Second Life metaverse assault on Anshe Chung

A bunch of griefers in Second Life staged a members-only metaverse assault on “virtual real estate tycoon” Anshe Chung yesterday, during a staged SL event with CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman. A torrent of pixelated male genitals rained upon the victim, whose offline name is Ailin Graef.

Steve Hutcheon of the Sydney Morning Herald filed a comprehensive report of the incident here. Snip from Steve’s report:

“She is very popular, and some people don’t like her,” said CNET reporter Daniel Terdiman, whose Second Life avatar (online persona), GreeterDan Godel, was interviewing Anshe at the time of the attack.

“She’s made a lot of money, and is one of the most prominent of all Second Life residents. So to some people, some griefers, that makes her a target.”

Griefers are so-called because they create grief. Their antics are designed to interrupt proceedings in virtual worlds and games usually for no other reason than because they can.

Attacks like the one launched against Anshe are triggered by a program code that generates self-replicating objects.

Much like email spam, these “griefspawn” attacks can chew up system resources and slowing down performance. They can sometimes even trigger network crashes.

First Emakina Hackademy this sunday

Our Emakina Academy events, targeted to our customer and prospects, are a great success, usually the room is full. So I had that new idea (monthes before Yahoo even think of its Yahoo Hack Day) : an Emakina Hackademy for our passionate staff and this sunday was the first edition…

Seems the first Emakina Hackademy was a complete failure. I should have probably avoided picking the sunday after the Nuit Blanche 2006, which was coincidally the sunday of 0110, free concerts all around belgium… AND the day of the only event of Watermael-Boisfort, a brocante that blocked the whole access to the office.

So I was alone this sunday, but … I had great fun. I have been evaluating those hot web technologies :

Also interesting stuff I watched this sunday :

All Of MP3 est-il legal ?

Le site russe All of MP3 offre une collection gigantesque de CD téléchargeables au prix ahurissant d’environ 1 EUR chacun ! Le site est légal car en Russie ce type de site est assimilé aux radios et donc parfaitement autorisé. Il y a toutes les fonctionnalités : pré-écoute, charts, etc. Le paiement via VISA est sécurisé. Bien sûr, le téléchargement est soumis aux lois applicables dans le pays de l’acheteur (donc, uniquement copie privée). Après lecture détaillée de Is Allofmp3 legal? je m’interroge encore. Est-ce legal en belgique ? N’hesitez pas a poster vos commentaires sur ce sujet.
