    Linden Labs’ Server Side Heavy Lifting: Less Pink, More Shrink If First Hour Issues Not Addressed

    Torley must not have written this LL blog post, he’s ALL about the pinkitude (hey! They remembered they had a blog, stop complaining). Reports of hardware upgrades and colo consolidation and texture and object caching are good, except that it would seem to be positioning LL for making Second Life easier to access and display on lower-end machines… or the Web. Their recent acquisition of some kind of shared-narrative company might might be part of it, again aimed more at potential customers in the “mobile and social game ecospheres.” Less load on our machines is good, but they still need…

    Who wants pie? I WANT PIE at the end of the party #SL9B

    At the end of an informative talk about the Steamlands at SL9B by Herr Baron Klaus von Wulfenbach, someone mentioned that punch and pie had been promised. And so someone set out a variety of virtual desserts. Well, I don’t have punch, but here’s some family-recipe pie. Long story about this pie: it’s strawberry-rhubarb, and in my family it’s called “Damn Sour Pie.” One of my adult cousins requested it be made several years ago for a big family gathering (it was a sad yet happy gathering; a memorial party for an elderly relative that was truly a party). It…

    @LindaKellie Don't worry about it, more people are absurdly grateful to you for the work you do. # @theguild "Pantsing Vork Scene" is a cover band waiting to be formed. # I am technically "working from home" tomorrow.

  • Relay For Life - Steelhead

    The Green Fairy and the Undiscovered Country

    Willow Leafstorm’s new music venue in Steelhead Nevermoor opened with a set of truly cathartic 80’s dance music – almost everything was a remix or a cover. And unlike some “all cover” sets, each song was… great in its own right. I heard old favorites sound new – and had completely different reactions to some of the lyrics, because I was hearing them in light of some of my most recent experiences out there in untidy, noisy, fragile RL. I stumbled into a fun game: “Kiosk Challenge.” There was a Relay For Life kiosk in the corner of the venue,…
