ETA for ‘details of Homestead & Openspace script limitations’
November 9, 2008 7:24 pmJack Linden gives an ETA for details on the Homestead & Openspace script limitations:
We expect to have details of the limitations for scripts before January and will make those public as soon as we can. We’re going to be collecting detailed script and memory data for LSL and Mono ahead of that decision so that we fully understand where those limits should be.
We won’t be suddenly enforcing scripting limits with no warning, we will give residents plenty of time to adjust their script usage to the right levels, and we’ll provide tools to help measure so that there is no confusion. (in the Official Second Life Forums)
Before January 5th the current Openspace owners must have decided what to do with ‘their voids’, to enjoy the benefits of Linden Lab’s not-so-generous void exodus plan. So ‘before January’ and ‘expect’ makes me shiver. Does LL expect it’s residents customers to make such an important decision - yet again - without knowing what limitations await them? (And there’s the fact that people around Christmas and New Year tend to make more time available to their families, travelling for visits, dragging themselves from one reception to another. Strategic time schedule chosen by LL?)
(Still testing yolto.)

… and hopefully Torley will explain how to use those tools.
If they don’t manage the ‘expected’, then people will have to make a decision based on what seems very much like Russian roulette / a best guess to me too. Pathetic.
What if those ‘tools’ malfunction (oh ye of little faith, Ari, as if LINDEN-made things would do that)?
Will there be a ‘grey zone’ or will you be plunged into the eternal void if, say - buy a cutsey script-rich little dog that explodes your limits but as you’re just a little homestead owner, you don’t really know much about ’stuff like that’.
Way to go, Lindens. I now trust you even less than before, if that’s possible.
I’m most impressed that you found a posting by a lesser spotted Linden in that thread.
This just stinks yet again of a Linden idea that hasn’t been thought through. They never learn and I’m at the stage now where I doubt they ever will.
Babbage Linden tell us some about this at his lastweek office hour.

CPU usage and network bandwidth things are not mentioned. (Maybe it’s Andrew Linden’s part?)
[…] World Linden Lab’s server parks just got turned upside down? Do not panic (yet), Miss Nock told me to read the transcript. That’s all I did, read the transcript, I swear! ;) As it’s […]
