~in which one might find the Locations of other Aethernetical Destinations~

Most Dangerous Calendars

24Apr2007

Concerns of Lag and Presence have been frustrating me a little when it comes to Building of recent days, but I have been able at least to achieve a few things.

The first is yet another one of my Aethernetical Nonsense Works - a little thing which I call "Eventcal".

The Twitterbadge

20Apr2007

Before I dive back into acts of proper engineering within SL (usually located at <0,0,0>) I would quickly like to note one more Twitter-related product - the Twitterbadge.

Twitterbox 0.4

19Apr2007

For what it is worth, I have finally gotten around to releasing the latest version of the Twitterbox, which includes a number of new features and is generally a bit more reliable. Of course, at this time the Grid is... well, it is a Wednesday.

If you wish to view a list of changes from the previous version, by all means read on, and do excuse the scrappiness of my list-making.

Now, hopefully, I might be able to work on, you know, a thing, rather than a succession of ephemeral seance devices. Something which exists in its own right, and allows one to do something upon the Grid itself which one previously could not. Alas, the fractious nature of reality is making this just a tad tricky, with some of my best works now appearing foolish and error-ridden, but the time will come I'm sure when events do not just occur in random orders.

Searchation, mappery

A few quick notes:

  • I am informed further regarding the collection and retention of data by the Searching Homunculus by Christian Westbrook-Prior of the Electric Sheep. It seems that, every time the bot enters a sim to do its work in rescanning the contents of that sim, all previously-gathered information is wiped, and the database is then re-populated only with those items which the bot has been told it may index.

    • Searching, Publicity; How Well It Can Work, How Well It Should

    11Apr2007

    As one with a long term interest in both Automated Information-Collecting Agents and the Analysis of their Data, I was most fascinated to see the arrival of the Sheep Labs Search, created by the Electric Sheep Company. Actually, I was a little startled, as it suddenly arrived without warning on an Easter Monday during which many people are not present, already filled with all sorts of information concerning products.

    Automata and Homonculi

    A quick note on Standards

    8Apr2007

    As previously mentioned, I have been working on Vehicles for the purposes of Combat, which necessitates some sort of Standard to make sure that one's vehicle is not impervious to, but unable to harm, others (making the whole process of Combat a little pointless).

    Previously I had been working with the Callahan Combat Control (CCC) system, under the impression that (a) it had already been selected as a standard for upcoming conflicts, and (b) that the Terra Combat System (TCS) still required payment.

    Effective Protection from the Grid Itself!

    7Apr2007

    Grid Crash Protection Box Apropos of not a lot: I was, this afternoon, conversing with Pavig Lok during one of the periods of Grid Irregularity that we face after having been thrown out for no apparent reason, and attempted to

    An Unsatisfying Morsel

    2Apr2007

    ~ Herein, one may find a few notes dashed off in a hasty hand whilst standing in a damp Caledon drizzle, repeatedly poking a riveted cube.
