Dawsey Chatterbox, posting a comment on the page for my SL User Create WordPress plugin, asked for a simpler version of the code which would merely register an avatar name to a MySQL database. He has been patient, having been waiting for almost a year 🙂 Here goes the code […]

In late 2004, I’ve joined a few groups that did a lot of discussion events. Often people could not attend them, so transcripts were kept and posted on the Linden Lab forums. Reading a transcript ‘after-the-fact’ is not the same thing as participating in a discussion in real time. For […]
How to
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Burning Life is around until October 5th.

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
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 […]
