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:
