1. The never ending problems in second life are becoming annoying, we need second life to become open source so we can all 'pitch in' and make second life much better for everyone!

By creating second life open source you and businesses would be able to run second life on your own servers and then connect those servers to the grid which would make second life a much bigger, better and popular place and maybe even the thing that replaces the internet. Also it would become what Second Life have said it was all the time "a 3D online digital world imagined, created, & owned by its Residents".

2. I'm starting to think, looking at their blog, that they should only post on days where nothing is wrong. "Hey... everything is fine today!" Easy solution, and their blog would be about 10% the length it is now. :(

3. The strange thing here is that again Linden Lab did not divulgate the cause of the problem. As I already suspected during the troubles after the gambling ban (see my post http://second-life-millionaire.blogspot.com/2007/07/second-life-under-attack-lindenlab-not.html), it sounds more and more probable to me that they have to face with more and more attackers.

This had to be expected, as SL popularity and media presence is growing. Some of the attacks may be even aim at getting money out of the game illegaly.

4. Attacks on the grid aren't exactly uncommon, being at least a couple times each week before the gambling ban - from what I've seen.

Occam's Razor suggests that the communications Lindens who post to the blog don't understand the notes that they get from the ops Lindens well enough to communicate the issues to users.

SL being more... immediate, the users want to know same-day what the trouble was, rather than waiting two or three days for translators.

5. "Hey, we found a bug!! It was a flea in one of the severs...jumping all around"

Nice blog post that would be...:)
