Happy Easter 2018

Let us celebrate that Our Lord and Saviour has arisen...

Yeah and let's keep in mind that this is April 1^st too, I most certainly did not go religious on you overnight.

I'm Evil Too!

Just like dear, sweet, Myra Hindley in this iconic photo, I sometimes like to be evil.

Dear Myra showed her evilness by carrying out the five Moors Murders (July 1963 - October 1965) with her partner in crime Ian Brady.

I myself do it by writing posts on April Fools Day (yesterday) to try and trick you into believing a rather fantastic claim I made, which is of course a misuse of my credibility.

Sorry, but I am not at all sorry if I managed to trick you into believing it.

Remember to always beware on April Fools, we are all out to fool you.

Actual Reality by Google

"What realer than real?", Google asked on April Fools Day as they presented their Google Cardboard Plastic, the first headset to experience actual reality with.

Mergers & Acquisitions (Updated)

"Linden Lab, the makers of SecondLife, announced today that it is in discussions with High Fidelity over merging the two companies and thus consolidating in anticipation of a future collaboration with or takeover bid from Facebook", the Financial Times reports, citing sources.

As Philip Rosedale, a.k.a. "our creator", Philip Linden or "my beloved Philip", has a major interest in both companies it is assumed that the discussions will go smoothly and a deal will be made before the end of the week.

According to the article  it is probable that Philip Rosedale will become the Chairman of the Board of the new company, while Ebbe Altman, a.k.a. Ebbe Linden, will remain as CEO.

Read the full article Financial Times: Linden Lab & High Fidelity to merge?.

More updates on this will be posted here, as soon as I learn more.

UPDATE April 2, 2014
This entire post is of course a fabrication, it was my attempt at trying to fool you on April Fools Day.

Well, We Had A Good Run

Yesterday was of course April Fools Day. I and my wife-for-a-day the lovely Iendi Laville had a very busy day the day before preparing our joint prank. Now we were waiting and chatting in IM for the time when both our blog posts were going to be published simultaneously at 2 AM SLT.

We had decided on doing this little hoax on Friday evening and had been very busy during parts of the Saturday with the preparation and implementation of our small project. Everything came together very nicely. We worked well together and had loads of fun while doing it.

By pure lack it turned out that the colors of the flowers in Iendi´s bouquet matched perfectly with the tuxedo vest I was wearing. We created a short queue at the Chapel of Dreams, with me crashing twice and leaving the poor woman standing alone at the altar and with sharing the longest kiss ever recorded in Christendom because the animation refused to show up on my screen. Anyway finally we had all the great pictures we needed to illustrate the prank and went to write up our stories.

We shared the pictures and the outlines of our respective posts with each other via e-mail. Iendi was so sweet as not to point out that I, through some Freudian slip, had forgotten to include the most important picture in my post, the wedding kiss itself. A few hours after the post had been published I was reminded of it by a comment on the post by my friend Diana.

All in all, I must summarize my day of being married with a woman as great fun. Iendi was a wonderful collaborator even if she jokingly pestered me with - unfulfilled I hasten to add - requests for sex so she could report her successful mission in converting me to "the straight and narrow path" to her sisters and her friends.
