AjaxLife Blog

We’re back, and hopefully more reliable than before. As a bonus, you no longer get redirected to bizarre IPs! Development will be picking up again shortly.

Also, since we’re back, donations would be appreciated – since I’m on the main grid now (:D), please just send L$ to Katharine Berry in-world if you wish to donate, cover costs, etc.

(I don’t really have much to say here. Can you tell?)

AjaxLife is actually being actively developed again. Shocking, I know.

In any case, AjaxLife 0.6 is almost ready. This is mostly a maintenance release, with the following improvements:

• The map now works as expected
• Textures now display as expected
• Group chat now works as expected
• HTTPS links now work as expected
• Parcel tracking now works as expected
• llOwnerSay from objects is coloured appropriately
• LSL highlighter is up-to-date

Actual new features will materialise later on. Additionally, a rewritten iPhone client is in progress. Coinciding with this release, I will once again start requesting donations (For the last year or so I have not requested donations, as it didn’t feel fair to ask them for something not actively being developed).

Oh, and the source code is now at http://github.com/Katharine/AjaxLife.

It’s next month, and it’s time for me to request donations once again! Looking for $120 this month (in case you’re wondering, I’m picking the number out of last month’s bill and using it for this month’s costs – it’s easier that way).

The standard disclaimer about it not being my account, but an adult’s, etc. still applies.

Oh, and sorry about Linden Lab blocking it. I’m going to look into having it automatically jump ship to another IP when that happens.

AjaxLife currently costs roughly $130/month to run (less when it’s not actually running properly). Of this, I have made exactly $0/month back (lately).

As such, starting December 1st, AjaxLife will run for a month only when $130 in donations have been collected. The remainder of the time it will be down. So, if you want to use it, please donate!

A donation counter is available below:

This does mean that if the required donations are not reached reliably, AjaxLife’s uptime will be even patchier than it always is. On the other hand, if they are reached, it will be more reliable. Amazing, eh?

(And if the donations required, or something close, are never reached, AjaxLife will never be up.)
