Ajaxlife gone opensource

27 07 2007
Ajaxlife, the web based SL chat client, has gone opensource and is available here. While it's serving its purpose and working, I dislike the fact that it is being implemented in Mono, because due to libsecondlife. If it would be running under another programming language, there would be no need for a sandbox and it would take much less memory on a server, but then again we are all free to do better. :) 

Web based SL client in development

09 07 2007
There's now a 3rd party web based SL client called AjexLife in development and available. So far it has more or less the same feature set as Slink, meaning it's good for logging into the grid, chatting, sending instant messages, getting notifications, viewing the map and teleporting around. Of course - no graphics. The main focus is on for the main client underpowered machines and communicating so far.

Since this works with AJAX, it should be possible that it even works through most company firewalls - I guess the server makes the connection to the grid, not the webbrowser per se. I wonder under which license this work is going to be put under...
