Reader Submitted: How to Broadcast from Anything

Almost a year ago, Tantari Kim, also known as DJ Tantari, sent in a reader submission, "How To DJ The DJ Tantari Way." In the article, she used MIXXX software for her DJing. But what about other software? There are some free commercial ones, notably the free version of Virtual DJ and Traktor and Serato, but they aren't made for playing to Shoutcast. In a reader submission she recently sent in, she describes how to enable them so that they can.

Second Life Veteran’s Tribute

Coming up soon is the 2010 SL Veteran’s Tribute which will be held from Sunday, November 7th to Saturday, November 13th. This is the 4th annual Veteran’s Tribute that we have put together.

We are looking for Guides to help guests, monitor for inappropriate activities and behavior as well as to answer questions regarding the event. The Guides help on a volunteer basis only and there is no pay for any person that partipates in the Veteran's Tribute. Guides will receive a free uniform to wear when participating at the events. Guides will also receive "training" that last approximately one hour.

The Tribute itself is non-political and serves one purpose and one purpose only and that is to honor all the men and women that have given willing of their time to protect the lives we enjoy today.

The goal of the Tribute is to provide a non-political, content filled, educational, interactive SIM inside Second Life where men and women of all walks of life can visit and provide remembrance and honor to those who have served or currently are serving in the Armed Services.

The tribute operates on a zero dollar budget and are non-profit; the entire tribute is built, funded, organized and executed on a purely volunteer basis. We have an organized group on SL called the “SL Veteran’s Tribute” if you would like to look it up. This group will be used as the basis of our planning and scheduling for the Tribute.

The SL Veteran’s Tribute also collect donations for Operation Uplink (http://www.operationuplink.org/) which provides pre-paid phone cards for military personnel stationed overseas.

Greeters and Guides for Burn2

Time is passing so quickly. The playa is alive with builders working on their wonders. The entertainment planning goes on so that there will be music and fun for all the visitors. Brigit Ranger , the Community Lead for Burn2 has put out a call for Greeters and Guides. She says, “My hope is to find people who are looking for fun, like to meet new people, and who know the meaning of patience and perseverance. “

It is great fun to be a greeter. I have watched as they weave their magic like trapeze artists at the gate to the playa . Their friendliness and help to new arrivals makes for a happy start to your exploration. A volunteer need only dedicate 6-8 hours for that week , October 16 through 25, on the Burn2 playa. You will probably want to spend more time.

You can contact Brigit by sending her a note card or you can e-mail her at Brigitranger@gmail.com . You will receive training to prepare you for the fun.
