[Mobile Grid Clients no longer working?]

I guess there was an outage because the apps are working again.

[Mobile Grid Clients no longer working?]

I have been using Lumiya and Mobile Grid Client for a long time to be able to chat and check my inventory notecards for the longest time. Today though both say they can not connect to the server. Are both mobile clients no longer operational and if so is there any others out there or ways I can use to chat/check my inventory using my phone?

[Taxes question due to Second Life]

I have a computer I bought this year that I mainly dedicated for Second Life use because I do make over $2,000 a year and needed a computer that could run SL well. Since I have to fill out a 1099 and this computer is used for SL and other RL business reasons would I be able to use my computer as a tax write off?
