Don't know, we can't run Second Life in our two labs now with the new client. I am desperately in search of an open source client with lighter system requirements, or else PacRimX is going to be ex-PacRimX.  I am going to test the RealXtend Viewer next week (http://pacificrimx.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/great-day-for-a-meeting-not/).  It's been a bad week all the way around.  

And yes, that was me in the black suit with the yellow tie (which was color coordinated with the color scheme of the pool area).  Which avatar were you?  Check pic at our blog to see if you were sitting in the next lounge chair (http://pacificrimx.wordpress.com/2008/04/11/great-day-for-a-meeting-not/).

Rain, rain, go away!

I knew something was very wrong when only about 5 people were there when the meeting was supposed to start. Usually we have about 10x that many, averaging somewhere between 30 and 60 people for each event, so it was strangely quite. Almost eerie.

I think Stan (Trevena) made it in last...right before the lock-out. Was that you Stan?

Is it just me or has Second Life been less stable since the latest upgrade?

|  for next Friday. See you all in-world soon. Aaron
