FFHUD has the FriendFeed favicon image as default texture; it changes (after the first touch) if a profile image is available for the parcel owners. Profile images are shown by using [[llSetTexture]]; the UUID is retrieved using the Second Life Search; the image web address (not the image itself) is sent to FriendFeed, that then retrieves and hosts a copy of the image.
FFHUD builds your posts like this:
* LINK = SLURL of your location
* TITLE = parcel name
* COMMENT = parcel description (if available) OR your message
* IMAGE = profile image of resident or group that owns the parcel
* ROOM = according to your settings

Put this script in a prim and wear it as an HUD. After the first touch, it
* listens on channel 8 for your message
* gives info via chat about the parcel you're in:
* retrieves from web the profile image texture UUID for resident or group that owns the parcel you're in
After the 2nd touch, or after a listen event, it sends http request to friendfeed.

FFHUD: a simple FriendFeed HUD

by Opensource Obscure

Current release: 0.7.1
One-button, Custom messages, Rooms and Profile Image support.

FFHUD lets you post to FriendFeed. Posts always include a SLURL link to your actual location. You can send a quick update that automatically includes the parcel description, or write a custom message. If available, the owner or owner-group profile image is also published, accordingly to their privacy settings.

If you're on FriendFeed, you may want to join this room:
http://friendfeed.com/rooms/secondlife

Setup

  • Edit the script and put your FriendFeed account data. You may also specify a room.
  • Put the script in a prim (you may also want to rename it)
  • Wear the prim as an HUD

How to use FFHUD

  • Touch it once to get information about parcel you're in (printed in private chat via llOwnerSay)
  • Touch it again within 20 seconds to publish a post on FriendFeed... (that includes available info about the parcel: SLURL, description, owner/owner-group profile image)
  • ...or say a message on channel 8 within 20 seconds to publish a post (that includes same parcel info than above + your message) - Example:
/8 This is my message

Notes

Feel free to use this room for testing:
http://friendfeed.com/rooms/ffhud

FFHUD builds your posts like this:

  • LINK = SLURL of your location
  • TITLE = parcel name
  • COMMENT = parcel description (if available) OR your message
  • IMAGE = profile image of resident or group that owns the parcel
  • ROOM = according to your settings

FFHUD shows the FriendFeed favicon image by default; it changes (after the first touch) if a profile image is available for the parcel owners. Profile images are shown by using llSetTexture; the UUID is retrieved using the Second Life Search; the image web address (not the image itself) is sent to FriendFeed, that then retrieves and hosts a copy of the image.

Script

This code is probably horrible and flawed. Feel free to suggest how to improve it. I am not a real developer and I lack programming basis, so any feedback can help me. I usually read around, cut, paste and tweak code from other sources. To write FFHUD I used snippets by Ordinal Malaprop, Cory Ondrejka, MarcoDuff Palen, Jana Kamachi and others.
