* [15:00] Oskar Linden: Good day to you all! | |||
* [15:00] Flip Idlemind: Hai guize | |||
* [15:00] Oskar Linden: we'll give a few minutes for people to log in and rez | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: you guys miss me last week? | |||
* [15:02] Kallista Destiny: Yes | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: aww | |||
* [15:02] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: Did you have a bad hangover? :p | |||
* [15:02] Kallista Destiny: Alwasy miss you | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: actually I fared quite well | |||
* [15:02] Coyot Linden: but we will try to aim better | |||
* [15:02] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: Hehe. | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: Wednesday night was crazy though | |||
* [15:02] Larre LeborskiLarre Leborski knows he missed Oskar.. | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: drinking til midnight | |||
* [15:02] Flip Idlemind: Figured you'd party hard, since you only get 1 birthday every 4 years* | |||
* [15:02] Oskar Linden: then chilling out in a hokah bar | |||
* [15:03] Oskar Linden: hookah | |||
* [15:03] Flip Idlemind: You're 9, you can't drink! | |||
* [15:03] Flight Bracelet: All Go | |||
* [15:03] Flight Bracelet: All Go | |||
* [15:03] Oskar Linden: anyways here is the agenda: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Server_Beta_User_Group | |||
* [15:03] Ima Mechanique: hope the hookahs weren't to pricey, and you wore protection ;-) | |||
* [15:03] Oskar Linden: nice one Ima | |||
* [15:03] Coyot Linden: hahah | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: since Coyot is here and is a busy man I'll let him go first | |||
* [15:04] Coyot Linden: nah | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: nah? | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: ok | |||
* [15:04] Coyot Linden: we moved our other meeting | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: oh ok | |||
* [15:04] Coyot Linden: so I could be here | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: well to the regularly shceudled agenda | |||
* [15:04] Coyot Linden: that's how important these folks are | |||
* [15:04] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: :D | |||
* [15:04] Oskar Linden: we pushed the code on BlueSteel and LeTigre to main channel this week | |||
* [15:04] Larre Leborski: :-) | |||
* [15:04] MartinRJ Fayray: I said "Happy Birthday" in the group but you weren't there :( | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: those were the fixes here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Server/12#12.02.24.249991 | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: SVC-7631 | |||
* [15:05] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7631] New rate throttle on llGiveInventory https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7631 | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: SVC-7660 | |||
* [15:05] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7660] http_request() fails to trigger on RC Magnum 12.01.27.248571 & Second Life Server 12.02.24.250006 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7660 | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: and a few other misc bugs and crashers | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: it went fine | |||
* [15:05] Coyot Linden: yep | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: we did have to shuffle the RC rolls | |||
* [15:05] Oskar Linden: we did those this morning instead | |||
* [15:06] Oskar Linden: BlueSteel and LeTigre have new code | |||
* [15:06] Oskar Linden: some inventory api changes | |||
* [15:06] Oskar Linden: Improvements were made to the way inventory transactions are handled in order to improve scalability and reliability of inventory transfers. | |||
* [15:06] Oskar Linden: no external jiras fixed | |||
* [15:06] Oskar Linden: some old unused code removed | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: then there was Magnum... | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: poor Magnum | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: the magnum code has been around a while now | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: it's the threaded region crossing prep code | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: it's a complicated set of code | |||
* [15:07] Kallista Destiny: Purning dead code is a mitzvahs (good deed) | |||
* [15:07] Coyot Linden: lots of race conditions | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: and it didn't like the merge with the trunk code | |||
* [15:07] Oskar Linden: regions have been crashing heavily all day | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: and that's real bad | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: so we have to rollback | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: we're doing that in 2 hours | |||
* [15:08] Coyot Linden: tonight | |||
* [15:08] Coyot Linden: yep | |||
* [15:08] Homeless: ouch | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: our apologies for any inconvience | |||
* [15:08] Coyot Linden: magnum -> trunk | |||
* [15:08] Theresa Tennyson: Glad I was away from SL home all day then... | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: inconvenience | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: on a good note though | |||
* [15:08] Oskar Linden: we've been taking this week to do some cleanup | |||
* [15:09] Oskar Linden: Don has been working on a project for a while to make things easier for region crossings | |||
* [15:09] Oskar Linden: Coyot can you tell us about it | |||
* [15:09] Coyot Linden: well, actually, there is a whole team of us | |||
* [15:09] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. me was away from Magnum yesterday as well.. been in LeTigre tho. | |||
* [15:09] Coyot Linden: don, susan, dynamike, steven and myself | |||
* [15:09] Coyot Linden: so, here's the basic idea | |||
* [15:09] Coyot Linden: as you can probably guess, some regions use more memory than others | |||
* [15:10] Coyot Linden: we also have two kinds of machines, some with more memory | |||
* [15:10] Coyot Linden: prior to this week, there was no programmatic | |||
* [15:10] Coyot Linden: assignment of higher mem usage to higher mem machines | |||
* [15:10] Coyot Linden: by Friday, this will be "rebalanced" | |||
* [15:11] Coyot Linden: we are already 95% of the way through the grid | |||
* [15:11] Moundsa Mayo: Sweet! | |||
* [15:11] Larre Leborski: Indeed :-) | |||
* [15:11] Coyot Linden: the benefits, particularly for high mem users on low mem machines has already been pretty dramatic | |||
* [15:11] Coyot Linden: lower overall mem usage | |||
* [15:11] Coyot Linden: faster region crossings | |||
* [15:11] Coyot Linden: lower lag | |||
* [15:12] Coyot Linden: I hope to have numbers by next Beta OH | |||
* [15:12] Coyot Linden: <EOF> | |||
* [15:12] Oskar Linden: it also took into account neighboring regions and placed them closer in the colos right? | |||
* [15:12] Coyot Linden: that's right | |||
* [15:12] Coyot Linden: thank you for reminding me | |||
* [15:12] Moundsa Mayo: Excellent!! | |||
* [15:12] Oskar Linden: all around an awesome setup | |||
* [15:13] Oskar Linden: the whole team has worked hard on this for a while | |||
* [15:13] Coyot Linden: that also greatly improves region crossings | |||
* [15:13] Oskar Linden: this didn't require simulator code changes, just organization of existing resources | |||
* [15:13] Coyot Linden: yeah, we basically threw the grid in the air and made it come down in different places. :P | |||
* [15:13] Coyot Linden: no code chanes | |||
* [15:13] Coyot Linden: changes | |||
* [15:14] Oskar Linden: we rebalanced the empty regions first | |||
* [15:14] Oskar Linden: so no one knew it was going on | |||
* [15:14] Oskar Linden: we tried to be low impact | |||
* [15:14] Coyot Linden: indeed | |||
* [15:14] Coyot Linden: that got us past 80% of the grid | |||
* [15:14] Oskar Linden: hopefully we'll have it finished tomorrow morning | |||
* [15:14] Coyot Linden: by doing parts at different times | |||
* [15:14] Coyot Linden: so that different regions were empty | |||
* [15:15] Theresa Tennyson: So bigger regions are on better machines now, basically? | |||
* [15:15] Coyot Linden: basically, yes | |||
* [15:15] Homeless: Empty as in no av's? | |||
* [15:15] Oskar Linden: if by bigger you mean more intensive | |||
* [15:15] Oskar Linden: yes | |||
* [15:15] Theresa Tennyson: Yep. | |||
* [15:15] Coyot Linden: as in "no agents" | |||
* [15:15] Draconis Neurocam: were the regions restarted to do this? | |||
* [15:15] Oskar Linden: no agent presents ;-) | |||
* [15:15] Coyot Linden: draconis: yes | |||
* [15:15] Oskar Linden: there was a lot of shuffling | |||
* [15:15] Coyot Linden: you can't move a region between machines without restarting it | |||
* [15:16] Moundsa Mayo: I noticed a few weeks ago we suddenly had significntly more Spare Time in Huckleberry. Would this have been an indicator? | |||
* [15:16] Ima Mechanique: yeah, moving regions live would be like moving live sharks byhand | |||
* [15:16] Coyot Linden: no, we weren't doing this that long ago, Moundsa | |||
* [15:16] Oskar Linden: no moundsa | |||
* [15:16] Coyot Linden: Ima: heh | |||
* [15:16] Coyot Linden: more like eels | |||
* [15:16] MartinRJ Fayray: 80% of the grid are empty regions? | |||
* [15:16] Oskar Linden: thankfully we hav escripts to do it Ima | |||
* [15:16] Moundsa Mayo: And i didn't get rid of any of my script glut. Hmmm. | |||
* [15:17] Oskar Linden: not empty | |||
* [15:17] Oskar Linden: but no agents at that time | |||
* [15:17] Theresa Tennyson: Did you take into account average traffic as well as stuff on the ground? | |||
* [15:17] Coyot Linden: right, Oskar | |||
* [15:17] MartinRJ Fayray: ah | |||
* [15:17] Oskar Linden: Theresa we took into account an overall gestalt of machine usage | |||
* [15:17] Oskar Linden: over multiple weeks | |||
* [15:17] Theresa Tennyson: Yay! | |||
* [15:17] Oskar Linden: to determine which regions were more memory intensive | |||
* [15:17] Coyot Linden: we used as our primary metric, the amount of memory used by the region over the last month | |||
* [15:17] Coyot Linden: (as an average) | |||
* [15:18] arton Rotaru: will this permanently rebalanced when things change on regions? | |||
* [15:18] Oskar Linden: hopefully we will see some awesome results over the weekend | |||
* [15:18] Coyot Linden: well, there will always be drift | |||
* [15:18] Coyot Linden: let's say someone asks to have their region put on an RC | |||
* [15:18] Oskar Linden: I believe we will monitor it and rebalance as needed arton | |||
* [15:19] Coyot Linden: that might move things a bit | |||
* [15:19] Coyot Linden: and over time... | |||
* [15:19] arton Rotaru: okies | |||
* [15:19] Coyot Linden: but yes, we are monitoring drift over this week and next | |||
* [15:20] Oskar Linden: this is the type of project that makes me excited | |||
* [15:20] Draconis Neurocam: are you monitering these by hand or is the system automated? | |||
* [15:20] Oskar Linden: hoping to offer performance increases without code changes | |||
* [15:20] Coyot Linden: it'sa script | |||
* [15:20] Oskar Linden: automagically | |||
* [15:21] Coyot Linden: I'm particularly proud of the ASM sections of the code. | |||
* [15:21] Coyot Linden: :P | |||
* [15:21] Draconis Neurocam: hahah | |||
* [15:21] Oskar Linden: ASM? | |||
* [15:21] Draconis Neurocam: assembly | |||
* [15:21] Coyot Linden: right | |||
* [15:21] Oskar Linden: Age, Sex, Mustard? | |||
* [15:21] Coyot Linden: HAHA | |||
* [15:22] Oskar Linden: Asynchronous Squirrel Monitoring | |||
* [15:22] Draconis Neurocam: x86 or x86-64? | |||
* [15:22] Oskar Linden: anyway. any questions? | |||
* [15:22] Ima Mechanique: Aged Sado-Masochism | |||
* [15:22] Coyot Linden: You see ASM hooks in OS code when it reaches out to the devices | |||
* [15:22] Coyot Linden: SPARC!!! | |||
* [15:22] Draconis Neurocam: pffff | |||
* [15:22] Oskar Linden: hah | |||
* [15:22] Theresa Tennyson: Ooo, ASM hooks. Ima was right... | |||
* [15:22] Coyot Linden: RISC for evah! | |||
* [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: totally | |||
* [15:23] Coyot LindenCoyot Linden used to work for Sun... | |||
* [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: hey arm is getting big | |||
* [15:23] Oskar Linden: hiring Coyot was a RISC | |||
* [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: cisc will fall eventually | |||
* [15:23] Ima Mechanique: I gotta couple Sparcs lying around here ;-) | |||
* [15:23] Coyot Linden: haha | |||
* [15:24] Oskar Linden: those poor things | |||
* [15:24] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. I have a question about this.. is this all new hardware that is hosting SL now? | |||
* [15:24] Oskar Linden: no | |||
* [15:24] Oskar Linden: same hardware | |||
* [15:24] Coyot Linden: yep | |||
* [15:24] Kallista Destiny: BAL Port it to the I370 mailframe | |||
* [15:24] Oskar Linden: but better region balancing on the hardware | |||
* [15:24] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. ok. | |||
* [15:24] Oskar Linden: all of our machines are not identical | |||
* [15:25] Larre Leborski: :-) | |||
* [15:25] Coyot Linden: but there are only two kinds, really, and the ONLY real difference is the memory | |||
* [15:25] Homeless: hmmm if anyone is using viewer 3, check your CPU usage, is it way up? | |||
* [15:25] Kallista Destiny: all of you base belong us | |||
* [15:26] Kallista Destiny: Firestone 4.0.1 Pre-Beta cpu normal | |||
* [15:26] Draconis Neurocam: cpu usage is normal here on v3 | |||
* [15:26] arton Rotaru: 25% CPU on Second Life 3.3.1 (250315) | |||
* [15:26] Coyot Linden: my cpu is normal | |||
* [15:26] Theresa Tennyson: Beta 3.3 is just loafing along | |||
* [15:26] Coyot Linden: on SL 3.2.8 | |||
* [15:27] Draconis Neurocam: 3.3.1 (250772) here | |||
* [15:27] Homeless: hmmm I log in and mine is just fine for about 15 minutes... then it shoots up 50%... even when minimized my v3 uses 66% | |||
* [15:27] Oskar Linden: hmm | |||
* [15:27] Theresa Tennyson: There's a JIRA on that. | |||
* [15:27] Oskar Linden: I'm not surprised | |||
* [15:27] Moundsa Mayo: V3.2.8 here, scooting right along, Homeless | |||
* [15:27] Homeless: I commented on that jira | |||
* [15:27] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, disable 'threaded optimisation' in the NVIDIA control panel. | |||
* [15:28] Homeless: will have to try that | |||
* [15:28] Oskar Linden: thanks for the update coyot | |||
* [15:28] Coyot Linden: yw | |||
* [15:28] Coyot Linden: hope to have more good news | |||
* [15:28] Coyot Linden: next week | |||
* [15:28] Oskar Linden: yeah I'll be excited to see some graphs | |||
* [15:29] Oskar Linden: in other news SImon says he fixed SVC-7629 | |||
* [15:29] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7629] Map tile generator not working https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7629 | |||
* [15:29] Coyot Linden: oskar: http://graphjam.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/funny-graphs-apathy-charted1.jpg | |||
* [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: huzzah for that | |||
* [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: seriously | |||
* [15:29] Oskar Linden: so open your map windown and scroll out | |||
* [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: it works | |||
* [15:30] Draconis Neurocam: i hope to not get packet loss from the map anymore because of it, i wish i knew how it was broke though | |||
* [15:30] Oskar Linden: not sure about the release path to AGNI yet | |||
* [15:30] Oskar Linden: but it is fixed here | |||
* [15:30] Coyot Linden: That way it won't have little JIRAs | |||
* [15:31] Oskar Linden: as it looks today the code on BlueSteel/LeTigre will get promoted next week | |||
* [15:31] MartinRJ Fayray: my map window is broken, it says the sim next to this one is Lusk =) | |||
* [15:31] MartinRJ Fayray: j/k | |||
* [15:31] Oskar Linden: barring any unforseen issues | |||
* [15:31] Oskar Linden: so if you are on Bs or Lt this weekend and notice massive inventory related oddities be sur eto file a jira and let me know | |||
* [15:32] Theresa Tennyson: Is Magnum going to last week's Magnum or the main server release after the rollback. | |||
* [15:32] Coyot Linden: main server | |||
* [15:32] Oskar Linden: trunk | |||
* [15:32] Oskar Linden: so the same as main server channel | |||
* [15:32] Theresa TennysonTheresa Tennyson isn't special anymore, for a week at least. | |||
* [15:33] Oskar Linden: you're still special! | |||
* [15:33] Theresa Tennyson: Thank you! | |||
* [15:33] Oskar Linden: but if you go onto the forums and talk about how many bugs Magnum has I will laugh at you | |||
* [15:33] arton Rotaru: :p | |||
* [15:34] Larre Leborski: :-) | |||
* [15:34] Homeless: "more bugs than a roach motel"? | |||
* [15:34] Oskar Linden: that is the funniest situation that I ever get a chance to witness. 2 codebases named differently and people arguing that one is dramatically worse than the other | |||
* [15:34] Theresa Tennyson: SOME of us try to know SOMETHING about what we're talking about. That's why I'm here. | |||
* [15:35] arton Rotaru: well, there was a bug with childprim positions, which was region depending, on the same code^^ | |||
* [15:35] arton Rotaru: when mesh code was released, it hit the main grid | |||
* [15:36] arton Rotaru: I told Dan Linden about it, and he said impossible^^ | |||
* [15:36] arton Rotaru: but it reproduced all the time | |||
* [15:37] Oskar Linden: it is just the idea that two identical codebases that only differe by name would give wildly different impressions based on personal experience | |||
* [15:37] Oskar Linden: it's a placebo thing | |||
* [15:37] Coyot Linden: hence the placebo effect | |||
* [15:37] Coyot Linden: heh | |||
* [15:37] Coyot Linden: jinx | |||
* [15:37] Kallista Destiny: But there are also other things thay afect stuff... | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: I read a fascinating article about the placebo effect where even when people were told "this is a placebo. it is just sugar pills. it will heal you" they still got better | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: hah | |||
* [15:38] Homeless: I suppose the (stable) in one name and the (unstable) in the second name could have something to do with it. | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: that's true Kallista | |||
* [15:38] Kallista Destiny: viewers, network traffice etc | |||
* [15:38] Kallista Destiny: How you hold your mouth | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: agape | |||
* [15:38] Kallista Destiny: Remember it' alll magic at some level | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: that it is | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: just electricity | |||
* [15:38] Oskar Linden: zipping around | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: in very precise patterns | |||
* [15:39] Draconis Neurocam: is there a ParcelMediaURLFilterList server cap out of curiousity? | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: no idea | |||
* [15:39] Kallista Destiny: But electricity is magic | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: it is | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: like magnets | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: how the F do they work? | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: :-p | |||
* [15:39] Oskar Linden: anyway | |||
* [15:39] Draconis Neurocam: miracles up in this | |||
* [15:40] Oskar Linden: lol | |||
* [15:40] Ima Mechanique: magnets have invisible arms that want to hug other magnets of opposite gender | |||
* [15:40] Oskar Linden: aww | |||
* [15:40] Ima Mechanique: basically they're horny little b'stards | |||
* [15:40] Oskar Linden: I don't have anything else in the agenda to talk about | |||
* [15:40] Oskar Linden: so we could either adjourn or chat about whatever | |||
* [15:40] Ima Mechanique: why is scr-6 on "any other stuff"? | |||
* [15:40] Flame of Jira: [#SCR-6] llGetSubString can produce results that crash Mono scripts https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-6 | |||
* [15:41] Oskar Linden: ? | |||
* [15:41] TankMaster FinesmithTankMaster Finesmith hates good weather... means there is no excuse not to do yard work | |||
* [15:41] Oskar Linden: go outside tank | |||
* [15:41] Coyot Linden: I think I will take this opportunity to take my leave, good folks. | |||
* [15:41] TankMaster Finesmith: i was outside | |||
* [15:41] Coyot Linden: have a great weekened | |||
* [15:41] Oskar Linden: cya coyot! | |||
* [15:41] Coyot Linden: cya | |||
* [15:41] TankMaster Finesmith: tc cypte | |||
* [15:41] Ima Mechanique: bye Coyot | |||
* [15:41] Draconis Neurocam: take care coyot | |||
* [15:41] Moundsa Mayo: Coyot, thank you for your time! | |||
* [15:41] Coyot Linden: yw, you too! | |||
* [15:42] Ima Mechanique: and if your ears start burning when you're gone, it's just yopur butt has finished burning | |||
* [15:42] Theresa Tennyson: I DON'T want to start the whole debate here but I'm curious - how are the old "last names" encoded? Is "T-E-N-N-Y-S-O-N" anywhere in my "identity" or is it a number that gets looked up? | |||
* [15:42] Oskar Linden: it's a number | |||
* [15:42] Oskar Linden: a row in a database | |||
* [15:42] Theresa TennysonTheresa Tennyson licks a finger and writes a "1" in the air. | |||
* [15:43] Moundsa Mayo: "You are not a name, you are a NUMBER!!" | |||
* [15:43] Oskar Linden: more likely 8565 | |||
* [15:43] Theresa Tennyson: Do you know off the top of your head how many last names are possible with that system? | |||
* [15:43] Oskar Linden: as many as we want | |||
* [15:43] Kallista Destiny: Who is number 1? | |||
* [15:43] Draconis Neurocam: probably locked to some data value maximum | |||
* [15:43] Ima Mechanique: lots, I have several thousand in my db and it is a fraction of what's in use | |||
* [15:44] Kallista Destiny: 64K if is'ts a Ushort | |||
* [15:44] Theresa Tennyson: But we can't come up with our own, I take it... | |||
* [15:44] Kallista Destiny: 4Guf if it's an Ulong | |||
* [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: im going to just throw it out there that Linden is number 1 | |||
* [15:44] Oskar Linden: 1 is Linden :-) | |||
* [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: yeah | |||

* [15:44] Oskar Linden: actually I think Linden is like 4 | |||
* [15:44] Ima Mechanique: and Tester? | |||
* [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: really | |||
* [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: cause doug is the oldest avatar i could find | |||
* [15:44] Oskar Linden: it's been a while since I poked the db | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: there is an older one | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: what is her name | |||
* [15:45] TankMaster Finesmith: ruth | |||
* [15:45] TankMaster Finesmith: :D | |||
* [15:45] Ima Mechanique: poking Db's is a dangerous art, sometimes they poke back | |||
* [15:45] arton Rotaru: lol | |||
* [15:45] Theresa Tennyson: Wasn't "Steller Sunshine" the first official resident? | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: lemme find it | |||
* [15:45] Kallista Destiny: Yeah | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: yes | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: there | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: Steller | |||
* [15:45] Oskar Linden: on my friends list I'll have you know | |||

* [15:47] Draconis Neurocam: what is 2? | |||
* [15:48] Oskar Linden: Resident is 10327 | |||
* [15:48] Moundsa Mayo: If you keep poking that DB we may all end up nameless! | |||
* [15:48] Oskar Linden: 2 is a secret ;-) | |||
* [15:48] TankMaster Finesmith: lol | |||
* [15:48] Homeless: Must be oskar! | |||

* [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: techmann, anf finesmith? | |||
* [15:49] Moundsa Mayo: No, 2 is Secret | |||
* [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: and* | |||
* [15:49] Draconis Neurocam: really im under 1000, awesome | |||
* [15:49] Oskar Linden: err db offline | |||
* [15:49] Oskar Linden: no more queries | |||
* [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: LOL | |||
* [15:49] Oskar Linden: that felt like a gameshow | |||
* [15:49] Larre LeborskiLarre Leborski wonders what his number is.... | |||
* [15:49] Homeless: crashed | |||
* [15:49] Oskar Linden: tester was 117 | |||
* [15:50] Theresa Tennyson: Uh oh, we broke it... | |||
* [15:50] Oskar Linden: anyway | |||
* [15:50] Ima Mechanique: this weeks meeting was brought to you by the bugs SVC and numbers 1,2,42... | |||
* [15:51] Draconis Neurocam: thanks oskar | |||
* [15:51] TankMaster FinesmithTankMaster Finesmith wonders what # is emerald | |||
* [15:51] TankMaster Finesmith: ph well :P | |||
* [15:51] Ima Mechanique: on the agenda SCR-6 is mentioned under "Any Other Stuff". is that just decoration? | |||
* [15:51] Oskar Linden: that might be old | |||
* [15:51] Oskar Linden: and I forgot to remove it | |||
* [15:51] Oskar Linden: I think we talked about it last week | |||
* [15:51] Ima Mechanique: ahh, wasn't here last week | |||
* [15:52] Larre Leborski: hmmm... | |||
* [15:52] Oskar Linden: I don't remember | |||
* [15:52] Oskar Linden: ok. 8 minutes left | |||
* [15:53] Theresa Tennyson: Another random thought I had - I know you can keep text chat, sounds, etc. from going OUT of a parcel. Is it theoretically possible to keep them from coming INTO a parcel? | |||
* [15:53] Oskar Linden: I might shut the meeting down a tad early | |||
* [15:53] TankMaster Finesmith: no | |||
* [15:53] Oskar Linden: hmm | |||
* [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: enjoy the nice weather | |||
* [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: np* | |||
* [15:54] Oskar Linden: isn't there that one parcel setting that lets you do that now? | |||
* [15:54] Larre Leborski: :-) | |||
* [15:54] Oskar Linden: or is that only one way | |||
* [15:54] Theresa Tennyson: That keeps it from going OUT. If you could keep stuff from coming IN that would really frustrate griefers. | |||
* [15:54] Oskar Linden: gestures and objects sounds are stuck inside the parcel | |||
* [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: if you enable privacy on the parcle, it blocks both ways | |||
* [15:55] Oskar Linden: like a total wall | |||
* [15:55] Theresa Tennyson: Kewl... | |||
* [15:55] Oskar Linden: hmm | |||
* [15:55] Oskar Linden: not sure that will happen anytime soon | |||
* [15:55] Theresa Tennyson: Just a thought. | |||
* [15:55] Oskar Linden: yeah | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: alright guys. I'll give you 5 minutes back in your day! | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: 4 minutes now | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: :-p | |||
* [15:56] arton Rotaru: thx ^^ | |||
* [15:56] TankMaster Finesmith: woot woot | |||
* [15:56] Lares Carter: thanks for the meeting, Oskar | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: thanks for coming out | |||
* [15:56] Moundsa Mayo: Oskar, thanks for your time! | |||
* [15:56] Ima Mechanique: ooooh, extra sleeping time | |||
* [15:56] Theresa Tennyson: Thank you! | |||
* [15:56] Flip Idlemind: Oh, something I wanna bring up here at the last minute. There's a feature called "Avatar Sounds", which restricts who can play sounds on a parcel. Would it be possible to do the same thing but with Voice? | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: let me know of bluesteel or letigre have inv issues over the weekend k? | |||
* [15:56] Oskar Linden: possibly | |||
* [15:57] Oskar Linden: I don't think anyone is working on that Flip | |||
* [15:57] TankMaster Finesmith: its SL, it alwyas has inventory problems :P | |||
* [15:57] Flip Idlemind: I'm not even sure if it's possible to restrict voice usage in that way, making it so people can hear but nto speak | |||
* [15:57] Ima Mechanique: will do, I'm on LT | |||
* [15:57] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. I am on a LeTogre sim lots, so will do :-) | |||
* [15:57] Larre Leborski: *LeTigre | |||
* [15:57] Moundsa Mayo: I'm a BSer B^D | |||
* [15:57] Ima MechaniqueIma Mechanique bites tounge ;-) | |||
* [15:58] Moundsa Mayo: B^P | |||
* [15:58] Larre Leborski: Indeed :-) | |||
* [15:58] arton Rotaru: I'm out. bye all | |||

- [15:02] Larre LeborskiLarre Leborski knows he missed Oskar..
- [15:02] Oskar Linden: drinking til midnight
- [15:02] Flip Idlemind: Figured you'd party hard, since you only get 1 birthday every 4 years*
- [15:02] Oskar Linden: then chilling out in a hokah bar
- [15:03] Oskar Linden: hookah
- [15:03] Flip Idlemind: You're 9, you can't drink!
- [15:03] Flight Bracelet: All Go
- [15:03] Flight Bracelet: All Go
- [15:03] Oskar Linden: anyways here is the agenda: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Server_Beta_User_Group
- [15:03] Ima Mechanique: hope the hookahs weren't to pricey, and you wore protection ;-)
- [15:03] Oskar Linden: nice one Ima
- [15:03] Coyot Linden: hahah
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: since Coyot is here and is a busy man I'll let him go first
- [15:04] Coyot Linden: nah
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: nah?
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: ok
- [15:04] Coyot Linden: we moved our other meeting
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: oh ok
- [15:04] Coyot Linden: so I could be here
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: well to the regularly shceudled agenda
- [15:04] Coyot Linden: that's how important these folks are
- [15:04] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: :D
- [15:04] Oskar Linden: we pushed the code on BlueSteel and LeTigre to main channel this week
- [15:04] Larre Leborski: :-)
- [15:04] MartinRJ Fayray: I said "Happy Birthday" in the group but you weren't there :(
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: those were the fixes here: https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Release_Notes/Second_Life_Server/12#12.02.24.249991
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: SVC-7631
- [15:05] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7631] New rate throttle on llGiveInventory https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7631
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: SVC-7660
- [15:05] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7660] http_request() fails to trigger on RC Magnum 12.01.27.248571 & Second Life Server 12.02.24.250006 https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7660
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: and a few other misc bugs and crashers
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: it went fine
- [15:05] Coyot Linden: yep
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: we did have to shuffle the RC rolls
- [15:05] Oskar Linden: we did those this morning instead
- [15:06] Oskar Linden: BlueSteel and LeTigre have new code
- [15:06] Oskar Linden: some inventory api changes
- [15:06] Oskar Linden: Improvements were made to the way inventory transactions are handled in order to improve scalability and reliability of inventory transfers.
- [15:06] Oskar Linden: no external jiras fixed
- [15:06] Oskar Linden: some old unused code removed
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: then there was Magnum...
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: poor Magnum
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: the magnum code has been around a while now
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: it's the threaded region crossing prep code
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: it's a complicated set of code
- [15:07] Kallista Destiny: Purning dead code is a mitzvahs (good deed)
- [15:07] Coyot Linden: lots of race conditions
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: and it didn't like the merge with the trunk code
- [15:07] Oskar Linden: regions have been crashing heavily all day
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: and that's real bad
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: so we have to rollback
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: we're doing that in 2 hours
- [15:08] Coyot Linden: tonight
- [15:08] Coyot Linden: yep
- [15:08] Homeless: ouch
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: our apologies for any inconvience
- [15:08] Coyot Linden: magnum -> trunk
- [15:08] Theresa Tennyson: Glad I was away from SL home all day then...
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: inconvenience
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: on a good note though
- [15:08] Oskar Linden: we've been taking this week to do some cleanup
- [15:09] Oskar Linden: Don has been working on a project for a while to make things easier for region crossings
- [15:09] Oskar Linden: Coyot can you tell us about it
- [15:09] Coyot Linden: well, actually, there is a whole team of us
- [15:09] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. me was away from Magnum yesterday as well.. been in LeTigre tho.
- [15:09] Coyot Linden: don, susan, dynamike, steven and myself
- [15:09] Coyot Linden: so, here's the basic idea
- [15:09] Coyot Linden: as you can probably guess, some regions use more memory than others
- [15:10] Coyot Linden: we also have two kinds of machines, some with more memory
- [15:10] Coyot Linden: prior to this week, there was no programmatic
- [15:10] Coyot Linden: assignment of higher mem usage to higher mem machines
- [15:10] Coyot Linden: by Friday, this will be "rebalanced"
- [15:11] Coyot Linden: we are already 95% of the way through the grid
- [15:11] Moundsa Mayo: Sweet!
- [15:11] Larre Leborski: Indeed :-)
- [15:11] Coyot Linden: the benefits, particularly for high mem users on low mem machines has already been pretty dramatic
- [15:11] Coyot Linden: lower overall mem usage
- [15:11] Coyot Linden: faster region crossings
- [15:11] Coyot Linden: lower lag
- [15:12] Coyot Linden: I hope to have numbers by next Beta OH
- [15:12] Coyot Linden: <EOF>
- [15:12] Oskar Linden: it also took into account neighboring regions and placed them closer in the colos right?
- [15:12] Coyot Linden: that's right
- [15:12] Coyot Linden: thank you for reminding me
- [15:12] Moundsa Mayo: Excellent!!
- [15:12] Oskar Linden: all around an awesome setup
- [15:13] Oskar Linden: the whole team has worked hard on this for a while
- [15:13] Coyot Linden: that also greatly improves region crossings
- [15:13] Oskar Linden: this didn't require simulator code changes, just organization of existing resources
- [15:13] Coyot Linden: yeah, we basically threw the grid in the air and made it come down in different places. :P
- [15:13] Coyot Linden: no code chanes
- [15:13] Coyot Linden: changes
- [15:14] Oskar Linden: we rebalanced the empty regions first
- [15:14] Oskar Linden: so no one knew it was going on
- [15:14] Oskar Linden: we tried to be low impact
- [15:14] Coyot Linden: indeed
- [15:14] Coyot Linden: that got us past 80% of the grid
- [15:14] Oskar Linden: hopefully we'll have it finished tomorrow morning
- [15:14] Coyot Linden: by doing parts at different times
- [15:14] Coyot Linden: so that different regions were empty
- [15:15] Theresa Tennyson: So bigger regions are on better machines now, basically?
- [15:15] Coyot Linden: basically, yes
- [15:15] Homeless: Empty as in no av's?
- [15:15] Oskar Linden: if by bigger you mean more intensive
- [15:15] Oskar Linden: yes
- [15:15] Theresa Tennyson: Yep.
- [15:15] Coyot Linden: as in "no agents"
- [15:15] Draconis Neurocam: were the regions restarted to do this?
- [15:15] Oskar Linden: no agent presents ;-)
- [15:15] Coyot Linden: draconis: yes
- [15:15] Oskar Linden: there was a lot of shuffling
- [15:15] Coyot Linden: you can't move a region between machines without restarting it
- [15:16] Moundsa Mayo: I noticed a few weeks ago we suddenly had significntly more Spare Time in Huckleberry. Would this have been an indicator?
- [15:16] Ima Mechanique: yeah, moving regions live would be like moving live sharks byhand
- [15:16] Coyot Linden: no, we weren't doing this that long ago, Moundsa
- [15:16] Oskar Linden: no moundsa
- [15:16] Coyot Linden: Ima: heh
- [15:16] Coyot Linden: more like eels
- [15:16] MartinRJ Fayray: 80% of the grid are empty regions?
- [15:16] Oskar Linden: thankfully we hav escripts to do it Ima
- [15:16] Moundsa Mayo: And i didn't get rid of any of my script glut. Hmmm.
- [15:17] Oskar Linden: not empty
- [15:17] Oskar Linden: but no agents at that time
- [15:17] Theresa Tennyson: Did you take into account average traffic as well as stuff on the ground?
- [15:17] Coyot Linden: right, Oskar
- [15:17] MartinRJ Fayray: ah
- [15:17] Oskar Linden: Theresa we took into account an overall gestalt of machine usage
- [15:17] Oskar Linden: over multiple weeks
- [15:17] Theresa Tennyson: Yay!
- [15:17] Oskar Linden: to determine which regions were more memory intensive
- [15:17] Coyot Linden: we used as our primary metric, the amount of memory used by the region over the last month
- [15:17] Coyot Linden: (as an average)
- [15:18] arton Rotaru: will this permanently rebalanced when things change on regions?
- [15:18] Oskar Linden: hopefully we will see some awesome results over the weekend
- [15:18] Coyot Linden: well, there will always be drift
- [15:18] Coyot Linden: let's say someone asks to have their region put on an RC
- [15:18] Oskar Linden: I believe we will monitor it and rebalance as needed arton
- [15:19] Coyot Linden: that might move things a bit
- [15:19] Coyot Linden: and over time...
- [15:19] arton Rotaru: okies
- [15:19] Coyot Linden: but yes, we are monitoring drift over this week and next
- [15:20] Oskar Linden: this is the type of project that makes me excited
- [15:20] Draconis Neurocam: are you monitering these by hand or is the system automated?
- [15:20] Oskar Linden: hoping to offer performance increases without code changes
- [15:20] Coyot Linden: it'sa script
- [15:20] Oskar Linden: automagically
- [15:21] Coyot Linden: I'm particularly proud of the ASM sections of the code.
- [15:21] Coyot Linden: :P
- [15:21] Draconis Neurocam: hahah
- [15:21] Oskar Linden: ASM?
- [15:21] Draconis Neurocam: assembly
- [15:21] Coyot Linden: right
- [15:21] Oskar Linden: Age, Sex, Mustard?
- [15:21] Coyot Linden: HAHA
- [15:22] Oskar Linden: Asynchronous Squirrel Monitoring
- [15:22] Draconis Neurocam: x86 or x86-64?
- [15:22] Oskar Linden: anyway. any questions?
- [15:22] Ima Mechanique: Aged Sado-Masochism
- [15:22] Coyot Linden: You see ASM hooks in OS code when it reaches out to the devices
- [15:22] Coyot Linden: SPARC!!!
- [15:22] Draconis Neurocam: pffff
- [15:22] Oskar Linden: hah
- [15:22] Theresa Tennyson: Ooo, ASM hooks. Ima was right...
- [15:22] Coyot Linden: RISC for evah!
- [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: totally
- [15:23] Coyot LindenCoyot Linden used to work for Sun...
- [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: hey arm is getting big
- [15:23] Oskar Linden: hiring Coyot was a RISC
- [15:23] Draconis Neurocam: cisc will fall eventually
- [15:23] Ima Mechanique: I gotta couple Sparcs lying around here ;-)
- [15:23] Coyot Linden: haha
- [15:24] Oskar Linden: those poor things
- [15:24] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. I have a question about this.. is this all new hardware that is hosting SL now?
- [15:24] Oskar Linden: no
- [15:24] Oskar Linden: same hardware
- [15:24] Coyot Linden: yep
- [15:24] Kallista Destiny: BAL Port it to the I370 mailframe
- [15:24] Oskar Linden: but better region balancing on the hardware
- [15:24] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. ok.
- [15:24] Oskar Linden: all of our machines are not identical
- [15:25] Larre Leborski: :-)
- [15:25] Coyot Linden: but there are only two kinds, really, and the ONLY real difference is the memory
- [15:25] Homeless: hmmm if anyone is using viewer 3, check your CPU usage, is it way up?
- [15:25] Kallista Destiny: all of you base belong us
- [15:26] Kallista Destiny: Firestone 4.0.1 Pre-Beta cpu normal
- [15:26] Draconis Neurocam: cpu usage is normal here on v3
- [15:26] arton Rotaru: 25% CPU on Second Life 3.3.1 (250315)
- [15:26] Coyot Linden: my cpu is normal
- [15:26] Theresa Tennyson: Beta 3.3 is just loafing along
- [15:26] Coyot Linden: on SL 3.2.8
- [15:27] Draconis Neurocam: 3.3.1 (250772) here
- [15:27] Homeless: hmmm I log in and mine is just fine for about 15 minutes... then it shoots up 50%... even when minimized my v3 uses 66%
- [15:27] Oskar Linden: hmm
- [15:27] Theresa Tennyson: There's a JIRA on that.
- [15:27] Oskar Linden: I'm not surprised
- [15:27] Moundsa Mayo: V3.2.8 here, scooting right along, Homeless
- [15:27] Homeless: I commented on that jira
- [15:27] Sahkolihaa Contepomi: If you have an NVIDIA graphics card, disable 'threaded optimisation' in the NVIDIA control panel.
- [15:28] Homeless: will have to try that
- [15:28] Oskar Linden: thanks for the update coyot
- [15:28] Coyot Linden: yw
- [15:28] Coyot Linden: hope to have more good news
- [15:28] Coyot Linden: next week
- [15:28] Oskar Linden: yeah I'll be excited to see some graphs
- [15:29] Oskar Linden: in other news SImon says he fixed SVC-7629
- [15:29] Flame of Jira: [#SVC-7629] Map tile generator not working https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SVC-7629
- [15:29] Coyot Linden: oskar: http://graphjam.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/funny-graphs-apathy-charted1.jpg
- [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: huzzah for that
- [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: seriously
- [15:29] Oskar Linden: so open your map windown and scroll out
- [15:29] Draconis Neurocam: it works
- [15:30] Draconis Neurocam: i hope to not get packet loss from the map anymore because of it, i wish i knew how it was broke though
- [15:30] Oskar Linden: not sure about the release path to AGNI yet
- [15:30] Oskar Linden: but it is fixed here
- [15:30] Coyot Linden: That way it won't have little JIRAs
- [15:31] Oskar Linden: as it looks today the code on BlueSteel/LeTigre will get promoted next week
- [15:31] MartinRJ Fayray: my map window is broken, it says the sim next to this one is Lusk =)
- [15:31] MartinRJ Fayray: j/k
- [15:31] Oskar Linden: barring any unforseen issues
- [15:31] Oskar Linden: so if you are on Bs or Lt this weekend and notice massive inventory related oddities be sur eto file a jira and let me know
- [15:32] Theresa Tennyson: Is Magnum going to last week's Magnum or the main server release after the rollback.
- [15:32] Coyot Linden: main server
- [15:32] Oskar Linden: trunk
- [15:32] Oskar Linden: so the same as main server channel
- [15:32] Theresa TennysonTheresa Tennyson isn't special anymore, for a week at least.
- [15:33] Oskar Linden: you're still special!
- [15:33] Theresa Tennyson: Thank you!
- [15:33] Oskar Linden: but if you go onto the forums and talk about how many bugs Magnum has I will laugh at you
- [15:33] arton Rotaru: :p
- [15:34] Larre Leborski: :-)
- [15:34] Homeless: "more bugs than a roach motel"?
- [15:34] Oskar Linden: that is the funniest situation that I ever get a chance to witness. 2 codebases named differently and people arguing that one is dramatically worse than the other
- [15:34] Theresa Tennyson: SOME of us try to know SOMETHING about what we're talking about. That's why I'm here.
- [15:35] arton Rotaru: well, there was a bug with childprim positions, which was region depending, on the same code^^
- [15:35] arton Rotaru: when mesh code was released, it hit the main grid
- [15:36] arton Rotaru: I told Dan Linden about it, and he said impossible^^
- [15:36] arton Rotaru: but it reproduced all the time
- [15:37] Oskar Linden: it is just the idea that two identical codebases that only differe by name would give wildly different impressions based on personal experience
- [15:37] Oskar Linden: it's a placebo thing
- [15:37] Coyot Linden: hence the placebo effect
- [15:37] Coyot Linden: heh
- [15:37] Coyot Linden: jinx
- [15:37] Kallista Destiny: But there are also other things thay afect stuff...
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: I read a fascinating article about the placebo effect where even when people were told "this is a placebo. it is just sugar pills. it will heal you" they still got better
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: hah
- [15:38] Homeless: I suppose the (stable) in one name and the (unstable) in the second name could have something to do with it.
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: that's true Kallista
- [15:38] Kallista Destiny: viewers, network traffice etc
- [15:38] Kallista Destiny: How you hold your mouth
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: agape
- [15:38] Kallista Destiny: Remember it' alll magic at some level
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: that it is
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: just electricity
- [15:38] Oskar Linden: zipping around
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: in very precise patterns
- [15:39] Draconis Neurocam: is there a ParcelMediaURLFilterList server cap out of curiousity?
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: no idea
- [15:39] Kallista Destiny: But electricity is magic
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: it is
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: like magnets
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: how the F do they work?
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: :-p
- [15:39] Oskar Linden: anyway
- [15:39] Draconis Neurocam: miracles up in this
- [15:40] Oskar Linden: lol
- [15:40] Ima Mechanique: magnets have invisible arms that want to hug other magnets of opposite gender
- [15:40] Oskar Linden: aww
- [15:40] Ima Mechanique: basically they're horny little b'stards
- [15:40] Oskar Linden: I don't have anything else in the agenda to talk about
- [15:40] Oskar Linden: so we could either adjourn or chat about whatever
- [15:40] Ima Mechanique: why is scr-6 on "any other stuff"?
- [15:40] Flame of Jira: [#SCR-6] llGetSubString can produce results that crash Mono scripts https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SCR-6
- [15:41] Oskar Linden: ?
- [15:41] TankMaster FinesmithTankMaster Finesmith hates good weather... means there is no excuse not to do yard work
- [15:41] Oskar Linden: go outside tank
- [15:41] Coyot Linden: I think I will take this opportunity to take my leave, good folks.
- [15:41] TankMaster Finesmith: i was outside
- [15:41] Coyot Linden: have a great weekened
- [15:41] Oskar Linden: cya coyot!
- [15:41] Coyot Linden: cya
- [15:41] TankMaster Finesmith: tc cypte
- [15:41] Ima Mechanique: bye Coyot
- [15:41] Draconis Neurocam: take care coyot
- [15:41] Moundsa Mayo: Coyot, thank you for your time!
- [15:41] Coyot Linden: yw, you too!
- [15:42] Ima Mechanique: and if your ears start burning when you're gone, it's just yopur butt has finished burning
- [15:42] Theresa Tennyson: I DON'T want to start the whole debate here but I'm curious - how are the old "last names" encoded? Is "T-E-N-N-Y-S-O-N" anywhere in my "identity" or is it a number that gets looked up?
- [15:42] Oskar Linden: it's a number
- [15:42] Oskar Linden: a row in a database
- [15:42] Theresa TennysonTheresa Tennyson licks a finger and writes a "1" in the air.
- [15:43] Moundsa Mayo: "You are not a name, you are a NUMBER!!"
- [15:43] Oskar Linden: more likely 8565
- [15:43] Theresa Tennyson: Do you know off the top of your head how many last names are possible with that system?
- [15:43] Oskar Linden: as many as we want
- [15:43] Kallista Destiny: Who is number 1?
- [15:43] Draconis Neurocam: probably locked to some data value maximum
- [15:43] Ima Mechanique: lots, I have several thousand in my db and it is a fraction of what's in use
- [15:44] Kallista Destiny: 64K if is'ts a Ushort
- [15:44] Theresa Tennyson: But we can't come up with our own, I take it...
- [15:44] Kallista Destiny: 4Guf if it's an Ulong
- [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: im going to just throw it out there that Linden is number 1
- [15:44] Oskar Linden: 1 is Linden :-)
- [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: yeah
- [15:44] TankMaster Finesmith: lol
- [15:44] Oskar Linden: actually I think Linden is like 4
- [15:44] Ima Mechanique: and Tester?
- [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: really
- [15:44] Draconis Neurocam: cause doug is the oldest avatar i could find
- [15:44] Oskar Linden: it's been a while since I poked the db
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: there is an older one
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: what is her name
- [15:45] TankMaster Finesmith: ruth
- [15:45] TankMaster Finesmith: :D
- [15:45] Ima Mechanique: poking Db's is a dangerous art, sometimes they poke back
- [15:45] arton Rotaru: lol
- [15:45] Theresa Tennyson: Wasn't "Steller Sunshine" the first official resident?
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: lemme find it
- [15:45] Kallista Destiny: Yeah
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: yes
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: there
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: Steller

- [15:45] Oskar Linden: I know her personally
- [15:45] Oskar Linden: really awesome
- [15:45] Theresa Tennyson: Kewl!
- [15:45] Draconis Neurocam: 3dacc611-17d1-20a9-986f-721528a4857e ruth doesnt have one of the special keys though
- [15:46] Draconis Neurocam: a2e76fcd-9360-4f6d-a924-000000000001 theres dougs

- [15:47] Draconis Neurocam: what is 2?
- [15:48] Oskar Linden: Resident is 10327
- [15:48] Moundsa Mayo: If you keep poking that DB we may all end up nameless!
- [15:48] Oskar Linden: 2 is a secret ;-)
- [15:48] TankMaster Finesmith: lol
- [15:48] Homeless: Must be oskar!

- [15:48] Oskar Linden: 914
- [15:48] Oskar Linden: 10910 is tennyson
- [15:48] arton Rotaru: 12 mins left to find your number:p
- [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: techmann, anf finesmith?
- [15:49] Moundsa Mayo: No, 2 is Secret
- [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: and*
- [15:49] Draconis Neurocam: really im under 1000, awesome
- [15:49] Oskar Linden: err db offline
- [15:49] Oskar Linden: no more queries
- [15:49] TankMaster Finesmith: LOL
- [15:49] Oskar Linden: that felt like a gameshow
- [15:49] Larre LeborskiLarre Leborski wonders what his number is....
- [15:49] Homeless: crashed
- [15:49] Oskar Linden: tester was 117
- [15:50] Theresa Tennyson: Uh oh, we broke it...
- [15:50] Oskar Linden: anyway
- [15:50] Ima Mechanique: this weeks meeting was brought to you by the bugs SVC and numbers 1,2,42...
- [15:51] Draconis Neurocam: thanks oskar
- [15:51] TankMaster FinesmithTankMaster Finesmith wonders what # is emerald
- [15:51] TankMaster Finesmith: ph well :P
- [15:51] Ima Mechanique: on the agenda SCR-6 is mentioned under "Any Other Stuff". is that just decoration?
- [15:51] Oskar Linden: that might be old
- [15:51] Oskar Linden: and I forgot to remove it
- [15:51] Oskar Linden: I think we talked about it last week
- [15:51] Ima Mechanique: ahh, wasn't here last week
- [15:52] Larre Leborski: hmmm...
- [15:52] Oskar Linden: I don't remember
- [15:52] Oskar Linden: ok. 8 minutes left
- [15:53] Theresa Tennyson: Another random thought I had - I know you can keep text chat, sounds, etc. from going OUT of a parcel. Is it theoretically possible to keep them from coming INTO a parcel?
- [15:53] Oskar Linden: I might shut the meeting down a tad early
- [15:53] TankMaster Finesmith: no
- [15:53] Oskar Linden: hmm
- [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: enjoy the nice weather
- [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: np*
- [15:54] Oskar Linden: isn't there that one parcel setting that lets you do that now?
- [15:54] Larre Leborski: :-)
- [15:54] Oskar Linden: or is that only one way
- [15:54] Theresa Tennyson: That keeps it from going OUT. If you could keep stuff from coming IN that would really frustrate griefers.
- [15:54] Oskar Linden: gestures and objects sounds are stuck inside the parcel
- [15:54] TankMaster Finesmith: if you enable privacy on the parcle, it blocks both ways
- [15:55] Oskar Linden: like a total wall
- [15:55] Theresa Tennyson: Kewl...
- [15:55] Oskar Linden: hmm
- [15:55] Oskar Linden: not sure that will happen anytime soon
- [15:55] Theresa Tennyson: Just a thought.
- [15:55] Oskar Linden: yeah
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: alright guys. I'll give you 5 minutes back in your day!
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: 4 minutes now
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: :-p
- [15:56] arton Rotaru: thx ^^
- [15:56] TankMaster Finesmith: woot woot
- [15:56] Lares Carter: thanks for the meeting, Oskar
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: thanks for coming out
- [15:56] Moundsa Mayo: Oskar, thanks for your time!
- [15:56] Ima Mechanique: ooooh, extra sleeping time
- [15:56] Theresa Tennyson: Thank you!
- [15:56] Flip Idlemind: Oh, something I wanna bring up here at the last minute. There's a feature called "Avatar Sounds", which restricts who can play sounds on a parcel. Would it be possible to do the same thing but with Voice?
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: let me know of bluesteel or letigre have inv issues over the weekend k?
- [15:56] Oskar Linden: possibly
- [15:57] Oskar Linden: I don't think anyone is working on that Flip
- [15:57] TankMaster Finesmith: its SL, it alwyas has inventory problems :P
- [15:57] Flip Idlemind: I'm not even sure if it's possible to restrict voice usage in that way, making it so people can hear but nto speak
- [15:57] Ima Mechanique: will do, I'm on LT
- [15:57] Larre Leborski: Indeed.. I am on a LeTogre sim lots, so will do :-)
- [15:57] Larre Leborski: *LeTigre
- [15:57] Moundsa Mayo: I'm a BSer B^D
- [15:57] Ima MechaniqueIma Mechanique bites tounge ;-)
- [15:58] Moundsa Mayo: B^P
- [15:58] Larre Leborski: Indeed :-)
- [15:58] arton Rotaru: I'm out. bye all
- [15:58] TankMaster Finesmith: tc
- [15:58] Oskar Linden: l8r)
