Yesterday in Second Life, Friday 30 November, 2007

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 14,411 new signups bringing the total to 11,180,308 signups.
• A peak concurrency of 53,084 at 2:50PM, and a minimum concurrency of 28,916 at 2:05AM. Median concurrency for the day was 42,430.
• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.44 (lower is better).
• A dangerous exploit in QuickTime was revealed today which has troublesome implications for Second Life, as well as for any software that can access third-party QuickTime streams.
• SLCC 2008 is gearing up for its run in Tampa, Florida next year. Conference track proposals are open to the public. Though some might say "Open Tracks = Closed Conference".
• Gamepro hates the Second Life err.. HUD. We're actually not sure which of many elements they're objecting to. While Second Life's UI has drawn some deserved criticism (including by us), there are worse out there.
• Voice maintenance went more smoothly than expected, but the (now normal) nightly troubles settled in as usual in the wee hours of the morning.

Below is the day's concurrency graphed for yesterday (left), and the corresponding day from the previous week (right)

Active users reported by Linden Lab (that is, users who have logged in for more than 60 minutes in the last 60 days) is 1,495,561. Linden Lab last updated this figure on 26 Nov 2007 at 23:59.

Considering this figure wasn't fixed by Linden Lab yesterday, it seems unlikely that any progress will be made fixing it today. The active-users figure seems to need almost daily resuscitation.
