Asset server maintenance

SL is currently down to all but Lindens right now. They’re doing work on the asset servers to increase their reliability, something that everyone wants to happen. It’s certainly a different time to pull the grid off line for a planned maintenance for Linden Lab, but it’s certainly a good thing to have these planned …

Friday night problems

Well it used to be Sundays were the big problem nights but now it seems to have become Fridays. It seems that we’re told not to perform any transactions as well as logins are restricted.
