Just posting this from the comfort of my sofa via my ds lite after buying the nintendo ds browser earlier today. After a quick play it seems pretty easy to use although the interface will take some getting used to and the features aren’t as cutting edge as i’d originally hoped. Not too shabby as an add-on though !

Just successfully completed a vocal node operation last night with nine seconds to spare after having problems with the magnifier procedure – really engrossing and intricate skills were needed.

As I worked through the operation for the third time I could start to see the correct process to undertake. Would I remember the correct procedure in the future – probably a lot more likely than if I had read it in a book…..

Also mentioning Schizophrenia earlier today here is a use of Second Life to simulate it plus a pre SL version….

Well I finally succumbed last night and now have a second life account to go along with all of my other virtual accounts and ID’s. What with a house and identity in Animal Crossing on Nintendo DS as well things could get a bit schizophrenic in the future.

I’ve tried accessing SL on both Mac and Windows platforms successfully although they creak a bit on both as I don’t have a state of the art machine.

It still seems a bit unreal to me when users post their second life names after their real names but nevertheless let’s see how things pan out. You can now meet me in-world as Andy Ginsberg !
