XML-RPC in LSL, as it stands, demands centralized servers that are constantly bombarded with traffic. Kelly Linden has proposed a new solution that practically amounts to a prim having its own little web server. I highly recommend voting for it.

@fleep turned me on to this article about why hiring bad or mediocre programmers will cost you more money in the long run. Great stuff. I’d be interested in seeing how HR folks, recruiters, and managers agree or disagree.

Okay, so I play (or whatever the appropriate verb is; someone tell me what it is, dammit!) Second Life quite a bit—probably too much—but I really dig this satire site [thanks, emjaybee!].

Among the best parts in the FAQ are:

• What’s this body thing, and what do I do with the dangly bits?
• Why can’t I build a dirigible with my mind?

And then, an image that says, “Fornicate using your actual genitals”. Awesome. Truthfully, though, I’m still perplexed why anyone has “sex” in SL.
