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 18^th,
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 -17^th),
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.

Download link: http://www.hipihi.com/download/HiPiHi_world_50021.exe

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?

Hipihi: Box of Doom

When Hipihi first added attachments I managed to attach a huge hollow box, a one room one prim building, to my avatar.

Now the giant box of doom reappears at times, at other times the huge box sits on the ground on my land.

I tried to put an embedded video here but it didn't work, so, here's the url: http://screencast.com/t/u1TInkdcE

Me.dium - what the heck is it? does it work?

There's a Flock extension called Me.dium that apparently let's you see what other people are browsing on, or chat with other people that are using Me.dium.

The interface  is confusing.  The interface fits in a sidebar, and shows some sort of graph or diagram or website favicons that changes as you surf in the other side of the screen.

People type stuff in a tiny text entry area with a lot of typing lag, and then they can't see their text appear.

The comments appear disjointed like no one sees anyone else's comments and thus no one gets a response.

The scroll bar in the chat area vanishes when the cursor isn't over it so it might take you hours to find or maybe you wouldn't never find it at all. 

I can't see what good this application is.

Hipihi's HiTV

I just now came across some Hipihi advertisements that I enjoyed watching.

If someone could translate the Chinese into English I'd appreciate it, and I'm sure there are others who would appreciate a tranlation into their native or preferred tongue.

Here's one:


And here's another one:



I've seen some Flash on prims in Hipih but I've not seen any video's of any length.

It's nice to see these video's on YouTube. The governments of the world may work to impede communication between the peoples of the world but the people of the world know better.

It's also interesting to see the toilet plunger attached to one of the avatars. Some important things, such as good will or plumbing tools, transcend national boundaries.

Looking for a beginners guide to Ruby using Heroku

I'm looking for a beginners guide to Ruby using Heroku. 

I have no experience with or knowledge of Ruby.  I've looked at an old Ruby book long enough to think the syntax looked nice. 

I think they've changed the syntax since then but maybe it's still not too bad.

How to fill in the Meet-Me registration form?

Google translate the registration form below  for the Meet-Me virtual world as :

Please enter your personal information. (※: Required)
※ meet me ID -
'_','-', 3 to 15 alphanumeric characters. Turns is only the beginning.
※ password
Only alphanumeric characters, 6 to 20 characters
※ password
(Check)
※ Name Last Name Name (Kanji)

State ※

I don't know what to put for the Name Last Name Name Kanji and the the Name Last Name Name Cana.

I also don't know what to put for zip code and state - this is from a Japanese company, there is no country asked for, so they must be looking for Japanese address answers.

I want to see the Meet-Me world.  Can you help?

Google Advanced Search changes for the worse

Google has messed up their advanced search function, hiding some of the fields that I use in searching  quite frequently.

Why dumb down the advanced search?  Is this a bad attempt at popularizing something not likely to be popular no matter what you do,  like Advanced Linear Algebra For Dummies?

What search engines offer good advanced search capabilities?

Google, maybe you've run out of good ideas if your idea of improving things is rearranging things and making them harder to get to and where you won't know what you are missing because you include stuff in the term "more".

If you want to attract "advanced searchers", give us boolean logic like the old Alta Vista and Hotspot sites had back in the day.

Fixing Fouled Up Favicons in Flock?

The favicons for SecondLife.com sites has gotten screwed up in Flock on my system.

The tabs for secondlife.com sites were tending to display some orange and black icon I don't recognize.

With a few minutes of my attention I've managed to get it screwed up even worse that before.

Now there's a whole bunch of sites showing the default favicon.

Doing About:Config and turning browser site icons off and back on doesn't fixing it.

Deleting a bookmark for the site and reinstalling it doesn't work.

I tried adding a Firefox extension that let's you change favicons for bookmarks but I don't necessarily have the favicons and the problem isn't just or primarily with favicons for bookmarks, it's the favicons for the tabs also.

Second Life has a number of places that new users can sign up with that start the user out at different places in Second Life, places operated by various third party in partnership with Linden Lab, with the different places having different styles according to the tastes of the Second Life community partner.

Flock: much better when it's working right!

I've been using the Flock browser for a little while now for my regular browsing, 

I did not have the social networking features working properly.

I suspect this is because I junked it up by adding a bunch of Firefox extensions that messed it up.   I'm not sure what the problem was.

I use two computers, the better one more for virtual worlds, and the slower one for surfing.  Yesterday I decided to install the new 1.1 beta on the better machine, where it would have a fresh start, no old registry entries, no desire to copy anything from an old installation, etc.

I then went through and did the Tools Accounts and Services procedure, logging in to  facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, Wordpress.com, gmail, yahoo mail, etc.

I now have the social networking features working properly for the first time.  I have one list that has all my "friends" from Twitter, facebook, YouTube, and Flickr in one list.  Each "friend" has options to message them, check their profile, etc, varying with which service the connection has been made with. 

There's a search field to search for names, searching the combined friend's list for all the services.

It's quite neat really.  I'd been pleased with Flock just for normal surfing.   Now that I got it working more properly, and became a bit more familiar with the instructions, it's much better.

I definitely  recommend giving flock a try as a browser. 

Hmm, that reminds, I haven't  updated my Opera Kestrel 9.5  beta yet this weekend.

Bricabox - where are the instructions?

If you want to make a Bricabox site that works like the premade discussion board one, but you want to do it starting from scratch, how do you do that?

I don't see in the way of instructions. There are some not very polished videos. There is very little action at the Bricabox Google group.

Google groups aren't really very good compared to a number of free forums one could use instead. I've got a Google group, I know, a company should do better than use a Google group. Be that as it may, a Google group would be ok if the questions get answered. I'm waiting for an answer to my question in the Bricabox Google group.

If you have no idea what Bricabox is and want to find out, go to bricabox.com, then this post will make a bit more sense.

"DD YOU" - Blogspot.com anomaly - what is it and how does one destroy it?

Why does this DD YOU appear and what does one have to do to stop if from appearing?

The Hipihi company gives its users the finger.

The Hipihi company  has given its users the finger. To be more accurate, it's given each of them ten fingers.

The fingers the users have received are attachment points, parts of the avatar body to which a virtual world object can be attached, or in Hipihi-English parlance, mounted.



The Hipihi company has not only given it's users ten fingers, it's also given them upper arms, elbows, forearms, wrists, and hands, and a bunch more attachment points on other body parts.

Hipihi now has the capacity for user created textures for objects like houses and furniture, user created textures for clothing, user created objects made from parametric prims, user modifiable pre-made objects, and user created custom animations.  The custom textured, custom made objects can be attached to the avatars to create object-style costume pieces  for humanoid avatars, like helmets and armor, or to create robots, animals, cartoon characters, etc.

With each finger having one attachment point, I bet users won't take too long to start asking for separate attachment points for each joint.  That's just the way users are, eh?




Here I am with a few objects attached to upper arm, forearm, and skull.

Flock support forums are not posting?

Looks to me like the Flock browser's support forum's posts aren't getting posted.

It's a "moderator approval before the post is shown" sort of forum.

Is the moderator on vacation?

It's not very social behavior for a social browser to exhibit.
