Metaplace embedded world: does it work in this blog post?

I've pasted the Metaplace embed code into this blog post.
I don't know if this will work at all.

オオカミとブタ。Stop motion with wolf, pig and 1300 pics.

I really like this video, so much in fact that I've promoted it on YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, Digg, orkut, and bebo, in addition to this blog post.

uWorld forums - why don't my posts show up?

I'm registered with the forums for the uWorld virtual world, and I can sign in and make a post, and it appears to work except for one small problem: the posts don't show up in the forum index.

It's hard to deal with a website in a language you can't read, and which if you are using a translated version, doesn't work because you can't be signed in on the translated version.

The url for the uWorld forums is http://bbs.uworld3d.com/mvnforum/mvnforum/index .

SL blast from the past: Impeach Bush!

This image adorned many a sign in SL at one time.  There would be a lot of them, on tiny parcels of virtual land, spoiling the view of the nearby users, driving some of them to pay exhorbitant sums to buy the parcel the signs were on so they could restore the view, or to sell their land, sometimes at very low prices.



This blurry image was probably captured from SL in a group's badge image or similar part of the interface.  The words are "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS • End the Illegal War in Iraq • Support US credibility • IMPEACH BUSH"

Are Hipihi forums broken, and why is my Hipihi "Account Locked"?

I can't start new threads in the Hipihi forums. Anyone know why, what to do about it, or how to get the Hipihi folks to fix the forums, or whatever?

Also when I try to log in to Hipihi now, I get an "Account Locked" message. Anyone know what to do about that?

Hipihi is open beta now

The indented section following is copied from the HIpihi forums English language forum, the Overseas Zone:

HiPiHi enters open public beta

We are very excited announce the debuting of HiPiHi’s open public beta test, beginning from April 18th,
2008. From now on, our HiPiHi world will welcome new residents from all
corners around the world and join our existing residents on this
magical land created by yourselves.


During this period, feel free to invite your friends to become new residents through our new resident registration page

For our existing residents (who did not complete the name-change process during April 2nd -17th),
we will kept your virtual assets on our server but your username runs
the risk of being over-ridden by new residents as their “nickname”. You
can still use your old username and password to take back your assets.


Here are some examples for you to understand your situation:

  1. Resident
    “Happygirl” did not complete the name-change process during April 2nd
    -17th. From April 18th, new residents may take this name as their
    nickname.
  2. If Resident “happygirl” trys to log in after
    April 18th, she will be auto-directed to the name-change page, where
    she may still use “Happygirl” as her username if it has not been taken
    by new users, or to change her name (e.g. “happgirl_me”) if her old
    name was occupied by a new resident.


We kindly remind you to enter our name-change page as soon as possible to protect your old username.

Note: Please download our 50021 customer side for your usage in this new period.


The start page for Hipihi is hipihi.com .

The English information page is at http://www.hipihi.com/index_en.html .

The English registration page is at http://service.hipihi.com/member/register/en/register.jhtml .

For help in English with Hipihi you can use the Hipihi OverSeas Zone forum, once you've registered with Hipihi. Note that the forum software itself is in Chinese.

Another place to go for help in English with Hipihi is www.ideashape.com.

. Note that the forum software at ideashape is in English.

There's also a Hipihi group in facebook.

The downloads from Hipihi have always been slow for me, and they might for you. So - be patient. It's not like you have to just watch the download screen it's downloading.

I'm still waiting for the download to complete, so I don't know exactly what to expect yet.

This is a beta; it's not the finished product. One can expect to have some rocky riding during a beta.

I'm not sure about the language requirements for this version, or the degree to which the interface is available in English.

So - why not give Hipihi a try?
