“It is taking a while for the system to recover from the stress of today’s earlier problems. That means for the next few hours you may experience intermittent problems with teleports, rezzing objects, scripts, transactions, appearance etc.”

Ohhh it means SL is still CRAP ! Get a real life !
And get lost with your SILLY SL That never works !!!!!!!!!

Space Wide Awake Rockett.

Somehow, between that reality and the actual reality in-world there’s a huge gap.

It’s got to be painfully embarrassing to be quoted in a month-old transcript, “We no longer take the grid down when we push new versions of the simulator software,” while on the very same day Moe, Curly, and Larry Linden are doing an unplanned rolling restart for that very reason…and on a FRIDAY to boot.

There is some kind of problem with execution of the grand plan. Perhaps it’s lack of programmer oversight, or inadequate procedures, or some other internal cultural dysfunction.

This is evident in watching how many things come about, or don’t happen as they should.

A couple examples: Since Voice was added to the experience (against the majority’s wishes) the oversized box on my screen that shows the IM conversation has undergone multiple subtle changes. First the awful left-hand tabs came and went. Then the box can’t be shrunk as much as it once could.

Then the wonderful meters one could glance at when things began to act funny or laggy disappeared and was replaced with a redundant “search” field.

All this code-fiddling seems to be ill-thought out and unsupervised. It’s as if anyone in the coding group can get a wild hair and add their own untested viewer code, so there’s no telling what is causing problems.

If this is going on with the viewer UI, which I can see, I can only imagine that it is just as much a “anything goes” code slinging on the server side bringing the current chaos of this very day.

I am actually optimistic about where Joe Miller wants to take us. I’m less optimistic about how it is being executed, and while I don’t know that it’s Joe’s responsibility to supervise what gets put into the code, or whether he’s job is overview planning, the egg today is on his face and if I were him, I’d be concerned about putting a stop to the “Wild West” way things are being done in his name.

Finally, I want to thank catherinelinden for leaving this thread open for comments, like some others today ought to have been.

However don’t forget the big things too: I’ve had a lot of script problems since the server update just, broken vendors and now you can’t even copy asset UUIDs from inventory items. While the little things are nice, the big things make the real difference still.

@15(les) - Yes, it does sound like 2006 all over again, or as RAW had one of his characters say in one of my favorite books ever : “Same bleeding nonsense all over again”.

Best of luck in realizing future goals, LL!
