Vendors Disappearing?

If I have (or rather, had) vendors in your location recently that have suddenly disappeared yesterday or today, it’s not because I’m no longer interested in having them there.
The actual reason is that the new server rollout that Linden Lab is doing is resetting the scripts in my vendors for some reason.  When that happens, [...]

Is it just me, or is Second Life unusable lately?

Every time I’ve logged in for the past three days, I see nothing but grey everywhere I look.  Almost no textures will download, almost nothing will rez, and chat/IM is basically unusable.
I rezzed several objects yesterday (a vendor, some weapons, etc.), and wasn’t able to even see them until today.  Even now, they are grey [...]

The bullshit of outage language

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a software developer during my day job, and I read a lot of related blogs.  Like the blog for today’s subject (whose post title I blatantly stole), I will occasionally find one that fits Second Life well enough that I want to bring it to SL enthusiasts attention despite [...]

Second Life network problems – Taketori Sales Offline

In the last 15 minutes, I’ve gotten 30+ emails from my in-world vendors and various user’s swords that indicate that Second Life objects are failing to contact my web server, so I have temporarily disables sales once again.
This weekend, I will be removing all in-world Wave Katana vendors in preparation for switching over to [...]

Taketori sales halted until further notice

Due to Second Life being full of fail and the Lindens taking several hours to finally even notice the problem, I’ve disabled all sales of the Taketori Katana until further notice.
Once I’m convinced that Second Life has returned to some semblance of stability, and that people can no longer continue to take advantage of the [...]

Second Life down for 12 hours :(

Well guys, ever since Aimee and Kasumi provided me with some good evidence of a balance issue in the new weapon, I’ve been trying to get you an update, but Second Life has been down for 12 hours now, and shows no signs of ever getting fixed
Even during the brief times it was [...]

Notecard is missing from database

I’ve been thinking about some ideas and comments recently brought up by the conversation on C:SI and animation overrides, and I’ve decided two important things:

I’m going to personally switch to the ZHAO-II AO.  I’ve looked at the code, and it’s much cleaner than the previous ZHAO and uses less scripts (which was, of course, one [...]

Havok™ 4 has a *long* way to go

Well, after a couple of days of dealing with a Havok™ 4 Early Adopter sim, I’m fairly confidently able to say that the Havok™ 4 program is absolutely not ready for "prime time".
It’s bad enough that the physics are sufficiently different as to cause problems for C:SI combat, but even non-physical things are borked.  For [...]

Resolved, but not really – Business As Usual at LL

I can’t even count the number of times that Linden Lab® has announced problems with the Asset Servers (hours after real people notice the problem first) followed by a [RESOLVED] notice.  Today is one of those days, and there have been several other related issues and non-factual [RESOLVED] posts this last week alone.
And yet….

I’ve [...]
