If Linden Labs had a religion, that would be the opening to its Holy Book. Nothing is working again. The bloody timely fashion errors are haunting. But of course nothing it noted on the status page. The only thing the staus page is concerned with is something about payments not working…. of course when it’s payments that aren’t working, Linden Labs ensures there is a workaround. Allow me to quote from the bad news page:-

“Our payment processor is currently experiencing technical difficulties which may result in related transaction failures for some residents. Please consider using PayPal as an option in the meantime.”

See when anything else fails, like the asshole server or the network, the simple answer is, ‘Don’t rezz, don’t make transactions, don’t move, don’t breathe, don’t teleport. In fact don’t even login.’ And then you’re expected to wait patiently until someone finishes their lunch and can be assed making up an excuse for the problem.

However, when payments are down there’s an answer…. PAYPAL! See this way Linden Labs can still line their pockets! Wonderful how it works isn’t it.

I am going to suggest a new approach to the error messages for Sundays. I suggest that anyone attempting to rezz, move, teleport or buy something should be greeted with the following:-

“WHOAH WHOAH WHOAH! Wtf do you think you’re doing, asshole. This is Sunday you fucktard. You can’t move on Sundays. How dare you even login. Go to Hell. By the way, your premium fee is due. Regard, LL.”

Anyway, Happy Sunday!
