I tried to teleport a couple of places and couldn't tonight. Then I looked on the map. It looks like a checkerboard! Half the sims are red. At home base I was puttering with my profile, I thought, when I suddenly noticed the minimap was red. I had been logged out for I don't know how long.

Is everything alright in CA.?

No things are not alright in CA. My son was supposed to be in bed an hour ago and he is still looking over my shoulder eating vanilla yogurt. :mad:

Yeah! By LL with their usual, let's do this on Friday and mess up their weekend, idiocy.

It's a hobby for them. After all, they don't have to leave techs to babysit the grid if it's down! :p

Does kinda make you wonder why they do it on Fridays, though. It's like there is a dartboard with the days of the week and for laughs, management put a magnet behind the Fridays to make the techs have to work more over the weekend! (I hope they are wage slaves and not salary. At least then they'd get overtime!)

LL is doing a series of Rolling restarts during which they are Implementing the Bug Fixes everyone keeps asking for. Nothing happens by Magic, the stsrem needs to be Modified once in a while.

Ah, but everything is run on magic smoke.. and once that smoke escapes, it all breaks! ;) Sorry, couldn't resist. They had network issues this morning for the website, but I'm thinking it's also bleeding over into SL with the new viewers. I didn't notice anything last night or today that suggests an attack of any sort, beyond the normal operations for Linden Labs.

Desmond Shang: Hello, I think we've got a horrible griefing attack in progress.

Concierge Chat: What's going on Desmond?

Desmond Shang: Someone has taken down thousands of regions.
Desmond Shang: They keep doing it too, it's been going on for hours.

Concierge Chat: That's the worst attack we've ever had. What regions?

Desmond Shang: Here, let me give you a list of names...

Concierge Chat: Oh, that's the rolling restart. Nothing to fear Desmond!

Desmond Shang: Then why does it spell out "LULZ" in crashed sims?

Concierge Chat: Muhahahaha!

Desmond Shang: I should have known.
Desmond Shang: ...

Desmond Shang: Hey, can you take down Figtree's sim for half an hour?

Concierge Chat: Okay, scheduled for 6pm, so you can go over and taunt first.

Desmond Shang: You guys rock.

Concierge Chat: Buh bye now!
