253: Happy 10th Birthday terraMOO

On September 9, 2001, a virtual environment called TerraMOO was first launched.

An intersting date given a couple of days later the WORLD changed forever. terraMOO is an Encore-based MOO, it has run continuously for the past 10 years, even though boys have constantly tried to break it – name another technology that can come close?

As a learning environment I believe it is unequaled, providing chat rooms, object-oriented programming, web publishing, online interactive assessment and smart objects there is nothing that comes close.

Yes, I have played and developed in 3d worlds, yes I understand their potential also, but a MOO is unique – long may she run.

This cow I have been saving, the folding was intense but the end cow-shape is most pleasing – lovely ears, horns and a serene facial expression, good body proportions and a lovely swishy tail.
