I will pay 20USD setup fee + 3USD per month service fee to have the contents of my scripts folder emailed to me at an address that I specify on a regular basis. The zip would be sent according to one of the following schedules:

- daily Full, or
- weekly Full + daily differential, or
- weekly Full + one Full on each day when a notecard called "update.txt" is in the Scripts directory

The zip would contain the contents of the the Scripts directory of the inventory, along with its subdirectories, and would include the path informatin of each file.

File extensions would be as follows:

Scripts -> .lsl
Notecards -> .txt

Contents would be ASCII, preferably Windows format (CR/LF.

The only way "out" of SL is llEmail. AFAIK llEmail is rather primitive and has no support for any advanced emailing features like attachments. I can easily set up a system to send people's scripts and notecards to their email on a regular basis, but not as attachments.

From Jake's CHM:

llEmail
llEmail(string address, string subject, string message);

Sends email to address with the specified subject line and message body.

This function delays the script for 20 seconds.

The email will always have the sender [email]scripts@secondlife.com[/email]. The length of the message text is limited to somewhere between 3800 and 4000 characters. There will always be four lines prepended to the message text, containing the object name, the simulator region's name and grid location, the object's position in region-local coordinates, and an empty line before the message text itself. For example:

Object
Region Coney (254720, 256512)
Local Pos: (94, 10, 22)

The message text begins here.

Am I silly for thinking he was really just directing this at the Lindens as a feature suggestion?

WTF is C3PO supposed to be USEFUL for anyway, besides whining? Stupid piece of scrap metal would be more useful recycled as a toaster. But even that would suck, because who would want to listen to a whining wussy toaster? Is he gold plated? If that's the case he should just be melted down into gold ingots. Help the economy some, and stop being so damn useless you stupid bucket of bolts! R2 is 1,000 times more useful than your tin man ass, and he's shaped like a salt and pepper shaker FFS!

Garoad, you're exactly right.

Regnar, I produce a *lot* of scripts, each day. I manually copy and paste to external substrates quite regularly but it's a pain, you miss stuff, and the day my account gets corrupted for reason X, Y, Z I know that I'll never quite get back all the scripts exactly as they are today.

Ever since 1.3, or 1.2, or whatever version we are on, one time in 5 that I log on, my inventory is corrupted. Its a temporary client side effect, but it's scary as hell. What if the client-side effect gets replicated to the server with /mir? :eek: :-O

Regular backup for 3USD a month seems like very little to pay for peace of mind. 20USD onetime setup fee seems a priori reasonable all things considered.
