hmm downtime blues…
inworld links hmmm
when are you done ?
and what are the new bugs ?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:42 AM
“Don’t forget to sign up for automatic in-world delivery of upcoming issues!”
Didn’t we do that when we made our accounts to begin with? Everyday I get issue after issue after issue and never had to subscribe to them specifically. FIX YOUR GIMPED CODE =P
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:43 AM
[Updated 12:00] Another new issue has been resolved, but deploying the fix and subsequent testing will take some additional time. We now expect the grid to open by 12:30
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:44 AM
Why is the post with maintenance and updates to, always pushed down from top of the blog? Could whoever updates the maintenance post make sure its bumped to the top of the blog as well?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:44 AM
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:45 AM
I am really happy that lindens are finding this before opening! Keep up the great work Linden Lab!
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Yes, we read about while we wait for it ^^
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:46 AM
@5 LOL Dig
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:46 AM
AHH! I’m about to die, I have an event @ 12pm slt! I pray you guys are up right then! Because sometimes the time you put is not the actual time you are back up!
/me crosses fingers and has high hopes. o.O
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:46 AM
Hey folks, don´t you think, to post first the news that you will open the grid a “little” later is much more important to the most here than some newsletters?! Well, maybe you do, during i am writing this, but seems a little tactics behind that, we are Lindens, no stupid folks
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:47 AM
Hmm, LL grabs their eraser and changes 11am to 12 noon thinking no one notices and no forum post over the past 40 minutes or prior letting us know things are running behind schedule.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:47 AM
@2 IIRC signing up for automatic in-world delivery of the newsletter was optional.
I personally have never received the newsletter in-world.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:47 AM
There goes our Wednesday party again.
Ok, i am already used to it, if there is told that SL comes back at 11 am, it is mostly an hour later. Sometimes more, about 1 and a half or 2 hours. But more is also not very rare
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Well…neat. Keep it up.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:48 AM
well im glad to see somethings working and thank you iridium for the update on this and for everyone whos giving this linden a hard time back off she is one of the very few who will sit down and take the time to talk to you evenw ith ehr busy schdule out of all the lindens she is one of the very few cool so pick on one of the ignorant ones
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:48 AM
ARGH! why do you guys do this EVERY week…sooooo annoying . Just get it sorted now…..please ! lol
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:48 AM
HOOOOOOO!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:50 AM
!stand Kure
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Give us a later time & come on early….instead of pushing maintenance time back. lol
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Oh how fun. A newsletter.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:50 AM
Yawns….. wags his tail…. looks at LL with BIG eyes… is it open yet?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 AM
I fully appreciate your maintainance efforts but I am irritated by features like the newsletter when the core functionality of SL is in such a bad state.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 AM
Im praying that itll actually be back at 12 lol .
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 AM
How long will it be till its open, AFTER they say its going to be open?? Any takers on that one haha. I think LL is doing a great job, now just if we could log in and have everything there that we loged out with. Might be nice. We can cry about down time and all, but I do think there doing a great job. These things are expected and they handle them. I get mad when I crash out of game as well and have lag when there should be none. But on the great days where it goes smooth (not allot of those) it makes it all worth it
Keep up the good work LL
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 AM
all im saying, is amen dig wt.g. l.l. **==
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:51 AM
We stopped holding events on wendsdays, period. Even after it comes back up, lag is hel as everyone surges on to get their sl fix, and things often as not go all glitched anyway.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 AM
When I woke up, it said 11.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Where’s our pie while we wait?! >:O
Welcome to the internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are the FBI.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 AM
:/ Please be done soon. I haven’t gotten my fix for today. xD
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:53 AM
Wow - a newsletter… this has to be one of the worst timings ever. Can we have the grid back up first before asking us to read the news while we are bored?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:54 AM
Mussi denn musi denn bluesi zum SL Städle hinaus ….
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:54 AM
Please, please, please, please, please, PLEEEAAASSSSSSSE, EVEN PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON THE TOP AND MOUNTAINS OF SUGAR, Hurry up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:54 AM
How can we schedule OUR appoitments on SL if you say 11am, later you say 12pm… maybe soon you’ll say 1pm who knows??
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:54 AM
You know, if the bugs were fixed before Second Life actually went up and online, or if they actually tested the code with a fake, hidden Second Life on a much smaller scale for any errors, then we wouldn’t really deal with it… but yeah, the newsletter is a good idea.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
I will not post about all the other blatantly obvious issues at hand, because the are… blatantly. obvious.
That being said, you folks over at LL have got to try harder to please get the correct time zone on these blog posts. I understand, that sometimes it can be difficult to do the math, what with you being in Pacific Time and SL being in SL Time, which is …wait, Pacific Time? wtf??
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Well, it’s nice that the previous time (11:00) has been pushed way further
Hope, it will come back at 12:00
I am missing my SLingo session
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Great stuff! The HET grid sounds like a winner
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
@10 Some people can’t code. I know I can’t. Some people have to be working on fun stuff neh?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
Newsletter…..what a waste of linden resources.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:55 AM
——————————————————————————

TEEN GRIDDERS RULE

Roger, hast du Elvis zum Frühstück gegessen ?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Linden keep up the good work. I can live if SL is not on I got a rl ……………LOL
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Wow…I just signed up yesterday and now can’t get on..does this happen often?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:57 AM
oh and one more thing, im a computer tech and ive learned, when u go into a server to fix one thing, u find other, as well as when u fix one problem, u run into several more, thank god for l.l. and the effort they put into it other wise wed all still be playing pac- man (not saying theres any thing wrong w/ the pac) ;P
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:57 AM
with LL it’s to be expected they say one thing and do something else they say 11am but really mean 12pm of course they really mean 1pm they just keep pushing it back.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:57 AM
lmao. i love reading the comments on this stuff. some ppl are just like !@#$%^* omg sl is still down? havin withdrawals n stuff. chill out ppl. log onto the beta if u need an sl fix. im gonna start a group in-world called SL Junkies. lmfao
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:57 AM
I mean really.. Pushing down the MAINTENANCE blog… to give us links for thing In-world.. yeah.. way to go. Make people even more annoyed with the downtime that’s already going on by posting in-world links. =|
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Mind giving the subscription base some idea of what bugs you found while trying to fix the existing bugs and errors on the existing grid?
Did you fix the chat lag?
Did you fix the lag spikes?
Did you fix the missing inventory bugs?
Did you resolve the issue of the land market now being flooded?
Paying customers wanna know.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Hasta los webs de tantas caídas por mantenimiento en SL: nunca son en nuestras horas de sueño y además NO cumplen los horarios. Por qué no dicen directamente que van a tardar una o dos horas más? Al final sí se va a tratar de las 7 horas de las que se hablaba al principio
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:58 AM
Second Life Maintenance [COMPLETE]
[RESOLVED] Second Life Website Partially Online
[RESOLVED] Phone support lines temporarily down
[RESOLVED] Search temporarily down
[RESOLVED] Login issues
[RESOLVED] Temporary service outage
[RE-RESOLVED] Service outages in approximately 200 regions
[Resolved] Second Life Support Portal Restored
Didnt we agree last week that all problems are solved now ?
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:58 AM
The solution is really pretty simple; close the books on membership. The system has OBVIOUSLY reached its its peak. I don’t think SL should allow anymore new accounts (including anymore ALTs) until the system is able to handle at least 250,000 simultaneous users; anything less and you’re just beating a dead horse. Regardless of how many millions have TRIED SL (apparently nearing 9 million) whats important is how many can function at one time on the system. It appears 35,000 is the top of that scale and anytime we go over that we start to see major problems. So, to summarize, SL is a pretty much a world with 40,000 people in it… period. Don’t expect things to get any better under the current conditions.
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:59 AM
Suggestion: close the grid EVERY wednesday. and if everything is working fine, Lindens can have free time instead. Could be motivating
August 22nd, 2007 at 11:59 AM
its cool to have a newsletter but i personaly think that there are more major issues that should be worked out before working on those things but i LOVE the great work keep doing well lol i hope it stops at 12
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Uhm Chaves… ur a lil dominating xD… \_ () \_…
but ur right anyway… we cant get even 1 airplane airborne. atleast 20! =S there we go! our Squadron getting killed!
or… eeh… what ever…. Anny Girl with a club online here??¿¿
I WANT SOME FUN NOT THAT STOME MAINTINANCE STUFF! >=P
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:00 PM
graaaaaaa hurry up or i’ll kill someone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!gnagnaganaganagaaaaaaaaaa
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:00 PM
lol @ 21
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 PM
At 15…
Sl time is sl time.
It now say’s 12 so it’s 12.
Sl time is also california time, iff that’s more easy.
Even i know the times And I’m from Holland.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 PM
SL always seems to take way longer than they suggest they will to be offline.
+_+_ * * * * * * * * Can we have a RULE that NO person be allowed to post to these blog responses more than 3 times. I saw one person post 15 times to one which meant 15 people were unable to give their response. It’s as though they treat it like a chat program. DOH !!! Get real !!! As both a Super Mod & Admin of several forums, I would implement such a rule when only 100 responses are allowed to these blogs. SO please keep user responses down to a maximum of 3 … or even two. Some people are really selfish & thoughtless (else do it deliberately!!!) ******* O _ o
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 PM
@Nicolle
Need a third life??
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 PM
@ Firefly
you have allways think on Wednesday about downtimes.
happend often as far i know lol i don´t do something on Wednesday just relaxing with my love ^^
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:01 PM
Great now you just gave them ideas good job
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Blues??? Okay, I pay for a premium account, every down time make me not be able to go online. So part of my investisment in second life is lost. I don’t call that blues, I call that being financially realist. A good grid should have the following point:
1. It should have been constructed as each region is independant.
2. Each regions sould be able to comunicate using several different route.
3. Each regions should be located in different part of the Real world so it ad redudency.
4. The support team should not be at all cost at the same location. They should be in different part of the world so client could call all the time. Like you divide the globe in 4 part, it will make the service avalable all the time with a 8 hours shift.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Please.. for the love of all that is holy… PLEASE! Fix the inventory issues! I have lost thousands of $L in stuff that has just disappeared from my inventory. Of course, I’ve managed to keep all the freebie crap ..it’s just the good stuff that disappears. Where does it go??
Fix the voice program. It works for me for a while then.. POOF! nothing. It just goes down. There is no consistency in it. It’s not my hardware. That’s all new and in perfect working condition.
Fix the teleportirng issues. Several of my friends crash if and when they teleport to anywhere. If they don’t crash, they freeze. What’s up with that?
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:02 PM
Isn’t it funny how on the SL newsletter it shows land sales at an all time LOW even though they said that eliminating the gaming world would not affect the SL economy.. well, I guess it does hurt the little man, doesn’t it? Fancy that..
But once again, the large network of corporations upholding SL win again because the little man has no say in the “local” laws.. funny how SL is a lot like RL at times..
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:02 PM
GUYS!!!! YOU ARE BEHIND SCEDULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
“check out our view on the new features vs. bug fixes debate”
im very curious what they have to say on this
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
so, its like 4 min past 12AM PDT..
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
You all are dorks just do something else for the day, like work!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
I’m shocked to see how many people weren’t expecting a shut down when its been an every Wednesday event pretty much for as long as I have been here (Dec 2006)
Downtime blues? Yeah I have them, they force me to spend money doing other things instead
I think there should be some kind of forum or message board the residents could use to post comments and suggestions and rants instead of just hoping for an open blog page to post such things on.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
I hope its a really BIG newsletter, my guts tells me.. I gonna need it
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Now it says 12:15! LOL!!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 PM
please! i dont want to watch football!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Why can’t you all find something else to do then wait for the grid to open up. I suggest go to work and stop sitting on your pc.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 PM
When I went to login because I thought they might be back up:
August 22, 2007, 12:01 pm August 22, 2007, 12:01 pm We are still down for maintenance. We expect to be back up at 12:15 SLT (PST)
O RLY?
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Begins to Gowl!! Noon come and gone LL… Idid you find my missing inventory yet?? because I havnt!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:04 PM
We are still down for maintenance. We expect to be back up at 12:15 SLT (PST) i knew they would say sumthing like this -_-
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:05 PM

August 22nd, 2007 at 12:05 PM
don’t
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:05 PM
I dont know about you.. I dont care about anymore news and shit. I would just be so so happy if SL was lag free and going for just maybe.. 1 week? That would be awesome, like the good olé days before Lindens started poking too hard… I just want one… week.. of no crashes or lagspikes… *sighs* Well.. just open now.. im dying here >,>
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
think
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
*taps wristwatch*
Guess I’ll read the newsletter… nicely timed distraction, LL.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
VIVA LA LIBERACION!!!!
or something
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
please all whiners and eropea-ons leave SL for good TY
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
What about date this 12:15 SLT will be?
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Grrrr Typonese Sorry
COME LL BLOG UPDATES ARE A GOOD THING.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
I am somewhat happy that the lindens are starting to work a little harder on the maintenance but I think these problems need to be solved a little faster. So many problems normally. Hurry up please!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
people
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
We are still down for maintenance. We expect to be back up at 12:15 SLT (PST)
O RLY ?? you gotta speed up all you folks behind the screens.. please
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
WAHHHHH…imma pitch a fit ….honestly ….it’s not pretty…..lol noone’s listening….I WANNA PLAYYYY
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
I know it’s an inconvenience, sometimes an expensive inconvenience to some people, but I wouldn’t care if they shut down for a whole day if all the problems would get fixed. Actually FIXED!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Ok.. 12 has past.
There goes my love life whahahaha lmao.
I agree with the inventory stuff.
I’m a shopper lost a lott.
didn’t come back with cache cleaing, it’s a fortune what you loose.
I work hard for my money, Iff I buy smething I wanna wear it with both sleeves and not one missing
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
We expect to be back up at 12:15 SLT (PST)
Is this going to continue?
The newsletter post is so ridiculus during such grid problem fixing like this.
Please stop <____<
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
The grid will be down for 2, no, 3, uh-oh…..
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
do
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Taps Feet , Looks at watch
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
@ #26 Nicolle…. Aren’t they always behind schedule?! *L* I don’t think I’ve EVER seen LL have the grid back up and running by the predicted time.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
I am somewhat happy that the lindens are starting to work a little harder on the maintenance but I think these problems need to be solved a little faster. Hurry up please!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:07 PM
OK I will admit I am annoyed as many here.. but come on… they probably do have uncovered a huge issue here… You know, I would rather be sitting here trying to get in for the last hour, then LL opening up too soon and have like 300 regions down for a week because they did not do any QA on the work accomplished…. Yeah I wish they would hurry up.. But darnit… cut them some slack.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
that
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Yeah i lost inventory too

August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
is that new voice feature ( that promotes analfabetism ) the root cause for the new chatlag ?
if not… what is the root cause for the chat lag ?
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM

August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
@ Tim , Totally agree with you
They seriously need a SL chat room LMFAO
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Peh… I look away for about 5 minutes… Go get a sandwich… And Second Life is still down. At least i got a bit of something done today. Migt as well ride my bike and get some exercise, haven’t done that for about a day or so.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:08 PM
Nice newsletter. Always interesting to see what other people find interesting.
Please ignore the people who think that the newsletter is a big waste of time. They seem to think that EVERYONE at LL is a programmer and should be working on the software.
I guess I’ll have to wait, though, to try some of the links posted in the newsletter.
Keep up the good work.
-From one programmer of complex systems to the LL programmers.-

August 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Ow no! not another maintenance downtime!This siriously getting annoying, please LL fix it so we can all get back on! PLEASE I BEG YOU!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 PM
I always have the downtime blues…
there can’t be a day without any problems in SL
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Now the main page says they are changing the time to 12:15 but don’t see that in the blog!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
It would be best if they say “Large problem has been found and we will be down till 1800 to repair it” not feed us 15 min cookies at a time so we are all on edge!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
lol cloud….at least it seems we can chat here……another blog chat episode..helps pass the time
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
waiting for 12.15 to come and go…………….yawn
Muhahahah
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
Maybe you should stop posting things to take peoples minds off of the grid being down for and hour but oh wait its now 2 hours what next 3? 4 maybe?
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
@ 30 Rich, if you didnt notice it, a newsletter is at least some real “unimportant” thing now…and yes, sure many of us know already that it takes longer everytime. So, imagine, a job you get paid for, but you always or very often come too late to your job. How long you mean you have that job, ha?
And another thing: better make Linden Lab motivating, that those issues which are big can be fixed finally…all you write is a slimy love-letter to Linden Lab…not very helpfull man, they are already RICH & “HAPPY”!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
My Psychiatrist has refused to continue to treat me unless I stop Second Life. She says shes tired of me paying them all that money every month for a service that don’t work half the time and adding to my mental distress. She said that money could buy me 3 whole hours with her instead of me only getting the 5 minutes I can afford now.
Thank god the Newsletter is out. Now I have some thing to read while waiting in the offices when out looking for a new Therapists.
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM
As per usual, the grid downtime has lasted longer than what it should’ve been..
GET IT OPEN!
August 22nd, 2007 at 12:10 PM

@50:

Call it intuition.

@7 IIRC signing up for automatic in-world delivery of the newsletter was optional.
@2 was making a joke.
But seriously, in-world delivery of the newsletter is not only optional, it doesn’t work.

Okay .. picking on someone else’s use of English in a multi-national space is not something I would normally do .. but honestly!
By the editor (one assumes)
“It is my view that the New Features vs. Bug Fixing juxtaposition misunderstands the issue and unfairly totalizes the detriment of features to the platform, in part because many new features are designed to optimize overarching performance.”
What language is this written in? My mother-tongue is English and it is non-sense to me. What chance would the many residents whose English is not entirely fluent stand? Surely the purpose of a newsletter is to *communicate* not *obfuscate* (looks forward to seeing that last word in a future editorial). Please employ a sub-editor if needed to rewrite this exotic prose in basic English.

you know complaining about the grid not being up is not goin to get it up any faster… There are more things to do in life than sit on your fat arses and complain cause a virtual world is not up n runnin…
