brinda Allen (she has a nice blog btw) commented on the iliveisl blog post about what a membership is worth and brought up an interesting perspective. it’s probably obvious to many, but it was a different thought to me. basically (i think) what brinda was saying is that you can’t gauge what Linden Lab is working on [...]

what is a premium membership worth
i know what you get as a premium second life member – a Linden Home (my home sim seems to be gone? have not been able to hit it the last 3 times i logged in), the right to put in a support ticket (lol eh? the right to point out a bug!), and the right [...]
LL running 8 regions to a sim?
maybe someone can explain this to me and other blog readers what this means: Mainland Simulators now running 8 full regions it seems as if LL is doubling up regions? i always thought one full region ran on one core of the server? so 4 regions to a chip? but that post seems to say [...]
call me old-fashioned (about virtyual wo…
call me old-fashioned (about virtual worlds) but when i see the write up on the new chief financial officer for Linden Lab, i would so love to see something in there like “i love what virtual worlds can be and find them engrossing”. i dunno, something to say that the dude thinks Second Life is [...]
Linden Lab hates to say thank you
you know, we have been back in forth in how we feel about Linden Labs – sometimes we go on about how awesome they are and sometimes we think they blow o_O well, typically when we think they blow is after they have done something that has pissed off peeps – the openspace thing, the [...]
did you see the new free land thing from Linden
now don’t get all excited but you know how you can have 512 square metres of land without a monthly tier right? as a premium member, you can own 512 sm of mainland and it does not cost you anything. and , i think, you can still donate 512 to a group and then get [...]
lol, don’t make subQuark upset
gee, when subQuark gets miffed, he gets chatty! here’s what he posted today on his blog (in it’s glorious entirety!) =p i tend to take him with a grain of salt (good thing i like salt!) but he does help support a really awesome second life resident who went through an unfortunate experience, so it’s [...]
second life sex pirates
Eros, the makers of SexGen products isl has made one million dollars (real US dollars, not Lindens) over the last 5 years! and this week, they filed a very real world lawsuit against Linden Lab o_O Eros claims that Linden Lab has the ability to stop the blatant ripoff of SexGen products. it used to [...]
new traffic counting in second life
so Linden Lab announced a new traffic count system starting on 1 september on their blog here but . . . it doesn’t seem very different or any more useful. i guess i would go so far as to say it offers no new features at all. it still counts avatar minutes on your land and [...]
twitter for iliveisl second life tweets
so why do we tweet and what’s it have to do with second life? o_O well you can get notified of new blog posts without checking the blog all the time you can even follow the sl grid status tweets (that way you dont prove what an @$$h013 you are by thinking we control your [...]
Second Life vs. OpenSim
if you were reading us back in November, then you know that the OpenSpace debacle really affected us. so many lovely homes were lost (hmm, maybe this explains Ener’s fascination with building bomb shelters? a survivor!) =) like lots of peeps, we started looking at alternatives, like Openlifegrid.com and OSgrid.org, and we even set up [...]
Euclidean math wrong! 3750 = 750!
Only about 300 or 2% of the original Openspaces remained Openspaces, conforming to the limits that the Openspace product was originally intended to support. if you read this blog at all, then you know we are HUGE supporters of Linden Lab. and routinely defend Linden Lab many times a week on dozens of blogs, but this statement is [...]
