AjaxLife status and updates
I see someone linked to me - all that traffic’s directed at AjaxLife. It does now work on the MG. Oh, and it doesn’t work on Safari 2 - use the Safari 3 beta or Firefox instead. Alternatively, if anyone with access to Safari 2 can help me work it out, that’d be appreciated too.
Being able to search profiles, etc. is coming. 
If you tell me what to do.
…I keep forgetting about shifty eyes. o.o
Anyway, I’ll be on when you come back from school, in case I can help.
To say that you’ve been linked to is an understatement Kath. This is circulating right on the SL educator’s list serve as we speak, and has only been doing so for the past 10 hours or so, and most people don’t check their work email over the weekends. I would say that by about Tuesday the entire main grid (entire being a highly imprecise term) will know about it. You *might* need an additional server. : )
Katharine, the Ajax project looks awesome. I would love to interview you about it as soon as possible for my blog, New World Notes. Please e-mail me or IM me in SL as Hamlet Au. Thanks!
Hello Katharine,
Your project is nothing but GREAT and usefull and again GREAT work.
Withall the hardware (and very often software limitation - access restricted from the office) I estimate a huge amount of people using it.
Thank you for you work.
Enough people have used it already - it caused by server to grind to a halt. Not even responsive enough to shut down properly; had to pull the plug on it.
I have an idea for scaling it better…
On a totally unrelated note… I still remember the first comment you made when we first discussed your blog, and I think the situation totally pwned you this time. :p
Nice stats!!! ^^
Kath,
hmm I think I still need to see it to believe it… (apologies, just the geek scepticism - looks too good to be true 
But assuming it really does work - this is a nice piece of code, congrats then!
For scaling - GPL it and put for the others, then others would install it too, and then would be possible to loadbalance between the servers… (well, although I don’t know your plans about code distribution, but having many servers would definitely help scalability
I added a link directed to AjaxLife so that i could find it easier onto this website:
http://cabooseonline.sopris.net/userpanel/index4.htm
The page might load a little slow because of issues I’ am having with my website provider and some glitch that happened when i uploaded the link. Also the page might not load right. I’ am working on a fix…

Wow, what a great piece of programming, Kath! I’m really looking forward to running this locally rather than using the SL client, if possible. I know there’s a way to go yet, but it looks so promising. Wonderful work!
Neat project! I was actually thinking about making a 2d interface to Second Life, but i never thought of using good ol’ HTML & JavaScript to do it.
With regard to Safari 2 i’d be glad to check it out, but it appears that the service is not responding (i.e. i get a Bad Gateway error).
Woo, it finally crashed out. That means I can get to my server again.
I have actually fixed Safari 2 now (apparently it disliked the word ‘float’), but the buttons are all misplaced.
I’ll restart the thing now and cross my fingers. :p
Ah, I see your new update. I had linked to the previous blog entry. Great work Kat! Looking forward to more from you. Thanks for a great program.
Now and again, Great ideas that join stuff up like this come along and have a massive impact. This will be really important for people who cant access SL because of firewall/routing issues.
Well done!
If you allow access to the source.. People can host their own at a site they manage/trust. Would take some pressure off your servers too 
Outstanding work, Katharine ! Right now I keep getting the “loading subsystems” message on Firefox 2.0.0.4 for Windows. I also get that message today with Opera and IE7.
Sorry, I’m working on internationalisation support. I probably broke something somewhere. Checking it now. (Coming soon: Spanish translation. Translation volunteers appreciated for other languages.)
“Internationalisation support” rofl. That’s so posh. =P
Calm down, folks. Spanish and hopefully French will be up soon.
You can practise/learn them a bit while they’re the default languages xDD
(and wait until you see Russian… if you do xD)
