Will No One Rid Us Of This Troublesome Jira?

Gadget Portal started a thread in the official forums: New Jira System – Not Fixing Problems. In the post Gadget highlights the problem of not being able to comment on an existing Jira, an old one relating to group chat. As Gadget couldn’t comment, he raised a new Jira on the same issue, which was then closed as it’s a duplicate of the older issue, on which he can’t comment!

I’m sorry, I’m going to have to be blunt here, but this is yet another example of why the new Jira is a steaming pile of cack. Within the comments in that forum thread, besides me pointing out the new Jira is a pile of cack, we see posts from others who are so unimpressed with the new Jira that they are reluctant to report bugs. Let’s look at that again, people are so unhappy with how the new Jira works, they are reluctant to report the damn bugs. This is not a surprise because I had an issue today that sent my blood pressure rising merely at the thought I’d have to engage with this awful Jira system, fortunately I was able to sort the issue without having to go through the pain and agony of the Jira.

Is this really want Linden Lab want? A bug reporting system that people are reluctant to use despite being fully aware of how to use said system? I’m not going to pretend that the old Jira system was great, because it wasn’t. The new Jira system has one big advantage over the old one, it’s far easier to report a bug now because they’ve taken away lots of options on which category to file a bug under. However, the disadvantages are massive. Reporters are no longer informed when an issue is resolved being a massive disadvantage.

Linden Lab Create Valentine’s Gift Mystery

Linden Lab have, via a blog post and emails, promised people who login by 7.30 PT today, a Valentine’s gift, although what it is they aren’t revealing and if I knew I wouldn’t spoil the surprise. The blog post: A Valentine’s Gift For You From Linden Lab, is short on clues.

The email is pretty much a copy of the blog post, minus the funky picture, well it does have the addition of a foreign language version:

Creating A Double Sided Object Giver

I’m going to go through a little bit of scripting here, caveats apply, I have a very basic understanding of LSL, this can almost certainly be done in a more efficient manner and you use this advice at your own risk! Now on with the show. Also the scripts I have examples of don’t fit the window, so you’ll need to use the scrollbars to see it all.

One of the simple scripted tools in Second Life is a notecard giver or a freebie object giver. These are useful and the script is simple, if you want to get funky and have reports from who touched your board then it gets a tad more complicated, but the basic functionality is a simple script:

default
{
state_entry()
{
}

touch_start(integer total_number)
{
llGiveInventory(llDetectedKey(0),llGetInventoryName(INVENTORY_OBJECT, 0));
}

}

That’s it, just put a prim with your freebie goodies inside the object giver prim and you’re good to go. However we can build slightly on this by using both sides of the object giver prim to give a different object, to do that we can use llDetectedTouchFace, which will, as the name implies, detect which face of your prim is touched.

So let’s start by creating a new prim and then creating a new script. To do this just go to the content tab of your prim and click create new script.

The Protest Gnomes Multiply During No Credit Protest

So I arrive at my sim and pop in to The Dwarf Inn to check on my Dwarfins, but down a side alley to the tavern I find more protest Gnomes have appeared and it appears they aren’t happy …. with me!

“Oi, you’ve been using our brothers in your blog posts, with no credit to JubJub” said one.

“You can’t just use us like that” said another.

“JubJub brings us to life and you don’t mention that some of us come with lanterns”

“Or scripted versions that people can edit the signs of”

“That too, so it’s about time you mentioned JubJub Forder’s house of fun in the sim of VoronezhIrkutsk”

“Reasonable prices, some of us are even free!”

“And don’t think those Dwarfins in the tavern will protect you from us”

“No, they’re too busy drinking mead and breeding”

They seemed to find this most amusing and shook placards at me!

“Oh and don’t forget to go and check out Hex’s post at SLUniverse”

“Oh yes” laughed a Gnome “Governor Linden Agrees: The Tier is too damn high“.

At this they cackled manically and then seemed to lose interest in me!
