New Viewer: 1.18.4 Release Candidate Available Today! A new client is available for Second Life, version 1.18.4, new features include a lag meter, some new interface changes to allow you to opt in or opt out on all of your profiles, parcels, for sale objects, not for sale, regions and groups for the new search that will be released by Linden Labs, as a way for everyone to set their preferences before they launch it. But, don’t expect the checkboxes to all be in the same spot, as they are spread around the various parts of Second Life, one in your profile, one in groups, etc. More info from this post, New Search Currently Under Development by Jeska Linden. But… don’t be too quick to jump on the new release bandwagon, as many residents have been crashing since the upgrade to the latest version, they are asking for more specific information on this post, Crashes and Today’s Release Candidate. Currently about 15 reported bugs for version 1.18.4.

New SL Search Katherine Berry has found the app on the Second Life site that you can use to try out the new search right now, and since it uses Google, it’s pretty easy to just enter the url and get the results. Using the Island where I reside, Unicorn Isle as an example, it lists the region, the island and lots of other stuff, clicking on the Island brings up a button to teleport there and a listing of everything on the Island I believe, whether it’s for sale or not. If you click on a resident, it lists some of the info you would expect on their profile, and it has a link to their profile, most of which right now do not work. Anyway, something to play with, check your rankings in Second Life now.

[SLED] Networking Education and Technology in Second Life I’ve been working with the Sloan Consortium (http://www.sloan-c.org/) to organize activities for higher-ed faculty, administrators, and staff in Second Life. We’ve called the group Sloan-C SL-NET (Second Life - Networking Education and Technology). SL-NET is a group of college and university educators using Second Life and other technology to provide more effective learning experiences for their students and professional development opportunities for themselves.

Leopard Loves Second Life I downloaded it and began drooling almost immediately, but I stopped long enough to notice something when the presented demoed Stacks.

Take another look at what’s in that folder: it’s the SecondLife.pkg! I’m enough of a freak to begin speculating immediately.
