All regions show that these days, the RC designation was unfortunately removed some time ago. I guess I'll just have to wait & see what's going on... -

Rolled back, or update abandoned? Felt a bit quick to be the former. TP out after restart warning, to Magnum SB TP back 10 mins later So, no change. -
A brief note on pricing changes, which ran long.
Norton Burns replied to Grumpity Linden's topic in General Discussion Forum
Hey !! Starbucks just made me buy a coffee. I just wanted to leech their free WiFi ! Man, that makes me mad ! Remember, folks, in SL you can actually make & sell stuff. Profit. Starbucks won't like you selling your own coffee. -
remote monitoring of your unposted typing..

It's tough being paranoid... as no rational explanation manages to get through the foil hat to overcome the internal voices... -
Looking for documentation: "Color under Cursor"
Norton Burns replied to arabellajones's topic in Building and Texturing Forum
It's entirely dependant on the Windlight you are using - so as already mentioned, you can either set it fullbright, or you can use one of the 'standard' colour-matching Windlights. Nam's Optimal, [NB] Alpine-skinlight RGB, greyskymoon & Ambient Grey are all pretty flat. All, however, are dependant on your monitor also being accurately calibrated. -
and thank you for saying that. It really makes all the difference.

The hostility you found in group chat & again in here has absolutely nothing to do with your later 'profile' thing. That is completely irrelevant. The hostility is entirely because you don't see you behaved like a complete & utter entitled snowflake... & are STILL behaving like one. Starbucks has employees, paid to get your order right. You pay to receive service from them. Viewer support is entirely voluntary & the minute poor melty snowflakes get all uppity because the entire grid didn't run to kiss their knee when they fell is the point at which they all just shrug & say "tough luck". Grow up.

It's a tough life being a snowflake, isn't it?

The A&D stuff only transmits over HTTP once, at attach. The only time there are ever any updates are when it's in active use, otherwise it's all quiescent, even when worn. The same goes for all the working demos set outside the store. The 'region servers' are permanently listening, but if no comms are sent to them, that's all. The only other 'active' objects have 15 min timers [inworld counter, grid status feed etc], so are active once every 15 mins, except for a clock, which is once per second. Two of the active demos have a long time-gap sensors, so go inactive if there's no-one near [10m]. I've extended those times to 5 mins. I did a bit of a tidy-up anyway, I lifted all the Hippo stuff, now defunct & the Alika visitor counter I never actually use, so I'm pretty sure now the only script in the parcel not written by me is whatever's in the campfire. I'm now more than sure it's nothing on my parcel. Using Top Scripts I have 83 out of 2300 scripts on the region. 0.156ms of 6.510. Phil - could I get a copy of that, thanks
-
What really bothers me about all this is the discrepancy between Top Scripts & Stats making it nearly impossible to track where the issue actually is. Top Scripts is claiming 2328 scripts, time 6.682ms - the top few individual figures are visitors; most of the scripts appear from TS to be behaving reasonably well, we've only few showing as over 0.010ms Stats is seeing 7380, time 18.547 ms - & that figure will always fill all spare time. This is a constant issue on this region. I don't own it all, just ⅛, but I have Estate rights so I can try to look at the figures. I built a region 'tractor' to go round the whole thing, floor to ceiling & try to measure script activity using a sensor. Allowing for the inaccuracy of the method, it pretty much agreed with Top Scripts - so further efforts to find the errant scripts stops there. I've done the best I can with my own parcel, the only scripts above 0.010 are ones I didn't write, but even with the co-operation of the region's main owner, we are really struggling to find what is causing our constant script lag - because we can't track the numbers in Stats to actual objects on the region.

Official (?) Changes To The Abuse Report Categories
Norton Burns replied to Perrie Juran's topic in General Discussion Forum
You now just put it under Fraud. The categories are broader... as mentioned, 'pyramid scheme' was a bit of a tight one to define... -
Viewer 3 update started my problem.
Norton Burns replied to Eagle Himmel's topic in Second Life Viewer
The above method is correct, but it's simpler to do it in one step from Finder. Hit Cmd/shift/G to bring up 'Go to Folder...' (or it's in the Go menu) paste ~/Library/Saved Application State (the tilde ~ is important or it will try to go to the wrong library) Look for the com.secondlife... folder - Delete it. -
