Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 16,552 new signups bringing the total to 11,673,931 signups.

• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 1.58 (lower is better).
• An issue that could potentially have compromised the account credentials for Second Life's sizeable German population was tackled by Linden Lab earlier today, resulting in the yanking and subsequent updating of First Look/Windlight and Release Candidate viewers.
• Beacon problems come to light that have been impacting teleportation particularly of less experienced users for some little time now.
• Joshua Linden took a little extra time to warn us of a rolling restart which is due in the new year, on Wednesday 2 January.
• What's Cory Ondrejka doing next year? Well, he's not totally certain himself, yet, but he's got a couple things worked out, and he's got his own blog now.
