Aha! After a bit of research via encyclopedia Google, I downloaded the beta version of the viewer, and I’m in.
[Caveat: may have had a glass of wine]
Gave up trying to think of an imaginative username that hadn’t already been taken. Eventually settled on ‘Annonny’.
On accessing the site, was faced with the following somewhat disconcerting message:
Luckily my clothes downloaded fairly quickly.
First dilemma: how on earth do you move around? I’m just standing in the middle of the street here.
OK, just narrowly missed being run over by a bus.
Figured out how to walk, with the help of the ‘How to’ facility.
Incidentally haven’t yet met anybody else.
Just got a message saying “You have been logged out of Second Life”.
Logged back in, and teleported to the OU’s ‘Deep Think’ island. It’s lovely. There’s sea and everything.
There’s absolutely no one else here though.
Incidentally my avatar is much slimmer than I am. Perhaps I should make her more authentic by adding a couple of stone?
