writeable notecard in Second Life - Andrew Linden Office Hours 2009/02/10



Opensource Obscure: will we ever see writeable notecards?

Arawn Spitteler recalls Notecards are unwritable, to prevent the exhaustion of UUIDs, but there are better wayls of doing that.

Andrew Linden: Hrm... writable notecards.
Andrew Linden: Yeah, we probably didn't implement that for worry about runaway asset creation.
Andrew Linden: I'd have to ask around LL to see what people remember from the last time we considered writable notecards.
Andrew Linden: sounds like a hard problem for me to solve... bigger than I could fit into my spare time.

Arawn Spitteler: If you have an off grid server, you can write to those cards.

Kitto Flora: The lack of write/read notecards has probably resulted in even more asset size to work around the problem.

Rex Cronon: u can even put a limt like no more than 1 new notecard created by a script every minute
Rex Cronon: like there is a limit on how many emails an object can send

Opensource Obscure: about the writeable notecard thing - I would appreciate if you could give us an update at http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-402 or http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-3515 or http://jira.secondlife.com/browse

Andrew Linden: I have another meeting that is starting now, so I have to run unfortunately.
Andrew Linden: Obscure, perhaps I'll find the time to go back to the transcript and examine the bugs you mentioned.
