<p>I know Doc Boffin for eons, I think I've even given him some combat anims ages ago, when I helped to test a very early version of the Combat Cards game... and he has a plot not far from my home in SL... I was there a couple of days ago, not having read this article, and thinking: "it's so great that some oldtimers are still around and doing great things and still haven't given up on SL"</p>
<p>I'm laughing and in tears now! Babbage/Doc, you certainly kept your secret well. :)</p>

(Andrew Linden was also up there.) Babbage was rock solid, extremely dependable, and could get stuff done. It's a shame that Linden had to lose him. (Of course, it's a shame they had to lose a lot of the people they lost.)</p>

I ignored that discouragement, and was always openly Prospero Frobozz and/or Prospero Linden, and was just as happy that I was open about it.</p>
<p>I know some Lindens who keep their alts separate to avoid complications, pleas for special favor, accusations of favoritism, etc. If you're doing any sort of business in-world, it probably is to your advantage not to be known as somebody who works for Linden Lab.</p>
<p>(I never did much in the way of business in-world. I made all the stuff in my gadget shop freebies when I was hired by the Lab, and most of what I've done in-world has been in the form of theater and educational outreach talks.)</p>Adeon Writer commented on 'Unhidden Lindens: After Leaving the Lab, Jim Purbrick Outs Himself as Combat Cards Co-Creator Doc Boffin!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133f558083a970b2010-10-26T02:52:58Z2010-10-26T02:52:58ZAdeon WriterYeah, you can't really go around saying the Lindens don't spend much time in-world when they aren't allowed to (or...<p>Yeah, you can't really go around saying the Lindens don't spend much time in-world when they aren't allowed to (or wouldn't want to, not sure what the case is) talk about their alts!</p>Little Lost Linden commented on 'Unhidden Lindens: After Leaving the Lab, Jim Purbrick Outs Himself as Combat Cards Co-Creator Doc Boffin!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133f557bee9970b2010-10-26T01:55:12Z2010-10-26T01:55:12ZLittle Lost Lindenhttp://profile.typepad.com/thebotzoneHe can try to hide it with alts, but either way, in RL, he still looks like Bill Paxton.<p><br />

There is a lot of negative comments about how many Lindens seem not to get inworld at all and, without seeing and experiencing it themselves, are unable to develop a fully understanding of what SL is actually about.</p>
<p>I am not sure in hos much this is true or not since .. well .. secret alts ftw!</p>
<p>^_^</p>
<p>I hope more of them are enjoying SL secretly like he did.</p>HBA commented on 'Unhidden Lindens: After Leaving the Lab, Jim Purbrick Outs Himself as Combat Cards Co-Creator Doc Boffin!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0133f5562580970b2010-10-25T19:54:17Z2010-10-25T19:54:17ZHBAhttp://headburroantfarm.wordpress.com/So I *did* know a Linden after all!<p>So I *did* know a Linden after all!</p>
