Power and Temperature Orbs in OpenSim and SecondLife

March 17th, 2009

For reasons unknown to me I started to play around with OpenSim on Reactiongrids Servers in the Homecamp sim. Having never used anything like OpenSim or SecondLife before Chris Dalby(www.twitter.com/yellowpark) gave me my own office

I had NO idea what to do next. So i made a sphere and put it on a desk.

Now pachube have posted a guide for linking their feeds into opensim using HTTPRequests. (http://community.pachube.com/?q=node/82)  Following their careful guide I Produced this.orbsfinal

The text at the top  gets updated with pachube, and the colour changes depending on the values from the data feeds.

If anyone is interested they are visible in ReactionGrids Homecamp Sim look for this Office.
