Training Tuesdays

Well we missed some of you at training last night. Here is a picture of one of the training centers. We are planning to rotate the stores for training to give you an opportunity to see some of the other locations. Come join the fun and learn more about the product and meet other users.

Brain HUD free trial

The Brain HUD has been updated to version 2.138. What this version does is provide a 10 day free trial. You can purchase a free trial (see post below) which will give you 10 days to try out the HUD. After 10 days you will have to authorize your HUD at one of the 3 Brains R Us locations to restore full functionality to the HUD. Authorization costs 500 Lindens (approximately $1.81 in US currency) and is easy to perform. Simply pay the sign in the store 500 Lindens and click register HUD in the HUD menu. The Brain HUD will be fully functional once the registration is complete.

Many of you are familiar with free trials of software packages which require an unlock code to be purchased. This works in a similar manner with the exception that there is no unlock code needed. I believe this is the first time this capability has been made available in Second Life and we will look into the possibility of licensing this technology to other developers.

RSS feeds are also enabled now. You can add your own RSS feeds and toggle them off and on via menu. When you receive a RSS message the title and a link will be posted in local chat. It will also appear at the lower right of your Brain HUD as floating text above a silver ball. Just click the silver ball and it becomes bubble text. The bubble text floats upwards inworld and any one can click the bubble to get the link to the RSS article.

Virtual World Research

I went to a Smarter Technology Summit yesterday. This is where Brains R Us was able to present the product the first time to many. The event yesterday was quite interesting. This is Sponsored by IBM, smartertechnology.com it is an online community for strategists and IT decision-makers seeking to improve sustainability, efficiency and profitability through intelligent implementation of advanced technology throughout the enterprise. The discussion that day was about the upcoming Virtual World Conference. One discussion was about the enterprise and how they will fit into the picture. I view the Virtual Worlds evolving just as the Internet did with later having the Intranet for business. Here is a sample of some research that was done by the JWR. Very interesting research. That is why all these tools in development will make a difference as this evolves in this space.
