Baba Sucks

OpenMV recently obtained an open source license for the Jira issue tracker and all the bugs in mantis were transferred over with a built in importer.  With Jira we get some neat new features such as good version tracking and linking issues to subversion commits. You can check it out at  jira.openmv.org

The original cubes were somewhat skewed to one side and hard to edit because they were taken directly from a screenshot of 3 stacked cubed in Second Life.

The new cubes were created in Adobe Illustrator so they can be scaled to any size big or small with no real loss of quality. Vectors are wonderful things. Next step, T-shirts.

For those who have not seen the original cubes before, here they are

Yes, another libsecondlife release! This one is much better than the 0.2 release. We have full working inventory and full CAPS/LLSD support and a lot of other new features and bug fixes.

Crazy trip. So tired.      Who was at the Open Source panel on Sunday?  I want to find the audio.

The libsecondlife SL4B event schedualed yesturday was pushed back to Sunday, June 24th because the sim was at capacity and almost nobody could get in to attend.

libsecondlife - Past, Present, and Future - June 24th, 1:30pm PST

This event is an open discussion about libsecondlife. It will start with a short introduction and background information and then everyone will be free to discuss any aspect of libsecondlife.

The Second Life 4th Birthday event opens today at 12:00pm SLT(PST).  I was asked to head up the Open Source plot(to take over the world?) for the event.  Such a bad idea!  Some how it came out all right.  Content is a bit skimpy, but there will be plenty of  Baba to go around.

From the 23rd through the 30th of June I will be hanging out at the SL4B Open Source plot. Dealing out the infos you all desire, because I’m too lazy to write a bunch of notecards in “fire and forget” fashion.

To get things started for the Open Source event myself and anyone else I can con into attending will be holding a discussion, “libsecondlife - Past, present, and future.” Today, June 23rd at 1pm SLT.

June 25, 3pm - 4pm: Open Source, The GPL and Second Life with Gareth of  the LiteSim project.

Rob Linden has also suggested that he might hold office hours with us in SL4B.  Details are forthcoming.

Can you tell I don’t know what i’m doing? It’s all right though! I’ve been told it’s the “Bazaar model” and everything will work out in the end. I hope.

Thanks to the efforts of Andrew Ortman we now have a new libsecondlife Developer Portal. The portal will be continuously updated with new content, as well as staying up to date with changes to libsecondlife itself. Feel free to add your own FAQs and make modifications to the entries, it is a wiki after all! If you are new to libsecondlife, and want to find a “Hello World” bot tutorial, or if you need help with chat, you can find all the details on how to do it on the new portal.

Maybe we should, in a last ditch attempt to get their attention, write an open letter asking them what they are going to do to address these problems?

But then, Baba might call us whiners.

What do you want them to say? “We’re working on it, we plan to continue fixing bugs and doing incremental improvements to the current system. Meanwhile, we’re also working on a new system that will allow for greater stability and expansion.”

Something like that? Pretty much what Cory just said a little bit ago and the Open Letter signatories seem unimpressed. Indeed it’s more of the same from Linden Lab. Same words. What else are they going to do? You not happy with the progress? What do you want?

It’s not going to get fixed next week. Not two weeks from now and not even three weeks. Can you beleive it? THREE WHOLE WEEKS will not be enough to fix things. I guess we’re just going to have to wait and see.

I guess it all depends on why you’re in Second Life. I’m here to make sure this metaverse thing happens. Fuck the rest of you and your petty little wants and needs. NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW. You want everthing perfect right now, and it’s not happening. You do succeed in one thing. You force decisions that show short term improvements. Things start to look better and then you’re happy for a a few weeks, then it goes to shit again and you wonder why they can’t get it right. Why does this always happen? It’s you.

It’s time folks. Time to look down deep and make a decision. What do you want from this? Is it important to you in the long term or are you here to make a quick buck selling primdongs and have dance parties with your friends?
