They closed some offices in Erope today and at least 100 Lindens lost thier jobs rl. According to a friend in sl, they are sending out black armbands to everyone. I'll be saving textures and such to use in the other grids. Looks like I found a new home just in time.

1. Lindens have X-Ray vision This is untrue. Their ability to see you naked has nothing to do with X-Rays. 2. There are only ten Lindens and they rotate through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. This is untrue. There are over 50 Lindens who cycle through many accounts to make it seem like there are more. 3. Lindens have the ability to turn your avatar into a fish. This is untrue. Lindens abilities to turn people into other forms of life is limited to changing you to a toad. 4. Lindens put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. In 2005 this became a myth when FeeFieFoeFanna Linden perfected the first dual legged virtual trouser fitting device (using only four prims!). In 2007 it became a complete impossibility when the official uniform Linden dresscode mandated a nice plaid kilt or skirt. 5. All new Lindens traditionally make a bear to give SL citizens as tokens of goodwill. The real purpose of the bear making tradition is to ...

Today's sim: Here Island The home of Torley Linden. I'm sure there's a way out somewhere. Oh noessss!!! The waterlins have taken Torley!!! What ever shall we do? I would normally say some captions here, but I'll let the pics speak for themselves. There is a night club of sorts on his isle. I don't know what music he plays or if it's his, but it's good. One thing to mention is that Torley put on the shooting thing for the entire sim. So if you see your heart meter show up, be for warned.

There's a new owner on the adult continent. ME!!!!! Oo; * Facepalms, then feints* I thought I was buying the build itself. Turns out not the case.

It says "Corporate Censorship Protecting You From Virtual Reality"

This castle in Kuula region / sim has been a victim of a grieffer. As the story goes, someone (griffer maybe) decided to take advantage of LL's new re-zoning idea. This castle has been a fixture for... I don't know how long. As long as I've been hanging out here. It went missing for 4 to 5 days. This castle housed artwork from in world users and one of those pieces of art was one with nipples. It's back now, without the art work. The castle is going to be used as a classroom by NCI. The owner is trying to get the artwork back.

[15:00] Michael Linden: Up here, folks, about 70,123

Linden Lab, the creator of Second Life, has announced its acquisition of two web-based marketplaces for virtual goods, Xstreet SL and OnRez. The two websites, which sold in-game items to Second Life users, are to be consolidated in order to make it easier for Second Life shoppers to find virtual goods. According to Linden Lab, the global market for virtual goods is now USD 1.5 billion, of which Second Life accounts for USD 360 million.

The Lindens are doing something special for Valentines day. http://blog.secondlife.com/2009/02/11/valentines-day-fun/ Certian note of intrest: This is the first time I've heard of them doing something like this on the Teen Grid.

A post on the SLC blog by Tepic has brought up a good point: "I would be quite worried if I was playing an adult AV, because I would never know if that rather stunning person I just met, with the wonderful eyes and a body to kill for was actually under age in rl. It could get some people in big trouble very quickly." My reaction to this is that LL had better invest in some good lawyers. Why? Can you say Myspace? Myspace is known to be open to all peoples of all ages. Now they are cracking down on pedophiles and harassment lawsuits. So now SL is going to be for all ages. So yes, parents be aware of this fact. Now how do you protect your child? Another thing ocoured to me a while back. What is stopping underage RL kids from getting into SL anyway? Think about other ways kids can get IDs other than a drivers lisince. Yes, I know my spelling is crap. I've got Lindens having sex on my keyboard. :O

Our Lindens, who art in the Labs, Hallowed be thy prims. Thy Grid-dom come, thy will be done, On sims, as it is in The Preview. Give us this day our daily crash, And forgive us our Spammery. As we forgive those, who greif against us And lead us not, into private parcels. Amen.
