[...] For this project they use the IBM MQtt messaging system that Ginger Mandelbrot invented to hook all the monitoring devices together. And, Yossarian Seattle (also Rob Smart of Eightbar and creator of the much lauded SL Translator HUD), created the link from MQtt to Second Life so that messages can flow in and out of Second Life.

[...] If you want to see some examples, go to eightbar and get an insider’s view on how IBM Hursley�s Distinguished Engineers(DE) work on dreaming up the internet of things at every opportunity they get! Also, see TimeFrame in Second Life. [...]

[...] Today I was on a roll with the final virtual worlds pitch of the week in the company of two of Hursley’s Distinguished Engineers(DE), Mandy and Andy. Both of them are known for being great innovators and mentors a like and have a proper standing in our technical community based on doing things. I did my new Virtual Worlds pitch to a very knowlegable audience of visitors. Evangelizing as I do it is good to have a positive discussion rather than having to always convince the odd doubter in the crowd. On after me was Mandy talking about the problems of free thinkers and innovators within traditional management structures of any organization. Much talk of comfort zones, motivations and measurements. I twittered a few times that many of the phrases and examples of an attempt to control a free thinker were almost identical to the ones I have heard more than once during my career. The gist of the presentation is that if you do not pay attention to people and their new ideas and merely seek to control and tell them what to do then the true innovators peronality types will either leave, give up or become subversive. Part of the make up of some of the people that can be regarded as causing trouble/innovators is an apparent lack of attention, as new things come around and they get focus. Which in a traditional task based management structure is obviously hard for some people to manage or deal with. The irony of that was that Andy and I were at the back of the room trying out something Andy was putting together. So it may have seemed we were not paying attention. In reality we were helping Mandy by demonstrating the very traits that she was discussing. This is very different from people just ignoring the presenter and doing their emails. So what was Andy SC up to ? He too has got a Nokia n95 recently, though his came with his elevation to DE As an inventor and leader in all things pervasive he was exploring the barcode/QR code reader software whilst creating a few messages with some QR code creator software. He was showing it to me when I decided to flickr it live via the phone in a wheels within wheels type of way. I dont think Mandy was too upset as it was a quick burst of energy and as we broke for lunch everyone asked what it was. By that time it was a QR code clock, not unlike his TimeFrame in Second Life Now, next comes a Second Life implementation, prims or textures? [...]

Neat idea….

but you forgot to mention (though obvious if you understand such things) that the counter is counting seconds as binary digits in a 32 bit word

This is a fantastic idea. I whipped up my own version — there’s a snapshot at http://www.sluniverse.com/pics/pic.aspx?id=152317&sort=Pictures.PictureID+desc&Name=Taper+Pirandello . (There’s some bugs in mine, as I crufted it together this morning; I think I’ve got my 1s being black and my 0s white, and it’s a little out of sync with the text time_t display.)
