Project Sansar

I finally found the time to try out the Project Sansar "virtual world"/"social virtual reality"  - the latest offering from the operators of Second Life. I was disappointed and can't say it scratches any particular itch I have in the VW/SVR space. You can read my full write-up on the Daden blog.

The one high point though was a really nice Apollo 11 virtual museum with a huge 3D model of the timeline and earth-moon trajectory - complete with mini-models of the LEM/CM/SM.

Battle of Lansdown - 5 Jul 1643 - Battlefield Walk

Panorama centred on East just behind the ridge

A nice day trip to Lansdown Hill to meet up with some guys from the Battlefields Trust to discuss a possible future work project and a prototype we're building based on the Battle of Lansdown,

Looking down off  the ridge from Slaughter Hill, west end of the ridge

Lovely early summer weather, and really nice when work and military history/wargaming collide. Must make sure I do Lansdown as part of my ECW battle sequence next year (doing 1642 this year). Only about 5-6000 a side.
