f you want to make really perfect clothes, you need the right UVs. Until now those haven't been available. Linden Labs provides meshes (in OBJ format), but those meshes only provide the female UV coordinates. This can cause unexpected results if you try to bake textures to the male avatar mesh. To solve this problem we extracted the actual meshes from the Second Life® client so it would be possible to paint clothing with the correct UV coordinates. We have provided these meshes on this site as[..]

In building our OpenSim estate on Reaction Grid, I needed a virtual laptop for a few of the activities there. As a government owned agency, Education.au needs to model good digital citizenship - so photographing one of my own laptops was out of the question due to issues of Intellectual Property.

Hi Kerry, I attended your workshop at Macquaire Uni but haven't received the certificate of attendance. Just wondered if I could check up on this as I'd like to add it my Cert IV upgrade evidence. Many thanks, Rebecca.

Hi Kerry Good tips you got there & good call to help new ppl to the kind beast of Moodle. Best I can do for newbie Moodlers in these first few crazy weeks back at school after holidays is point them to 2 Minute Moodles - the tutorials for newbies and not necessary tech savvy at http://human.edublogs.org/moodle-tutorials-2-minute-moodles/ I'll be adding a few more soon (yeah, been saying that for a few months now ;-) I've also got a couple of handy clips about what Moodle actually is (using an analogy with Lego) http://www.teachertube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=7035b85c0a9667c1cac0 and how we have used it at our school http://human.edublogs.org/2008/08/06/how-can-moodle-change-a-school These have kinda been Moodle crowd pleasers and they seem to do the trick for people new to Moodle. If you need a hand with Moodle stuff when in Perth for EDNA workshops please feel free to tweet or call. Cheers, Tomaz

Hey Kerry (just left this comment on my whieboard lol) ... I'm tired as expected this time of this term. Have just read the feedback from the keynote in Sydney that Martin Pluss and AIS invited me to do - see comment my page. Upon reading it my responses varied from "Wow! are you talking about me?" to "That's great, I was hoping to convey that message" to "OUCH!!!". So varied .. it's hard to know how to react. Feedback on the day was also very good. I used to be a more polished presenter .. perhaps I'm on my way back .. but not quite there yet lol. It was however quite a hard gig .. never really knew what was expected. I have a bit better idea for this Friday's eDayz at TAFE (Gilles Plains) ... Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Al
