Fashion, Hairstyle, Tattoo and Insurance: Juli 2009

Google telah mengumumkan bahwa 'spesies' barunya, yang menggabungkan layanan email dan instant messaging bernama Google Wave akan segera diluncurkan akhir September tahun ini.

Google Wave telah dipersiapkan Google untuk merevolusi komunikasi online real time baru yang kaya akan beragam fitur.

Pada kemunculan awalnya nanti, layanan ini baru bisa dinikmati oleh sekira 100.000 orang yang telah khusus mendaftar sebagai pengguna perdana yang mengakses Google Wave. Baru kemudian layanan Google Wave akan diperluas setelah satu bulan atau lebih masa uji coba perdana.

Sejauh ini baru ada 25.000 orang yang telah terdaftar sebagai pengakses perdana. Mereka tak lain adalah para pengembang yang turut membangun aplikasi dan perangkat baru bagi Google Wave.

Google sangat yakin, bahwa Google Wave benar-benar mewakili pembaharuan baru di bidang komunikasi online, dengan menggabungkan chatting real-time dan email kedalam jendela browser tunggal.

"Pengguna akan bisa menyeting Google Wave sesuai keinginan mereka, bertukar foto, melihat peta online, video, dokumen dan informasi lain secara live melalui jaringan internet yang real time," kata juru bicara Google.

Google pun mengundang mereka yang ingin menjadi pengguna perdana untuk merasakan layanan ini dengan cara mendaftar di situs Google Wave yang beralamat di http://wave.google.com. Seperti yang telah disebutkan Google, kesempatan perdana ini hanya terbatas bagi 100.000 orang pendaftar pertama. (Telegraph/Okezone)

[UPDATE: September 12, 2009] I corrected a few mistakes over time (thanks for the head-ups everyone), so if something didn't work for you, try again now :)

Aah, prims. Plywood shapes that magically turn into the most beautiful SL builds. Yes, those prims know how to twist and shout! ... Wait, wh... what?! ... I'm talking about prim twisting - shaping prims into unusual shapes. Prim magic!

We've got sculpties in SL now, which means almost any prim shape is possible without big prim cost. But back then, before sculpties rocked SL, you needed different methods - you needed methods that worked with regular prims. These methods were discovered by early SL residents and sometimes kept secret (the famous one prim double knot for example). I think even the most advanced builder/sculpter should know the basics. You should never underestimate the power of regular prims. That's why I'm giving you this ultimate guide to prim twisting. Every item shown here is only one prim!

Enjoy, comment and share with friends :)

If you can't figure out how to set textures on the panels, check Shifter Gynoid's comment below. He explains nicely what you need to do to display these textures correctly.
