Tateru Nino — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:58:38 +0000

Now, this isn’t the first time that the Lab has worked on mobile applications. I don’t know what the eventual fate of the last mobile projects were, other than that they were apparently abandoned.

End of a feature

Tateru Nino — Wed, 18 May 2011 06:17:16 +0000

First up, I’d really like to thank all of you for your attention to the Weekly Linden account changes column that I ran weekly. Consistently, week after week, for the last 38 weeks the feature has attracted more readers than any other single thing.

Linden Lab fixes security warning by eliminating session security

Tateru Nino — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 01:56:42 +0000

You already know that Linden Lab’s security certificate expired, resulting in big scary warnings that might look to the layman as if someone had hijacked the Second Life blogs Web-site.
