Here we go again! (^_^)y
Mkay, I posted on the forum this morning… Responding to a kid AV who is quite misunderstanding what role kid AVs play in the context of SL. But, one thing I agree with is the notion that SL kids are “creepy”. I created a silly little quote to reflect my view of the absurdity… =^-^=
Second Life: A world where an 8 foot tall anthro-furry wearing a gimp hood, penis sling, and a drool dripping ball gag can call a 9 year old girl “creepy”. (^_^)
I’ve said it other ways. I’ve been quoted for it. The saying gets a cute laugh. =^-^=
So, I hit “Post” and…
Second Life: A world where an 8 foot tall anthro-furry wearing a gimp hood, **bleep** sling, and a drool dripping ball gag can call a 9 year old girl “creepy”.
Erm… “**bleep**”? (O.o)
Oho, boy… Yet another ‘banned word’ list. I’m half ready to put it to the test. I’d feel cozy if it blocked ‘F’bombs and such… But, penis? (o.O)
I wonder if ‘nipple’ is on the list. =^-^=
::UPDATE::
I have a very difficult time deciphering some people. (O.o)
I mean, okay, we live in a society mired in porn… Lots of it being easily found for free. (o.O)
I’ve never been in the dating scene, so, I’m not quite clear what that’s like. (O.o)
But… What drives someone to the point of never realizing they’re being trolled? (=_=)
Case in point…

[12:40] tazman Coage: is your pussy shaven or groomed
Holycrap that was long! (O_O)
But, anyway, whutupwitdat? (=_=)
Is it really so hard to find a person to spend time with? What would getting a picture have achieved? And, do RL people really talk to each other like this? I mean, not the TXTish and all… But, like all up front personal stuff without an evening coffee. (O.o)
Either way, dood was good for a laugh and if I hadn’t had to get back to work I’m sure I could have had him hanging on for at least another hour. =^-^=
… Which is very sad. (>_<)
I remain optimistic… Not even cautiously. “Rod gets it!” still rings true. The SL client has improved in leaps and bounds (At least on ~my~ computer) the servers are behaving with less and less hiccups. We’re seeing fun little advances slide their way into the grid with each update with a continuously firm promise that Mesh will arrive near the end of summer. (^_^)
That’s pretty good. (^_^)
Communications are a mixed bag, though. Community managers like Blondin left the lab for more or less unknown reasons. So customer communities have found themselves breaking in new Labbies in order to get their support channels back. Inworld Labbie presence seem to have reduced. Though, any time I have asked for support, things have gone well. My experience with the Labbies tends to be more positive than most anyway. (O.o)
Now, on to Rodvik. He’s “Out there”. This is a good thing. He’s keeping an eye on Twitter, the forums, and various messaging outlets that the Lab’s customers are using. He has provided direct contact for people with relatively extreme situations if he found they voiced their problems publicly enough. He’s going quite out of his way to provide support beyond the regular channels available in SL. (^_^)
But, that’s the problem. He’s tugging the line so far, given the volume of incidents popping up. But, the SL grid has a lot of people. Just yesterday he has responded to Ina Centaur’s pleas on Twitter. This is good. But, how soon will he have to draw a line? And, where does the line get drawn? It’s wonderful that he’s contributing to providing a positive support experience for the Lab’s customers, but, why should he have to be doing this in the first place? (O.o)
It is quite telling of Linden Lab support channels, though. Given we’ve observed a general history of the lab giving paying customers the shaft over petty billing issues while ‘free’ accounts get a free ride with most whatever they can do. If he were around when Aley had issues with billing over Privateer Space, would it have worked out? (o.O)
Long story short. Rod getting involved in customer support cases is a bad solution for a problem which shouldn’t ever come up. He’s just one person and he has a company to run. While the volume is low, this will be okay. But, what about when he gets ten support claims per day on Twitter? What if people catch on and go to him before addressing customer service in the first place? How long until his inworld profile has to read like Torley’s? (=_=)
At the moment, I can suggest that customer service as a whole receives some attention. Find methods to make it more efficient. Provide support and be informative as soon as a ticket passes triage. Even if it’s simply an update in availability and progress. People like progress bars for long running software functions. They don’t need to provide a percentage or anything of the sort… Just enough evidence that something is actually being done. This way, people lose their doubts. Without doubts, the customer base will be less likely to reach to the top of the ladder to get anything done. (=_=)
I like to see support. But, I fear that Rodvik’s approach may backfire soon. I hope he has already seen this and is making move in the lab to maximize customer interactions come time to provide a solution. Linden Lab support has been a generally laughable subject. It’s fun to have a subject to laugh at. But, it’s preferable to have a support department that doesn’t rely on escalation to higher rungs in the ladder. (>_<)
Okay, so that frigg’n unlaggy project client that came out yesterday? Well DUDE!!! Looks like the rendering fixes made it to the main in 2.7. (OoO)
I mean…
HolyfreakingJesusonapogostickWTFZOMGLMAOLOLcats!!! (O_O)
I also heard that one of the RC channels is getting group chat updates or something of the sort? Either way, a few friends and I did a quick Ad-hoc and we felt like we were on a direct individual IM. (>_>)
Is this like, the first SLnB I seen where the labbies don’t screw up everything? Or, dude! Can this get better? X3
Mkay, I started tinkering with the new project viewer for estate side windlight settings.
http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Linden_Lab_Official:Alternate_Viewers#Windlight_Region_Settings
It’s cool. I’m having fun with it. But…
WHERE’S THE LAG!?! (O_O)
I mean it… It’s like someone found the “MAKE SL FSK’NG AWESOME” bit and toggled it. Like… client_Lag_Off in debug settings. Like, ZOMGWTFholycrapthisthingisfast! (O_O)
Here I am… In Ultra settings… 256Meter draw distance… AND I HAVE SHADOWS ENABLED!!! (O_O)
And… I CAN WALK! (O_O)
And… I CAN TURN AROUND! (O_O)
And… I’m frak’n almost hyperventilating with excitement over this newfound performance. Honestly, this is a frame rate that I couldn’t even achieve while using Kirsten’s. (O_O)
Oh, add, I can take screenshots without crashing. And, high-rez screenshots work again too. Plus, it runs new-new search… Which I totally enjoy. =^-^=
This is the new look of lag for me. (^_^)
And, dood… It’s look’n goooooooooood. =^-^=
