[8:05]	Linden:	Ok, let's see....
[8:06]	Linden:	This week, no rolling restart
[8:06]	Linden:	simulators are safe for now
[8:06]	Tegg Bode:	Hmm so whats on your plate this week CG?
[8:06]	Erinyse Planer:	*pouts* no fix yet for collissions then?
[8:06]	Linden:	for me it's a short week
[8:06]	Gellan Glenelg:	no meeting on 4th, I assume?
[8:06]	Linden:	well, we'll deploy next week's rolling restart on the beta^h^h^h^hpreview grid (aditi)
[8:07]	Linden:	nope, I'll be sleepong in that day :)
[8:07]	Erinyse Planer makes plans to go sit fireworks off outside cg's house *giggles evilly*
[8:08]	Linden:	One problem is that our lead physics guy is on vacation, so all bugs havingto do with physics will take a while to get fixed
[8:08]	Linden:	including Lam's favorite critter
[8:08]	Lamorna Proctor:	does that include the fix i need for chess, etc?
[8:08]	Lamorna Proctor:	:(
[8:09]	Linden:	sorry, but tat guy's been working 12h days ever since I got to LindenLab
[8:09]	Lamorna Proctor:	i'm getting increasing flak from customers
[8:09]	Close Range:	Arcadia Jonson [36m]
[8:09]	Erinyse Planer pouts "the rp sim owners and the weopons makers are getting really hurt by the collision issue
[8:09]	Chat Range:	Arcadia Jonson [17m]
[8:09]	Chat Range:	Nite Zelmanov [16m]
[8:09]	Erinyse Planer:	especially byu the idiots that buy weopons then complain they dont work even when shown the jira that explains why they dont work *sighs*
[8:10]	Linden:	well, it looks like the following ones will be fixed next week, though:
[8:10]	Linden:	SVC-2485: Phantom Objects Collide with Virtual Prims in 1.22.2
[8:10]	Linden:	SVC-2484: llVolumeDetect() Fails to detect some avatars
[8:11]	Linden:	are those the collision bugs you were refering to?
[8:11]	Tegg Bode:	Hmm that could be trouble by the sounds of things, well, it will get fixed eventually I guess
[8:11]	Chat Range:	Sheet Spotter [16m]
[8:12]	HALEY Salomon:	that jumping bug ,, seems to be back the one ,, we just fly up for no reason .
[8:12]	Battery Street Irregulars whispers: Thanks for your interest in the Battery Street Irregulars. We'll be contacting you soon!
[8:12]	HALEY Salomon:	Is tat on the list to be fixed
[8:12]	Erinyse Planer:	thats two of the issues yes
[8:13]	Linden:	Don't think so... I showed it to Andrew (our physics guy) before he left
[8:13]	Linden:	Hi Nite...
[8:13]	Linden:	and he kind of went "oh no, not that again" :)
[8:13]	HALEY Salomon:	ops
[8:14]	Linden:	this week, we're continuing to tweak the web services
[8:15]	Linden:	unfortunately, they are proving to be a new generator of failure points
[8:15]	Linden:	this Sunday they were the cause of disruptions
[8:15]	Linden:	mainly due to a "spiral of doom" type effect
[8:15]	Chat Range:	01 Hifeng [16m]
[8:15]	Erinyse Planer:	that doesnt sound good
[8:16]	Linden:	were a heavy weight request triggers a lot of secondary requests, which backs up other requests and increases the load, which ....
[8:16]	Linden:	there are also some design issues that weren't quite thought through ....
[8:17]	Erinyse Planer:	so what does this mean?
[8:17]	Erinyse Planer:	that theres going to be another redesign?
[8:17]	Tegg Bode:	Yep that's life I suppose, have to break a few eggs occasionally
[8:18]	Linden:	it mainly means that the replacement of all database calls with web services will take a little while...
[8:19]	Linden:	on the other hand, they do provide a nice framework, and this week we are deploying a preliminary code set which will eventually permit escrow-type transactions
[8:19]	Lamorna Proctor pricks up her ears
[8:19]	Linden:	this will eventually allow objects to detect whether transactions succeeded....
[8:19]	Lamorna Proctor:	:)
[8:19]	Linden:	but the emphasis is on eventuallu
[8:20]	Erinyse Planer:	meaning still probably months away ... we understand
[8:20]	Linden:	as far as I'm concerned, it is -way- beyond my horizon
[8:20]	Linden:	but eh, we got some of our best people working on it
[8:20]	Lamorna Proctor:	It's not just L$ transactions we need that for, we also need confirmation that inventory offers have been accepted
[8:21]	Linden:	yes, the idea is that you collect all parts of a "bargain" and only proceed of all parts are present.
[8:21]	Linden:	if
[8:21]	Lamorna Proctor:	good
[8:22]	Erinyse Planer:	cg anyword on if SVC-2511 is going to be addressed at all next week?
[8:24]	Linden:	Looking
[8:24]	Chat Range:	Saijanai Kuhn [16m]
[8:25]	Linden:	If you think PJIRA is slow, you should see how slow our internal Jira is :)
[8:26]	HALEY Salomon:	CG ,, that sliding into the room animation is great did u make it ??
[8:26]	Linden:	well, I guess it will come up eventually :)
[8:26]	Erinyse Planer:	nto worried about slowness "*Shrugs** but... worried about the fact ive seen three weopons makers out of business 4 others strugling, and 3 rp sim sets on the verge of clsoing
[8:26]	Linden:	No, I didn't make it
[8:26]	HALEY Salomon:	landmark please ??
[8:27]	Linden:	Outrider animations it was
[8:27]	HALEY Salomon:	okes
[8:28]	Linden:	so, it doesn't look like that one's going to be in 1.23 (next week's sim rollout)
[8:28]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: White moves 1. e2-e4

[8:30]	HALEY Salomon:	it is weird,,, that so many people care what color blue,, it is ..
[8:30]	Tegg Bode:	Andrac occassionaly, but perhaps it was during rollouts last week?
[8:30]	Lamorna Proctor personally likes the current RC viewer and doesn't understand the fuss
[8:30]	Erinyse Planer:	haley its cause the ligheter blue is too low contrast AND a seizure trigger for some epileptics

[8:45]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Move 5, Black to play
[8:45]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Please click a piece, and then click one of the squares outlined in blue to move it to that square
[8:45]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Sorry, it is Black to move
[8:45]	Linden:	but I actually think that a lot of work is going to be happening viewer side, it is definitely where the attention is focussed now
[8:46]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: You must move out of check
[8:46]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Move 5, Black to play
[8:46]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Please click a piece, and then click one of the squares outlined in blue to move it to that square
[8:46]	Erinyse Planer nods "i bet, but i still think its the right decision
[8:46]	Sculpted Chess Set V3.0.2 whispers: Move 5, Black to play

[8:46]	Linden:	so when I said I don't know what's up after mono, it may well be that we'll only do bug fixes server side for a while and concentrate more effort on the viewer and related items
[8:47]	Linden:	"new User experience" is the main thing "M" is looking at ...
[8:47]	Sheet Spotter hopes CG gets to sneak in a summer vacation. :-)
[8:48]	Linden:	and as we all know, the current new user experience is not exactly, well, frankly, it sucks
[8:48]	Chat Range:	HALEY Salomon [2m]
[8:48]	Erinyse Planer:	careful cg that much honesty might get you in trouble lol
[8:48]	Erinyse Planer:	hahaha
[8:48]	Erinyse Planer hugs
[8:48]	Lamorna Proctor:	what kind of things are you thinking of doing to improve it?
[8:49]	Linden:	well, the new avis are one little thing we did
[8:49]	Chat Range:	Rajan String [6m]
[8:49]	Tegg Bode:	Hmm we need to get them into the sex sim easier :)
[8:49]	Linden:	but mainly trying to streamline the registration process
[8:49]	Linden:	and of course the OIs...
[8:49]	Chat Range:	HALEY Salomon [2m]
[8:50]	Linden:	I don't think you'll find anyone who actually likes the current setup
[8:50]	Lamorna Proctor:	my only concern is that in making the UI easier for noobs you don't make life more difficult for experienced residents
[8:50]	Nite Zelmanov:	Some of the privately implemented regportal orientations have been really good
[8:50]	Linden:	yes, and there is a big effort to keep those going...
[8:51]	Linden:	but interetingly enough, retention rates from those are not significantly different than from ours
[8:51]	Erinyse Planer:	theres a couple of lindens frankly that all by themselves have hurt user expereince too cg
[8:51]	Linden:	the asian community gateways do slightly better than us, the european ones actually do worse
[8:51]	Saijanai Kuhn:	I think the issue s if people log in during peak hours, their experience is going to suck, period due to the brekage of the network
[8:52]	Linden:	These are really tough problems....
[8:52]	Tegg Bode:	Yeah, I don't think new people realise how easiy it is to create things here and how many options are available, they are just shown to walk, fly, tp and wear clothes
[8:52]	Saijanai Kuhn:	max concurrency overwhelms the system and everything goes south
[8:53]	HALEY Salomon:	I do not think the problem is the hard learning curve I think it's that stuff just doesn't work and the new people think its them
[8:53]	Saijanai Kuhn:	I know you guys have started login freezes and that helps, but then people just can't login which is alkso a problem :-(
[8:53]	Linden:	yep, that's where the whole dataservice effort is going, to make that more scalable
[8:53]	HALEY Salomon:	at least the new people in my class,,
[8:54]	Tegg Bode:	Yes unfortunately peak times are when the maximum number of real users want to be logged in but can't.
[8:54]	Linden:	One of the reasons we want agent domains is also so we can use them ourselves to partition the user table....
[8:54]	Saijanai Kuhn:	hopefuly, as the new Agent DOmain/ Region domain gets implemented, a lot of issues will naturally correct themselves
[8:54]	Erinyse Planer:	allot of premium acocunts get ticked off too caus ethey think they should be able to login durring restrictions. theres really not allot of incentive to get premiums atm
[8:55]	Linden:	we actually can do that, but you should have seen the backlash when we tried it :)
[8:55]	Saijanai Kuhn:	CG, so you can distribute which server is handling x number of agents at any moment?
[8:55]	HALEY Salomon:	the backlash from all the people who rent.. their sims ,, two nonpaying members ???
[8:55]	Linden:	not at the moment, no... everything still goes to one central database
[8:55]	Tegg Bode:	Yeah I think perhaps they would be better logging out any accounts that have been online for 24 hours
[8:55]	Saijanai Kuhn:	well, I meant with Agent Domain
[8:56]	Linden:	that would be the idea, yes
[8:56]	Tegg Bode:	maybe 12 hours might be better
[8:56]	HALEY Salomon:	noooo ,, I am o for 12 hours
[8:56]	Lamorna Proctor:	there are a lot of bot accounts that would be affected by that
[8:56]	HALEY Salomon:	and I ay concierge,, for the privilege
[8:56]	Shawna Montgomery:	me too
[8:56]	Linden:	in some ways, there already is a natural evoplution to "agent domains", we actually already have half of an agent domain....
[8:56]	Saijanai Kuhn:	yeah, I understand the fornt end ideas, but you guys do what you like on the backend, so we have to guess what it will mean
[8:56]	Linden:	it's called the inventory db server :)
[8:57]	Tegg Bode:	The only problem is alot of bot accounts would hammer the grid with auto relogs straight away too
[8:57]	Sheet Spotter:	Bot accounts would automatically log on again. :-(
[8:57]	Lamorna Proctor:	yes
[8:57]	Erinyse Planer:	there shoudl be a way to dsiable bto acocunts period
[8:57]	Linden:	and one of the things we are doing is moving agent specific data from the central db to the inventory dbs
[8:57]	Erinyse Planer:	*disable bot accounts
[8:57]	Saijanai Kuhn:	Kelly and I were talking about an official bot avatar type to make the server programming easier. Something about the itnerest list
[8:58]	Tegg Bode:	maybe prevent relogging for 4 hours on accounts online for 24 hours?
[8:58]	Linden:	well, let me know if you find a way to autodetect bots :)
[8:58]	Lamorna Proctor:	well, if there were a way in script to do things like invite people into groups, that would reduce the need for bots
[8:58]	Sheet Spotter:	There are a few reliable ways to detect a bot. :-)
[8:58]	Linden:	please tell :)
[8:58]	Saijanai Kuhn:	well, no, this would be officially logging in as a bot. No 3D info ever sent out
[8:59]	Linden:	and besides, some bots do useful stuff
[8:59]	Saijanai Kuhn:	so it would reduce the server load. Useful for store bots, NPCs and monsters in RPG sims
[8:59]	Lamorna Proctor:	yes, but the group thing would be a useful addition to script
[8:59]	Linden:	and as Saijanai points out, it would actually be helpful if we had a mode for bots...
[8:59]	Saijanai Kuhn:	and wouldn't count against the normal avatar count on a sim
[8:59]	Tegg Bode:	well whether they are a bot or not if they have been online for 24 hours, and haven't moved in last hour or so, there's good chance there's no person at the keyboard, which is a s good as a bot IMO
[9:00]	Linden:	yeah, but those people don't really create problems either
[9:00]	Gellan Glenelg:	not moved in the last hour? The bots I see are constantly tping in /out
[9:00]	Linden:	the ones that do create problems are those that do stuff
[9:00]	Linden:	especially the ones that try to harvest data
[9:01]	Saijanai Kuhn:	ironically, the first of those was Dale Glass's map bot
[9:01]	Erinyse Planer:	like the one that leads peopel to a page that has the fake login to sl, then takes over their acocunt and uses it to spam others?
[9:01]	Tegg Bode:	Well if they have ben online for daysor weeks they are probably bots too. Trouble is sorting good bots from bad, some have legitimate uses, like group invite bots
[9:01]	Saijanai Kuhn:	and as long as it was just one, I don't think anyone minded.
[9:01]	Erinyse Planer:	but you dont need a bto to do group invites
[9:02]	Erinyse Planer:	theres plenty of scritps that do so without bots
[9:02]	Lamorna Proctor:	if an object is owned by a group, it should be possible to implement a LL API call to invite to and eject from a group
[9:02]	Lamorna Proctor:	maybe someone has already PJIRAed that
[9:02]	Lamorna Proctor will check
[9:02]	Erinyse Planer:	its already possible
[9:03]	Saijanai Kuhn:	with the new pyogp scripted bots, there will be a LOT of new uses for bots. Hopefully we'll have it sorted out by the time they become useful to people
[9:03]	Gellan Glenelg:	http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-273 (Allow Scripts To Send Group Invitations)
[9:03]	Lamorna Proctor:	How Erinyse? I'm not awar of a way to do it?
[9:03]	Lamorna Proctor:	*aware
[9:03]	Tegg Bode:	We really need verification, connecting all accounts to a RL person, then LL will know who is running over 5 accounts and have the otion to do domething
[9:04]	Trinity Coulter:	why
[9:04]	Lamorna Proctor:	Having multiple accounts is not in itself a bad thing
[9:04]	Saijanai Kuhn:	the new login model is supposed to tie everything to one account, but that doesn't keep you from having 2 or more accoutns anyway
[9:04]	Lamorna Proctor:	There are many legitimate uses for alts
[9:05]	HALEY Salomon:	but the rule is five
[9:05]	Saijanai Kuhn:	sure, but eventually, there should be a way to share inventory between alts on the same acount
[9:05]	Erinyse Planer:	i have three and two friends have ones that they sometimes log in from where i am. why would i wnat LL to dsiable me for haivng multiple accounts?
[9:05]	Lamorna Proctor:	As a designer and scripter, I need to test things as an alt, to check permissions, etc.
[9:05]	Shawna Montgomery:	why did they stop charging the fee for extra accounts?
[9:06]	Gellan Glenelg:	yes, I have/need alts... but can you give a legitimate reason for having 100 alts?
[9:06]	HALEY Salomon:	none
[9:06]	Erinyse Planer:	if i cant have more then five accounts ild probably stop playing ll
[9:06]	Linden:	I don't know for sure, but my guess is that policing alts and recovering the fee isjust too much trouble
[9:06]	Erinyse Planer:	*sl
[9:06]	Saijanai Kuhn:	lol talk to enus. I think he has 300+
[9:06]	Lamorna Proctor:	i'd forget all their names :)
[9:06]	Sheet Spotter:	100 alts means you always have someone to talk to! :-)
[9:06]	Linden:	well, QA is different
[9:06]	Lamorna Proctor:	let alone their passwords
[9:06]	Tegg Bode:	No but once you start getting over 5 or 6 it's a bit needless and trouble is at moment anyone eligable for hotmail can creat 4 or 5 accounts for each disposable email. So any kid can create accounts too
[9:06]	Saijanai Kuhn:	tesert1 tester2 tester3...
[9:07]	Erinyse Planer:	now i WOULD pay like an extra $5 or $10 a year for at least two alts and tie them to my main to get the extra support and land owning ability that coems with premium
[9:07]	Lamorna Proctor:	i wouldn't be seen dead with some of my alts ;)
[9:08]	HALEY Salomon:	not me ,,,mine are gorgeous
[9:08]	Tegg Bode:	Yes that is a bit silly that my legally created alts don't have access to same support as my paying main account
[9:08]	Saijanai Kuhn:	all my alts are ruthed usually. They log in stand around, spam groups that never get the messages I try to send...
[9:08]	Erinyse Planer:	i dotn thionk its smart or practical to say "you cant have more then five acocutns"
[9:08]	HALEY Salomon:	I agree
[9:09]	Tegg Bode:	There is LL just have to make sure every person playing is verified in some way.
[9:09]	Lamorna Proctor:	it's certainly not policed, and as CG says it's far too difficult to do it on a continuous basis
[9:10]	Lamorna Proctor:	IP addresses change, MAC addresses change when someone buys a new computer
[9:10]	Tegg Bode:	The gate is open and but horses are still running through it, we shoult close it at some point
[9:10]	01 Hifeng:	if verification - not by credit card, because not everyone is willing to show his/her credit card's number to random companies -_-
[9:10]	Linden:	well, we are 10 minutes over, and i need to get to work...
[9:10]	Lamorna Proctor:	ok, thanks CG
[9:10]	HALEY Salomon:	thank you this was fun and informative
[9:10]	Gellan Glenelg:	thanks CG
[9:10]	Saijanai Kuhn:	thanks CG
[9:10]	Tegg Bode:	You are at work :)
[9:11]	Bri Gufler:	Thanks for having us CG
[9:11]	Sheet Spotter:	Thank you for this hour (and ten minutes) CG! :-)
[9:11]	Saijanai Kuhn:	BTW, if anyone is ageek under the skin, the AW Groupies meeting starts in 20 minutes. IM me for a group invite
[9:11]	Tegg Bode:	Yep thx :)
[9:11]	Linden:	your welcome...
[9:11]	Lamorna Proctor:	what's that all about, Saijanai?
[9:11]	Linden:	/m remembers to save chatlog
[9:11]	Earadriede Callisto:	thanks CG
