AO Functions

You’ll know they are there, if they work. I think Maestro Linden means they are grid wide now. He explained it this way:

Ah, see the next line, Inara:

* Changes since 13.04.26.274926
** Includes changes from Second Life Server 13.04.29.274986

That 13.04.29.274986 version has all the AO goodies.  I’m removing the “Changes since 13.04.19.274370” section from the 13.05.04.275247 release notes to prevent further confusion.

I don’t say much about the Market Place. It is too frustrating and the Lindens working on it stay hidden. But, this morning I see new forum posts about the SL Market Place Product Reviews not working. One person wanted to leave a comment on their product about a problem mentioned in a review being corrected. They couldn’t.

Gwyneth Llewelyn’s mADness

by

I like Gwyneth’s writing because; her ideas are clearly expressed and her thinking rational. Her latest is about Linden Lab starting to use Google’s Adsense advertising and people’s reactions. It ranges from estimates of how much the Lab may be making to the psychological aspects of SL and the freedom available in SL that IS NOT available in other social sites/games/networks.

Gwyneth points out the details of how the Lab is using the advertising. She compares it to how other services use advertising. The Lab is certainly atypical in their use of Adsense.

The basic idea many people have is that paid services do NOT have advertising. But, that is not accurate. Consider cable and satellite TV. Those are paid services that have a load of advertising. Newspapers and magazine that we purchase have a load of advertising too. We pay to go into a movie and then sit through ads for coming movies and local services and products.

Direct Delivery Fix

by

I came across Darrius Gothly explaining to someone how to get stuck items out of the Unassociated Items List. I think that info is handy to know, so I’m publishing it here.

The problem is seen when you move a Market Place item from your Magic Box to Direct Delivery using the Merchant’s Outbox. The previous item from the Magic Box is moved to the Unassociated Items List. If you just delete it, it will come back… again ad again. If you delete from the Magic Box and the list, it will still come back again and again. They seem impossible to remove. Darrius has a fix:

Second Life Direct Delivery Info

by

Yesterday the Commerce team was going to take the Market Place down for changes about 5 AM. Then that was going to be put off until Monday. Then they rescheduled it to 10 AM yesterday. They did take the Market Place from about 10 to 11:30 AM Thursday, yesterday.

We still don’t know what was changed or fixed. Just that the site was down.

Seen too often...

We do know there is a small problem with Direct Delivery Bears over populating the world. That problem has been solved with a small nuke.

I think it was SassyRomano’s finger on the button.
