Happy 2014!

avatar

Happy New Year! Wow. Been quite a while since I updated this blog. I almost didn’t want to renew the .com for another year since the prices seem to slowly inch up every year. I miss the old days when 3 years were 20 bucks because having your own url was all the rage. Now […]

Tinkering in AW

avatar

Sometimes if I get a bit too blocked when writing, I just head into ActiveWorlds and tinker around in AlphaWorld. Nothing in specific. I just play with random objects and stuff just unfolds. This is what I built last night and most of this morning. It’s a marketplace with eight stalls. Probably won’t do much […]

Frustrations with Activeworlds

avatar

I’m not sure what’s going on in Active Worlds anymore. I have kept my mouth shut because some people fear that negativity will ruin what’s left of AW. The place is a ghost town but when you get used to how few people there are, it gets even worse when fewer people come around. I […]

2011 AW Community Photograph

avatar

An interesting late afternoon with a lot of people gathering in ActiveWorlds AWGate for a community photograph. I’m afraid my personal screenshots weren’t very good but I just took ’em for fun. Took this at 4pm. Gaia and Riff were there too. Took this at 5pm. Pretty weird to see a lot of faces in […]

AWTours

I’ve been helping out at AWTours. It’s a world in ActiveWorlds with the goal of giving tours to some fantastic places in various worlds. My job was to copy over a bunch of teleports and start converting them to another object type. It’s repetitive and mind-numbing, of course. hehe.  Once the thumbnails are all put […]

Dragon in AW

Pinch! Punch! First of the month! No returns! 😉   I wasn’t planning on posting this since it seems to lack any details to make it really stand out but I kept tinkering with it anyhow… A baby dragon! Earlier versions: image 1, image 2

Giant Gnomes

Sometimes you just have to stop what you’re doing and get a bit silly to try to get some creative juices going…

Third place in Holiday Village Contest

avatar

Wow, Imagine my surprise when I logged into ActiveWorlds and found a few telegrams of people congratulating me. The results of the Holiday Village was revealed! I raised a brow and said, “Surely there must be some mistake!” This is the first time I ever placed in the top three of a contest held in […]

Exploring Dragon World

avatar

I got bored late last night and decided to venture into the free little world that was given to those who registered a year of cit during the Activeworlds sale.  I didn’t see ‘Dragon’ listed so I was like… “Try ‘Dragon’. If the world name isn’t taken, hooray!” and it turns out it wasn’t. The […]

What is AW? – Extreme Builder Talent Show 4

avatar

What is ActiveWorlds? I was asked to explain what ActiveWorlds is. I normally blog about AW at my very old tripod site (Blog) but I guess I can start blogging about it here! It’s a universe where you can build to your heart’s content. Tourists can build for free but anyone can delete your builds. […]
