I’m discovering that I liked the works of Neil Gaiman when I was younger, and didn’t know it. Here’s a quote from a comic I took out from the library once: John Constantine, issue 2 of “The Books of Magic” You know, when I was a kid, I thought America was a magic land. It’s [...]
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 [...]
Fixed a problem with auto-discovery of Resident UUIDs failing if Linden Lab’s search engine hadn’t gotten around to indexing it’s own documents. Fixed a long-standing bug with the Domesday Book, whereby pagination cut-off at 1400 pages.
Preamble sw.slr is the term I use to describe my research project implementing microformats for Second Life data. It’s a relatively convinient short-form for Semantic World.SecondLife.com Replacement. Unstructured data vs. structured data The majority of content on the web is human-readable (though most of it is aimed at sighted users, not blind ones); A user [...]
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: 4fbad8e42056d1_ Here’s the kicker- uhu_capability_regapi::get_error_codes() doesn’t exist- overloading magic is at work. The actual uhu_capability_regapi [...]
I’m in need of a source code sherpa to help me navigate the SL Viewer source code- specifically the portions involved in the retrieval of the in-world events data, so that I can have a more reliable, single data source for the events portion of sw.slr. If you’re interested in helping out, send me an [...]
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 [...]
I recently experienced a rather catastrophic had disk failure, resulting in the loss of about 300GB worth of music, video, wallpapers and software archives. Thankfully, all my code is remotely backed up so there wasn’t much of a problem there, and all of my music can be re-ripped. Unfortunately, a video that holds sentimental value [...]
It seems that Linden Lab’s recent changes to the layout/design of the search appliance has resulted in a rather annoying bug: periods seem to be stripped out of the group name in the result listings, resulting in a false negative for the portion of UHU5 that handles group2key auto-discovery. Since it doesn’t particularly make sense [...]
Torley’s entire collection of published music (with Ogg Vorbis instead of MP3 where avaiable for moar fidelity) totals 3.75 gb:Burn the collection to DVD once you’re done downloading to avoid having to re-download it all over again.
