YPOPS!

Another problem with Yahoo Pops, it was caused by yahoo this time sine it changed your default outlook of your email to its new and improved skin and a little bug which cause yahoo to think that all emails in the account is unread so using YPOPS to download your emails to your email client program such as thunderbird makes your program full of old emails, as many as 2000 emails was intended to be once I need to check my email.

Just go to your yahoo email client and change the new skin to your classic one, or if you want to keep the new skin and use YPOPS, just make all your previously read email marked as read, unlike the previous version of yahoo checking select all, it actually selects all emails in the mail folder and you simply can mark them as read or unread.

How to help others by taking pictures ?

Schamp is a website dedicated to provide world wide tours virtually, and you can watch its tours at www.schamp.com and I'm proud one of my images taken from Simon Fraser university has been elected for the virtual map of Vancouver, you can see the image here Simonf Fraser University
The script below is a virtual tour you can enjoy online too.

There are surely more artistic and more precise images from SFU, but the reason that my image was selected was that it had Creative Commence License which allows other people to use images while not making money out of that, so it is a good idea if you are using flickr to go to your account and make your pictures CC licensed to be used by others and circulate more widely in the internet.

Second Life, so what ?

Yesterday we had a visitor that his impression was that he was among the first people that perform virtually in a chat room with his instruments and he was talking about second life and what they did in that, they performed a concert in Second life, made a film and played games, became a celebrity there and paid (yes, actually he was charged) for bodyguards in virtuall world.
Everyone was astonished and so enthusiatic about where the technology is going, but at the end there was still a question not answered in my min, doing these thing in virtual world for what ?
