Update: Aha! We’re safe for Halloween. Linden Lab cancelled the downtime on October 31th. So besides the usual quirks we should be able to celebrate as usual:

UPDATE (2007-10-26): The planned service outage has been canceled. More time is needed to prepare the updates, and it may prove to be possible to do so without downtime for all of Second Life.

And yes… the angry mob surrounding the castle with torches and pitchforks made its voice heard! I admit to being totally oblivious by scheduling an outage on the date of one of our favorite annual celebrations. Mea culpa! The shambling horror will slip back into the shadows… for now…

Eh, probably. Maybe just because they want to see Qarl fulfill his promise of being Ruth as his Halloween costume? ;-).

P.S.: How ironic. My dad’s ISP is super-excellent, but his computer doesn’t play along with Second Life. My computer plays along with Second Life, but his ISP is horrible.

Not even Habbo Hotel works! X.X

Now, Dandellion, what do you think? Maybe for non-Second Life related stuff?

Smiley, intentional? Maybe. One of the ‘conspiracy theories’ on the blog comments: LL makes stupid announcement/decision on purpose. LL admits it’s stupid and changes the date. LL can then say they listen to their Residents. =D

Oh boy. I have a feeling this is intentional. They don’t want to work on Halloween, so it’ll be offline, while they do a “Halloween Party” in their offices! Ugh.

P.S.: I won’t even be able to be online today! My ISP has so many problems, even the 2nd worst one has fixed its Packet Loss! :-O.
