AjaxLife status and updates
So, I’ve been semi-busily working on AjaxLife, and spending the rest of my time revising for insanely large numbers of tests. It must be report writing time.
Anyway, we have new features to come to you all shortly, most of which are inventory related:
Hovertips:
Context menus:
And, for those of you who use OS X and Fluid (the latest version, that is), we can do this:
This’ll be released as soon as that “Properties” button works.
Wow! That’s great Katharine! 
Inventory management is one of only a few missing to make this a full SL client. (of course, not including graphics and movement)
Sorry to double-comment, but I forgot to add: not including some features, isn’t Fluid a little similar to Mozilla Prism?
Yes. Except Prism runs Gecko, Fluid runs WebKit. Mozilla is slow, WebKit is fast. Prism is ugly, Fluid is passable. Prism doesn’t let you do fancy things like growl notifications, Fluid does.
Overall, Prism (and, indeed, Firefox) fails on OS X.
To quote from their site:
Fluid seems awfully similar to Mozilla Prism. What gives? Fluid was very much inspired by the excellent Mozilla Prism project, Adobe Air, and other, earlier Site Specific Browsers like Bubbles. Many people think Prism was the first product in this category, but remember, Prism itself was preceded by several other SSB products. Fluid’s goal is to be the best, most native-feeling SSB for Mac OS X Leopard. Prism is cross-platform, which is a huge benefit for lots of users. However, many Mac users prefer a more tightly-integrated, Mac-like SSB application. That’s Fluid’s niche. Fluid is a thoroughly native, Cocoa Mac OS X application. No compromises or least-common-denominator tradeoffs.
Great idea of implementing Fluid! I can’t wait to use that.
Katharine,
you keep impressing me like that and I’ll end up praying in your direction five times a day 
Great, great work.
Wow! It is very cool! I am loving it!
