SecondLife v1.9 Upgrade

It was announced that the grid would be shut down today until 2pmCST for the most recent upgrade. I went to log in at 2:30 and was not allowed in. According to the forum, there is a bug they found that needed immediate fixing, and stated that the grid would be down until 5pm CST. (Don’t you hate it when you see this??)

According to the release notes, among the many new features, there is a really neat camera feature.

In addition, if you put an attachment on your avatar which uses FollowCam, you can turn around completely - and wave at the camera! You can also freeze the camera’s location, and it will stay put - right where you left it.

There is a video(Created by Ben Linden) that shows up to 14 different parameters that you can set the new camera with. If youv’e played the game - you may want to check it out. It looks to work much smoother.
