Warren Ellis, Reuters, Second Life
I’ve tried Second Life a few times, but the low-res feal of it always drives me away. That being said, there will be a point at which Second Life actually LOOKS GOOD. At that point, I won’t be able to stay away. In Second Life, you can build stuff and show it off in real time to people across the world – in that sense, it’s AWESOME.
Anyway, imagine my surprise last night when one of my favorite comic book authors sent out a blurb to his mailing list audience that he’s joining Reuters to report on Second Life! Congrats Warren!!!
For a (not safe for work or home) preview of what he has to say about Second Life, read his blog. Congrats, also, to Reuters for recognizing Warren’s talent.
Opera config files – comparing the 770 and the Mylo
NOTES:
- I changed the user agent spoof – it was originally set to 3 – meaning Opera on the 770 by default pretends to be IE 6.
- I’ve been using Opera for several days now and the settings may be quite different from the original opera.ini file. Other than the user agent, though, I haven’t directly edited this file.
- The Mylo ini file is from an unknown source and may or may not be the default settings for that device.
- I sorted the sections of the Mylo’s ini so that they were in basically the same order as the sections in my opera.ini to make comparisons easier. The unsorted version is here (original source) and here (backup).
The opera.ini file on my Nokia 770.
The .opera file on someone’s Sony Mylo.
Descriptions for ini sections for the desktop version of Opera are here.
UltraExplorer
Alex King pointed out UltraExplorer yesterday. I like it! It’s a replacement for Windows Explorer that incorporates functionality from other apps (like the MacOS X Finder) and has a tabbed interface so you can keep all your explorer windows together. Very cool. Just make sure you change the default view to ‘details’!!! (Tools-Options-ListView-General-DefaultView)
I’m sure it will be LifeHacker’s Download of the Day very soon.
