Does this have anything to do with Brent Linden's response in https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/land/dpw/blog/2009/04/29/moles-wanted#comments Oh.. That could be - LL has said that they have lots of people that work remotely. That'd be a shame if they lost somebody like Prospero over some stupid legal (probably tax-related) BS like that.. _____________________

Sorry sweetie, but you don't do rolling restarts remotely
 . Well, or at least that's what I'd consider good practice..._____________________

You sure can do restarts remotely. The difference is that you don't do them autonomously, meaning that there are humans around at the machines to unbork them in case something goes horribly wrong.
That said, it is a rare occasion that something goes horribly wrong. As long as you can access the machine and restart the software components from remote, you're fine. |

They are also adding servers at NAP here in Northern Virginia and as of last month were shopping for more in the UK. _____________________

It may have just burnt him out.
It's why I stopped being a forum mod, I just couldn't do the work anymore. Having heated discussion with customers really takes the energy out of you. And LL (from my perspective as a moderator) isn't very supportive. _____________________

Bob - Blog?
05-22-2009 19:41
Someone gave me the URL for Prospero's Blog, but I've lost it again. Does anyone remember it?
It couldn't have been connected to the Rolling Restart, but still waters run deep. |

Bugger, he was pretty cool to chat with, but on to better things I hope, this place is a bit of a madhouse for those in the pressure seats. Moreso as it gets bigger and bigger.
Maybe he did get kicked du to an error he made, but he's always admitted his mistakes and really did it cause that much trouble, it's not like he crashed SL servers for a day ot anything, it's only a game, if you are going to go under if SL is offline for 24 hours then your business model is flawed and risky at best. _____________________

Read his latest blog entry, he is unemployed with no prospects. I am sure something will pop up but it shows that this was either a case of "I am sick of this place" or "GTFO". In a normal economy and year I could see someone stating the former, I have done it myself in the past. It has to be a very, very bad environment for someone to chuck it all and take their chances in the job market right now.

Rainbow Colored Cone

There's now a rainbow colored cone, that refers people to this forum, and to rknop's blog. Touch the one labeled, "Do not touch."
I'm guessing, he exploded an expletive at a protected ethnic, and simply assumed he'd be fired. The person he yelled at likely feels worst of all. Arawn |
