The past week’s lesson, and why I was so silent

Hello dear readers,

The reason I was so silent blog and SL-wise lately can be condensed down to a single reflexion:

In substance:
I am working on a sucessor of Artvi.

  4. I included some code that I do not have the right to use (Phoenix/Firestorm Parcel Windlight) due to the TPV Policy.
  5. “Artvi” sucks as a viewer

Apparently some really ugly stuff is going on with Arch right now…

So I moved to a 64-bit Fedora distribution.

There will not be some progress on Artvi for a while, since there’s a LOT of changes happening on Nirans Viewer. Linux …

Artvi, or Going solo in a Life of Art.

So apparently it needs explanations.

Me (Miguael Liamano/Tarnix) and Niranv Dean/Amethyst know each other since Kirstens Viewer’s S20. We both got turned down by KirstenLee Cinquetti in a rather childish and unprofessional way, Niran way more than I was.

Since KirstenLee had to stop working on Kirstens Viewer, Niran decided to make his own viewer, including his NiranV Mod for Kirstens Viewer in a viewer of it’s own.…
