Let me try to clear up some things for everyone on the dreaded DB errors and resulting chaos known as "Baby Ready" nests... (Read more)

This generic "DB Error" is really a catch all for a large array of various problems, it usually is some network outage between LL servers and ours, and randomly clears up as mysteriously as it arrived. So if you get one of these errors, what do you do?

Tonight's blog post comes to you in three parts! (Read more)

Outage: Our hosting provider suffered another wacky outage when a cluster of 4 DNS servers all failed and the remaining servers buckled under the load for ~40mins just a bit ago. /sigh We are hosted at Rackspace and are paying top $$$ for what's supposed to be 1000% up time, but then there is always Murphy's Law. Grrrrrr!!

Lots of stuff in the works over here at our studios. I talked about much of it at the Sacred Tome awhile back, but I felt it best to get it all down in writing here on the blog, since I know not everyone got a chance to listen to that talk. (More)

There was a scheduled maintenance at our hosting provider tonight that was not supposed to affect any live sites, however as we've all seen something went awry.

They broke many of their hardware load balancers, so while all our servers are up and running just fine, no traffic can get through to them for the time being.

Unfortunately, we are at their mercy, there's nothing we can do ATM except wait for them to fix the issue. (More)

UPDATE: This issue had also stopped the fellowship rankings from being recalculated hourly, so that is working again now as well.

There was a slight glitch after the server maintenance on Sunday that prevented animations from downloading when coaxed or rebuilt. This has been fixed.

If you have a poor lil roo that only scoots or doesn't play any of it's animations, no need to file a ticket, just use the REBUILD button on your HUD and it will come back happy as can be.

Sorry for the mix-up!

UPDATE: 7:33AM DB Migration Completed.

There was supposed to have been a notice last night about another downtime Sunday morning 6-8am as well. Sorry for the short notice, but hopefully this will be the last of the DB fixes for awhile!

Thankfully everything went according to plan, and this mornings DB downtime only lasted 10 minutes. Ty for your patience!

Ty all for your patience! They tell me things will get better before I need a rubber room! FYI: Linden Lab is really stepping up their game to try to help us out and we certainly appreciate it!
