Retiring swslr project

So I’ve decided to retire the swslr project.
I’d like to thank Pyrii, Zai and Gwyn for the feedback they’ve given me on various aspects of the project, and I’d like to thank Ina for hosting the database the last several months!
There are a few reasons I’ve decided to retire the project- some of them are [...]

Reducing support for Internet Explorer (versions below 8)

UPDATE
Okay, so perhaps I was a little bit harsh on Trident- the CSS 2.1 portions of the new design for sw.slr work flawlessly in IE8, so with Dean Edwards’ Javascript libraries, the CSS3 portions should work sufficiently as well.
So I’ve decided to rephrase my position as “reducing” support for IE- it is still an inferior [...]

Feature Requests

I’m experimenting with using Google Moderator to handle feature requests. Head over there, vote on a suggestion, or make a new one yourself!

HTTP/1.1 204 No Content: A Usability Problem

If the client is a user agent, it SHOULD NOT change its document view from that which caused the request to be sent. This response is primarily intended to allow input for actions to take place without causing a change to the user agent’s active document view, although any new or updated metainformation SHOULD be [...]

Images of Agni

Once again, I’ve updated the composite and distribution guide maps.

More cartographical goodness

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 [...]

sw.slr bugfixes

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.

What is sw.slr ?

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 starts their web-browser [...]

Wanted: Source Code Sherpa

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 IM [...]

auto-update for groups being held back by WEB-787

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 for [...]
