Go outdoors and get some fresh… Second Life!

Oh irony, why must you be so ironic?

Thanks to those who reminded me to go outdoors on previous Saturdays.

The funny thing is, the cellphone reception in my house sucks, so I must do exactly that to use the Second Life-Vollee mobile viewer. The further into the field, the better.

I previously wrote about my initial experiences, and I wanted to share some crisp shots which I took thanks to Ilium Screen Capture. I also like MyMobile for being able to view and control what’s happening on my AT&T HTC-8925 Tilt. Alas, like I said, I can’t effectively log on from indoors… so, gotta go to nature to get more connected with technology.

Handling SL this way is reminiscent of playing games on a handheld device like a Game Gear. I know it’s not a big stretch from the smartphones of today, but still — feels retro.

I noticed a couple bugs: (1) borked UI in the Friends list as you can see from pic #19 above, and (2) my inability to teleport via the normal way (it oddly does the same thing as “Show Destination”, altho I remember it working before), and will report them on the Vollee forums.

Here’s what it looks like in front of my house:
