SL4B email now closed

Now that we’re starting to increase our efforts regarding SL5B, the old email address published in various sources as a means of contacting me regarding SL4B is now closed, so if you need to contact me regarding SL4B you’ll have to use other channels of communication.

Postponing updates to generated images

Over the weekend I discovered that the Linden Lab webmap API is giving out rather odd results- it’s showing the same region existing in a couple hundred different places at once, which is of course a technical impossibility. Because of this, the Linden Lab webmap API can be considered unreliable and unfortunately since I’m using [...]

Following the progress of the exhaustive search

To give people a better idea of how long the exhaustive grid search query takes, I’ve set up a twitter feed for MN:SL and added the feed as an RSS Widget on this blog. I’m hoping this will illustrate why Linden Lab need to beef up their WebMap API (or hire me to fix it [...]

PHP5 Certification – practice exam progress

Since the grid search query is going to take a while to complete and most of my projects are either being held up by the query or something else (if there’s a project I’ve forgotten about, please remind me!), I thought I’d use up one of my PHP5 Certification practice exam credits. The Results Things [...]

Afterwards, I generated and posted several images of the Agni grid. In an effort to improve the data provided by my [...]

in-world map borkage

Matthew Linden reported that the in-world map was functioning incorrectly- I had noticed that some regions are showing up in the wrong place on LL’s webmap API, and subsequently my own. I’m hoping that my recent hammering of the map data hasn’t broken anything, but I’m sure they’ll tell me if I have (not that [...]

one idea after another

Hair Plug Hair Plug is an idea I’ve had to establish an open standard for dynamic, potentially “living” hair. The idea came to me after thinking it would be nice to have facial hair for my avatar that grows to remind me to shave more often :-P llRequestMoney() An LSL function that does the opposite [...]

Map API in new location

In an effort to future proof my version of the SL Webmap API against 3rd party grids (as well as open up the possibility of mapping Linden Lab’s various grids), I registered a new domain this afternoon- mapapi.net. The reference implementation for the client interface is now available at agni.sl.mapapi.net, which as you may notice [...]
