Lively - Welcome: Jul 13, 9:36am 22 reviews internet
http://www.lively.com/html/landing.html; So far I'm disappointed with lively, but hopefully that will change.
I see that Google had to pull the adult content that appeared and one of the best 'rooms' on Lively, that wasn't created in advance of the launch, was made by Pathfinder Linden, an employee of Linden Lab the creators of Second Life. However, on the positive side Lively is only 4 days old and still in Beta, so it should get better.

Watch this space for updates.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_engine; "On Mr. Babbage's new machine for calculating and printing mathematical and astronomical tables..."

On this day in 1822, Charles Babbage proposed the use of a difference engine in a paper to the Royal Astronomical Society.

Some 186 years later and a replica of one of Babbage's machines can be found in a Virtual World:

The Ladybird Book of The Policeman: Jun 2, 1:31pm 92 reviews humor
http://seorant.ath.cx/police/ladybird.html; Note how this satirical version is so much like the original which I scanned...

Many thanks though to Mrs Trellis, of North Wales, who pointed out this obvious blunder ... the date (1974) is 3 years after decimalisation, so the price tag of 2/6 is fake - shame.

...and here is the original.
