5 years too many!
It may seem like I've been neglecting CPSL, but many things have been happening behind the scenes.
Here I am in front of the new CP HQ on Commonwealth 4. No lag no more. Yes!!!!!! You can get there via this link to an SL url that will connect you to a page where you can activate Second Life if you have an active account. Commonwealth 4 is a new island on a class five server. The old location was just that -- old, slow and clunky.... but the new place absolutely whirs and hums contentedly. Envirolink (the RL entity behind Commonwealth) rocks!
And .... here I am in the temporary offices of CODEPINK on Avalon Isle where the Babel Project is located and with whom CODEPINK SL will be working to bring speakers and movies and more into SL about War, Peace, Iraq and other related topics. We will have a new and more permanent space in an as yet unbuilt non-profit tower on the island that should be appearing within a week or two.
I made this connection via attending discussions on Avalon by EU Parliament member, Paulo Casaca. More on that soon too. Where else but in SL can ordinary folks meet with world leaders who want to hear their questions and concerns?
Oh, yes, and for those SLers who couldn't get to CODEPINK meetings lately although you all made heroic (heroinic?) efforts..... I apologize. We have a zealous member scheduling regular meetings that aren't linked in to this network as well as we might hope and with my hard drive nose dive I couldn't even get on to give folks a heads up.
More soon, I promise!
