Article on MaxPing.org, and Wizards'Guild

new article about Green Phosphor on MaxPing

The above article shows off Glasshouse Excel integration and realtime graphs in Second Life, and goes on to talk about the secure, subscription service we will be releasing - along with pricing.

The article also talks about the guild we want to help create... the Wizards'Guild. Check it out! I also started a discussion about the guild at the Thinkbalm Innovation Community, and in MaxPing's forums.

See an Excel sheet in SL with Glasshouse

Once you run Glasshouse and load an Excel file, it's easy to make changes and pull those changes into the graph you create in Second Life. We added a refresh menu option to the green cube.

live graph quick demo

This video really doesn't do the live graph justice; you should really see it in-world. But here it is anyway. :)

new hq in sl; time-series; OLIVE; python MXP!!!

Green Phosphor has a new headquarters in Second Life, next door to Popcha! and Brooklyn is Watching. Here's a SLurl:

Our buildings were designed and constructed by architect Werner Kurosawa.

Ed has implemented time series animation in Glasshouse and in the Wonderland CICP adapter. In our Wonderland sandbox you can look at a graph of quarterback stats changing over time. It's killer. We're now applying this new capability to visualization of the stock market.

---

The integration of Glasshouse with Forterra's OLIVE virtual world platform is going swimmingly. I visited their offices last week to see how things were going and I'm psyched. OLIVE is a fantastic platform.

---

I am super excited about the latest MXP developments (http://bubblecloud.org). Dan Miller is involved, and working with everyone on a python implementation of an MXP viewer! This is what MXP is all about: enabling multiple platforms to interoperate. Python, c#, Java, c++... heck SmallTalk even... we should all be able to play together nicely.

That's all for now...

fun in the sandbox

I love working in Second Life sandboxen. Anything can happen; last week I was coding for eight hours straight and someone came in and shot me with some kind of weapon, probably just testing it... my avatar was propelled up in the air with all kinds of colored balls flying around me. When I landed my pulse was going crazy and I rezzed out one of my blue spheres to harass the person. Here's a quick excerpt from a chat I had just today, about another incident:

hotshotscott7: back
me: you missed some fun
Ed and I were in world and some dude came over spewing out black swastikas
hotshotscott7: lol wtf
me: so I rezzed out a blue ball that stuck to his crotch
then he got some chick to teleport in who was fiddling around with some kind of weapon but she never got it to work right

This is the real and surreal life in the metaverse. Love it I have to say.
