Since I got involved with the Second Life .NET group, my free time has been eaten up by a monster! Ok, not the bad kind, but it's amazing how addictive Second Life is once you start to get involved with something worthwhile. We've been tackling this monster from two perspectives - one is to think about what members would like to see and do on the Microsoft Island, and the other is to get very geeky and enthusiastic about what the technology can do for us and figure out ways of making it work. It's a fun little hobby, made all the more exciting by the constant stream of client updates coming out from Linden Labs; the most recent Release Candidate viewer (1.19.1) has got us most excited, since it gives us the option of showing a web page in-world with very little effort. Ok, so it doesn't seem to work on any of my Vista machines, but I'm sure this will be fixed soon.
Anyway, as a result of all the work that's been done in-world, friend of the group, Todd Anglin of Telerik had a word with Richard Campbell of .NET Rocks (the excellent long-running podcast show on .NET development), and to cut a long story short, Kyle Gomboy (G2 Proto in SL) and I will be participating in a recording of the show next week about .NET in Second Life. I'm sure it'll be a fairly strange experience, but hopefully I won't make a complete fool of myself.
