I enjoy the social virtual worlds such as Second Life, where my avatars are known as Rock Ryder (business) and Rock Vacirca (social) and OpenSim/OSGrid (Rock Vacirca). I am currently involved in beta testing the new Blue Mars virtual world, again, as Rock Vacirca.

Blue Mars Beta Delayed
I received an email from the Blue Mars team today informing me that the beta originally slated for Jan/Feb 2009 has now been postponed until the end of march 2009.

Changes to the Save-Oar and Load-Oar Commands
From r7896 of the OpenSim software the Save-Oar command now saves not only all the prims on a region, but also the terrain textures and other region settings that you find in the viewer, under the menu - World, Region/Estate, Region tab, such as Water Height, Agent Limit, Object Bonus etc, and the settings in the Debug, Ground Textures, and Terrain tabs.
