llCreateNotecard(string name, string description, string message)

Since it's already been mentioned that we may not see llWriteNotecardLine() anytime soon due to something related with how notecards are stored, I'm curious if it would be possible to create an entirely new notecard, and thus circumventing the problem with writing to an existing notecard.

Or is this mysterious problem also general enough to prevent a create-notecard function?

I was originally thinking of using the email queue to store data by having the object email itself. The problem with that is you lose the email when you read it.

Then I thought about improving on that by suggesting an llGetNextEmail2Notecard(), so that I could read the email without having it deleted, but at that point I figured I'd cut the whole email step out of the process to get to what I really want: persistent storage.

Even with XML-RPC on the horizon, persistent local storage will provide a very useful capability, and has several of it's own advantages over remote storage systems implemented with I/O.

I would love this product and/or service :D

And would also like more details about the problem with notecards.

Is that "yes" or "no" in neanderthal? ;)

If not a notecard, some per-object persistent storage would be nice, even if it were only 256 characters (though more would be better).

I think Moleculor's doing an interpretive dance to go with the "Booga booga booga!" :D
