I Know when you’ve been bad or good.

So be good for goodness’ sake! It seems a particular gang of hooligans in my favorite hobby, Second Life, have decided that I don’t blog enough! This group of ne’erdowells (led by one Mr. Logan Bauer) have provided me with the virtual equivalent of a probationary ankle bracelet in an effort to ensure that I will continue to blog, and blog with more frequency.

And on Christmas no less! While yours truly is never one to succumb so easily to intimidation, I have decided to take the hint and indeed will try to blog more.

Since Mr. Bauer has published his script on an open forum, I trust he won’t mind my publishing here.

As follows:

key clicker;

default
{
state_entry()
{
}

touch_start(integer num_det)
{
clicker = llDetectedKey(0);
llHTTPRequest(“http://kendrabancroft.wordpress.com/feed/”,[HTTP_METHOD,"GET"],”");
}
http_response(key req, integer stat, list notused, string body)
{
string tmp = “en”;
integer start = llSubStringIndex(body,tmp);
string meat = llGetSubString(body,(start + llStringLength(tmp) + 20),(start + 256));
string tmp2 = ““;
integer end = llSubStringIndex(meat,tmp2);
end –;
meat = llGetSubString(meat,0,end);

if (meat == “Tarako!”)
{
llSay(0,”Unfortunately, it appears Kendra still hasn’t updated her blog since the Tarako! entry on September 12th, 2006.”);
}
else
{
llLoadURL(clicker,”Code red! New blog entry detected : “+meat,”http://kendrabancroft.wordpress.com/”);
}

}
}

Naughty Naughty Naughty. A Lump of coal and a hearty thank you to you, Logan.

Merry Christmas!!
