Long overdue
All I can say is it’s about time.
Second Life Forums - Grid-wide Attacks: Disclosures in Law Enforcement Investigations
In the last month there have been several attacks in which users of Second Life have intentionally released objects or taken actions intended to disrupt activity in the Second Life grid. These attacks result in substantial real-world economic harm, and Linden Lab intends to protect its interests using all legal means.Although most people using Second Life are enjoying the fun and creativity that the platform provides, a few malicious individuals are intentionally acting to impair some or all of the Second Life grid. Please note that personal and account information of these individuals will be disclosed to appropriate law enforcement agencies for further investigation, including U.S. state and federal authorities and agencies in applicable international jurisdictions.
Again, we’d like to thank all of the residents who make Second Life such a great experience, and we are sorry that a few people choose to engage in harmful activity.
The Great Scam
In light of the Ginko Financial discussion going on in the forums, I thought this story, The Great Scam, might be worth sharing. I also want to say job well done to the internet archive for having a copy - the original site was gone, but had been slashdotted. Anyhow, you will have to CTRL-A - HIGHLIGHT the page to read it (it’s white on light background).
VoteMaster 5000
So the VoteMaster 5000 is ready. 1$. Can handle a large crowd without exploding, and fairly tamper proof. Same Machine that handled the SL Trailers contest. Enjoy…
You’re Only a Newbie Once
That title is pretty true. For me, it translates to “Everyone Wears A Box On Their Head Once”.
So it’s seems the Wired sexy-techy columnist is in SL.
Truth is, she does one of the better concise explanation of what SL is that I have seen in a while. I wonder if I’ve bumped into her in SL?
Well, I think it’s funny.
Happy Fun Land is now open. Watch out for Brainy Bear. He’ll eat them.

Welcome to Happy Fun Land
Well, I think it's funny.
It was going to start as a construction zone. But instead, it's Happy FUn Land. Papers please.
Smile or else. In a nod to Sterling, I think I will put people under 60 days old under the dogs.
New Neighbours
Well, it was too good to last.
Games1 has new neighbours. The good news is, it seems to be another Linden Adventures in Zoning. So, it is suburbia all the way. Lucky for me, I know someone who makes spray paint and skateboards. All I need now is a slingshot.
Will the new residents of Blumfield match the suburburbia stereotype? We will see. I still have some first land, (I think - I have had rules debate with someone. I haven't bought land yet at all, but I donated my tier to group). I suspect it will be auctioned though. Has little SL realty signs.
Right now it's as good as having a private sandbox next door.
Builder’s Eye
Hey all…
so I’m pretty excited about my new widget. Nothing too fancy, but still very cool.
It’s a new movement tool, which happens to have a nice side effect of making large building easier.
So I’m trying something different, and decided to release it here first - feel free to pass by €Games 1 - Near the base of the elevator.
