And promptly forgot my password for my Avatar in Second Life. Getting a new password is not easy, and in the process I discovered my old avatar from my first trial of Second Life.<br /><br />So now I`m back in Second Life as PerArne McMillan. The surname is chosen by Second Life, but it`s not a bad choice as it`s quite close to <a href="http://it-mo.hinesna.no/%7Epag/pag/bell/MacMillan.html">MacMillan</a> :-)<br /><br />My new Lap Top has a slightly stronger processor than my previous, but a weaker graphics card and that shows itself in quite a number of crash situations.<br /><br />Second Life is certainly not for the everyday teacher computer!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4303561684690332485-790120131357439929?l=secondlifegodejord.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Godejordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738755435183109200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4303561684690332485.post-26000351632044393822008-03-14T12:58:00.000-07:002008-03-15T12:48:30.047-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wnLPUKQ7I/AAAAAAAAAI0/_-13c0WXl0I/s1600-h/DSC05765.jpg"><img dragover="true" style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wnLPUKQ7I/AAAAAAAAAI0/_-13c0WXl0I/s320/DSC05765.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178056745612362674" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wnTfUKQ8I/AAAAAAAAAI8/wyUWReOVnbg/s1600-h/SL.jpg"><img dragover="true" style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wnTfUKQ8I/AAAAAAAAAI8/wyUWReOVnbg/s320/SL.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178056887346283458" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wngvUKQ9I/AAAAAAAAAJE/EkwV7BEJbvU/s1600-h/bellformal.jpg"><img dragover="true" style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_4jTZcyACHsM/R9wngvUKQ9I/AAAAAAAAAJE/EkwV7BEJbvU/s320/bellformal.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178057114979550162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />As a part of teaching Social Informatics, I decided to go into <a href="http://secondlife.com/">Second Life</a>. My avatar is <a dragover="true" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_kilt">kilted</a>, and is called <a href="http://clanbell.blogspot.com/">Bell</a> McCullough.<br /><br />We at Nesna University College have not yet built a place of our own i Second Life, so I hang around on <a href="http://kamimo-islands.blogspot.com/">Kamimo Islands</a>.<br /><br />I have not bothered to use any money on creating a more lifelike <a dragover="true" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar_%28computing%29">avatar</a>, but I have tried to make some elements similar; like a beard, grey hair and a sort of "home made" kilt :-) There are some free "clothes" to get in Second Life, and the last avatar picture is the result of a visit to some Scottish places and a small adjustment of the color of the kilt (more Bell like). And voila! A slightly more formal look. So now i may go to parties in Second Life :-D<br /><p dragover="true"><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4303561684690332485-2600035163204439382?l=secondlifegodejord.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Godejordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17738755435183109200noreply@blogger.com0
