I just found out why you can't bug Phillip when he is busy.......I went to the sim he was in and just looking at him made my ping shoot to 4300msec.....I could barely do anything but teleport home, and I returned to normal soon after that.....
Was it an anti-stalking device or did I just get into the FIC by lag induced initiation?
Seriously....I think it is a byproduct of the 1.6 update, load, that single sim instability, etc....but I am having fun anyway.....

My theory remains that Philip Linden is a time traveller too, and that what you are experiencing are temporal anomalies resulting in asynchronous dissociative states of chronoinstability.

It could be like an out of body experience or a UFO abduction thing happening there.

....asynchronous dissociative states of chronoinstability. I looked like this after.... Actually, that was me 28 million meters above ground level, because I was bored.... _____________________

Bleh, I could only get to 4.5 mil. That's where the scenery stops changing....but still fun to do. I was using llSetForce(<0,0,99999>, FALSE); in 'pods' of linked prims, one set attached to every attachment point, only took about 15 minutes to get there. Btw, It seems llGetVel() maxes out at 250m/s, I was doing a lot faster than that, anyone see the same behavior? _____________________

Maybe they didn't think we'd ever be crazy enough to try and go that fast...  _____________________

Ooh oooh ooooh! Yes, that reminds me of a musing I had sometime back... like a few weeks ago. I'm actually wondering why that Dire Straits music video hasn't been recreated in SL yet. The tractor looks like an ideal match for prims, and who could go wrong with an av like this?

. . . what you are experiencing are temporal anomalies resulting in asynchronous dissociative states of chronoinstability. I'm not sure what's more frightening, the fact that I resonably understand that statement or the reasons behind my understanding it (about a decade of following Doctor Who storylines). _____________________
