I found this tucked away in the blog. One of LL login servers crashed for a while, no one really notices as they quickly re-routed all the traffic to another server. You know, this on top of the Search problems post-mortem is making me think LL is finnaly understanding the importance of speed and communication 
. Only time will tell. Anyways, the problem is fixed, but all logins are down for the update…oh well…just keep waiting just keep waiting… 
One of the Lindens finnaly decided the residents should know a little about all of those search problems that was going on for a few days. On the blog Everett Linden posted a lengthy post about everything they found. Mostly saying: This is what happened, this is what we did. It does show some Lindens understand that the residents need to be told about things going on…after all most of us are what allows you to get this weeks paycheck :p
Well, the grid is down for updates today. The projected downtime is from 6am till 12pm. A lot of bug fixes, thank god the annoying ones will be gone now.
