== RE: [http://twitter.com/torley/statuses/803835465 twitter] ==
I have a patch for [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VideoFlash Extension:VideoFlash]- which is used for embedding the YouTube vidtuts in the wiki (I've [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Args left a note] on the author's talk page about the patch)- the patch adds support for blip.tv videos to the extension. The blip.tv flash player includes "episode navigation", so rather than including a link to each individual episode, [[Video Tutorials|the article]] could be cleaned up by just displaying the latest clip in each volume.

I'm having some sound problems, who would you suggest I talk to?

Greetings, who's responsible at LL for the wiki? The syntax highlighting for LSL is really out-of-date. Could you give me a name of who I'd have to talk to?

== re:Wacom Intuos3 6x8 ==
 
How much does it cost to get one of these ?
 
I'm stuck with a rather cheap-ass graphics tablet at the moment- this is the second one of the same model I've had, due to problems with the first generation model being even more cheap-ass than this one. But as you've seen it still plays nice with ArtRage 2 :-)
 
[[User:SignpostMarv Martin|SignpostMarv Martin]] 08:04, 29 January 2007 (PST)
 
P.S. I'm suspecting you might've got it cheaper from elsewhere, since manufacturers tend to list padded prices.
 
: Mine was 'round CAD$350 and I got it from [http://ncix.com NCIX]. Wacom seems to have quite the hold on graphics tablets — I appreciate their elegance but also wish there was more diversity. I wonder what other alternatives are more affordable but... not ''cheap'' in the quality-lacking sense.
: --[[User:Torley Linden|Torley Linden]] 12:56, 30 January 2007 (PST)
 
::Mine cost GBP£25.
::It works, but the graphics pen is rather fragile, and breaks easily. The coating on the pen tends to rub off, and the coating on the first edition of the tablet itself suffered from the same issue.

== RE: My united states of whatever... ok i just need sleep ==
A clever soul suggested (by forum PM) an official FAQ on SL and Vista. I wouldn't imagine it would have to be long just answer a few of the more basic questions that get asked (like: why won't it run, when will it run, and why does it turn the bread on top of my CPU into burnt smoldering bread when in XP it only made toast (it has ruined my breakfast habits)). Said I would pass it along. I did sticky a thread in the RA forum though. In retrospect might have been better to PM; opps. [[User:Strife Onizuka|Strife Onizuka]] 21:03, 31 January 2007 (PST)

My work has moved me into other areas at Linden Lab and I'm no longer a wiki co-admin, so please don't expect a reply here. Occasionally, I post updates on my my.secondlife.com feed.

LSL Syntax highlighting on the wiki

Greetings, who's responsible at LL for the wiki? The syntax highlighting for LSL is really out-of-date. Could you give me a name of who I'd have to talk to? Or could you forward this link to a third-party editor to her/him as a reference, to the best of my knowledge it is up to date. -- Kireji Haiku 05:21, 8 October 2012 (PDT)

I also got an up-to-date LSL syntax highlighting bundle for TextMate if that helps. If you want a copy, post me an email-address where to send it. Thanks! -- Kireji Haiku 06:54, 8 October 2012 (PDT)
Oh and while you're at it, please update the editor in the Second Life viewers, too! Thanks. -- Kireji Haiku 00:41, 9 October 2012 (PDT)
