the latest rezzme now contains the necessary code to build debian/ubuntu dpkgs — making it as easy to install rezzme packages on the latest debian/ubuntu systems as it already is for windows and mac OSX machines as the dpkg format allows me to explicitly specify the prerequisites (such as …
i just switched over from thunderbird 2 to the new sparkly thunderbird 3 — and i like it very much. particularly the tabbed user interface is quite nice but also lightning 1.0 seems to cope much better with those lotus notes generated calender invites :-)
what did bother me was that …
i recently switched all my systems from running kubuntu hardy heron 08.04.02 to xubuntu karmic koala 09.101 — a rather pleasant switch over. the only thing that was bothering me was the really crappy fonts in firefox and emacs. in firefox, no matter what i configured in …

iDon’t, err, iPhone in 2012.a colleague of mine in japan contacted us asking whether our in-world collaboration tools could be extended to support japanese characters — he had tried our internal, public sametime 3d servers and had noticed that while in-world chat and instant messaging worked just fine, our flipcharts, brain storming boards, calendar, and …
for almost 10 days i’ve been the proud owner of a new mobile phone, the htc hero, an android and, thus, linux based mobile phone! over the past year or so i had become increasingly fed up with my apple ipod touch — yes, i had jail-broken it, yes, i …
a couple of weeks ago i blogged about our rather sobering tests with real avatars and that we run into serious trouble round about the 21 avatar mark. alan webb, arthur valadares, and i started looking at the what could possibly be biting us there.

after our intoxicating stress test ten days ago we repeated the stress test today with a group of volunteers — thus, real SL clients instead of bots.
the result: 21. :-(
somewhere around the 21 avatar mark we are got stuck and the (single) region standalone system started becoming very laggy: avatars …
for stress testing i needed to create 100 avatar accounts quickly. instead of going via opensim’s console i started ipython and entered the following python script:
[python] import xmlrpclib os = xmlrpclib.Server('http://127.0.0.1:9000/') for i in range(100): os.admin_create_user(dict(password = 'SECRET', user_firstname …it was a dark and stormy night. lightning was ripping the heavens apart, thunder was rolling through the valley. no living soul dared venture outside…1

i’ve been a big fan of the syntax highlighter aka syntaxhighligher evolved wordpress plugin for quite a while now. after updating to the syntaxhighlighter evolved version, my code sections started looking funny, like this:
[python] a = None b = 1
if all((a, b)): print ‘yes!’ [/python]

recently i was in need of being able to send inventory items (well, a whole folder full of stuff) to the inventory of a logged-in avatar.
just copying the the inventory items to the avatar inventory (for example, using
Scene.GiveInventoryItem()orScene.GiveInventoryFolder()) will not cause your avatar to …while researching the german word “wallen” i bought the universalwörterbuch from duden, a respected and well-known dictionary publisher in german speaking countries. the download page offers a debian–ubuntu package of officebib, the underlying application for a series of dictionaries from duden and other publishers. running kubuntu i naturally chose …
a couple of weeks ago i added the
regioninfoREST call to OpenSim. here is a little python script that shows you how to use it:[python] #!/usr/bin/python # -*- encoding: utf-8 -*- import sys import urllib2 import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET def RegionInfo(url): if not url.endswith('/'): url …followers of the riveting1 opensim-dev mailing list will have noticed that i “culled”

update: since posting this i’ve been experiencing intermittent (that is, non-deterministic) mono crashes when running OpenSim, and have reverted to mono 2.0.1 which runs much more stable.
charles krinke, stellar director of osgrid, blogged about the first OSgrid metaversity C# classes that took place on teravus plaza yesterday:
