Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.68 (lower is better).
• Linden Lab published November's Service Quality metrics.
• In a burst of irony, the Second Life website went down in the early afternoon, redirecting everyone to the grid status page (a familiar failure mode for those of you that have been around a while – this seems to happen every three months or so).
• A new Windlight First Look viewer was released, this one apparently merged with the 1.18.6 code branch.
• Electric Sheep Company ditched a third of their staff in a reorganization.
• Ecstacy Realty is holding a competition to give L$10,000 to some lucky newbie.
