Second Life: Script-triggered Sounds and Viewer Audio Channels

February 10th, 2010 – 12:22am

Second Life allows objects to be scripted to trigger the playback of sounds. These can include anything including (but not limited to) birdsong, gunshots, clicks and sound bites.

May 25th, 2009 – 7:53am

Okay, I know oldbies hate it when something floats around about “firsts” in Second Life, but I do think its rather nifty that Metaverse ID is the first plugin for Second Life listed in the official WordPress Plugin Directory!

Is your password secure ? Probably not secure enough!

January 16th, 2009 – 10:04pm

Okay, this topic rears its head again.

Your Second Life password cannot be longer than 16 characters. several of the examples Jeska provides are invalid because of this arbitrary limit.
There is no good reason for passwords being limited to 16 characters.
OpenID logins for Second Life are trivial to implement..

Update: After poking around the Microformats Wiki, I’ve altered my proposal slightly to use the enclosure value.
Timeless Prototype
With the recent increase in OpenSim usage, the natural progression will be for people to offer entire simulator creations for download.

October 21st, 2008 – 6:03am

After finding that the new HTTP In support in LSL didn’t allow the Content-Type header to be set, I developed a Userscript for Greasemonkey to circumvent the issue by utilising Firefox’s support for data URIs.
