What is SL4 Portal?

SL4 Portal is my personal blog. I am Tux Winkler, an avatar in Second Life. I am for the most part a friendly and helpful person. I use this blog to sound off about anything really.

Feel free to comment, I have set this to open. So no need to register! At the moment the majority of visitors comment via email, try clicking the blog title and leaving a comment - its easy peasy!

Since the release of the wiki, my hosting of it, and the failed DMCA.  There has been a lot of speculation as to who I am, etc etc.  So thanks for the emails, IM’s, PM’s, Notecards and passing voice comments.  Here is the most complete list of what I am not:

  • A Linden (that would make me Tux Linden, right?)
  • A Griefer (they are usually only a few days old)
  • A Nazi (I don’t think SL was around during WWII)
  • A JLU Member (it is not a ploy to raise awareness)
  • A Communist (idk much about politics, really)
  • A Policeman (my knowledge of the law is through my solicitor)
  • An Eccentric Millionaire (If I was would I be playing this?)
  • An FBI spy (We don’t have FBI in my country, and do they spy?)
  • An ALT of one of the griefer leaders (nope, Tux is a main account)
  • A Reporter (just look at my typos and the way I speak, lol)
  • A Psychologist (I assure I am not – XD)
  • A Keyboard Warrior (not so, I defended the DMCA claim in RL)
  • A Member of a new Linden investigation team (XD)
  • A Religious Nut (Although I have spoken about religion, I do try to keep it to myself)
  • A Hacker (LOL)
  • ‘Thats the one who attacked the JLU and hacked their server, they say he is one of the best in Russia!’ (OMFG, this was on voice, I saw the cams on me and moved my cam to them, I could not believe this – XD)

So thanks  for these (I have probably missed some) but they are entertaining all the same!

Peace and Love!

It is late and I am tired, so I will make this quick – XD.

The following is the latest crazy searches which send people to my blog:

  • “Tux Winkler” griefer
  • Is Tux Winkler a linden or griefer
  • Tux Winkler PN
  • SL4 Portal Griefers
  • Copybot Tux Winkler
  • Tux Content Theft
  • tux winkler real life info
  • where does tux winkler  live
  • griefing scripts tux winkler
  • disturbed linden
  • linux hack script tux winkler
  • sl4 portal running linux  on windows vista

As you can see, someone really wants to  know about me – Awwwww.

But by far the funniest for me is the last one.  Someone really doesn’t grasp linux (and I know there are some distros that will install alongside windows, but I choose to ignore them).  For me Linux is a replacement for windows!  Anyways I am off to bed, got snow to play in in the morning!

So the latest attempt to stop production of GRPS has shown its ugly head.  Last night a DOS (Denial Of  Service) was launched against one of my servers.  No major headache, a few simple changes has prevented damage and the website users will have only noticed a brief slow down.

To the person who instigated this:  Remember griefer, you only get what you can afford and sitting in your little wooden house in some backwards slum in North Carolina, I am guessing your funds are quite low.

There is a couple of things that have stopped working, but those affected have been notified and will have services restored as soon as possible.

As soon as I get to it, I will have everything setup on the DISTURBED sim and send out links as required.

Finally do not forget I have a 1000L$ prize to give away for the funniest conversation with ‘Disturbed Warden’ my receptionist bot!

    It appears that Linden Lab’s sheer incompetence has come to (another) head.
