Tonight Live is UP!

Another great crowd! (We crashed the Sim! )and a great show! Guests included Chancellor of Caledon Oxbridge, Carl Metropolitan talking about the scrapped community gateway program;  singer / songwriter Tribbs Nirvana; and well known journalist and blogger Mitch Wagner for a perspective on Linden Labs new Fast Easy Fun.

The results of my escapade into “Noob land” come full circle on this show in a revealing interview with Carl Metropolitan. Who gives his take on the scrapping of the Community Gateway program that helped new users learn about Second Life without being harassed, and confused.

Tribbs Nirvana is a wonderfull Singer and Musician and she loves her hippy SL pad, she wants one in real life! she also talked about her V’logging and what it means to her and why and HOW she does it.

Mitch Wagner mentions in this interview that he  spoke with Philp Linden last week about all the recent Linden Lab announcements, (off the record) he gives us his insight into what Philp really thinks right now, and how Philip Linden is disappointed by the response to his SLCC Keynote amongst other things. Mitch also talks about why he is moving away from Second Life and what led to that. Mitch has a strong response to the Teen Grid closing and talks about that also. Enjoy the show!

This Week on Tonight Live, Fast Easy Fun with Mitch Wagner, Tribbs Nirvana and Noobs with Carl Metropolitan

Last weeks show with the Emerald Owners, was a blast! but its now onwards and upwards, I’m sure most of you still have many many questions about Emerald, and will be watching to see if you get a more trustworthy better client from them, and we wish them well. But its now time to catch up on some other stories that were pushed off the “FRONT PAGE” (as it were) when the Emerald Story broke.

I sense a feeling of great hope within Second Life, and yet I also feel there is some great uncertainness. Under the reign of M LInden there was a huge push towards Serious Business, Education, and new users, at the sacrifice of the regular users of Second Life. The existing and dedicated residents during this time let Linden Lab know in no uncertain terms, that they now felt unwelcome, ignored, and not part of the future picture that Linden Lab were painting. It seemed Linden Lab wanted more and better “NORMAL” users, money through serious business, and credibitlity through Education.

Paisley Beebe Goes Undercover as a Noob

In my effort to be taken seriously as a Talk Show host…and …interviewer…I decided that with Carl Metropolitan from the previous Community Gateway of Caledon coming on the show this week to talk about the Linden Lab Community Gateway Program recently being disbanded, that I would go DEEP undercover as a NOOB. To go where no Talk Show Host has gone before…What would I find? what obstacles would I have to overcome?. This was of course a natural journey for me, being, as I studied for 3 years as a Method Actress, it would be easy to impersonate a Noob…well not really impersonate but to find the essence of the noob…and get into the motivations and psyche of the noob, using one or more of the 43 motivational techniques I had learned and memorised in my Method acting classes.

Firstly… I had to find how to join up on the Second Life website…that was no easy task….this was like a quest, a test? where is the” join now” button?? oh Big Gold Button!!!……Clicks it…um…I was then taken to the “create a name” screen! OMG I have to create a name…um…Boompsie was a name that no one would associate with a serious journa…um Talk Show host like me..Boompsie Qissinger is the name I chose because phonetically it sounded like a very impressive name….a man who was a famous ambassador a mediator…a crook???? um ok…Now to choose an avi, I choose a serious looking sort of UNDERCOVER Avi, and …oh should I lie about my age? um…..well why not? never be legally be able to do that any other time! Oh come on! I only took 10 years off!

Rose was the Banned Artist from this years SLB7, she talks about how she felt about having her beautiful work just “mailed” back to her by Courtney Linden with not much of an explanation. And Keiko is “That Girl” the “IT” girl from the Second Life ads all over, “Be Your Avatar” She talks during this Show about how she is now recognised in the Bank Queue and the Grocery store after all her publicity from being a Musician on Second Life. Of course we also have the Emerald leaders on the show. (did you miss that?) Arabella Steadham and Jessica Lyon talking in depth about the recent Emerald Viewer drama’s.

Filmed from a “secret” location due to instability (ie all sorts of shenanigans..to quote Arabella)  from our normal Studio…Please enjoy….

Behind The Scenes Of Tonights Show

Thought you might be interested to know some of.. what happened behind the scenes leading up to todays Mega Tonight Live with Paisley Beebe Show. Firstly BIG thanks for all the guests who agreed to come on the show.

In a way Rose Borchovski and Keiko Takamura were hijacked at this show, but I wanted both of them on the show and the Emerald Team, we had prepared for them, and they both deserved to benifit from the huge exposure that this show got. To their credit they did not back down, and I think their interviews were wonderful.

About five weeks back, I decided I wanted to have the Emerald Viewer Developers on Tonight Live, why? Well the Emerald viewer had caught my eye..again. I had downloaded a Beta 64bit Emerald viewer for the Windows side of my Mac, that was essentially screaming along in fps for me. Now..I live very close to the City of Sydney but I get 5fps out here on the Beaches, ADSL, bad old copper wiring and 3K from the nearest Phone Exchange…and my Macbook Pro has again fallen behind Windows on frame rate for me. My Laptop has only JUST had its first birthday, when I bought it last year I had it custom designed with the fastest Graphic Card available on Macbook Pro. Being as I’m often in very overcrowded lag I needed it. I’d used Emerald before with varying results but this Beta download surpassed them all. (The download has since been recalled)

Obviously last week I noticed things in the Emerald camp started to break down, first the news about LordGregGreg leaving the team, then the latest curfuffle over the last few days. See Modular Systems website if you’ve been out of town for a while..
