here’s how to setup a Twitter list and how to access a Kitely world via that list (i hope i have all the steps here!) lol, this seems like a lot of steps but it took me only a two minutes to set up the Twitter access =)               [...]

i love Wired magazine (well, love is a bit strong – Wired is a necessary thing for “real” corporate nerds) and i have a long time friend who was an editor for Wired years ago. back in 2009 there “was a mention of yours truly for the cover of Wired magazine” (post on this blog) which never happened (the [...]

it’s no secret that i love Kitely – incredibly reasonable cost (cheap!) and outstanding service (better than a dedicated physical server). plus you can treat your world as a private grid with Twitter lists for access (among other group options) or be a part of their larger grid. i could go on and on but [...]

i am biased toward Kitely because they have fulfilled our virtual world needs and do so with great performance and outrageous pricing (as in cheap) performance exceeds what we had on our own physical service but it’s becoming more like comparing apples and oranges. i loved having our own server and OpenSim ran like a top, but [...]

wow, is that juvenile or what!?! *must be the Xmas Eve Frito pies we had* =p i missed the december 23rd Kitely blog post talking about the addition of fancy wind control (maybe because the post title was New Kitely Forums with Single Sign-On) =p In one of our recent updates we changed the default type [...]

=D as if my head wasn’t already of megaprim proportions and my avatar’s ego over the top, today i read a post, Fixed OpenSim Sun and Physics Bugs, that was attributed to a video i made demonstrating a minor issue in Kitely megaregions (wow, you can tell others that you know Ener Hax – my [...]

when we had our own server, i felt pretty fortunate – lots of hardware, great performance, and total freedom for over two years but i didn’t realise that i was also constrained by that freedom. the server was for one specific purpose – Enclave Harbour and i didn’t have a way to express myself in [...]

that’s right, 359 minutes of shopping is what you have done in the Ener Hax freebies on Kitely since it opened on november 11th. one minute shy of six hours! dang! =) there are not many things in the store but i hope some are useful for many people reading this blog, it’s the first time [...]

in Second Life prims are really what you are “buying” and they cost about two cents each per month (the $295 per month per sim and doesn’t include the initial $1000). being prim-conscious is always hanging over your head inSL and moving over to OpenSim relaxes that a bit having our own server for two [...]

Oren from Kitely just posted New Cloud-Based Inventory System which will speed up how fast you enter the world, reduce lag when others enter your world, and allow for faster inventory access. so maybe now your avatar being a cloud will turn into your avatar being in a cloud (and become a good thing) =) [...]

i’ve been using Kitely for a few weeks now and all seems well. i have to learn how to TP from world to world (i need to read the Kitely blog) and need to make a telehub for the freebie shop but those are minor things the performance of Kitely has been stellar – as [...]

if you’d like to get the items listed on enerhax.com in-world – now you can! the shop isn’t 100% ready but most web items are available. the items in the gray cube aren’t ready yet but will be soon and include some items not yet online since we have the Gold plan, we have 4 [...]

Ilan of Kitely presented a detailed and thorough presentation for the ISTE sigve speaker series (International Society for Technology in Education’s Special Interest Group Virtual Environments) his presentation is aimed at educators and sparked many ideas for me. the presentation is long at an hour and a half but wow it is packed with information, [...]

our move is complete from SimHost to Kitely and from recent posts you can see how and why we moved (how – copied our 16 regions to SoaS, converted to megaregion, exported OAR and terrain RAWs, imported to Kitely, and why – budget and project timeline delays) Enclave Harbour had been counted as its own grid [...]

Kitely gets the jump on offering megaregions commercially (Advanced Megaregions as of august ’12) and thus an influence on how regions are named. they use Cartesian numbering which is utilitarian and it makes sense to echo that with Sim-on-a-Stick (you can always change the names of the Sim-on-a-Stick regions by changing them in the region config file) [...]
