Scheduled Tuesday 2020-08-25 03:00-09:00 PDT

Second Life RC:

https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/simulator/2020-08-24T21%3A00%3A45.547626.html

Scheduled Wednesday 2020-08-26 07:00-10:30 PDT

On Region Restarts

Regions will be restarted if they have been running for more than 10 days on Tuesday (Main Channel) and Wednesday (RCs) regardless of whether or not new code is being deployed, for the general health and well being of the Simulators. Nothing beats turning it off and then on again ... once in a while.

As always please plan events around these maintenance windows. However, if you are hosting an event on Tuesday or Wednesday when we're not deploying new code, you can restart your region ahead of time to avoid interruptions.

Nice to see (1) "it didnt hurt al all" and (2) it completed on time.

Last several weeks its often been quite late which has impacted our races.

I have this funny feeling LL is gradually getting its act together, no idea why LOL.

@JoyofRLC Acker:it couldn't be anything to do with trying to impress the new Boss, could it?

Mazidox has a new boss? Do tell.

@Willow WilderI was referring to the sale of Linden Research, thus Linden Lab, to investors, report here https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2020/07/linden-lab-second-life-acquired.html

Hence you might say Lindens have a new boss.  Granted this is as of now unconfirmed but as rumour-mongers go Wagner James Au is a fairly good source!

Ahhhh the same announcement that came through press releases here https://www.lindenlab.com/releases/linden_research_to_be_acquired that, apparently, has yet to even be approved. Not to say that it won't, but these things tend to take time. 

As an aside, Firestorm is being blamed for fewer problems these days, thanks to this yet-to-be-completed acquisition. Most things are now the fault of the new board members. You just know they are in the servers and in your inventories messing around with things. 😉

We all know they are only trying to buy SL to get access to more lewds/nudes.
