Use their own tools to make a statement...

OK, I said HTML on a Prim was put to bed, and to a degree that's true. The script that I'm open sourcing is here on this blog and is open for you to use as you see fit as long as you don't take away the credit from me or sell it for yourself.

However having done that I made an improvement for those of us who aren't scripters. Many thanks to a scripter friend who I don't want flooded with project requests so I'm not giving her name but she's amazing and special and deserves major down time for the crap I give her. Together we came up with a website viewer that will click through to every site listed on the notecard in the viewer. It's a simple and effective way of showing all the blogs that you like to see. You can get it in world at my store here.

It'll cost you 1L. That's 1/3rd of a penny in real money. Why am I selling it so low? Because I want it all over SL. I want you to put your favorite Second Life sites in it and show the grid how much we help promote and sustain the metaverse world we all love, love to hate, and can't stay away from. Let's use the tools LL has given us to show them just how misguided this new trademark policy could be. We now have less then 90 days before many of our favorite sites go dark due to percieved or actual policy changes. You can read about it at NWN, or Gwyn's blog (I so wish I could write like she did, she writes what I think sometimes.) Or imagine losing SLExchange or OnRez.... this is technically possible. I've written before that I don't think they will take it this far, but they could and it's wise to show them how much it could change.

I'm not good at making funny ear-rings, or tshirts, sometimes logos are my thing. This is my stand right here... my chance to give us tools to protest in a productive, quietly insistent way. I hope you help do this with those of us who think it's nessecary. And if not, it's a damn cool little toy that I hope you enjoy.
