Many thanks for letting us know Delta!, i know *exactly* what the situation is like hope things calm down again soon.
I hope you manage to get all that pesky ‘real life’ stuff dealt with with the minimum of stress and pressure :)
In the meantime, your development of SLeek is much appreciated and remains the only reliable way for some of us to log in to SL when not at our main PCs.
Amen to all the comments! This thing is fantastic! I mentioned it today on Advanced Scripters of Second Life and you may have taken a surge in queries about it. I plan on checking out the latest from SVN and hack on a bit. Have you considered getting it up on sourceforge or someplace like that? If not, and you do plan to be away for a while, maybe starting and managing a project there is the way to go. Let me know your thoughts, should probably agree to some course before forking this BSD-licensed project. Cheers!
I agree with shogunvella. SLeek is one of the most promising and clever lightweight SL clients I’ve seen thus far.
I love SLeek… I think it’s perfect for what I want. A no graphic, low lag client that I can log into SL with from the office - where the internet is slower than a sleeping turtle trying to climb Mt. Everest.
What I’d like to be able to do further is::
- see group chat
- receive notices
- receive offline IMs
and not so important but still nice::
- perhaps even send out notices to groups (where I have the ability)….
- oh, oh… and also to transfer items - at least to people on my friends list.
I love SLeek. I’m tempted to try some C# now so I can contribute.
i work on this source and add some functionality to your client. but i dont know how could i send this to you,
Awwh please don’t let this be another abandonware project, you started well, let us all finish it please?
Its a lot of work but its got potential, I was hoping to use it for inventory sorting without the hassle of the kludgy SL interface but theres no moving writing or folder creation yet, plus we cant see the objects perms.
Obviously this would be addressed in future updates but if theres no more work coming on then someone else will have to start from the ground up (unless you the owner gift us all the source - you know it makes sense : )
Just so all of you know, the “circumstances beyond my control” he mentioned have escalated, and thus Delta will not be available by any means until further notice. Please don’t take it that he’s abadoned SLeek.
I hope Delta is fine. And I agree, SLeek is too good to be abandonware. Count me in if it moves to sourceforge.
Is there a way to get the latest revision? I tried the instructions; http://code.google.com/p/sleek/source and get an error.
Nevermind - I was trying to use TurtleSVN on Windows, maybe there needed to be some different URL syntax for it. I used SVN on a Linux box and it came down fine.
I find my Sleek disconnected after a few mins, with no message given. Other then that its way cool..
i got the same problem sleek disconnetcs after 10 minutes!
Anyone has an idea why?
let’s just make a similar client using the source code and start a project on sourceforge.. this is ridiculous, please someone do it, make another sleek type client
if i would know how i would do it :-)
but i am female and blond :P
Hi Delta,
This is my last email to you.
I emailed you aprox 8 month ago and haven’t heard anything since. You either didn’t receive my email or you didn’t think it’s worth your while to reply. If later is the case please forgive me for disturbing you.
You had abandoned SLeek which I saw a great potential in. I picked it up and gave it life. I am not doing what I do for money. If you have follwed METAbolt at all you would know that is the case.
The way I see things is that this is opensource and it is not about me, you or anyone else. I do what I do for experience, challenge and to input into the future of this technology. The technology that I see as being the future of the Internet…3D.
I read your post about your new project in WFP which is great and I totally respect…but at this stage (in MS) don’t you think that is ALL “interface” and not much else?
I acknowledge now as I have always done, you are a great talent and I can never take that away from you (not that I want to). You have created SLeek and I have brought METAbolt to where it is. We can really take this project to areas beyond our current imagination.
I would love it if we could find a way of joining forces. Your talent and creativity would be invaluable.
Please think about it.
Thx
Legoals Luke
P.S. If you don’t answer you will never hear from me. I apologise again for the inconvenience if that is the way you feel.
That wasn’t meant to be a post on this site LOL. But hell whatever :)
since metabolt only runs on windows it’s going to have limited acceptance anyway, so don’t get all worked up.
publish the reference (link) for download last version,
please
thanks

Hello i am a SL developer and would like to know if you are letting out the source for SL eeK i would like to use it in a RP Project in SL.
If it is open source could you e-mail me a copy of the code you have, i will not remove any Copyright you want and will give you credit for the source.
Thank you

Very sad… the development seemed very promising.
I’d wish you could publish your latest svn-trunk though, so we can experiment in the meantime with some ideas (mainly integrating functionality of ghettosl and libsl’s testclient).
All the best, and hoping to have you soon back,
shogunvella
