Ok here is the transcript from the AWG meeting today, if they dont like me posting it here then Sue me. And I dont get along very well with one of the founding members.
[09:10 AM] JayR Cela: wow this simm is really running great my FPS is high and my bandwith is the best I have ever seen

[09:31 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: dont know if it works
[09:31 AM] Imaze Rhiano: how much did you paid?
[09:31 AM] Latif Khalifa: i should copybot him just to show him just how silly he is :P
[09:31 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: Freebie
[09:32 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: Latif no

[09:34 AM] Imaze Rhiano: ooookay :P
[09:34 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: Its from Phox from Emerald

[09:35 AM] JayR Cela: several devs left
[09:35 AM] Imaze Rhiano sighs...
[09:35 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: oh no
[09:36 AM] JayR Cela: and i got tired of showing up naked in clubs / when on my screen i looked fine / even pictures i took showed me as being fully clothed / other people took pictures and i was naked
[09:37 AM] Malburns Writer is Online
[09:37 AM] Rex Cronon is Online
[09:37 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: Oh man do I have any clothes on
[09:37 AM] JayR Cela: you look ok on my screen XL
[09:38 AM] Mojito Sorbet: So is trying to convince somebody that they are naked, when in fact they are not, is a form of griefing? :)
[09:38 AM] Razitra Artizar is Offline
[09:38 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I did hear Morgaine's comments yesterday at Triage about Emerald
[09:39 AM] Pinksurfer Mistwalker is Online
[09:39 AM] Mojito Sorbet: heh. is that logged?
[09:39 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Soft didn't say when LL's deadline to Emerald expires. When it does, presumably Emerald are off the TPV Directory.
[09:40 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: That will be a huge kick in the head
[09:40 AM] Mojito Sorbet: WHat deadline is this?
[09:40 AM] Imaze Rhiano: Do I have clothes on?
[09:41 AM] Morgaine Dinova: I expect they'll comply. Their profits stem from having good PR, they hide behind that, so wouldn't want to lose it.
[09:41 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: No transcript yet
[09:41 AM] JayR Cela: Morgaine why wont you talk to me ?
[09:41 AM] Mojito Sorbet: WHat is the deadline for?
[09:42 AM] JayR Cela: did i accidently mute you ?
[09:42 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Mojito: Emerald's revealing of people's home directories was "totally unacceptable" according to Soft. He passed the full details up the management chain, and apparently Emerald have been given a deadline. Beyond that, we don't know anything.
[09:42 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I see some clothes on you Imaze
[09:42 AM] Imaze Rhiano: she would be gray for you if you did mute her
[09:42 AM] Imaze Rhiano: "some clothes" ?
[09:43 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: •´¨*•.¸. HahahaA •´¨*•.¸.
[09:43 AM] JayR Cela: well i must of pissed her off
[09:43 AM] Morgaine Dinova: JayR: got an interesting question?
[09:43 AM] Imaze Rhiano: revealing other people's directories?
[09:44 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I have what was said
[09:44 AM] JayR Cela: ok Morgaine / whats your question ?
[09:44 AM] Rex Cronon is Online
[09:44 AM] JayR Cela: I'm waiting / coff it up
[09:45 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Imaze: they encode people's home directory pathnames in bake images, available to anyone who wants to look.

[09:47 AM] Dahlia Trimble: hi :)
[09:47 AM] Latif Khalifa: hey Dahlia :)
[09:47 AM] JayR Cela: hi there Rex *bigg huggs*
[09:47 AM] Rex Cronon: hi jayr, dahlia
[09:48 AM] Dahlia Trimble: any word from Zha?
[09:48 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Not heard from Zha
[09:48 AM] Mojito Sorbet: Wasn't Zha going to Boston for SLCC?
[09:49 AM] Dahlia Trimble: last I heard they were taking her father to the hospital
[09:49 AM] Mojito Sorbet: oops
[09:49 AM] JayR Cela: i dont know what your problem is Morgaine / but you pissing me off / ask your question or shut the hell up
[09:49 AM] Dahlia Trimble: o.0
[09:49 AM] Imaze Rhiano: it just matter if you installed your emerald to home directory - http://www.sluniverse.com/php/vb/general-sl-discussion/46921-emerald-caught-another-tvp-violation.html

[09:51 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Anyone got any good topics, in the absence of Zha? :-)
[09:51 AM] JayR Cela: yeah I do ......
[09:51 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Has anyone tried the LightShare thing for Opensim + Imprudence?
[09:51 AM] Rex Cronon: what if sombody had the user name on their computer bill gates:)
[09:52 AM] Imaze Rhiano: I doubt that billy is running Linux or Mac
[09:52 AM] JayR Cela: Kirstens Viewer 2 S(20) build (31) is very good
[09:52 AM] Dahlia Trimble: LOL
[09:52 AM] JayR Cela: and so is the latest weekly Imprudence build
[09:52 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I dont see any directory info in the Client column
[09:53 AM] Imaze Rhiano: didn't like from Kirsten - it didn't load all textures for me :(
[09:53 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I am on 2439
[09:53 AM] JayR Cela: you can check my blogg
[09:53 AM] Imaze Rhiano: and didn't like from UI either :(
[09:53 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I'm using V2.1 right now, with the transparency mod it's tolerable as long as I dont try to do any building or scripting

[09:54 AM] JayR Cela: well i think V2 is still a disaster / but Kirsten has managed to make it very usable

[09:55 AM] Honour McMillan: speak for yourself Rex :)
[09:55 AM] Dahlia Trimble: kirsten has some nice improvements
[09:55 AM] Rex Cronon: u r so fragile?
[09:55 AM] Honour McMillan: although Xstorm isn't on top of anybody I can see
[09:55 AM] Honour McMillan: I'm a dainty little thing :)
[09:55 AM] xstorm Radek: i have found some problems that may effect opensim and agni servers and any others linking them to each other
[09:55 AM] Rex Cronon: shall i wisheper? i don't really want to break u:)

[09:55 AM] Honour McMillan: lol

[09:56 AM] Sunset Pevensey is Online
[09:56 AM] JayR Cela: xstorm / oh???? explain further please
[09:56 AM] xstorm Radek: it looks like data from one server to another can happen do to a lack of any filters to stop it
[09:57 AM] Rex Cronon: AFK...............................
[09:57 AM] Rex Cronon: i will be afk for a while
[09:57 AM] Morgaine Dinova: I'm on the latest Imprudence weekly, which has Robin's patches for HTTP Textures applied. Yet, I'm not getting the flakiness that Robin and Latif experienced with Snowglobe. It's a bit odd, should be same code.

[09:57 AM] Honour McMillan: data as in any data? account data?
[09:57 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I was using imprudence but I couldnt get sound to work and I was missing too many IMs
[09:57 AM] JayR Cela: Imprudence is working pretty good for me
[09:58 AM] Hinamori Burleigh is Online
[09:58 AM] Dahlia Trimble: imprudence is pretty nice otherwise
[09:58 AM] Simonie Swain is Offline
[09:58 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Dahlia: "missing IMs" how?
[09:58 AM] Dahlia Trimble: dont hear the beep when I get new ones
[09:58 AM] Latif Khalifa: i can't stand vertical im tabs in "improved" profile in imprudence
[09:58 AM] JayR Cela: i dont seem to be missing any IM's
[09:59 AM] Hinamori Burleigh is Offline
[09:59 AM] xstorm Radek: to help people understand better lets say user A buys some thing on one server and that information is cache then they go to another server and that information and item can end up on that server
[09:59 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I also didnt like the new mini map in imprusdence, cant see the region boundaries anymore and its too big
[10:00 AM] Hinamori Burleigh is Online
[10:00 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Latif: I didn't realize there was more than one option on vertical tabs. What's the one you don't like?
[10:01 AM] xstorm Radek: so if the maker of the venders do not restric and define the server the item is to me one then this can happen
[10:01 AM] xstorm Radek: be
[10:01 AM] xstorm Radek: on
[10:01 AM] Latif Khalifa: I don't want vertical tabs at all, i want them like in the regular 1.23.5 below the IM
[10:01 AM] Simonie Swain is Online
[10:01 AM] Latif Khalifa: not on the side taking space
[10:01 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Dahlia: yeah, there's something I'm not keep on with the minimap. Haven't really thought about it much, but something's wonky about it.
[10:01 AM] PrettyB Durant is Online
[10:01 AM] Morgaine Dinova: keen*
[10:02 AM] Dahlia Trimble: the new radar is nice but it needs works
[10:02 AM] xstorm Radek: i have been testing this and now will have to report my findings
[10:02 AM] Dahlia Trimble: *work
[10:03 AM] Imaze Rhiano: I like from Imprudence radar/minimap
[10:03 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Latif: well horizontal tabs are always available, aren't they? I can't use them because the tabs go right off the screen, and I'm on 1920x1200 with 0.850 UIScale.
[10:03 AM] xstorm Radek: but it be nice if others can test this too on agni and aditi and see if information text and objects do this for them too
[10:03 AM] redd Jimador is Online
[10:04 AM] Honour McMillan: don't stop working this Xstorm - if I had the technical ability I would test as well
[10:04 AM] Latif Khalifa: Morgaine, if they are, I couldn't find the switch to display them in standard 1.23.5 mode
[10:04 AM] xstorm Radek: can any one test it on open sim ?
[10:04 AM] Dahlia Trimble: xstorm, you mean it's not working?
[10:04 AM] Hinamori Burleigh is Offline
[10:04 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Latif: if I find the switch, I'll poke you
[10:04 AM] Hinamori Burleigh is Online
[10:05 AM] xstorm Radek: problem is data leak from one server to another can make problems
[10:05 AM] Dahlia Trimble: what kind of data?
[10:05 AM] xstorm Radek: and if its the viewer cache doing this it needs to be fix
[10:05 AM] xstorm Radek: objects and text
[10:05 AM] xstorm Radek: plus settings
[10:06 AM] Kendra Ling is Online
[10:06 AM] Dahlia Trimble: text? like floating text?
[10:06 AM] xstorm Radek: no
[10:06 AM] xstorm Radek: messages and real objects such as things you buy
[10:06 AM] Dahlia Trimble: email?
[10:07 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Latif: Prefs->Communication->Vertical IM tabs (requires restart)
[10:07 AM] xstorm Radek: no
[10:07 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I dont understand at all
[10:07 AM] Latif Khalifa: Morgaine, cool thanks
[10:07 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: I use Vertical tabs and really like them
[10:07 AM] xstorm Radek: IM's , error messages , system restarts and other data
[10:08 AM] Latif Khalifa: they have the latest build with http texture fixes in bindary build for windows?
[10:08 AM] Dahlia Trimble: you mean you're able to see data that shouldnt be visible?
[10:09 AM] xstorm Radek: i thing Morgaine is more then right when she did say there is a problem with the cache system
[10:09 AM] Imaze Rhiano: You mean that you bought item from GRID X - then moved to GRID Y - and item moved to GRID Y, because it was cached to viewer cache?
[10:09 AM] Simonie Swain is Offline
[10:10 AM] xstorm Radek: its holding information from one server such as Aditi andmoving it to Agni
[10:10 AM] Dahlia Trimble: oh.... the object cache?
[10:10 AM] xstorm Radek: this can make problems on the server
[10:10 AM] xstorm Radek: yes
[10:10 AM] Dahlia Trimble: ah sure I see a potential problem
[10:10 AM] xstorm Radek: buy information was mirror
[10:11 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Latif: McCabe said this morning that the latest weekly has Robin's HTTP Texture patches. I'm running it right not, seems fine. That said, Robin's been making patches continuously I think, and the weekly is dated Aug 07, so it can't have all the patches. If I have trouble I'll look for McCabe's bleeding edge branch.
[10:11 AM] Morgaine Dinova: now*
[10:11 AM] Dahlia Trimble: the object cacne is indexed by region coordinates on the grid?
[10:11 AM] Dahlia Trimble: so different grids with the same coordinates, could cause a conflict
[10:11 AM] JayR Cela: yep Imprudence is working great for me
[10:12 AM] xstorm Radek: seems not to be it looks like LL forgot to put what server the cache did come from
[10:12 AM] Latif Khalifa: Dahlia, the conflict will not do anything bad since each prim's CRC is checked
[10:12 AM] Dahlia Trimble: or what grid
[10:12 AM] xstorm Radek: thats right
[10:12 AM] Dahlia Trimble: depends on how complete the crc is?
[10:12 AM] Latif Khalifa: brb, checking out imprudence weekly
[10:13 AM] xstorm Radek: this is going to make a bad Jira i will have to file
[10:13 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Jiras are like /dev/null currently.
[10:14 AM] Latif Khalifa: ugh, ugly fonts
[10:14 AM] xstorm Radek: greetings Mel
[10:14 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I dont believe OpenSim uses the object cache
[10:14 AM] Melchizedek Blauvelt: hi X, all
[10:14 AM] XLR8RRICK Hudson: Hi Mel
[10:14 AM] xstorm Radek: problem is opensim use cache too
[10:15 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I dont think it knows it's there
[10:15 AM] xstorm Radek: as long as it use the same user viewer
[10:15 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Dahlia, you're right, but I asked at last week's OSgrid meeting, and a person said they almost had it fixed.
[10:15 AM] Latif Khalifa: why do imprudence people "fix" things that need no fixing lol
[10:15 AM] Pinksurfer Mistwalker is Online
[10:15 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Dahlia: think it was "Reverand" something, ring a bell?
[10:15 AM] Dahlia Trimble: had the cache fixed?
[10:16 AM] xstorm Radek: cache needs more then to be fix
[10:16 AM] Dahlia Trimble: rings a bell...
[10:16 AM] Morgaine Dinova: Yeah, he said there were a few bits that needed change, not just the CRC
[10:16 AM] xstorm Radek: if this happens with user data in SL then it can happen with any system that use a cache based system
[10:16 AM] Dahlia Trimble: I dont think OpenSim sends anything to the viewer to tell it to pull stuff from the cache
[10:17 AM] Dahlia Trimble: whatever teh viewer stores in it is out of the sim's control
[10:17 AM] JayR Cela: well I'm fed up with lil ms. know it all, see ya around Morgaine
[10:17 AM] Latif Khalifa: bah
[10:17 AM] xstorm Radek: and for people that work with metadata this is not at all good
[10:17 AM] xstorm Radek: its dirty programing
As you can see this group is a whole lot of talk, but that's about it.

SecondLife (R) Imprudence Weekly Build 08-07-2010
Ok last week I reported on the Imprudence 1.3.xx RC having stuttering problems on 2 different computers and 2 operating systems. Windows XP Home SP3 and Umbuntu 10.04. Now I seem to be torn between the available SL viewers. For some reason I just cant seem to fully embrace Viewer 2 yet, Kirsten and Hitomi have made vast and wide ranging improvements. And if you are a V2 user I highly recommend both. Maybe I just don't like change very much. reminds me of politicians, that say we need change in government, we elect them and everything stays the same, the lobbyist's still run the show.
So I guess all I can say, is that I will wait for V2 to mature to the point that V1 has. If your looking for the best V1 viewer out there, then Imprudence is definitely worth a download, it run on Windows 7 ( you may need to set compatibility mode to Vista ) Mac OSX, and all versions of Linux 32, and 64 bit ( 64 bit may give you some problems with audio ) ( and I have never been able to get in world TV viewing to work on any Linux build ) Lol, that being said, if i want to watch TV, I certainly not going to do it in SL, besides the Treet TV fashion channel I find watching TV in SL to be a total waste of time.
So lets digg down into this newest Imprudence build. I was just talking with McCabe and he was saying that they are using the latest SnowGlobe 1.5 libs, or rendering engine. I think it may be time for LL to either abandon Viewer 2, or fire the V2 development staff, and get back on track with Philips vision / SnowGlobe.
[06:41 AM] JayR Cela: hi there McCabe / i been using your latest weekly build the stuttering problem is gone now
[06:41 AM] McCabe Maxsted: woo!
[06:41 AM] McCabe Maxsted: good to know the cause then :)
[06:41 AM] McCabe Maxsted: I did some different build trickery with the weekly this time
[06:42 AM] JayR Cela: well it worked
[06:43 AM] JayR Cela: i been bounceing around between Kirstens and your's / and as much as I would like to imbrace Viewer 2 / I still dont care for it very much........
[06:43 AM] JayR Cela: i see your still on 1.23.5.xx code base .........
[06:44 AM] JayR Cela: any plans to migrate to SnowGlobe 1.4 ?
[06:48 AM] McCabe Maxsted: we're already using snowglobe 1.5's rendering engine
[06:48 AM] McCabe Maxsted: and most of the patches from SG
[06:49 AM] JayR Cela: oh really / may I qoute you on this in my Blog please ?
[06:52 AM] JayR Cela: regardless / i am preparing a review of this viewer today / and its all good / on a 10 star rating i'm giving it a 9
[06:53 AM] McCabe Maxsted: \o/ :)!
[06:53 AM] McCabe Maxsted: and sure go for it
[06:53 AM] JayR Cela: yep check it out later on this afternoon
For my old Dell p4 I'm getting a really decent FPS of 10 to18, my p3 is averaging around 6 to 10, I
understand that the people out there with newer computers may find this funny, but SL is perfectly usable at 10 FPS depending on the Sim you are in.
So in all fairness to V2 fans I have to say, use what you prefer, if your a fashionista, you simply cannot beat V2 for the outfit feature, my partner Cathy loves Kirstens. If your a builder I think Emerald is a dead issue, and I am recommending Imprudence,
So I guess all I can say, is that I will wait for V2 to mature to the point that V1 has. If your looking for the best V1 viewer out there, then Imprudence is definitely worth a download, it run on Windows 7 ( you may need to set compatibility mode to Vista ) Mac OSX, and all versions of Linux 32, and 64 bit ( 64 bit may give you some problems with audio ) ( and I have never been able to get in world TV viewing to work on any Linux build ) Lol, that being said, if i want to watch TV, I certainly not going to do it in SL, besides the Treet TV fashion channel I find watching TV in SL to be a total waste of time.

understand that the people out there with newer computers may find this funny, but SL is perfectly usable at 10 FPS depending on the Sim you are in.
So in all fairness to V2 fans I have to say, use what you prefer, if your a fashionista, you simply cannot beat V2 for the outfit feature, my partner Cathy loves Kirstens. If your a builder I think Emerald is a dead issue, and I am recommending Imprudence,

SecondLife ( R ) GenderBending & Cross Species Avatars
Well I guess I'm running out of SL viewers to review, I am really looking forward to Hitomi's newest V2 skin. Hi there Hitomi *waves* lol. So I guess I'll just say something a lil bit different today, that has been getting on my nerves.
"In SL we are all just pixels on a screen" This is true, but there is an actual person behind those pixels, if he or she chooses to be a member of the Opposite Sex, or a Furry, a Dragon, or a Cardboard Box, so what !
Who are we to judge. If you have nothing good to say, perhaps is best to say nothing at all.

SecondLife (R) Imprudence Weekly Build 8-07-2010
The other day I reported, the Imprudence 1.3.0 RC was giving me problems with severe stuttering, on both Windows and Linux. Today I am very happy to announce the latest weekly build from the Imprudence team, and it kicks butt big time ! I'm getting an easy 12 to 18 FPS on my P4,however I don't seem to be able to get it to run on my P3 with Windows or Linux, and this is odd, because RC1 and the previous weekly build were able to load and run on both box's.
I'm not a coder, so I can only make assumptions, that some Lib's are out of whack. Sad state of affairs because this is a really great SL viewer.

SecondLife (R) What about Emerald ?
Ok I back for a rant, I believe this really needs to be said, Ive been a die-hard Emerald user for about a year now. However recently I have had numerous problems with this viewer, heres the kicker. I log in, and on my computer screen I appear fine, I can take a picture of myself, and look normal, I goto a club and get ejected, for being naked. This is not only embarrassing, but is also a real pain in the ass, trying to explain my situation to the club owners, or hostess.
And to top it off, the folks at Modular are completely silent, rumors have it that some of the devs have parted ways. This is a really sad state of affairs, I'm a builder in SL, and the Emerald viewer rocks for building. But I can not afford to ruin my reputation, being seen as running around naked in SL
For now I'm sticking with Kirsten's viewer, and looking forward to Hitomi's upcoming new version of StarLight.
Please give them both, your full support, and post here, any suggestions, idea's, whatever you can think of, lets keep it positive, both Kirsten and Hitomi are really dedicated, wonderful people. We need to stand behind them 110%

SecondLife (R) Viewer 2 / Kirstens S(20) Build (31) I'm in Love :_)
Hi again, I'm back to say the more I use Kirstens viewer the more I just love it, i have permanently put Emerald on the back burner, way to many problems with my Avatar showing up as a cloud, or naked on other people's screens, while on my screen, I look fine. I have even compared snapshots with friends, and on my screen I look OK and the snapshot's I take too, but on my friends screen I'm wearing my birthday suit ( naked )
Hell last week I was ejected from a well known SL blues - jazz club for being naked. But on my screen I was fully clothed, and so was my picture i took, the club owner took a picture and sure enough I was naked, and I just heard a rumor that several Emerald dev's have left the project, perhaps this is some sort of cruel childish prank or joke. What ever the case may be I'm sticking with Kirstens viewer. It's rock solid, fast and the best SL viewer out there. !!

SecondLife (R) OMG !!! my L$ are missing :(
Ok, I just have to address this problem that seems to be rather frequent lately, its happened to me twice in the past 2 weeks and my partner Cathy once. You log into SL and a large portion of your L$ are gone, or you get the dreaded loading message. Don't Panic, they are still there, it seems to be a glitch with Viewer 2 and switching back and forth from different viewers.
Just ask someone, a friend to pay you 1L$, and whaa-laaa, your L$ will be back to normal :_)

SecondLife (R) Kirstens & Starlight Combined ? Can the Camera control be fixed?
I was talking with Hitomi ( Starlight Skin ) & Kirsten today, apparently the two of them are about to work together on a new version of SL Viewer 2. From what I can gather, their are a number of major obstacles that need to be resolved. Personally I would like to see the camera control feature reverted back to the 1.25.3.xxx style, and the profile design as well. Currently both are a complete disaster
SecondLife (R)Viewer 2 Kirstens S(20) Build(31)
Hello everyone, I just finished talking with Kirsten about her new version of Viewer 2, Kirstens S(20) (31)
She was explaining to me that, this is not only just re-skin of Viewer 2, but an actual tightening up of the code.
All I can say is WOW !!
If you have been following my post's, her previous build (30) was running at about an average 5 or 6 FPS in my static tests. This new build (31) is pulling an easy 6 to 9 FPS with an average of about 8, please remember this is using very old hardware and a crappy ISP. I don't know how she does it, but if you are a SL Viewer 2 user, you owe it to yourself to download and install.
This SL Client ROCK's Big Time :_)
