Marx Dudek on Apr 22nd 2008 Second World Downtime
In response to the latest angst-fest on Second Life’s official blog:
Is the sky falling? Is your world crashing down around you? Easy solution.
Close your web browser, turn off your computer, and go outside. If you’re still worried about your Second Life, go get hit by a bus.
Now granted, this doesn’t apply to those who actually earn a genuine living in SL, but for those for whom downtime drives them to wish AIDS on Phillip Linden, it most certainly does.
Thank you, Shadowquine - though I fear your words will be lost on those who need them the most. Get miffed, yes. Get annoyed, sure. If you’re earning a living off of SL, get angry. But if you’re wishing diseases on people, it’s probably time for you to get some fresh air and some perspective.

So tonight, while everyone is either locked out or in world with half their clothes missing and attachments pending, I suppose I’ll write something.
Tonight is my last opportunity to be in-world this weekend. It also happens to be the in-world day from hell. It also happens to be the day when Linden Labs charges me for the privilege of upgrading from quarterly premium to annual premium. Yes, I’ve been ranting and carrying on like a hormonal teenager.
Wow, was I actually thinking about starting a business in Second Life? Why yes … yes, I was! How foolish of me!
Of course, all will be forgotten once the grid is back online. There’s something about the ability to finally log in after prolonged downtime that gives us all goldfish memory.
Edit: Saw this on SLUniverse. Priceless!
