We're still experiencing problems in Second Life since the last upgrade. There's a debate as to whether this is due to what Linden Labs has added to it's software, a problem with bandwidth or maybe a little of both. Either way, with the problems we're experiencing I am unable to call the group chat or even to hear voice chat in-world and we cannot teleport, so we are postponing our demo of the "Green Phosphor" software with Bob Wise from West Liberty University until these problems are resolved.

Instead, this week we will have a lab for working on note cards for the group project. You can also use this time for a building project you're working on. If you're working on a note card, you might need to log in to the location you're reviewing to avoid crashing when you try to teleport there.

SNOWMAN BUILDING CONTEST
Don't forget we have a Snowman Building Contest in progress. Pick up your entry form next to the sandbox on the Kirkwood island. Entries are due Wednesday, December 2nd with the award for best build given on Wednesday, December 9th. The winner will receive 500 Lindens. That's enough to load 50 textures for a Powerpoint slide show!

NOTE TO ALL MEMBERS:
If you're a Kirkwood faculty member don't forget to sign up for this free KCELT session on the Kirkwood EagleNet whether you plan to join us in person or virtually. Faculty members receive Professional Renewal Credit for all KCELT sessions, but you have to sign up to receive credit. You can find instructions for signing up here. Just search for "second life" to find our sessions for this semester. (Members from other colleges do not need to sign up to attend.) Since I will probably be unable to start a group chat, please IM me if you join us virtually so I will be able to count you as "present" on the attendance sheet. If you're planning to build in a sandbox other than on the Kirkwood island please IM me also for the same reason.

I hope to see you there.  : )
