• Today was a total fuck up on Linden Lab's side. 8,000 simulators were disabled due to a power outage? The public highschool I used to attend had diesel powered backup power generators but Linden Labs can't seem to afford to host their simulators on servers which host, for all intents - critical data, in a location with similar provisions?
  
• Also, lack of transparency in disclosing both: a. cause of the outage; b. what linden labs is doing to correct these issues; c. disclosing an approximate time frame to fix these issues --- is extremely frustrating! Maybe for the casual user these are non-issues but for those of us who spend a good amount of time on the Grid such failures can be more than a little aggravating.
