Yesterday in Second Life, Monday 7 January, 2008

Yesterday in Second Life there was:

• 11,983 new signups bringing the total to 11,818,072 signups.

• A peak concurrency of 56,440 at 1:50PM, and a minimum concurrency of 30,577 at 1:25AM. Median concurrency for the day was 43,660.

• The Grid Stability Index for the day was 2.34 (lower is better).

• Poor day - logins spent the better part of the morning disabled or erratic. This apparently was due to database problems, but when corrected neither JIRA nor wiki logins were responding. This was, in turn, traced to a bungled firewall configuration.

• Robin Linden spoke at Metanomics today. The sim was full, there were login issues (as noted above) and the stream from slcn.tv was reportedly broken for much of the session, but is now viewable.

• The servers which run the Second Life forums were relocated without advance notice - the announcement came six minutes after downtime was to commence.

• Bonus points for map difficulties - with the inworld map service apparently bungling the locations of simulators.
