		<description>Hi Prok.  The &quot;red pill&quot; is a reference from Matrix.  Neo was given the option of taking a &quot;blue pill&quot; and returning to the fantasy, virtual world of the Matrix, or take the red pill instead and move to reality.  For me, best pill I ever took. One doesn&#039;t realize how addictive and life-consuming SL can be until one breaks the addiction.

Of course, I have a hard time resisting these blogs.  LOL.  It&#039;s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. :D

		<description>Yes, they are looking for a new scapegoat, well said Wayfinder. What is the red pill?

Uri, I realize you can put a link in the text, but I was wondering if, like on other websites you can put a link that goes underneath the picture, so that clicking on the picture makes the reader go to another website. I don&#039;t see how to do that tho here.

These days, I find there are actually only two sims on a server. So if they have 5000 simulators, let&#039;s say there are 2,500 servers. Then that means 10 users per server if there are 25,000 logged on. Am I missing something here?

Still, I wonder why, given that obvious, glaring number, they didn&#039;t think *first* about how they were literally going to house a million servers.

Ordinal, if Philip could have once dreamed up the idea of compressing video images to make Real work, could he think up some other way to make more angles dance on the head of a pin?

		<description>Prok, I&#039;m reminded of the old corporate trick of hiring a new President to &quot;straighten things out&quot; when in actuality, what they&#039;re looking for is someone to blame things on and take the rap for things not working.

Not saying that&#039;s what&#039;s going on here, but one has to wonder how a new person would qualify to untangle the SL knotted ball.

But then again, how many times have I said, &quot;If something isn&#039;t working, try something else.&quot;  The question is, will the new person be allowed to bring in new techniques and ideas, or will he be dealing with the Same Old Problems?

And of course, the most important question:  why do I care?  LOL

Ah, RL is wondrous.  I just enjoyed driving 1 1/2 hours today at 5 to 35mph in a snowstorm.  Ah well.  At least I wasn&#039;t neck-deep in data crashes. :D

Took the red pill-- and loving it.  Of course, I can&#039;t resist jousting with old friends from time to time. :D

		<description>I would hope that the solution to the problem of having a system created by geniuses, which has nevertheless outgrown the capability of any genius to understand, control and co-ordinate, was not &quot;hire a _bigger_ genius!&quot;

		<description>Just add the link in the text.

On the topic of this post, I&#039;m reminded of the interview I did with Trevor Smith of Ogoglio a couple weeks ago (http://www.secondlifeherald.com/slh/2007/01/interview_with_.html).  He identified the server farm issue as one of the key obstacles facing SL.  With a server to active user ratio of 1 to 2, if they ever really did have a million active users it would be madness.  If they grew to the size of a google or yahoo it isn&#039;t clear there would be enough colocation space to house all the needed servers.  And that is before we even get to the question of networking them.  I quote:


&quot;I believe their core problem is that they have a server to active user ratio of 1 to 2. No matter how they pay for such a massive server farm, that just doesn&#039;t scale to the size of the web... Running 2k+ servers for 20k active users is insane in comparison to what even very active, complex web applications get. A big web server can handle thousands of simultaneous active users. I&#039;m not saying that LL isn&#039;t doing the necessary engineering for a service like SL, but that a service like SL isn&#039;t scalable to anything like web scales. Is there even enough colo space available to scale to even the size of a single large web service like Yahoo! or Google?&quot;

		<description>Uri or Walker, can you explain how you can link a photo to a website with typepad? I don&#039;t see a way to do it. So I put the attribution and noted it was a Creative Commons attribution photo. Can you explain what more to do?
