Since Linden Lab can’t get the first Second Life right, IBM has been selected to be the lab rats for the Second Second Life. In what is being described as an “enterprise-class virtual world”, Linden Lab wants to try to convince companies that Second Life doesn’t actually suck. The fact is, just because they have […]

It looks like Second Life is taking steps to protect itself against dilution of copyright a bit too late, now. The new Second Life Brand Center explains all of the ways that people will no longer be able to use the words “Second Life”, “2nd Life”, “Your World, Your Imagination”, and even the acronym “SL”. […]

Well, less than a month after my “Slightly Less Suck” post, it looks like Linden Lab is back to the same old crap on their blog that they had, before. Out of 15 posts on their front page, only 7 of then actually have comments enabled… actually less than that, since some of them only […]

Imagine going to the Second Life web site and creating a new account. During the signup process, you’re asked if you’d like to find friends from RL that are in SL. Sounds a little harmless if you just ask that question, so suppose that you decide to take advantage of the new feature and you’re […]

I wouldn’t normally post something like this, but since this is the first time ever that it’s happened, I wanted to make a point of mentioning it. Today is the first time that a trackback from this site has been deleted from the official Second Life blog. I sent a trackback from the previous post, […]

If anybody needs just one reason to quit paying to “play” Second Life, this is the reason. Not only does the viewer and the grid that it runs on act like beta software, but the company that gets all of the money keeps asking us to help them with their beta crap.
“If you have time, […]

Throughout the problems of the past couple weeks, I do have to honestly say that the updates that the Linden’s are giving on their blog have actually been pretty good. They seem to be responding more in the comments, and answering questions that people are throwing at them… at least a couple of them, anyway.
Even […]

It looks like the Lindens are even causing an inconvenience for themselves, as the recent “redeploy” took longer than expected. It’s about time, don’t you think? The Lindens have an event scheduled and are unable to host the event because of problems on the grid… something that their paying customers experience all too often. The […]

While looking through the Economic Statistics for Second Life, this morning, I noticed something that seemed a little odd. In the last graph, titled “L$ Sources and Sinks”, the is a description for “Stipends”. The figure for the sources (or the amount paid to residents by LL for January 2008 was L$165,319,050. Breaking this number […]

About 20 hours after residents first reported that they had downloaded the new 1.19.0.0 Release Candidate viewer, and were told that they needed to revert back to version 1.18.6.4, Chiyo Linden finally got around to posting something on the official blog. TWENTY HOURS!!
UPDATED: Sometime in the 3 hours after I posted this, Frontier Linden updated […]

What’s happened this week has a lot more people realizing that Linden Lab has no concern for the majority of their customers. Things like storing persistent data in the description field and using “pipe” character have been relatively commonplace, and the latest “upgrade” makes any object that depends on that unusable. The persistent data in […]
