After a long time away, I'm working to revive this site, with some new articles on scripting, at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. Please view, comment, link to, and promote the site, if you possibly can! Thanks!
It’s Alive!
Scripting Overview
I've become fascinated by Second Life scripting, and I think I'm getting fairly good at it. This blog isn't intended so much as an introduction to scripting, as an exploration of how to do scripting well. There are some introductory articles as well. I hope you find all of them helpful. Introductions to LSL Concepts... Continue Reading →

Last time, in Y-Face-Normal Rotation, I talked about how I worked out the angles I needed. A script I've not written about, took Dizzi's input data... Continue Reading →
Moving a Child Prim
My friend BBoySpectre has an idea for a boat ride where people can be on the boa and can move around with their arrow keys as usual. He doesn't want them to fly off the boat as it moves, so he has in mind they'll be sitting on prims, like pose balls, that are part... Continue Reading →
There Are Only Three Optimizations
I found a tweet yesterday, from M. J. Fromberger: In case the picture doesn't work for you, Mr Fromberger says: There are only three optimizations: Do Less. Do it less often. Do it faster.
