Linden Lab Developers Releasing And Developing Treats

Last Christmas someone bought me “TISWAS – The Album” which rather than being snippets from the series, is a treble CD of songs by artists from around that era, so currentlly I’m rocking out to Tom Robinson and 2-4-6-8 Motorway! With some Boomtown Rats, Tenpole Tudor, The Stranglers and Skids to look forward to, this post may take a while to get done! Anyway, on with the post!

I’ve complained, more than once, that Linden Lab don’t talk to us, like lovers do. Therefore I have to go looking for the goodies in the official forums myself, because there is bloody good information in there. There are bug fixes, new scripting functions, new inventory developments, lots of newness!

Let’s start by looking at Oskar Linden’s bag of goodies in the server deployment posts, this week for example there are some nice developments, which you can read here. One of the highlights (for me anwyay) is:

Implemented llSetKeyframedMotion (http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlSetKeyframedMotion), I’ve had a little play with this, it has potential for being quite funky for lifts (Elevators if you must), vehicles, sliding doors etc, it seems to work quite well from my basic testing.

Adult Hub To Voluntarily Remove Zindra Name

Today there was an Adult content user group meeting, the minutes of can be read here. The meeting being today quite frankly scares me because these meetings are now fortnightly and I swear it isn’t a fortnight since the last one! Time really is flying. Anyway there was some big news at the meeting regarding the controversial use of the Zindra name on the new Adult Gateway.

Serjourn Daxter announced:

“This weekend I was approached by Counter Landfall, a member of the Zindra Alliance. We talked and looked into possible cooperation models. It became clear that the use of the Zindra name was a sore point for the alliance. I was also given an insight into the reasons. In the interest of buillding unity in the adult communities, I brought this issue up in my management team meeting Saturday. After some discussions, we passed a 16 to nil vote on to go ahead and profile what we are (an adult hub) rather than to use the Zindra name, that we understand has a value for the Zindra continent, but is of little consequence for us as a hub.

As a first result of the new cooperation, the Zindra yellowpages have now been placed in 4 locations in the central HUB sim, and will over the comming weeks be placed also in the 4 surrounding sims. ”

This is good news on several fronts and extremely encouraging to hear.
