Positive Work Being Done in Second Life & Other Virtual Worlds

One of the efforts the Mentors group has been focused on these last few weeks has been on this project of collecting news and other interesting items that would reflect the kinds of positive work being done in Second Life and other virtual worlds settings. The idea has been to then share this perspective with the world at large in order to help balance out the general image presented by popular media, which tends more often to focus on Second Life and virtual worlds as places for purely recreational gaming or which tends to take a perspective that perhaps highlights more potentially sensationalistic pursuits, like virtual sex.

So as part of this effort by the Mentors group over the last several weeks, I've been gathering items I thought were especially interesting from this standpoint to share. As I collected and began to study the items that caught my attention, I realized they were falling into three general categories for me...

SL and Skype voice troubleshooting

Let's face it. We all know that SL's voice isn't totally stable, but there are a few things you can do to clear up a bad connection on the fly or make a dead mike work.

Dead mike - If your SL client is not recognizing your microphone (most common reason for a dead mike), go into (on viewer 2) ME - PREFERENCES - SOUND AND MEDIA TAB - INPUT DEVICES TAB then select your microphone. It should say something similar to (Microphone (Logitech Voicemaster USB) as one of the selections. Usually the selection labeled "default" is not the one you want. Only try it as a last resort.
