Downtime Blues


Yes we are all bored and keeping fingers crossed that another 'fix' will actually get some of the issues 'resolved' rather than make matters worse.

While waiting for the grid to come back up I thought i would read through some of the comments on the official Linden blog when i came across this one comment which I think deserves a read, this comment was posted on August 19th when log in issues were a real problem along with the usual SL glitches that everyone has had to work with the last few weeks:

Several definitions for “RESOLVED” from dictionary.com:
1. to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.

2. to separate into constituent or elementary parts; break up; cause or disintegrate (usually fol. by into).

3. to reduce or convert by, or as by, breaking up or disintegration (usually fol. by to or into).

4. to convert or transform by any process (often used reflexively).

5. to reduce by mental analysis (often fol. by into).

6. to settle, determine, or state formally in a vote or resolution, as of a deliberative assembly.

7. to deal with (a question, a matter of uncertainty, etc.) conclusively; settle; solve: to resolve the question before the board.

8. to clear away or dispel (doubts, fears, etc.); answer: to resolve any doubts we may have had.

9. Chemistry. to separate (a racemic mixture) into optically active components.

10. Music. to cause (a voice part or the harmony as a whole) to progress from a dissonance to a consonance.

11. Optics. to separate and make visible the individual parts of (an image); distinguish between.

12. Medicine/Medical. to cause (swellings, inflammation, etc.) to disappear without suppuration.–verb (used without object)

13. to come to a determination; make up one’s mind; determine (often fol. by on or upon): to resolve on a plan of action.

14. to break up or disintegrate.

15. to be reduced or changed by breaking up or otherwise (usually fol. by to or into).


You are probably using definitions 1 and/or 7.
Although some might believe you’re going with definitions 2, 3, 14 or 15.
So yeah, I guess “resolved” is about right.


I will leave it up to you to decide which definition you think LL means
