The event went, at least from what I saw and heard, very smoothly - and for a significant amount of time (90 minutes rather than 3,600 seconds).<BR/><BR/>It was kinda weird for me, as it was my <A HREF="http://www.silversprite.com/?p=414" REL="nofollow">first experience of listening to voice</A> (impressed by the quality of it). Also, I was very aware (especially when they laughed) of the presence of ex-work colleagues in a sort of disembodied way. They were in Bristol, and I was on a rock in the Outer Hebrides, so it was kind of strange to get a "remote reaction" in some kind of communication form to events and input during the event. While typing wistfully about food memories in Bristol, am sure I could almost smell/taste it.<BR/><BR/>Overall, I thought this went smoother than most "Real World Only" 90 minute events I've been to in the last year. Interesting and fun (as both an observer and participant/agitator too!).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02193076122436074948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-19666839951319954852007-12-14T04:31:00.000-08:002007-12-14T04:31:00.000-08:00Missed this one (not in Facebook :p and busy IRL a...Missed this one (not in Facebook :p and busy IRL anyway) but Art deserves massive credit for exploring the boundaries of the plausible. Personally, I think you need three people, one to run the meeting, one to do the technical stuff and one to firefight/fetch/carry. I've noticed that Lit Alive! tends to operate with three though the roles may differ a little from those I defined. Two of those are, I suspect, working for 'love', not money, a rather counter-cultural but interesting aspect of SL.Peter Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811527782413146351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-49289833542253001142007-12-14T03:17:00.000-08:002007-12-14T03:17:00.000-08:00@andymee thanks. you are absolutely right... one ...@andymee thanks. you are absolutely right... one of the things i forgot to do (and I really should know better!) was to properly spell out to both audiences right at the start what the technical set up was and how many people were in each audience. sorry about that...Art Fossetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036853556502498237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-84501364535333915522007-12-14T01:49:00.000-08:002007-12-14T01:49:00.000-08:00Hi Art.

Your presentation <A HREF="http://andymee.wordpress.com/2007/12/13/second-life-in-3600-seconds/" REL="nofollow">came off very well in world</A> both in terms of content and delivery. I would have liked to see the Real Life room as, although I was aware of staff at Bristol, I didn't realise there were 30+ of them (mental note to think more about chat before posting it in world). You did a great job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-812407467138247259.post-62434737271173846982007-12-13T16:39:00.000-08:002007-12-13T16:39:00.000-08:00Hello Art, yes it was a great effort on your part,...Hello Art, yes it was a great effort on your part, and thanks to an invite from a colleague in the UK I was able to join your group 'in world' at least for part of your talk. From our experiences here in Australia you do need to have two people to manage all these things! and you were managing a great deal which is a real credit. I really appreciate that you made this session available in SL, and hope there are more opportunities for us downunder to benefit from your expertise. Cheers, and thanks a lot.
