It started raining. So, I’m back home and it has been raining here too.
Lots to do work-wise. So, posting will be intermittent.
Decided to stay longer… not sure which day I will be back. But, I have to be back by the 12th for work stuff.
Today I am off to travel… I plan to be back May 3rd or 4th.
I am taking a laptop, so I might make a post or two. But probably not.
See you then, Nal.
The Third Party Developers met last Friday. This is the first of those meetings to run a full hour in some weeks. So, we have new information on several subjects. Some of that information I published on Saturday and Sunday as smaller posts rather than one gigantic post. This article will be the smaller bits of news from the meeting. But, it still went over a thousand words.

Oz Linden announced the next TPD Meeting is next Friday May 1. This is one week away, out of the normal pattern. He will be gone the following weekend and is pushing that weekend’s meeting up one week.
Philosophy is one of my interests. To discuss philosophy requires good debating skills and open minded skepticism. Both things I find those recently educated in the public school systems lack. Skepticism also needs a good measure of critical thinking ability.

Every so often I am moved to point out the fallacies in subjects considered by many to be truisms. Man made global warming is a wonderful subject for dividing the thinkers from the gullible.
We currently have an inventory problem that prevents logging into Second Life. The currenlty frequent cause of the problem has been tracked down to having Flat Inventory.

A flat inventory is an inventory where thousands of items are in a single folder. Mostly the term denotes an unorganized inventory where stuff is mostly in the root or objects folders rather than being organized in folders and subfolders. As the viewer is downloading inventory folder by folder a folder with thousands of items can take too long to download and cause a time out. This jams up the login process and you get a failure message.
