Thanks Dun

I've been tinkering with the wind - and with things in the wind and affected by the wind. It seems like that the default wind base wind_update_rate 50 in the ini file for the server is set to a default of 750? rather than the usual default 150. I'm wondering if my assumption about the update rate is...

Aha. That begs the question 'How do we notify you that we've updated our place photo to be an image of the referenced world?' I suspect that because my initial image was placeholder, and then i updated with a photo from my region, that the manual assignment never got reset. Is it something you only ...

Working closely with Rosa, who i think has great insight about the reactions most folks have to such messages, and taking feedback into consideration - here's the next draft - There are several changes that are designed to make it more positively focused on the advantages. I'm starting to like the a...

Fun idea for a future 'ad' approach... How big is your house? 100 prims? Mine is 100 thousand prims.

Just had a very helpful conversation with Rosa re pricing messaging. She's always been very frugal about such things so it really helps to see from her perspective. For her the 17 cents / hour is an immediate intimidator. I need to do some research but i suspect that this is why phone companies sell...
