"Hi. This is 1.7. Sorry I'm not here to take your login right now. But leave a message in the forums and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm released."

"Umm. 1.7? Hey. This is Paulie calling. I really thought we both had a good time the other night, you know, in preview? And, like, you said you'd be over sometime this week. Oh, this is awkward. I'm not tryin to push you into anything. Really. It's just...well..it's Thursday. And you haven't come over or called. So...I guess I hope I'll see you soon. I mean, if you want to. You do want to, don't you? Umm..ok. Bye."

~sigh~ Wishful thinking. I think its kind of common practice now for companies to postpone update deployments.

I was rather expecting 1.7 to be out this week also, but now I've fallen it back to predict it early next month or something like that. Giving the hints from the developers about it.

I note that the Lindens aime to close down the classifieds at the end of the month, because with 1.7, they're obsolete. I may be wrong, but I read that as 1.7 being out on or about the end of the month.

They announced last week that it would be this week:

From: Karen Linden
We are planning to release SecondLife 1.7.0 sometime during the week of October 16th, 2005 (an exact date has not yet been set). We truly appreciate all of the hard work that's been done by residents on the Preview grid, and ask for one final testing push before 1.7.0 is released.

Residents born before September 20, 2005 can download the SecondLife Preview viewer from http://secondlife.com/preview/ and join us in the Preview grid for some testing fun. If you find a problem, use the Help menu > Report Bug option to report the issue to us automatically.

Thanks again, and see you in Preview!

Personally I think it was a mistake to say they were going to release it this week. Unless they know for sure it's going in tomorrow, they should have not said anything, or phrased it like "We are planning to release 1.7 very soon."

Nah, they announced they were planning it this week... and having been in SL more than a little while, I know what that can mean.

I can only encourage more Resis to pile into 1.7 Preview and REPORT BUGS!!! We don't want them biting us in the @$$ later, rite?

1.7 might be having a bad (hootchie) hair day or playing hard to get. Don't take it personally just yet, Paulie. Initial impressions are important and, fyi, showing up on the 2nd date with bed head is not a smooth move.

(Btw, I'm going to mind my own business and not ask if !.7 puts out on the first date.)

Ack! Paulie - I was speaking with 1.6 today - you know... about havok 2, object to object communication, XML-RPC... you know, that kind of imaginary stuff.

Well, 1.6 said he was talking to 1.7, and 1.7 said she got your message, but she's been really, really distracted. She said she really likes you, but um.... she's been spending a lot of time with this guy Kona. It might be getting serious, man! :D

Well, of course I'm not dumb enough to think that it was a sure thing thing this week, precisely why it was a mistake to announce it as such.

paulie, next time, try sending flowers. I've heard if you want to get to 2nd base with 1.7, this is the way to go.

I hate to provide a meaningful reply, but one of the Lindens just posted that the major bugs in 1.7 were worked out and they hope to have it out bright and early Monday morning. You can find this post in the 1.7 forums. Im too lazy to post a link.

"Hi. This is Paulie Femto. I'm sorry I can't take your call at the moment. Please leave your name and message and I will get back to you."

"Yea, uh, this is 1.7. I caught the flu over the week, went to the doctor, took some medicine and I'm feeling much better now. How about we catch up next week? Say Monday, let me know what Sim and I'll meet you there."
