Linden Lab lists Genesis Viewer



*** Press Release ***

October 28, 2022

Back in May, we began work on a modern and up to date version of a 1.23 style viewer.  Our aim is to offer the user all of the latest tech you expect to find in an SL viewer, but with a lighter footprint and with laptop computers as a focus.

We are pleased to announce that Linden Lab, the creators of Second Life, have enrolled the Genesis Viewer into the Third Party Viewer Program, as displayed in their TPV directory.

Work will continue this weekend to get our primary official release onto our site and we very much hope that Genesis users will be able to come to our launch party on Saturday 5th November, in London City, which will be used to raise awareness of this new viewer.

Thank you to all our Beta Testers who have given such great, useful and informative feedback and for their faith in helping test this product ahead of it being listed.

It was important to us to get the infrastructure up to date, but upon 'official release', we will begin to concentrate on the many suggestions you have made for subsequent improvements.

From the Genesis Viewer website, you can download the viewer, read the release notes and change logs and also visit our YouTube channel to see Genesis in action.

Eurythmics on Saturday



Eurythmics is a British duo, Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart.

The band was formed in 1980 with little fanfare, but burst onto the scene with Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) in 1983 and went on to have many major chart topping hits including Here Comes the Rain again, There Must Be An Angel, Who's That Girl, Love Is A Stranger, When Tomorrow Comes, Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves, I Saved The World Today... and many many more.

The duo split ten years later in 1990 but have reunited a few times since then to release singles, their last being I've Got A Life in 2005

Enjoy the music of the Eurythmics this Saturday in London City with our tribute band.
The party starts at 12pm SL (8pm UK) with the show an hour later at 1pm SL.
