[19:17 GMT, 3/3/08] And we’re unblocked!

[18:54 GMT, 3/3/08] And we’re blocked again!

[20:15 GMT, Wednesday] And it’s unblocked again. Theory: it’s blocked between 6 and 8pm GMT.

[18:32 GMT, Wednesday] And it’s blocked again. Please, make up your mind?

[20:37 GMT] Okay, no idea what happened, but it seems to be back now… fingers crossed.

There appears to be an IP ban on AjaxLife’s login proxy (which is needed to fix issues with LL’s login server). As such, the service is down until further notice. I have no idea why Linden Lab have decided to close AjaxLife.

I have no idea if this is temporary, accidental, intentional, etc.

Spanish has now joined Brazilian Portuguese, Hebrew and Japanese as a language supported by AjaxLife’s interface. If your computer is set to Spanish, you should find that AjaxLife’s login screen (at least, the lower half) is in Spanish when you look at it.

Have fun, Spanish-speaking people!

Oh, as an aside, the Hebrew translation is now right-to-left instead of left-to-right.

This is the version I put out earlier this morning. Highlights include inventory item giving, the lack of constant rotation, and the beginnings of inventory organisation. Here are the release notes:

• Non-functioning grids removed from grid list (note that we still crash OSGrid sims on login)
• iPhone stuff removed for now
• Overlapping login box problem lessened somewhat
• Updated ExtJS to 1.1.1
• Added support for llDialog
• Added support for llRequestPermissions
• Fixed region down map overlays – down regions now once again tint red
• Folded the MapAPI into the libraries, increasing loading consistency
• Added some debug stuff – try enabling Firebug or Safari’s debug console
• Notecards and scripts report errors on failed loads instead of loading indefinitely
• Attempts to reconnect after message queue failure (commonly referred to as AjaxLife “crashing”)
• Only rotate once after login and teleport – no constant rotation
• Changed inventory item icons
• Inventory folders now pick up appropriate icons
• Minimap no longer shows a green indicator for yourself (only the yellow dot is shown)
• Allows moving of individual inventory items and folders within your inventory
• Allows transferring inventory to others via drag/drop into their profile
• Fixed bug in NameCache that prevented recovery from a friend list of nulls or blanks

Known issues:

• Inventory sometimes gives every folder a texture icon. This does no harm other than looking odd.
• Eyes and similar are given clothing icons.

I hope you enjoy the new features! Please file any issues in the issue tracker (requires a Google Account), or just email me. Or leave a sufficiently detailed comment here.

Just a response to some of the comments left in the freeform field in the survey:

• You will almost certainly never get a 3D rendering of your surroundings. Sorry.
• Those of you who asked for more TG sims and events need to ask someone else.
• Google street-map style interface… doesn’t work where I live; please elaborate?
• “Open source grids are thief built thief run criminal enterprises.” – I think not. Although AjaxLife does crash OpenSim, which detracts from my ability to point it at such grids anyway.
• Security – people aren’t going to be grabbing your user ID and password. I shall post up my own login below (captured from Firefox), and you can all get to work on cracking it. Of course, if you don’t trust me either, go get LL to work on that web-based login system that never worked properly. Or use an alt.
• Better stability/login success rate/etc. – working on it, but it’s not always my fault! *points at LL*
• More frequent Google Code updates – done.
• Pull in parcel media: maybe
• Integrate with Snapzilla: Perhaps

Also, thanks for the praise!
