CodeOrgan: How to Play Hibernia on the Skids

Mr. Mason turned me on to this-- a site that encodes your website as music of sorts. I rather like Hibernia's "Sound".

Port Harbor: Stunning Lot. Polymath Eyrie for sale


Hotspur O'toole announces a unique land opportunity in Steelhead Harbor. "The Rock", a small island (1024 lot 441-442), is located almost in the exact center of the Steelhead Community, surrounded entirely by water. The Lot will support up to 534 primitive objects. Building on a vertical axis (e.g., a tower) the view can be quite spectacular indeed.

See Hotspur OToole in world with an offer.

Farewell, Port Merrimac

For the past year or more of Second Life time, a loose confederation of people enjoyed the hospitality of Zatzai Asturias, the Autocrat of the Island of Lilliput. In exchange for maintaining a fleet in being, the Autocrat gave us refuge and a place to repair our ships, as well as practice battles on Thursday nights. Sadly, Mr. Asturias has moved on and is no longer participating in Second Life. His sims were sold with the exception of Roatan (where Port M. was), Zatzai and Artificial Isle. We held out hope that Mr. Asturias would wish to come back in world at some point, but circumstances did not work out that way. So, sadly, I have to announce that Port Merrimac, scene of many roleplaying adventures and many, MANY naval battles, is no more. Roatan, Artificial Isle and Zatzai will revert to the Battle Circle community owner (MarkTwain White) and they will be redubbed Blake's Roatan, Blake's Zatzai, and Blake's Diego. As a concession to all the ironclad enthusiasts that once played there, Mr. White has set up a sanctuary dock to hold battles from in world, and I will be publishing the Slurl to that once it is in my possession.

The time at Port Merrimac was some of the funnest and happiest in my experience in Second Life, and I shall miss it very much.  But the nature of life is change, and that statement holds true doubly so for Virtual Reality too.

Farewell, Port Merrimac, You were great fun when we had you.
