Dear Lindens,

Please hire at least one programmer, and one network, and one server guy. You seem to be missing one.


No Love,

/me snickers

Yeah, like LL has ever put forth a best effort on anything.

And how unexpected can it be if it happens so often that it is what people expect?

I have cancelled my account. I would just go away quietly, but then you all'd find a way to bitch at me about that.. so I thought I'd sneak it into this thread. Cheers all, and good luck in your Second Lives. Mine's done, for reasons I won't go into here. Strife.. you rock, my friend.. and so do so many others I've known over the last year. All you in the Cartel, I can't and won't even begin. And I won't forget any of you. Thanks for listening to my rants. Much, much love.

But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

Saturday, November 17th, 2007 at 6:10 PM PST Frontier Linden

[6:10pm Pacific] We’ve experienced multiple issues within Second Life today as the result of recurring database crashes. This has happened approximately four times today, in each case everything was restored within 30 minutes.

This has resulted in intermittent login issues, regions being unreachable and other features within Second Life not working, such as Search.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused and will post any updates to the Official Linden Blog as they become available.

Yes, I understand. I also would like to see some more real-time feedback on the blog (and the http://www.secondlife.com/status page is... anything but). But the folks banging on the grid aren't the folks updating the blog - the important part (IMO) is the feedback indicating that the grid monkeys are in fact aware of the problem.

I'd think they're probably capable of typing, "Oops, problem recurred" though. :p

I wonder at times if some of the problems are caused by massive griefing attacks, but no mention of this is made by the Linden staff, because mentioning it would make the griefers happy.

That may be a stupid and irrational thing to think, but I've thought it hundreds of times; having said it now maybe I can stop having this recurrent thought.

You might be surprised ;) The grid monkey(s) may a) not have write access to the relevant system (the 'blog'), b) have access, but not be comfortable with 'surfacing' ongoing issues at a level of abstraction that would be meaningful for most residents, or c) be just too darn busy staring at logs, traces, and other diagnostics while trying to figure out what the problem might be (and then produce a hotfix in real time).

I rather suspect it's a mixture of a & b (though Frontier has hopped in and made an announcement in the meantime while I've been writing this, perhaps rendering the discussion moot ;) ).

Hopefully things will be back up and running soon... !

I do't think that's stupid at all. Those morons what the recognition for their adolescent snits, so not crediting them is a good strategy.
