This is the first episode of one of my other podcasts. Steampod! If you like Steampunk, you may wish to check out this podcast.

Why haven’t you seen me much in SL? What’s up with my second SL anniversary?

In trying to find ways to make this a podcast I want to do again, I’m going to try some new experiments.

Now that I have a working Windows machine, I’m going to try working with Fraps and see if I can make this a video based podcast. Not that everything will be going video, but I will try to see what I can do.

I know the attached video has some issues, I was using the trial version of Fraps, but was pleased enough with what I saw to get the full version. Tell me what you think please!

In today’s episode I play an interview I did with Ariana Pinkerton of SLC a couple of months ago. I do apologize it was originally meant to be the November episode and here it is already December. I might get another December episode out, for Christmas, I don’t know yet.

Sorry I don’t have any SLurls with this entry, I will try to put them up!

As some of you may know, for a while I hadn’t been very active in Second Life. Well thanks to a new viewer I’ve found for Mac, I find SL almost as good as it was nearly a year ago. And this is saying a lot, since my computer is now considered almost obsolete by today’s standard.

The viewer I’m now using is called OnRez, and you can find it at: http://viewer.onzrez.com. For those of you who watch US television, this is the special version of the viewer that was released for the CSI:NY episode that aired recently. They are currently running a contest in which you win real USD, if you can solve a mystery that is in CSI style.

The viewer itself is very responsive, and for me that is what was keeping me out of SL, the world seems to rez in record time around me. And it can also keep up better than the standard client can, for instance I went to the club on Aspen, and with everything turned on, my computer kept up pretty well.

It also seems much more stable than the standard client. Which raises the question, which is less stable, the client or the server? I’m somewhat thinking now that the client is where more of the problems are. So if your looking for an alternative client, and your on a Mac, check out OnRez (its also available on Windows). Know of any other SL Clients that work on Mac? Let me know!

Hey all,

I found that my former mp3 host, Libsyn, didn’t get rid of all of my files liked they promised to after I went 30 days without paying, so I have downloaded the ones I could, and I’ll slowly be putting them back up with at least minimal notes as to what the show is about.

Welcome back to The Kat’s Place, long time no see, I know. Today I speak a little about why I haven’t been releasing these lately (or for quite a while).

Short review of Octoberville, a very scary haunted sims. See more about Octoberville at this article on Second Life Hearld

Music for this episode: Jonathan Coultron’s re Your Brain’s.

Hey all, any chance you have old episodes of this podcast? Due to unfortuante mistakes, I don’t seem to have them any more :-(. If you do, please chat with me in world, or e-mail me at: kat@thekatsplace.com.

Thanks!
