I’d love to come to one of these some time. It’s great you’re eating the dogfood. Arf!

Aye, Roo! *notes it down*

Aye, during the NBC event, I came to see the lighting of trees on different NBC sims. Tough day, esp. when I started seeing Live Help light up with all the issues, incl. me noticing I couldn’t pay someone else L$ properly.

Similarly, I also apologize if anyone sees this and tried to IM me while I was there; I wasn’t able to ably handle 50 IM windows at once, in addition to emails and blog posts I needed to do. (It sounds crazy, but I keep tellin’ the devs I’d like a big public indicator of how many people are IMing me!)

(That grass at the top always makes me smile: it’s subtle attention to detail like how “eightbar” is slightly obscured behind it. Sweet.)

I hope for better days ahead. :)

Apologies if you got blanked, I am sure it was not personal. We have about 650 people in eightbar some are very experienced but some are veyr new.
The NBC event was suffering from a problematic update, I know I was not getting responses during some of my conversations and relogged several times.

Erm. Look, I just bumped into some eightbar specialists over at NBC, tried saying hello - and was ignored. The IBM guy, when I said hello directly, did respond - but evaporated when there was trouble at the motherland (so he said)…

Folks, I was just saying hello. I mean - what’s up with that?

Hi Torley. Algernon Spackler is a “he”. :-)

Thanks Andy.. I had not spotted the non-Flash version. Cool.

[...] Over on the eightbar blog, there’s coverage of an event that was held today at IBM Bedfont in the UK and also, in parallel, within the Second Life environment. [...]

[...] Roo has posted more detail on today’s event over at the eightbar blog (which I think is the closest blog there is to a “spiritual home” of IBM and Virtual Worlds, given that both of our Metaverse Evangelists started out there). [...]
