Quick snippet: over at SLA in Second Life a survey for librarians posing the timeless question:
“How do you balance real and virtual worlds?”
You don’t need a survey to know the answer: with difficulty.
(Scurries off to file notecards and sort inventory).
Or impossibility. The answer is that you start something, you start something else, you pay proper attention to RL, and then you cycle back around again.
That’s why stuff takes time in SL. It’s a world of both accelerated and elongated time schedules.
Wait… there’s more than one real world? I feel so under-subscribed!
