Hang on to your hairnets everyone, Second Life is fully in the Cloud!
On Tuesday, the lab posted an announcement on their blog saying that it is mission accomplished apart from a handful of issues. We're off their old hardware and all located in one big fluffy cloud on the Amazon Web Servers. They also posted video of a giant shredding machine making robotic mince meat out of their old hard disks. The video below (taken from the link below) shows a good few continents getting mashed.
In other news, it seems the acquisition of Linden Lab has gone through and it is under new management. The lab says it will give them even more resources!
Head over to their blog to read the news yourself, now that I've told you the plot.

Out with the old.. shredding of the old kit.
On Monday evening, Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland announced a second National Lockdown for Great Britain.
With immediate effect, the 70 million people of Great Britain are quarantined with a "stay at home" order that will be reviewed again on February 15th, but widely expected to last until mid-March.
Heralding this lockdown as 'One Final Push', is is hoped that at least 20 million of the most vulnerable people will receive the Oxford vaccine, developed in the UK and marketed by AstraZeneca UK, by the end of February.
Life should slowly start returning to normal in the spring.
Since social mixing is now prohibited by law, this undoubtedly adds up to a lot of people feeling isolated, or bored, or anxious, or a combination of these things.
We hope to alleviate some of that in London City. Each day, thousands of people, pop in, or hang out and nearly all have a story to tell. The greatest support network is user-to-user interaction, with the varying life perspectives that Residents bring with them and are willing to share with one another.
As always, our clubs and events begin every day around 12pm SL time (8pm UK) and we have a weekly outdoor concert and party on Saturdays and a double event running every Sunday from 11am SL time.
So if you are feeling at a loose end, want some company, or just want to talk, come to London City. With your company, together, we will get through this once again.
Hang in there!
Wishing you a Happy New Year. Sending positive thoughts that 2021 will prove to be a better one than last year.
