Contributing to global climate change since 1965, Allen believes that you have a Constitutional right to his opinion. Call me a rocket scientist but I think I figured out that there must be 16 nodes in the Second Life™ login server cluster. Seen just moments ago:
[22:09] Second Life: There is an issue with a central server which is affecting approximately 1/16 of all Second Life residents. Affected residents are currently unable to [...]
I wasn’t even aware that we were going but apparently we’ve landed on Mars again.
I’m conflicted when it comes to spending tax money on space exploration. On the one hand it’s expensive and not really related to what I think government should be doing. On the other hand… OMG, this is soooo cool! The “cool” [...]
You can imagine my surprise and delight (go ahead, try) when I saw this fantastic mash-up of “food product.” Potato chips with caffeine. Finally the health benefits of starch, fat and caffeine can be found in one, easily consumable format. Add in some extra sugar and maybe the by-products of tobacco carcinogens and they’d have [...]
Idaho sucks… tell a Californian. I love it. I remember something like this going on in Oregon… before it was overrun.
Just a quick note. I noticed that some of my older posts contained images that weren’t being served. I fixed those. Sitemeter tells me that there is some recent interest in the material I wrote about building my over-the-air HDTV PVR. You can find all of those in the HDTVPVR category. This post seems to [...]
I deleted my Twitter account — only two weeks after I opened it and predicted that I would delete it by the end of that day. I suspect the Twitter folks are a victim of their own success and that’s why their service is down so often. Not being able to rely on it for [...]
Yesterday I mentioned that Netflix has some fraction of their rental offerings available for instant viewing through a PC. Today I saw a post at PVRblog about a $99 set top box that replaces the PC and plugs directly into your existing TV. It’s an interesting idea but these days I use my PC for [...]
I’m late to the party but I recently discovered that, as part of our subscription to NetFlix, we can watch some titles from our PC without having to wait for a DVD in the mail. As a result I’ve been able to catch a few episodes of old TV shows without having to interrupt TT’s [...]
TT and I have just flown in from Las Vegas (and boy are our arms tired). Ba-dum. Thank you, thank you verra much. Try the veal. Don’t forget to tip the wait staff.
Eep! Downtime at Second Life over the month of April was exceptionally high, but I didn’t realize just how high it was:
We’ve just updated the Quality Metrics page, and the numbers show what you already know: April was not a good month for Second Life Grid availability. Our internal outage tracking tool estimates that about [...]
