Hehe,too funny

On a more serious note, I do think that having tools like this will go a long way to educating people about their personal "contributions" to lag, something that was pretty difficult before these kinds of measurements came out.
I have this image of all these bald avi's standing around in their underwear trying to figure out where the scripts are hidden!!
I guess at that point it's best to get your own "private" version )
It's amazing how many scripts can be attached to one little avi!!
These scripts impact overall sim performance and have a direct impact on your personal SL experience.
Fortunately, there are now tools available to measure the number of scripts you are wearing and the amount of region memory you are consuming. It is recommended that you have no more than 50 scripts and/or 2 megabytes (2,000k) attached to your avi.
I have set up a Script Impact measure on the back wall of the Duch de CoeurRP Welcome Area
With a little bit of effort I was able to reduce my scripts to 27 (from 53) using 1632k (from 32000k) of memory. I found that my clothes & hair (often big offenders) were fine but the MystiTool HUD was very script heavy so I customized it to scripts that I use regularly. I feel much lighter now )
Please feel free to check it out. You will notice that as you remove objects with scripts in them your totals will update.
Many thanks to Ann Otoole for the Script Impact measure and to Chalice Yao for the original code. If you would like your own, Ann has a free copy of the Script Impact at her store here:
Unique Needs Fantasy Vampire Clo, Blueberry (160, 135, 101)
Have fun losing that script weight!! Maybe you would like to report here how it went?

The Microsoft rumour has been around for a while now. I've followed a couple of trails that have discredited it so I'll believe it if/when it happens.
On another note, I believe that it's Rod Humble's first day as CEO today
I'm very optimistic about the future of SL, especially since the announcement of the new CEO. I think that it's a very good thing to have someone steering the ship that knows about managing IT shops as well as gaming and virtual worlds. It's a much better fit than having someone with a marketing background in that position.
From what I can gather, SL isn't in decline but has plateaued which is just fine with me. It's gone through the "bright, shiny & new" phase and now is progressing to "stable & established". I have to laugh when I read about the "good old days" which supposedly ended in 2007 especially since I didn't join SL until 2008.
We've been able to create and maintain our own little historical community for quite a while now and I think it just keeps getting better thanks to everyone that contributes on a continual basis.
All and all life in SL is good
If you would like to read a thought provoking article see Second Life Next: 2011 by Dusan Writer. It's looong but really worth the effort.
It's beautiful!! Thank you for sharing it with us.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of this project as it progresses. Good call on keeping the general feel of the facade but "creating it on a far smaller scale than the original". It's tricky adapting RL to SL and I think you've found the perfect balance
Merry Christmas, Summer )
I'm guessing that you're getting more rain than snow over in your part of the RL world. At least you don't have to shovel it!
