If you’re a creator of scripted content in Second Life, you’ve probably noticed the lack of persistent data storage available for LSL. Storing long-term data is nearly impossible without using an off-world database, but off-world database storage requires knowledge of PHP.

Found this post in an old blog while conducting an internet enema, and it filled me with nostalgia for the days before smartphones. Thought I’d re-post it. Last week, I found myself shivering with cold sweats. It had been ages since I had spent a ridiculous amount of money on a marginally useful gadget. So, despite [...]

I know that you do not know your own names; in fact, you may know yourselves better as “Holy Shit” and “You Little Bastard,” respectively. Chloe & Toby are the names I gave you upon adoption, however - the ones you cheerfully ignore on a daily basis. There are a few matters that I would like [...]

Want to use MobileMe for push but don’t want a me.com address? Want to filter out spam before it hits your iPhone? Read on. I wrote earlier about trying to find a way to reduce the amount of spam that came to my iPhone through my MobileMe pushed account. MobileMe is lacking in server-side spam filtering, [...]

Hi there! I’m the guy behind you in line. We should know each other pretty well by now, considering I’ve been standing back here with my roll of Tums for about half an hour.
No, please… take your time arguing with the guy at the cash register. I’m enjoying all the headlines of the magazines in the rack. I mean, who knew Demi Moore was having Pauly Shore’s lovechild? That info will come in really useful for me at my weekly housewives bridge game. You know how we love to gossip! Continue reading…

Dear Creepy Street-Corner Mime,
I just want a word to explain to you why I reacted the way I did when you playfully “discovered” an invisible wall in front of me on the street the other day. I admit that kicking you in the testicles and running away screaming like a girl was an indecorous reaction, but it’s important to me to explain myself before you pass judgment on me.

We’re working on a new version of the VX-7 Scorpions (1.2), and we’ve added a new muzzle flash option. Wanted to give a quick preview so folks could have a chance to comment:
Personally, I like the “Anime” style a lot better; it’s more refined and makes better use of glow. However, we’re leaving the “Standard” muzzle flash as an option for those who prefer a more realistic feel or who don’t have glow enabled (both use glow, but “Anime” looks ghastly without it, whereas “Standard” looks okay).
What do you think? Which should be the default option?

I got this question from ‘taurus:’
I noticed you managed to get the new te.leport.me hud to work on no script land. I was wondering if you’d tell us how you did this and if you plan to equip your other items with whatever loophole you used here.
I’m actually kind of embarrassed to have overlooked this on the release, but I’m glad we got it worked out now.
Basically, there’s a small, intentional hole in the no-script land restriction, and that hole is the control event. The no-script restriction is designed to allow things like flight enhancers and animation overriders to continue working, so the parcel assumes that an attachment running a control event is one of those things and allows it to continue operating.
