LL screws its users silently, yet again. on Flickr - Katarina Malthus, points to the ‘Additional internal web service infrastructure work to remove dependencies on central databases (initially disabled, weâ��ll then slowly start flipping services on) ‘ sentence on LL’s latest blogpost. Not good news? :(
Weekend Knack blog - BBC documentaire ‘Virtual Love’ op Koppen - Dutch ‘opinion’ blogpost on the BBC Documentary ‘Virtual Love’ that recently was displayed on Belgium TV. Conclusion: It does not paint a very realistic image of Second Life, or relationships in our virtual world.

I’m withholding judgement until I know more about what’s going on; I am not familiar with Ms. Malthus and hence don’t know whether she’s knowledgeable about the issues involved. However, just looking at her pretty picture, I would say that for all her talk of bottlenecks, surely the asset server is a horrible bottleneck as things stand now, not to mention being a single point of failure. Wouldn’t distributing the work make for better use of available processing power and less total overhead rather than more?
Also, apparently she cannot handle any criticism of this totally foolish interpretation. She deleted my comment from the picture, blocked me, and now has been threatening to “turn me in for theft of intellectual property” for making an attributed parody of a cc-licensed image, and calling me a liar to boot. Niiice.
I *do* agree that we should hear her out, and that the topic should be discussed. But let’s do so rationally, and armed with facts, rather than speculation and FUD.

Do take the time to take a peek at Jopsy Pendragon’s inworld model of how the LL servers are actually configured - including the sims, the asset servers, the inventory databases (a different thing from the asset store), and the other backbone services. It helps to start with a basis of understanding of how things are actually connected - the visual model is very useful for such a complex topic. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Teal/111/78/516/?title=Jopsy%20Pendragon%27s%20Model%20of%20the%20Second%20Life%20Servers
We’ll see. You’re not the only one saying so *should insert the quote with the tornado, caravan and land of Oz here*. Most of comments come down to ‘they are changing something, and if it’s good are bad, that we are left to still see’. But listening to Katarina for a while is ok too. Worst case scenario, maybe?

Cala, went to take a quick peak. That’s a very simple representation of the system, no? (Although it’s fun to look at, I assume the ‘missing images’ aren’t there intentionally?)

Ah you spotted the pinkness Vint!
I didn’t care much for that BBC documentary either. It was nicely filmed but was not representative or accurate.

That flickr story about new server is pointless rant. Things are not going the way Katarina is imagining.

Such fine pinkness could not be left unspotted! ;)
As for the documentary, everybody IRL keeps telling me they have seen it. I keep telling them I wish they hadn’t.
