In late February problems in ADITI were slowing down Third Part Party work on SSAB (Server Side Avatar Baking). Nyx Linden explained that some of the problems in the SSAB pile-on test were caused by inventory failures. The problem then becomes sorting out what is an ADITI Inventory issue and what is a SSAB issue. In any event, some significant changes have been made to ADITI Inventory. Unfortunately the changes may not save you from problems if… Continue reading

And today a group approached me hoping to put together a movement to show Linden Lab the extent of the problem and the interest in getting it fixed.

There is a load of new information about what is going on with the Firestorm Viewer. Some is great and you will be happy. Some of the news is a real downer and depressing.

She says they are still incorporating user feedback. A new viewer is coming with the… Continue reading

You can follow him on YouTube and catch those meetings a few hours after they happen. Loki’s Experience – 2014 Viewers Viewer news from Oz Linden is pretty thin, his word. I’ve covered most of the viewer news earlier in the week. Oz basically said at this Friday’s Third Party Developers Meeting that projects… Continue reading
Viewers There is a new viewer in the pipeline called the New Login Viewer. I don’t know much about it or when we will see it on the RC Viewer page. I think this viewer is still running A-B tests with new users. As existing users we probably will not see it until the A-B testing is done.
