As it happens, it’s my fifth rezday today, but the silly typist had some ridiculous singing practice thing and then was procrastinating on a web project. But hey, here’s another example of “good press” for Rod Humble, Linden Labs, Creatorverse, Patterns, and oh, yeah, Second Life.

We’re going to be updating to a bigger world, adding more shapes to find in the world and – based on your feedback – we’re adding the ability to place formations on your own creations as well as ours. We’re also fixing plenty of bugs. This won’t make Second Life Marketplace merchants happy, who’ve been trying to get some needed features and fixes done for… years, really.
