QHUD v5.00 Topaz Series, aka Quantum Topaz HUD, or QThud for short!
The QHUD v5.00 'Topaz Series' is a totally new product written from scratch to take advantage of all the new scripting functions that have been added since QHUD v4 was originally designed.
QHUD v5.00 is as different from QHUD v4.00 as QHUD v4.00 was from the original Quantum Core v3.00.
QThud has a nice low script time usage of 0.022ms and less than 400k of memory usage! My goal here was to make QThud into a HUD you can use anywhere without some 'crybaby' telling you to take it off.
The initial release of QHUDv5 will only go to the 2,164 people who have donated using their QHUD prior to Friday the 13th of January 2012. I decided it is only fair to reward those who have supported me.
In case your wondering, those blue crystals I use in the shields are Topaz, my favourite gem stone. Thus the name Topaz Series.

EDIT: Corrected a decimal point error in the script time usage above. Actual raw script time is 0.0000022µs, or 0.0022ms as it shows in estate time statistics.

Real World Griefer Banned
I would like to say "thank you" to the USA for making the world safer by getting rid of that evil man.I have nothing but admiration for those brave people who gave their life to protect us from him.

Call me a griefer one more time
You know what really offends me about random people messaging me and saying stuff like : "stop griefing me".
It's not that they are stupid enough to have messaged the creator instead of the owner.
It's not that they argue with me, insisting that I did it.
It's that they think I would have gotten caught griefing them in the first place!!!

Going where no griefer has gone before...
I met William Shatner last night in Melbourne! I spent the night listening to him talk about his exceptional life. I even scored myself a copy of his new book "Up until Now" which I am already enjoying.
William wasn't anything like those stories you hear about Hollywood actors. He is a warm, friendly, approachable, father figure who seemed to enjoy poking fun at himself.
William didn't just talk about his rolls in things like StarTrek and Boston Legal, he shared everything from personal tragedies to delightful stories about taking his children skying.
Listening to him I found myself wanting to go up and hug the man, then I remembered the Denny Crane character and I backed away slowly :)
I enjoyed the night immensely and would highly recommend spending a night with William Shatner if you ever have the opportunity. He changed my life. Like William, I will now be saying YES before I answer the phone too.
Thank you for coming to my city so I could meet you.
Love to you Mr Shatner xQx
PS. The only disappointing thing about the whole night is that not one single person turned up dressed in a StarTrek costume. Nerds of Melbourne, shame on you!

NeilLife - The untold Story
Back in 2009 a school kid by the name of Neil decided to sell a TPV (Third Part Viewer) program called NeilLife that was designed to facilitate theft of EVERYTHING in Second Life.
This viewer could open no-mod scripts, it could make a no-copy object copyable, and a no-transfer object transferable. Basically it let people alter the permissions on anything at all.
The NeilLife viewer was advertised by distributing content that was stolen using the NeilLife viewer itself. Neil used his viewer to make popular and expensive products full permission. He then renamed the full permission copy of the product to include "stolen by NeilLife" in its name, before distributing them for free to as many people as he could.
Example: The no-transfer "QHUD" became a full permissions item called "QHUD - stolen by NeilLife".
I first saw a stolen copy of my QHUD in June 2009. It was set to full permission and was being distributed all over the grid for free. I immediately purchased a copy of NeilLife from Neil for $500 US Dollars. The copy of NeilLife I purchased was uploaded to Cogsworth Linden the very same day.
Many Lindens were kept busy for several months analysing the NeilLife viewer. They extracted every single permissions exploit, hack, and dirty trick Neil had put in it. The Lindens rolled out many new server versions in late 2009/early 2010 to close the exploits used by the NeilLife viewer.
As I had purchased a legitimate registered copy of Neil's viewer, the Lindens were able to get upgrades, beta versions, and access all of Neil's customer support.
I remember one of the Lindens having a laugh about rolling out a fix for a permission exploit the day before Neil was due to make it available in an upgrade to his viewer.
All this was going on silently in the background long before publications like the AlphavilleHerald broke the story on content theft in late October 2009. ( http://alphavilleherald.com/2009/10/stolen-goods-freeforall-at-burning-life.html )
I would like to thank Cogsworth Linden, Oskar Linden, Andrew Linden, and Fred Rookstown, among others for working together to prevent theft from hard working creators all over Second Life. We all owe them all a debt of gratitude for helping to protect the products we worked so hard to create.
Today I tried to rally support for a JIRA to add additional protection to scripts. I was met by resistance from an ignorant person who had no clue all this had been happening. I realized it was time for the untold story to be told.
Your support for Write-Only script protection would be very much appreciated: Vote & Watch this JIRA. https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-6149
