Fixing the House Up
SLPN is going currently in a state of inbalance while we fix things up like broken RSS feeds, a new website template and a long awaited sidebar fix
Coming Soon, The Great SLPN Bash 2008
Something cool is coming around the corner. SLPN is in the midst of planning a series of events under the title of “The Great SLPN Bash 2008″. What is the 2008 Bash all about?
It is going to be a series of tournaments/challenges set over 4 weeks taking place in September/October. The schedule is yet to be completed but the plan as of writing is.
Week 1 - Boat Racing
Week 2 - Car Street Racing
Week 3 - Katana Tournament
Week 4 - Fishing Tournament
Nothing is finalized as of yet and additional events may take place like an Airship Race or Giant Snail Races.
If you are intrested in helping out or want to take part in the event, feel free to IM myself, Stuart Warf in Second Life

RezzedNecks in the Metaverse
A new show has now joined the SLPN Network as part of the SLPN In Your Face video series. It is called “RezzedNecks”. It is a video machinima series done by Radar Masukami and Itazura Radio featuring various guests.
Cooter and Forest Weezles are two rednecks who have been sentenced to community service in Second Life. They have to spend 3 hours every day confined to a trailer at Podcast Island.
Be sure to visit the trailer over at Podcast Island, but be careful, don’t get on their lawn…unless you like BudWoozer being thrown at you…
New Logo
OK, So the latest revision to the SLPN website is that there is a new logo. Why?
Well I felt that the old logo was getting a bit old and to be honest I never really liked it. So I had a creative impulse and went with it and here is the new logo. I prefer this one. But again its my opinion, What do you think?
New Sidebar + The Beat Chicks Podcast!
I have just redesigned the Sidebar layout for a cleaner look to the site.
Also, I’d like to welcome The Beat Chicks to the SLPN network. The Beat Chicks is a SL music scene podcast where Hope Clary and TheDiva Rockin interview your favourite SL Musicians and get some Live performances too. So, if you love Live Music, be sure to grab this into your MP3 player!
SLPN on the iPhone / iPod
Today I have put in a new plugin on the SLPN website which allows iPhone and iPod users to browse through the content of SLPN as well as search through it as well. If you are a wordpress user you may want to give the plugin a try, its called WPtouch.
It also plays well with the podPress plugin that we use to have the flash player and download the content. I think its a pretty cool plugin with some nice AJAX features. So if you have an iPhone or iPod visit http://slpodcast.net/ and add us to your home screen .
One More Thing…
We have now switched our SLPN videos from the place we were once hosting it to another service called Blip.TV . The reason we chose to move our video content from Libsyn to Blip is cost and also the service. Blip is dedicated to video and has a nice interface for people who just want to watch videos on the fly. It also allows our video to be automatically converted to an iPod format for those who want to watch the videos on their iPods or any MP4 player.
With the move and the restrictions of file size per month lifted we can now offer you more video content and so I am currently talking to machima people who might be intrested in showcasing their work on SLPN.

Lack of Live
About two months ago we announced that we was going to be doing live episodes of podcasts such as MetaNews Weekly and The Podmafia Podcast. However this has been halted and I would like to explain why.
The main reason for this is because my main machine’s motherboard bricked (that means totally died) a month ago. So this means that any live events that I need to be at will be on hold. However once my motherboard gets returned I shall be back online and ready to get live shows rolling once more.
REMINDER - MetaNews Weekly Tomorrow
Just a reminder to everyone. Tomorrow is the first ever live recording of MetaNews Weekly with Malburns Writer and Tara Yeats.
Just an FYI for you all. MetaNews Weekly is the rebranded version of S***** L*** Newscast
The recording will take place at Nowhereville (Click this SLurl) and will start at 9AM SLT (That is 5PM UK time)
Again…

Live Podcast Recordings
One thing that the Second Life virtual world is all about is the ability to hang out with people from all over the world and have fun. Other times there can be discussion. I have always wanted to have podcast recordings within the virtual world and (now I have figured it out) well…
Coming Soon to the SL Podcast Network will be Live Podcast Recordings!
What this means is that I am now setting up spaces on my plot at Nowhereville where audiences can gather and record shows.
One of these shows will be MetaNews Weekly. A weekly show discussing the metaverse with Mal Burns and Tara Yeats (and…me).
and this is not an April Fool’s Joke
Diamonds and Rust
A new podcast came on to the scene lately called Diamonds and Rust. The show is hosted by Second Life ™ residents Nika Dreamscape and Keeme Brown.
Take a listen to their show, its really entertaining in my opinion and perhaps you will enjoy it. If you take a look at the right sidebar and find the podcast. Go ahead and subscribe to it in your favourite podcatcher!
