SL Entrepreneurs Gather: Daniel Terdiman Transcript

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Daniel was kind enough to post the transcript from his discussion at the last SL Entrepreneurs Gather. I’m sad that I had to miss it, and looking forward to the next one on the first Thursday of November (November 1st!). If you have ideas for group topics or speakers, drop an IM on Forseti Svarog.

Thank you to Pica (who took the above picture) and Jade for helping organize.  Oh, I look forward to the day when “missing image” clothing becomes a retro style, rather than an annoying bug.

Friday evening: user difficulties

Friday, October 5th, 2007

We’ve been hearing reports that some users are having problems with OnRez tonight, and it appears that Second Life in general is having some troubles (teleports failing, SL search down, group info blank, and Linden$ balances failing to load) which could be impeding deliveries and vendors.  We will take a look at what is happening as soon as possible and try to fix anything if it is happening on our end. Many thanks!

New Categories

Monday, October 1st, 2007

Jewelry CategoriesFor your browsing pleasure, we’ve added a few new categories to Shop. We made “Jewelry” a second level category under apparel, and added subcategories for bracelets, earrings, necklaces, rings, and tiaras. We also added “Bags” under Apparel -> Accessories. If you have any further category suggestions, I’d love to hear them. Please submit any feedback via our support portal. Thanks!
