After some delays and then some more delays SL-messenger.com 2.0 is closing in fast to public release.

There are some big changes in the new version, completely overhauled database design for speed (don’t worry we’ll migrite all your data from 1.0 to 2.0), Twitter/Jaiku support, Jabber, GTalk, MSN, AIM, ICQ, Gadu-Gadu support - yes you’ll be able to chat with your IM friends from SL :-), bookmarks, region rankings, screenshots, new badges and badge creation wizzard, and of course new web design.

Stay tuned.

In last few days I’ve spent some time on video.google.com watching various videos about Second Life. I thought it would be a good idea to blog about the few I find interesting to watch. So if you haven’t seen some or any of them, and you have a lot free time on your hands go ahead and watch them.

If you would like to have the secondlife:// protocol handling under Linux here is what you have to do:

1) Install Firefox
2) Launch it and in the address bar type:
about:config
3) Right click anywhere on the window and choose
New->Boolean

4) Type:
network.protocol-handler.external.secondlife
and choose
true

5) Again right click and choose
New->String
and type
network.protocol-handler.app.secondlife
and then type
/your/path/to/secondlife — it has to point to the secondlife script not to the folder alone (ie. /home/yazzgoth/SecondLife/secondlife )
