“Blips on the Grid”

If Second Life seems buggier than normal lately, that’s because it is.

In an SL blog entry on January 18th, FJ Linden admits that “over the past 4-6 weeks, we have had some regular operational blips, specifically affecting logins, teleports, and in world performance. “ The reason for this he says are that Linden Labs is relocating from it’s central database in San Francisco, and taking the opportunity to upgrade some old infastrucure. Trouble is, it seems someone forgot to write some paperwork on these “legacy systems that are deeply tied to every part of the Second Life experience. ... In many cases these systems were designed and deployed with little or incomplete documentation, which only adds to the challenge of migrating with minimal disruption.”

Comments after the post were a mix of some relief as they now had an explanation of why things were buggy, with some wishes that things would be better soon.

FJ Linden states that they are “in the final stages” and that it will most likely continue for “the next few weeks.”
