since time immemorial (well, almost) i own a private epson 1260 scanner. a couple of weeks ago i — foolishly, as it turns out now — offered to my in-laws to copy all lake district articles out of our country walking collections. foolishly, because i realized that country walking must have their …

our lab “owns” an island on the LindenLab grid and we’ve created a “lab” avatar who is the estate owner. as the island is paid for by the lab, we need to have monthly account statements on file for the bean counters. so far, i had to remember to …
we are currently trying to figure out what the best approach for a REST “API” for regions is and would like to solicit comments :-)
currently the idea is to have a scheme as follows:
- http://opensim.foobar.org:9000/admin/regions —
- GET returns an array of (UUID, name, x location …
- http://opensim.foobar.org:9000/admin/regions —
we are currently looking at adding REST support to the RemoteAdmin plugin (other stuff to follow) — the idea being that we can get information about (as well as change state of) a running OpenSim instance not only via XmlRpc but also via REST.
looking at the way we currently deal …
mucking around with trying to get mono to run on hardy heron (and my custom compiled kernel1) i ended up with a mutilated mono installation. just following my previous recipe didn’t work out too well for the mono document browser…duh…:-(
so, i took sean’s shell script …
ever since i switched to wordpress 2.5 (and 2.5.1) i was experiencing absurdly high CPU loads whenever i posted a new blog entry or changed a page — culminating in loads of 124+ yesterday, effectively bringing our server to a standstill! :-( not good. not good at all.
a …
having bitten the bullet and upgraded from feisty fawn to hardy heron i had to reinstall my amorok from svn to get proper support for artwork again…which requires an installation of libgpod from svn…which on hardy heron requires gdk-pixbuf…
…just installing
libgdk-pixbuf2andlibgdk-pixbuf-devdidn’t satisfy libgpod …just thought i’d let you participate in today’s adventure: triggered by ansgar commenting on ubuntu offering him to upgrade to ubuntu 8.04 “hardy heron” i though, “hmm, good idea, let’s do a quick update”…
…well, a couple of hours later i seemed to be back in …
until a couple of days ago, opensim would only run in console mode: whenever you started OpenSim you would end up at a prompt inside OpenSim’s very own console — which is very convenient if you want to manage it that way. it is rather inconvenient if you want to …
last week i described how to set up asterisk & opensim. a rather useful tool to test the whole setup is libsecondlife’s TestClient which (as of release 1758) contains commands to retrieve the voice account details and also to obtain the voice parcel info.
you start up your freshly compiled …
if you’ve been following the opensim-commits mailing lists recently, you will have noticed that among the flurry of bug fixes and new features were a couple of commits mentioning the magic terms voice support. based on the the voice technology entry on wiki.secondlife.com, and also jhurliman’s …
i realized the other day that the markdown-extra plugin i am using for text markup was generating non-unique footnote anchors, resulting in any footnote #1 in a blog entry on referring back to footnote #1’s anchor in the very first blog on a page with multiple blog entries. not …
to run the most recent libsecondlife release you need to have at least mono 1.9 installed. the following step-by-step recipe applies to a ubuntu 7.10 system and you should be root:
installing pre-reqs
apt-get install build-essential bison gawk apt-get install libglib2.0-dev apt-get install libpng12-dev libx11-dev libfontconfig1-dev apt-get …
regardless of whether you check out opensim from a source repository or are using prebuild packages, opensim will always bring along its own libsecondlife.dll. as of the time of this writing this libsecondlife.dll is the subversion 1550 snapshot from libsecondlife’s subversion repo.
tonight i felt like being slartibartfast — yep, the urge to create some fjords, mountain ranges, and islands was just overwhelming. unfortunately, the previous routes to scratching that itch were blocked: using L3DT to generate a nice looking landscape (all by just twiddling a couple of sliders) and then loading the …
while working on a lengthy LaTeX text in my favourite editor, emacs, i noticed that once i turn on flyspell-mode (spell check as you type), that transient-mark-mode (highlight marked regions) would become borked :-( not good.
investigating the issue, it transpired that the flyspell.el and ispell.el files installed as …
as you hopefully have not noticed (well, there was some downtime, but not more than usually afflicted by cablecom) i switched xyzzyxyzzy.net from gentoo to running ubuntu server 7.10 on monday.2 along with that came a reorganization of the web server directory layout — and i took the …
we noticed last week (well, actually a bit longer than that) that OpenSim would not really care to run on PowerPC platforms. the symptoms were that (a) it would die with an array index exception on restart, and (b) the SL client would crash horribly when connecting to the region …
my X60 keyboard has those rather convenient “next page” and “previous page” keys (located just above and to the side of the cursor keys) which i’m using to switch to the next or previous tab in konsole and firefox:
- adding support for that in konsole was rather easy: just …
want to run your own secondlife grid? not satisfied with that lousy 512m² plot in the middle of that sleazy, red-light district sim somewhere on a remote secondlife island on the LindenLab grid? ever dreamed of becoming a railway tycoon and running a railway company in secondlife — but couldn’t …
