So for everyone in SL thats not in the Ohio Valley...get some sun.
So the grid got attacked. Lets just do something productive while the Lindens take care of the issue?
I mean, seriously, the software is user accessible and the entire game is customizable...theres always going to be a hole somewhere. Jumping up and down like angry forum pygmies isn't going to make that reality go away.
I'm a developer myself. Yeah I'm losing money every time this happens.
I've also got plenty of time to read, teach myself more about Poser, work on clothes in Photoshop...tons and tons of stuff. In fact I almost enjoy grid outages because they give me some "me" time where I can do something that doesn't have something to do with keeping up with my business or having to stop what I'm doing constantly to pay attention to my friends in the game.
Sure the Lindens could put a stop to this kind of thing easily...and then we'd all be sitting around on square prims and talking about the good old days when "things did stuff".
Laugh it off. It doesn't matter a little sunlight or a few hours in a good book won't kill you.
They'll fill the holes in the system eventually...and then it'll be a new exploit next month. If you're not able to take that kind of thing philosophically...its not going to do you much good.
Come on folks...smile a bit. Play with the dog...go kiss your significant other. If all else fails....masturbate.
Well...its something to do...right?

lets see today i washed 2 dirty cars did some yard work now that the snow has almost disappeared, did laundry, played with my animals went shopping for food and i didn't think of SL once lol
