YAY
I go to put food in the oven to have a little shared meal experience with birthday boy and BAM ... no SL. Yay!
So I think this time what has happened is that mutant bananas from Mars have launched a denial of service attack on all sploders on the grid.
OR the Feds have moved in for the kill ...

http://blog.secondlife.com/2007/07/29/gridwide-slowdowns/[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.Broccoli

The mutant banana theory sounds more plausible to me.

Showering and the leg/pit situation...no that's another story. Maybe fabreeze? lol Anyhoooo
