Then finally some strange problem arises and it is hard to hunt down the cause. It's well known that having two sets of eyes on the code makes things go better... Continue Reading →
Lesson Learned: Tiny Modules
I'm used to writing programs that consist of a fair number of object "classes", with multiple objects, messages between them, and the like. I've written programs in procedural languages, using lots of small functions. Most RL programming languages provide some way of managing the program in pieces. In LSL, I found myself writing programs that... Continue Reading →

As we worked to get the Alpine Executive Center up and running, we made new versions of a lot of scripts. It wasn't just a matter of dragging and dropping existing scripts in, although in retrospect it could have been more like that than it was. But even if we had done the very best... Continue Reading →

She put scripts into the cog rail and tested it and built a rezzer for it at one point. (Now that I think of it, she did... Continue Reading →
