For those of you out there who wander the world of Second Life, please note that if you use the Emerald Third Party Viewer that Linden Labs will start blocking of it tomorrow at 1000. The Emerald team had some bad code that that wasn't corrected /couldn't be corrected within LL's time frame. Now it *was* a pretty nasty bit of bad code - security issues abounded. But Emerald also had some cool features: more attachment points, etc.
But for those of us who absolutely abhor LL's newest viewer, don't lose hope. Here's the approved LL list of Third Party Viewers. A TPV is one that uses the open source code that LL provides and makes it stronger... better ... faster. So to speak.
I've been using Imprudence myself for well over the last year, but I've started playing around with Phoenix and am falling in love with it. it's everything Emerald was without all the nasty security bugs. I'll probably bounce back and forth for a while and see which one I prefer.
