How to build a voice lab with GNS3 and VMWare

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 02:11:52 -0700

Is it possible to build a voice lab without actual hardware? The answer is yes and no. You can build a very good lab using GNS3 and VMWare but it is not possible to build a complete lab. The underlying emulation engine for GNS3 (dynamips) does not support digital signal processors (dsps) or voice cards. Over [...]

Philip Rosedale Doesn’t See Browser-Based Virtual Worlds As A Threat to Second Life. Is He In Denial?

Thu, 31 Jul 2008 16:04:10 -0700

Recently, there’s been a growing wave of startups and products appearing that are bringing 3-D virtual worlds to the browser. These include Vivaty, Google’s Lively project, and the Electric Sheep Co.’s WebFlock. And I’ve seen a few stealth companies working the same vein.

None of these are as fully featured or immersive as Second Life, which requires a separate desktop client download. But it may not matter because a good-enough experience available via standard browsers may eventually qwn Second Life. Linden Lab, which operates Second Life, is working with IBM and others to make virtual worlds interoperable with each other. Still, for the most part, they don’t play nicely with the Web.

Last week I caught Linden Lab founder Philip Rosedale on video at Fortune’s Brainstorm conference in Half Moon Bay, and asked him if Second Life is threatened by browser-based virtual worlds. In the video above, he argues that the browser is not yet ready to deliver the type of experience that you can get in Second Life. He does acknowledge that virtual worlds need to be opened up and standardized. But he doesn’t see the browser as a viable alternative to client-based virtual worlds any time soon.

Is he right, or is he in denial?

FEL: updates on the 'toped 0.9.0' startup crash

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 02:45:47 -0700

If you get the following with toped 0.9.0

Toped can't obtain required GLX Visual. Check your video driver/setup please

This is because a graphic card driver is not installed.
Mine is :
.Section "Device"
. .Identifier "Videocard0"
. .Driver "radeon"
.EndSection

That's the Xorg driver. It doesn't seem to maintain accumulation buffers and upstream needs them for the interactive graphics. On fedora 8, there should be no problem.

Upstream is trying to get to Xorg people about this, since weeks. This is the trouble from the very beginning (with f9). I didn't have a protection. That's another long story, but wx guys did something already, however it is not in their latest release. Whatever - the protection is now there, but it is not making the toped running for f9. On f9, there is no ATi or nVidia driver because of the state of Xorg and Mesa. We is trying to find a workaround because as it seems it will be quite some time until f9 gets vendor drivers.

The root problem appears when you run toped using GPL drivers - non vendor drivers. There is no protection and the program is giving segmentation fault. We have now patched toped 0.9.0. So if you run patched version (even on f8) without ATI or nVidia driver - it will not crash. Thus I'll recommend you to update your 'toped' package coming with the updates very soon.

FEL: its own mailing list

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 01:48:48 -0700

Since the last few months, we are recruiting new contributors for Fedora Electronic Lab. The need for a mailing list has become a necessity.

However, we are not in the same timezone and it is difficult for me to breakdown different tasks and assigning these tasks to these new contributors (also I'm teaching them the Fedora way and rpm packaging).

This Mailing list will also serve as a common ground to gather upstream developers (for FEL), in the long run. Thus with upstream developers, we can work together to ensure more interoperability with different applications and ultimately ensuring different design flows with at least the well known hardware description languages (such as VHDL and Verilog)

The electronic world is quite vast, and not everyone is a specialist in all areas. I'm a micro-nano-electronics guy, thus for now we have mostly applications for microelectronics in FEL. Our new recruits are embedded specialists. Thus we need to discuss and decide a roadmap for applications which will be included into FEL.

Here is a special mailing list for Fedora Electronic Lab : https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-electronic-lab-list.

IBM And Second Life Announce Interoperability, But Bridging Virtual Worlds Is the Wrong Answer

Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:48:46 -0700

Virtual worlds like Second Life have a silo issue—they are virtual worlds unto themselves. Today, Linden Lab (which operates Second Life) and IBM announced that they have successfully bridged two virtual worlds, with avatars from Second Life successfully “teleporting” to an entirely different metaverse based on an OpenSim server.

The two companies have been working together on the Open Grid Protocol to allow for interoperability between virtual worlds. In a post on the Second Life blog, Hamilton Linden explains:

An open standard for interoperability based on the Open Grid Protocol would allow users to cross freely from one world to another, just as they can go from one Web site to another on the Internet today.

Here’s a video showing the avatars “teleporting” from one world (i.e. set of computer servers) to another:

Interoperability between virtual worlds is fine, and is definitely a step towards breaking down the walled gardens they are increasingly finding themselves in. But ultimately it is the wrong answer. What we really need is interoperability between virtual worlds and the Web.

Otherwise, virtual worlds will remain isolated in their alternate universe. If you can’t link to it from the regular Web (and vice versa), it doesn’t exist. That is why virtual 3D worlds are going to come to the browser. One startup, Vivaty (which launched in public beta earlier today), is already creating these browser-based virtual environments, where each place and object is a regular URL.

These still pale in comparison to what you can do in Second Life, but they will get better. And being connected to the rest of the Web will ensure that they never have any interoperability issues. The Web will just become more 3D over time. Will Second Life join the Web, or will its legacy architecture (built when there was no other choice) prevent it from doing so?
