More cartographical goodness

September 29th, 2008 – 2:29pm

While preparing to test the viability of monthly map updates, including automated generation of the continental images (I didn’t update those during the last update), I started work this afternoon on a script that’ll calculate what regions are in each of Agni’s continents.
It was surprisingly easy to get the script up and running (the whole [...]

What is sw.slr ?

September 21st, 2008 – 8:13pm

Unstructured data vs. structured data

While trying to find a source-code sherpa, I’ve been working on an LLSD parser- it’s mostly complete now, so I started work on an interface to LL’s capabilities services- here’s some snippets that show off the geekiness of the code:
$marv = new uhu_SL_capability_user(‘SignpostMarv Martin’,PASSWORD);
$regapi = new uhu_capability_regapi($marv);
print_r($regapi->service_capabilities());
print_r($regapi->get_error_codes());
Here’s the kicker- uhu_capability_regapi::get_error_codes() doesn’t exist- overloading magic is [...]

Wanted: Source Code Sherpa

September 10th, 2008 – 1:02pm

If you’re interested in helping out, send me an IM [...]

Images of Agni

September 4th, 2008 – 3:34pm

It’s been a while since I updated the map of Agni, so in between UHU5 upgrades, I thought it was prudent to update the map. As before, the image is available on the Second Life Wiki, though for this update I’ve added a new image.
Distribution Guide
A complaint of previous updates was that the image of [...]
