It must seem to my old friends that I’ve descended into a world of fantasy as I write my posts about experiences in role play. Actually, I haven’t spent as much time in role play as I would like. The main focus of my time in the past month has been completing the new garden and features at Yemple sim. In fact, I ask Taka tonight about possibly making an official opening tomorrow.

Despite all the role play and gardening going on, I’ve managed to get around to some of my favorite places when my Internet service is not overworked. I’m glad to have learned from other friends that with their own ISP problems coupled with LL’s recent work on sims and who-knows-what, it’s been Rough Rockin’ for a lot of us. I want to take a few minutes to document the problems, lest I forget.

I hope I don’t sound like I’m criticizing JYB, they are trying new things to fix the terrible lag problems. And I can’t fault LL for trying to refactor there code as they move forward on solving the lag problems. I really believe that’s what’s happening, LL is having to create new frameworks for their server side software. Then I don’t know how much of the hard rockin’ problems are also related to ISPs, like my Frontier Communications. I know Frontier is trying to cleanup bottlenecks too. It’s just hard to hangout with large groups of old friends till these issues are resolved. Then there are other clubs…

Junkyard Blues is part of my SL family and I really miss being able to just hop over there and catch shows, so I apologize to Kiff & Dina and my friends. But you can see, it’s been rough. Taka and I have stayed away from sims with large groups and hung out at our garden working on building and gardening, and just wandering around.

My hopes are pinned on the techs at Frontier Communications and Linden Lab. I’m hoping they can sort out all the issues that are impacting performance. I’m confident they are trying. /me gives the techs a hug
