Flat Ebbe Linden: The Age of Enlightenment
Bloggers' Corner
Land prices are certainly an issue. My own community has lost members to Inworldz, a less satisfying platform from an aesthetic perspective (I did some exploration there a few months ago to find out) but much more affordable.
I think this is an issue of particular importance when a community is trying to maintain a reasonable amount of land, water - and in the case of SF sims, vacuum - for common and public use. There is a limit to the number of investors who are both willing and able to pay for the pleasure of others as well as their own, and some mechanism should be available to ease the burden of payment on those who are willing to support the community's pleasure.
We have seen some discussion in this forum about educational subsidies. However, not all sims that are doing meaningful historical work have educational organizations as sponsors. I believe there should be some form of financial relief for communities that recreate the scenes of history and provide access to historical learning in the way that a museum or library would, as long as they are willing to give the respectful public access to the venues. To go along with this, of course, we would need an "educational interest" tab on the places search and the ability to enter our educational venues into the database from which it draws. The same principle should be applied to sim communities that are creating in other areas of educational interest, of course.
On another theme of education: I was drawn initially to SL because my university's distance learning unit was considering it as a platform for group discussions within distance courses. We ended up dropping the idea rather quickly when SL updated itself past the capacity of the graphics in our lab computers, and indeed, the iMAC in my office can barely handle it now. I think that SL would be a more popular educational platform if capacity was less of an issue. I understand that the new "cloud" system may help with this issue, but institutions that tried and dismissed SL three or four years ago will need to be informed and we all should be provided with inservice on using SL successfully as an educational tool without disadvantaging students whose personal computers may not be very good by current standards.

Nicole...what wonderful colour she has. And Monique's cap is delightful - very true to portraits of Henry VIII's time.

English and Spanish royals for the period 1700 to 1820 have now been framed, and I shall be working on French ones this evening. I hope to have the collection ready for the sales room by the weekend. There will be a choice of three frames for each portrait.

And I found the bed I needed! And its colours suit the room.

And I have a bed that needs replacing in my Mont Saint Bruno villa. I have been making do with a "mission" style that just does not suit the period or continent, because I could find nothing low-prim enough within both period and budget when I was furnishing. Playing with its textures helped, but did not do enough.

Oh, dear, I had better hurry and finish those portraits of 18th century royalty, with choice of frame...

We would certainly be interested in showcasing something of this nature in Antiquity, where we are in the process of formalizing re-establishment of the Regency court of the United Kingdom. An exhibit on the House of Stuart would be a perfect complement to our historical framework, and by May we will have several venues that would be suitable (possibly including Buckingham House which is entering its final stage of recreation now.) Please IM me inworld if you're interested.
