The question asked is, don’t the Lindens have a limit on the size of mesh uploads? Well, yeah. They do. But a body is often 3 items, the hands 1 or 2 more items, the feet also 1 or 2 items, and the head another item.

by

In February of this year I wrote about Massively closing: Massively Closing? Today I see that Massively Overpowered launched February 10th. MassivelyOp.net is a new effort by the founding staff of the now closed Massively site, formerly part of Joystick.

I found them because they published: MEET THE MMO THAT LIVES IN SECOND LIFE. This is another article about Remnants of Earth.

They do have a Second Life category. But, I only found two articles there. But… they have only been running this site since February.

Second Life: MayaStar News – Week 15

The video is 30 minutes long.

This one is named: RC HeatWave Viewer version 3.7.27.300424. This is a maintenance release with 77 fixes. Normally I would use a short code to place the list in an accordion, but that feature of the web site isn’t working today as I run plug-in free. So, the long list can be found in the release notes.

Blog Testing…

by

4/8 – I made it 24 hours without the site hitting its memory limits. So, while I thought the Sunspot theme was the problem, it apparently isn’t. It did better in the last 24 hours than the WP 2015 theme…

Running without Akismet is REALLY a pain. I’ll turn it back on (8:30AM) today.

11:40 – Adsense back on

16:00 – Analytics back on

21:00 – Jetpack back on – 50%

4/9 – 9:30 – Bad Behavior back on
