I just spent whole evening building a new avatar look. Clothing looks like the most problematic part for me, but hey, it is no different in real life… Now it is possible to export the new avatar into a gif animation. For free at Evolver! Here’s a sample what I got out of it:
Follow the white rabbit... click me!

This is already an old package from Torley, but still very much valid. Contains over 600 awesome textures – and the best thing here is that you are free to use them on your commercial products. Torley wishes you don’t sell them to anyone as is. Here’s the original blog entry link.

rexxed.com offers a free service to play your MP3 files which are located somewhere on the web. Any web browser should be able to play them and you can embed the player to your web pages or blog entries.
The player is located at http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf
And it can be used to play playlist files. For example http://www.rexxed.com/services/musicplayer/xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=metal.xspf&autoplay=true&repeat_playlist=true
Where parameters are:
playlist_url = web address to the playlist, can be for example http://yourserver.com/music/mybest.xspf
autoplay = true or false, says whether the music starts to play automatically or if it waits for the user to press play
repeat_playlist = true or false
xspf file format is really simple, take a look at how the files can be written. Here is the full documentation of the music player. Here is the article at Maxping, where you can find out how to play music with this service at your realXtend virtual world.

This is a terrain set of the Maledives, Ziyaarafushi island (the resort is called Summer Island Village). It is made of 3 regions (oar files included), 4 unique terrain textures and some panorama walls (if you like that kind of stuff). Photos, google earth landmark etc are included. Take a look at Ralf’s post from Maledives at Maxping. (his trip emptied Maxping’s expenses jar so we’re not going to get biscuits for the next 324 years).
