User:Torley Linden
Torley is a Community Developer of Communications...
which means improving our systems and processes for sharing resources with Residents to make Second Life BETTER — blog, Public Issue Tracker, wiki, free textures,
Video Tutorials, you got it! Torley's also an archfoe of pronouns, so he/she/it naturally finds solace in the inworld experience of cycling through avatars, aggregating hot issues, and being an all-'round lighting rod for Connections. Said Torley dreams of a cheery future when Second Life is as ubiquitous as iPods and blue jeans.
What am I doing? Check out my personal blog.
(I was considering updating this wiki with stuff I'm working on, but decided my blog is a better place for my ongoing thoughts + feelings. This is subject to change, and change is like water in Second Life.)
How to contact me
I prefer simple, old-fashioned email. torley at lindenlab dot com is my address. I can't promise to respond because I get a lot of correspondence, but I try to read everything I get. Requests to check out places inworld and such are usually saved for relaxation times on weekends.
As shared in my Web profile tab, "IMs and notecards get missed because I'm busy working". I often have to login for a quick meeting, or to repro a bug, then logout.
Again, due to time constraints, I don't usually reply to comments on other sites (e.g., Flickr and YouTube) but occasionally, if it's especially eclectic, I do.
If you want to meet me inworld, Office Hours are your answer. I love having visitors. Please accept my advance apologies I will likely not be able to attend events I'm invited to.
Anyone is free to contact me! However, please note I can't help or forward help requests; you'll want to use the the Support Portal for those. My work queue is already overflowing and to add to that would mean to slow down responsibilities I've already committed to. Questions about my direct responsibilities get higher priority, especially if only I can answer them. And there are times when frequently-asked questions get turned into resources... see below.
Thanks graciously for understanding. :)
Superfantastic resources I enjoy
- Developers Resource Matrix - It's kinda hard to find on our website, but it's got lots of helpful links I refer to regularly. If you're a content creator or looking to Do-It-Yourself, bookmark it and keep it close.
- PacificRim Exchange's Learning Page - I've seen a lot of resource link lists, and this one is teh trump. Categorization is lovely, and it includes a lot of helpful highlights. Thanx to Claudia Linden for lettin' me know.
- Office Hours - For those times when you wanna meet a Linden. And discuss stuff.
