AjaxLife Blog

AjaxLife is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch! It’s currently about where AjaxLife itself was just over a year or so ago - you can chat to people, IM those on your friend list (online or offline this time ’round), and receive IMs from arbitrary people. Thus far, there is no movement, no inventory, no money transfers, etc.

To use it, simply visit http://ajaxlife.net on your iPhone or iPod touch. You will be redirected to a secure “login proxy”, which is used because the iPhone could not reliably run the code to encrypt your login details. From there you will be redirected to the standard server.

See some screenshots

New features

• “Offline Friends” list to complement “Online Friends”
• Following disconnection from the server, a more obvious dialog will be shown. Note that it’s not necessarily true - it might be a momentary blip.
• Textures shown from inventory have a checked background behind them, which shows through transparencies.
• Added a server-side ban list - I can ban you now. :p

Changes

• Removed “Properties” from inventory context menu in Internet Explorer (it didn’t and won’t work)
• Moved the “Online Friends” and “Groups” tabs into a new “Contacts” window. Instant Messages is now only visible when there are instant messaging sessions in progress.
• Unsuccessful texture downloads are now shown as such, instead of waiting forever.
• Server now uses libsecondlife 0.5

Bug fixes

• Profiles load in Internet Explorer again.
• When starting a group IM, proper notification is given when it is (or isn’t) created, instead of mostly hidden errors
• Internet Explorer users can drag the Parcel Media window down without the drag aborting after twenty pixels.

This update will (should) appear automatically without your intervention. Please enjoy Linden Lab’s new splash screen, too.
