in which I attend a virtual science conference

I sill have some major issues with Second Life as a platform for much more than sitting around a virtual campfire.  Stability and scalability is one aspect, but also the display system is not designed to handle text well.  You can do "this is a red ball next to a green box" well, and "watch this QuickTime media" well, but not "read this complex text with diagrams".

So when I attended a virtual science conference in SL, I found it a bit of a frustrating experience.  I couldn't easily read the posters, it was awkward.

The conference is at Lupus (225, 125, 31).
