it's really lindened now :)

[6:55 PM Pacific on 2007-07-30] Work continues this evening. We’ll update when we have more information, or again early tomorrow morning.

arf...

the next day:
[8:49 AM pacific on 7/31/07] Presently, we are experiencing access issues with the Second Life Support Portal. Submission of support tickets and live chat are unavailable at this time. We will update you as soon as this issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.

[9:13 AM pacific on 7/31/07] This issue has been resolved.

so glad to read the support portal works again....

then...
[9:53 AM Pacific on 2007-07-31] [Update] On Saturday, when one of our many database hosts failed to a backup system, the backup system in turn was unable to handle the load. We attempted several fixes to this problem, including the creation and migration of load to other DB hosts, but we were still unable to determine why the systems were having so much trouble keeping up.

On Monday AM, we figured out that the systems were misconfigured to handle the kind of load we were throwing at them. This was simple, unfortunate human error.

We’ve been bringing new, correctly configured search systems online as they’ve completed imaging and copying in their DBs.

That process should complete and be back to normal some time today. Again, we thank you for your patience.

This word originated in the Second Life community in response to the chronic troubles following Second Life upgrades.

3. lindened


The process of taking something, and in an effort to improve it, making it worse.
