I’ve got this switched over to adamfrisby.com now - the previous domain will still work of course, but this was the intended URL from the start (just had some minor fun getting that all transfered and setup).

If you have any links or whatever going to the previous URL they will still work and be redirected to the appropriate site on the new domain without issue.

I have added a password to a post listed earlier on this blog. As stated within that post, I do not enjoy writing negatively about people, products, groups, etc - and getting into arguments on the interwebs wins you nothing, but is great at wasting time.

In this post I made certain specific claims about a group and their public behaviour, that group has agreed to me to be more careful about what claims they make publically and improve general behaviour, and in doing so I have agreed to withdraw that post from the public domain. A password is now required to view the post and attached discussion - if you have a legitimate reason to want to read that discussion, my contact details are on this site.

While I still hold that the substantial portion of the original claims are reasonably correct - these claims are between myself (and certain specific developers) and the group, and a degree of confusion about the topic at hand has lead to an agreement that despite being cliched, there was a good deal of misunderstanding involved, one that if it is to be posted at all now, it should be posted in a terse clarified form which I will post if there is ever a need.

I love you Joshua, and I could not be happier. Of course I will marry you.

This is just a very quick shout-out to the guys over at Microsoft - in particular Zain Naboulsi, their Virtual Worlds evangalist, for introducing me to David and Gerhard, the Project Manager and Lead Programmer respectively on the WPF Graphics Team, who have graciously offered me their time to help answer some performance related questions with regards to the Xenki viewer I have been developing.

My absolute thanks - it’s great to have such esteemed assistance on-hand, and I will be sure to be contacting you guys with all sorts of hairy questions about things I shouldnt be doing but am. *grin*

In which I extend my congradulations to Justin Clark-Casey in getting hired to work on OpenSim, I presume fulltime. He’s done a lot of great work already and I expect to see interesting things in the future from him and the FRI.

OK, so saying I’d put this site back online by December 2003 was a little optimisitic I admit. Admittedly I have been sidetracked in the time since, ending up with several jobs simultaneously that keep me somewhat busy.

The reason I’m setting this up is mostly so I can post thoughts, arguments and comments on things - mostly around the OpenSim project at the moment. I know I do have an account on the opensim wordpress site, but splitting this off distances me from any official opinions the group has, and gives me freedom to post my exact thoughts on things.
