Sleek, Lightweight SecondLife Client
Posted on March 17th, 2007 in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »
Sleek is a mini-client that connects to the Second Life main grid. It’s useful for situations where you want to be in-world, but don’t want to have the huge overhead of the graphics engine.
Currently, SLeek has the ability to send and receive chat, send and receive IMs, do people search, teleport, read inventory, write inventory (create and delete folders), follow avatars, and display LL’s web-based login page.

I’ve had a play with SLeek and it works quite well (as far as it goes). Profiles and online-status of other residents don’t work, but the inventory, chat and IM functions work fine. My biggest observation is that using SLeek is like being blind! You are aware of people nearby, and can speak to them, but have no idea what they look like. Similarly, you have no idea about your surroundings either. So your avatar could be making a fool of you whilst you are in world via SLeek.
