Age Verivication BS
Malignant Narcissist @ December 23, 2007 # No Comment Yet
The new “age verification” system that Linden Lab put in place a couple months back has been said to not work. LL hasn’t really said a whole lot on this, but since they are moving forward with the plans of rolling it out to everybody, it seems that they think it’s enough.
So, now that age […]

One step Forward - Two steps Back

More than a week after Apple fixed the problems with streaming media flaw which is said to have allowed arbitrary code to be passed within the stream, letting bad guys take your L$ and more, Linden Lab finally posted about it on their blog. Was a new viewer really needed for this fix? I thought […]

Raul Crimson seems to be surprised that the service quality metrics for SL look so bad, even though he admits that ΒΌ of all of his sessions crash, normally.
Unplanned outages replacing planned outages. 25% of viewer sessions crashing. Yet, people still continue to throw money at them, each month for this level of service. There’s […]

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to spend your time in the real world, trying to spread to gospel, rather than “studying” how religion will evolve in a virtual world? Why would you try to research something that you really wouldn’t be able to get any honest answers from, anyway? All of the research would […]

While one company can be very successful in “thinking different”, it looks like there’s not a lot of room for that at Linden Lab. Over the past couple days, I’ve been watching the half-rumors and sorta-facts come out about the firing of Cory Ondrejka. It seems as though he “was” fired, rather that resigning his […]

Another Day (A Tuesday!) Without SL
Malignant Narcissist @ December 11, 2007 # 2 Comments
Once again, residents of Second Life will probably go a whole day without access to something that they’re paying for. Over the past couple days, it’s been pretty crappy, anyway, from what I hear. Not only is the grid getting the supposed “upgrades”, but registration, LindeX, and the Land Store will be taken off line, […]

Relationships Getting Sucked

About a year ago, Wendy posted “Does anyone hate Second Life?“. Since then, it’s been getting a slow but steady flow of comments. The comments on this post are one of the main reasons that you’ll want to go read it.
One thing that I’ve noticed is that most of the people in the comments that […]
