Second Life: How to Fix CDN Problems
Well, this may or may not fix your problem. But, it is a chance to improve things.
The problem some are seeing is texture and mesh fetching errors, which means regions and/or avatars are failing to render. When that happens things may be odd shaped or never appear and they stay gray. If you look in your Second Life™ log files you’ll find errors like these:
Second Life: How to Stop Mean Comments…
I seldom see bloggers in the Second Life™ sphere tackle deep philosophical ideas. There are plenty of rants and opinions. But, I seldom see people go beyond their personal outrage or anger over something that has touched them. So, Strawberry Singh’s Mean Comments Meme was a bit of a surprise.

Second Life: Firestorm Tip
You did remember that today, Tuesday, is Firestorm’s Tuesday Tool Tips?
Second Life: RC Troubles
The recent RC Server update has brought some problems. You have to have the combination of a viewer without AISv3 updates and be on a RC Channel region; Blue Steel, Magnum, or Tigre. In this case it is any of the three.

If you live outside Canada, Europe, Australia, Brazil and the United States, you may not know of this day of practical jokes known as April Fools’ Day. It is a time for practicing skepticism as people try to fool each other with various harmless hoaxes and practical jokes.
In Second Life it is a fairly popular day. The Firestorm Team usually has something planned. They can get a bit devious and have pulled off a couple of elaborate spoofs.
Tomorrow is April Fools’ Day. You have been warned. While I tend to focus my teasing and jokes on my close friends, people I know well enough to know what I can get away with, you never know.
