I received an email earlier from GOM (Gaming Open Market) to say that they were no longer going to be trading in L$ (Linden dollars, the currency of second life). This came as a suprise. I thought they had found an excellent niche market likely to grow rapidly in the near future.
We regret to announce that Gaming Open Market will be stopping all trading of L$ effective 10pm eastern time Sunday October 2nd. After that, the site will remain open long enough to allow everyone to withdraw their cash and L$ balances.
This choice has not been made lightly. However, we feel that closing the L$ market to concentrate on other projects is in the long-term best interests of GOM.
Thank you all for taking part in what was for us an interesting adventure.

My mate Flump sent me this link today. Pure camper porn… someone has put in some serious thought here. Wonder if it will ever see the light of day?

Today I have added Gallery to pilkster.com, and also wp-gallery Gallery plugin for Wordpress by Geoff Hutchinson. Still in the experimentation phase, but I have added two galleries already, Caro’s 30th and also some pics of bumble emerging from the chicken shed at Bob Lucas’ gaff.

Anything that Allan Gardyne does tends to be high quality and his business models are ethical and long-term, so today I finally downloaded his free keyword research tool report. There is also a blog at the site maintained by the report’s author, Jay Stockwell. Incidentally, Jay and Allan have chosen Wordpress as their authoring tool, with mod_rewrite implemented. Great minds think alike.
Due to pressing personal commitments (ie Slim cooking my tea… yum) I haven’t time to flick through it just yet, but I am sure it will make a good read.
