Linden Lab puts out new newbie avatars
Massively
Jun 8th 2008 10:52AM Comments in Torley's blog about the new forms indicate that some of the parameters were changed or unwisely altered between the times the creators sent them to LL and when the pictures Torley used for the survey were taken. I hope this will get fixed before the official release.
Peering Inside: PG or not PG?
Massively
May 5th 2008 11:34AM PG isn't about protecting kids, Daman. It's about what someone wants to encounter in SL -- although I don't think it is very useful, as there is no enforcement and no standardization.
Under the grid: Calling cards
Massively
May 3rd 2008 1:37PM Interesting. I did some playing around with them today; looks like once you have the calling card (and the friend) they each function independently of the other. I can delete calling cards for friends, and I'm still friends, and I can remove a friend, and the calling card stays.
I remember a few months back when Mr. Shang said he'd had to axe his friends list because all the updating of their status was causing him to crash and hang and crash and hang, and the only solution was removing several hundred of them. I wonder if simply removing all the calling cards would have worked instead?

I did remember to go to Linden land to AR them, just in case it got shunted to my estate owner if I'd reported it on private land.

1.20: Changing your mind about avatar lag

Apr 15th 2008 12:11PM I fear the ARC police also -- but at least such "policing" can now be based on reality, rather than someone's potentially mistaken ideas about what creates lag.
1.20: Changing your mind about avatar lag

Apr 12th 2008 8:16AM This is keen!
Did your testing look at the same avatar with different computers -- were the numbers the same across platforms?
Who let users on the grid?
Massively
Apr 12th 2008 7:09AM That's what I thought, thanks for confirming, Tateru.
I feel mildly grumpy about this; they implied 'avoid throttling' as one of the two benefits of paying LL money for the account (the other being tech support), and then when they decide to throttle, they don't follow their announced plans.

Apr 12th 2008 6:57AM What about the plan that throttling would be based on paid users vs. free accounts?
