[Opensim-users] How to export to OpenSim

Sat Aug 28 13:13:02 UTC 2010

Well there are a couple of reasons why not, most of all is that I am
involved with a bunch of RL things that take most of my time. The time I do
get to spend here I have been using to bring up my own sim under V0.7.x

Last time I looked the  realXtend stuff (including the viewers) was Windows
only and I use Linux almost exclusively for my software development now. One
of the very few exceptions is a Win 7 partition devoted to Poser Pro.

It was Adam's stuff that I was referring to with the OS "hooks" - I have no
idea about the specifics though.

>From what I have been seeing with the current Linden Lab/Second Life
drama(s) I sure wouldn't count on Second Life to do much of anything for a
long time!

I monitor a web site that specializes in "restrcited" stocks like Linden Lab
and I notice that they haven't even posted a bid on that stock since March.
Even for a pre-IPO stock that is a very long time without any buyers - there
is almost always someone willing to buy at a steep enough discount. This
leads me to believe that the Linden Lab situation of far worse than anyone
is admitting.

All of that being said, I do hope to get involved with your efforts (and
maybe do some Linux/Ubuntu related support :-)  ) once other things settle
down a little.
