When I originally heard folks talking about "UUIDs" and the sun in a group chat, I assumed a Linden had flubbed a customized Valentine Day texture and the client was displaying a black square for a sun with a generic message of "CANNOT FIND UUID". ;)

I predict the first real life celestial advertisment will be in 2050 or so. A multi million dollar cheese company. With "BYE CHUCKY CHEEZE!" painted on the moon. :D

This is probably just me, but I didn't take the moon to mean "Buy a Private Island!" I sort of took it as an invite to head off to one, just the two of you - whoever you & your partner are.

I grant that buying a private island would therefore be the only way to assure that the island you & your sweetie took off for was in fact private, but I guess I just didn't take it as "BUY AN ISLAND NOW" right off the bat. ;)

The idea of having a private little island paradise all to yourself & your sweetheart IS reasonably romantic, though, imho, as long as you aren't stuck there permanently without food or water.

My sun belongs to Weebler even though she has no idea who I am.

Confession: I didn't know what a UUID was (OK, I had a vague *idea* but needed some clarity), so I looked it up. This is what I found:

From: Gobbeldygook from Wikipedia
UUIDs are documented as part of ISO/IEC 11578:1996 "Information technology -- Open Systems Interconnection -- Remote Procedure Call (RPC)". The IETF has published Proposed Standard RFC http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4122.txt, and there are efforts underway to document UUIDs as a separate standard through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO/IEC FDIS 9834-8).

Conceptually, the original (version 1) generation scheme for UUIDs was to concatenate the UUID version with the MAC address of the computer that is generating the UUID, and with the number of 100-nanosecond intervals since the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. In practice, the actual algorithm is more complicated. This scheme has been criticized in that it is not sufficiently 'opaque'; it reveals both the identity of the computer that generated the UUID and the time at which it did so.

Several other generation algorithms have been developed and incorporated into the standard, including a scheme relying only on random numbers (version 4 UUIDs), and a scheme deriving a UUID from a URL via MD5 (version 3 UUIDs) or SHA-1 (version 5 UUIDs) hashing.

The J2SE 5.0 release of Java provides a class that will produce 128-bit UUIDs. The API documentation for the java.util.UUID class refers to ISO/IEC 11578:1996.


I am not bragging about my tremendous ignorance--in fact, I am ashamed. Unfortunately, this definition did little to fix my problem. It is now as clear as MUD.

Happy Valentine's Day, anyway. :D

In simplest terms, UUID is the address of a thing in the SL database. By pointing to the UUID you can obtain the item, texture, etc, in theory. LSL only allows this in certain limited ways, but that's a security issue.

For example, if you upload a texture, the system doesn't need to know the name of the texture, if you are using a script to change textures... Because there could be 1,000 textures with the same name (wall1, for example) in the database. It wants the UUID, which is unique.

If you've never seen one... It's a long string of numbers and letters, looks vaugly like a blob of hex code.

UUIDs for Dummies

Not that Roo lacks intelligence in any known dimension, but I can't make the title black on yellow text. That explanation was indeed horrible.

Suppose you are making a libarary that has potentially billions of volumes. In most modern libraries, they'll stick a sequential barcode on each book grabbing the stickers from a preprinted sheet. A book can't have the same code as another because only one of that sticker was printed and if librarian A stuck it to book X, librarian B cannot stick it on book Y because A already removed it from the central pool of useable numbers.

Now look at the same problem without the centralized sheet of stickers. Either A and B (and C, D, E....) have to coordinate their actions or you can use a trick. Pick a random number from a set that is so large that the probability of A and B ever picking the same number by chance is so low that it is effectively nil. Since there are 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 possible UUIDs (more-or less) the chance of accidentally picking the same one as someone else is awfully small.

Roo, I have reserved a UUID especially for you. Feel free to have it tatooed across your kundalini, as not only does it make a great conversation piece, I can guarantee that it will make you unique in all the universe. Oh wait, you already are.... nevermind.
