Profile Greeter
Two years ago, gekkie Kidd got in touch with me to fix a “profile greeter” script that he got from a site somewhere (it’s long since gone). You know what that is… when a visitor comes near to a panel, all of a sudden, it displays their profile image for all to see. It’s supposed to be very popular on some clubs, or at least it was, back in 2009….
Your Second Life online status on a WordPress widget, take three [UPDATED AGAIN]
I’ve been postponing this literally for… years. On the very first weeks after I started blogging about Second Life, I wanted people to look at my blog and see if I was online in SL or not. It would be a very simple way to promote the cool way that Second Life allowed us to interact with external sites. Back then, we just had XML/RPC, and you had to email…
CR-Post2PingFM Plugin Tweaked for WordPress MU
Although this is not strictly related to Second Life itself, I need some place to put a tweaked version of Arief Bayu Purwanto’s CR Post2PingFM plugin, which required some tweaking to work well with WordPress MU. The problem has to do with setting and reading options properly in a multiblog environment. WordPress and WordPress MU handle this differently, thus the original, untweaked plugin didn’t work properly. Thanks to Marcus Cudd…
More social microblogging – with Ping.fm!
At last I figured out how to publish my application key for Ping.fm, and this means I can release my latest mashup in a long series of gateways between Second Life and the outside world. If you have followed my blog lately, you’ll remember my ranting about the tough task of keeping in touch with all those microblogging features, that have long left Twitter and Plurk, and completely dominate Facebook…
Updating your social websites status from inside Second Life
If, like myself, you have no time and patience to keep updating all your dozens of social websites — from Twitter to Plurk to Facebook to FriendFeed, to your status on MySpace, Plaxo, Friendster, LinkedIn, or whatever becomes big next — you have certainly faced the following problem: you’re in SL, there is something you positively wish to tell, but all your friends and acquaintances are all over those websites….
Innovation Week, Internationalisation, And More Utterly Useless Devices
Burning Life is around until October 5th. So many people have written about what it means for the Second Life® virtual world — the conception of a user-generated-content-virtual world comes allegedly from Philip’s totally fascinated experience with the real life “Burning Man” event — that I can only draw the attention to this true festival of pure creativity, which has been growing over the years, to a whopping 22 sims…
Monomania starts!
So you’ve heard that Mono has arrived on the Main Grid and are eager to test it out, just to see how well it runs your scripts? Well, right now, you have two options: either test them out on the Preview Grid first, or wait for Linden Lab to bring out the next version of the SL client, which should be released in a few weeks as a “beta version”,…
A Touching Event
My friend bucky Barkley just told me yesterday about an incredibly cool feature, that the ever-amazing Qarl Linden has been silently developing: getting the coordinates of the exact spot where you touch on a prim. Why is this so cool? Well, it allows you to do very complex interfaces with just a handful of prims (or one single prim), and naturally enough, you can imagine how important this is to…
Three Years Late… But HTML-On-A-Prim is Here!
First impressions on the newly released mega-feature in Second Life: HTML-On-A-Prim. Well, of course this is for me personally the cream on the top. I’ve just returned from several sessions of using SL as a classroom for university students. The last conversation I had with one of the students (doing a mastership) was about a complaint regarding the cost of uploading textures. Well, “spending” L$400-1000 or so for a class…
Simple Intra-Simulator Teleporting Tool
Also an exercise for my LSL scripting classes, this one is a simple llSetPos teleporting script. The final location is written as <X,Y,Z> on the object’s description.
Generic llSitTarget Positioning Script
Tired of taking ages to set script targets? Well, this one should make things easy for you: just put the vector for positioning and the rotation in angles, separated by commas, and the object will reset the SitTarget for you. Then just shout die on public chat, and the script will remove itself; SitTargets are an object property, and you don’t need to have a script inside the prim to…
Simple Device To Give The Whole Inventory
You’ve guessed it — this is also part of my list of exercises for the LSL training courses. This device gives all the inventory inside it in a folder, named as the object itself, and checks to avoid giving the script name instead. Dropping/removing further items inside the device will reset it to re-read the inventory again. list objectList; default { state_entry() { …
Simple slideshow projector
Another one from my series of LSL training courses. Touches to switch to the next texture; resets if textures are added or removed to the inventory.
