From: Phoenix Psaltery You want me to install something written by someone who is admittedly still learning how to do stuff. THAT'LL be the day.
You can't play SL without a decently high speed connection. It takes me all of 90 seconds to download the new version of SL each time we update. I really don't know what all the fuss is about it.
P2 Take a look at the code. It's solid. It's not like the program is incredibly complicated, it just downloads and runs a file from the Internet. I'm on a 256/256 Kb DSL connection right now. It takes me a good 20 minutes to download the update on a good day. But I can still hang out on SL with a few of my friends. There are surely a lot of others like me. |

P2 In his defense, don't discourage coders. He wrote something that has added functionality, regardless of him being new or not to that language, eventually he'd be encouraged enough to make something that would have a broder userbase. But, what I found was that, even a simple script that logs a person's name, would have a niche userbase. There are people who'd use his tool in otherwords. Getting something to work from nothing always has a good feeling for the coder. I think it's similar to what artists feel about their paintings and what architects feel about their buildings on completion. |

It was pretty discouraging to spend all of the time I did on it and then just have people tear into it. |
