From: Lias Leandros Innula, Blondin is NEVER going to say that he will only allow a member of Zindra Alliance to control his Monday meeting at Zindra.
Why are you and Gavin even holding out hope that he will? Don't you think that such a system would cause more resentment in the community? It just seems like a power play to me. I believe Blondin sees the meetings as for all Zindra residents, with an interest in what is happening, let us all attend this meeting today and see how it goes |

Again Lias, you smear lies all over. I have said REPEATEDLY that these meetings are OPEN TO EVERYONE as they have been from day one. They have been facilitated by Zindra Alliance. If you don't understand the word, facilitate, look it up. And stop spreading lies. |

From: Couldbe Yue benefit Zindra for a change. Your snide remarks again. It is not Zindra Alliance's place to decide what image represents Zindra.

And Blondin just became a member of the other Zindra Landowner Alliance to prove that point to the Zindra Community. Deal with it.

Hehe, you will be the one who will have to deal with getting the Blake Seas model pulled down over your head - Linden Lab meeting elected representatives in closed meetings. Nice work Lias. Be proud!

Gavin, YOU divided and conquered when you kicked me 0out of the Zindra Alliance. Then sending that false notecard claiming you, Brie and Jago attempted to have a private conversation with me about my issues prior to your 'decision'. When you start kicking people out of community groups - you divide the community. Lesson learned. If you feel that this is your only course of action available to you - then you have FAILED as a community group leader. This is all due to your power-crazed actions. Own it From: Gavin Hird Linden Lab meeting elected representatives in closed meetings. You, Brie and Jago have closed door meetings. and none of you were even elected.

Why are you and Gavin even holding out hope that he will? Don't you think that such a system would cause more resentment in the community? It just seems like a power play to me. I am not holding out hope one way or another. I just questioning whether it's safe to assume that, just because you don't like what someone said he can't possibly have meant it. As it happens, I hope he didn't mean what his words seem to me to have meant, but I don't think it's safe to discount the possibility they do, just because I'd rather they didn't. |

From: [11:07 Blondin Linden: I'd like to apologize if anyone thought that this time or space was simply for the benefit of the ZIndra Alliance and it's group memebers. I'm here to help and to talk with everyone. Done and done.

Yes now we can all move forward together as a community, groups included, today has shown we can all get along in meetings and that there is much that we can all communicate and put forward to strengthen Zindra into a destination that sl residents will want to use and a good place to run our business from. We are all differnt people and that is what makes sl such an interesting place, for many here this is an opportunity to run a successful business that maybe the rl world does not offer. The sl economy seems to be surviving rl economies and we as business should feel proud we are contributing to that success. There is lots of things that need to be addressed but as long as we are moving in the right direction we will get there, nothing is instant but I am sure together as a community and with Blondin and LL support these things will happen. This is a brave new world and we are the foundling residents  ) Hugss Soar |

I believe LL counts on all the confrontation between residents, kind of like eating our young. It limits the number of answers they have to give us.

They do, that is why we need to show a united front and the fact that we can organise ourselves into that united front, irrespective of what groups we are in IMHO we must always show that we can work together and leave the ego's at the door for the betterment of the common good and promotion of Zindra or whatever other projects we may approach in SL. Just my thoughts though

From: Kara Spengler If you want to see something *really* nice go to her blog. The current version, S18-1, is essentially a combination of S18's code base plus snowglobe's code to make textures appear faster. Emerald is also a popular choice right now too. For some reason builds 205 and later do not work for me, and I have not figured out why yet. build 202 is what I am running now. Her previous S17 crashed like once a *month* on my PC, which is astoundingly better than the official viewer. I recognize that your mileage may vary. How stable any given viewer is on *your* computer depends on a lot of factors, so it's good to have options. For the moment I have Official 1.23.4, Snowglobe 1.0.2, and Kirstens S18 all loaded in my PC, and every once in a while I go try out something new. |

I tend to have 2 or 3 clients I actively use at any one time so I can objectively compare/contrast features and speed.

Lets hope they get the message out as they have sent the Xstreet emails about the coming changes on the 14th Sept, we have just got one, and the adult changes are far more important changes for the whiole of SL IMHO

Blondin said at the meeting on Monday that he expected them to go out early next week.
I suppose it's a rather more complex operation than effecting the changes with XStreet, because they've got to (well, they don't have to, but it makes sense to) complete the auctions and give people a bit of time to move before they start enforcing the new definitions. And from the way Blondin was talking on Monday, they weren't going to send them out until they'd actually completed the final swops, which he expected to be done some time this week.
I just hope they give tenants on private islands adequate time to move from mature to adult and vice versa. My tenants have been on notice for ages that I expect to have to flag my islands as adult sometime towards the end of August/early September, so it's not really an issue for me. But I know a lot of places don't seem to have given much thought to the matter; the attitude, "we're a private island, so it doesn't affect us" is seriously mistaken, as a lot of people, I fear, are going to find out.

Just my thoughts though This could be the perfect motivation hymn for Zindra-Residents. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le6uFnLwqYU&feature=relatedI don't know about the progress in that difficult language and there is no english version available, but I am sure Constanza knows that song very well. It is a 70's classic in the netherlands/holland, about doing things together, united, as closed ranks, adapted from a bretone/celtic/french very old melody. edit add: much cooler version with more drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CZq051btlE&feature=related |

Did anyone get the Mainland Adult Content e-mail again? I just got another one. It has no location listed. Just a copied letter without my name on it. From: someone from Second Life
to [email]liasleandros@gmail.com[/email]
date Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 4:46 PM

Dear Second Life Resident,
In September, the Adult Content Policy transition period will end, and in preparation, we recently reviewed parcel descriptions and classified advertisements. We noticed that, while either your parcel description or classified ad contains or references adult content, your land is not flagged as Adult. We're writing to alert you to this oversight in your listing and let you know how easy it can be to address it. Please note that if you don't take action, your listings may be removed from search results (though they will continue to incur full listing fees) and account restrictions may be imposed when the transition period ends.
How can you avoid this messiness and continue to reach your target audience with your listings? Simply comply with the Adult Content Policy by taking one of the following actions, if you have not already done so:
1. Private region owners, change your region rating to Adult.
2. If you rent, or if you own Mainland property then move to an Adult region (Zindra or Adult rated private region.
3. OR Remove any adult-themed content from your parcel description, classified ad and land (whichever is applicable).
For further detail, read the Adult Content Policy and tips.
Thank you,
Linden Lab Customer Support Do they expect me to go from sim to sim and clear 20,000 meters of content until this e-mail stops coming? Has anyone successfully made this stop?
