Alone

I missed Maggie Friday morning because I slept long, and in the evening her computer broke down. She won't be able to come to Avination again until at earliest some time next week, and I miss her much.

I've spent what time I've had online the last couple of days with my scripting project, today adding some physical parts of it, including sculpt maps and sounds. The core of it is done now, but I've added an API to it, for others to be able to script it, and that part still may need some tweaking, and some simple sample applications to demonstrate how it can be used. I get the feeling this can become something really good and appreciated.

The growth of Avination has slowed down substantially the last week, and the number of sims have even decreased since its peak 2 weeks ago. The number of unique visitors over the last 30 days have decreased officially now, even if it's probably been decreasing before, but hidden by the fact that the counter for it was reset a bit over a month back, so the count hasn't been comparable for a full 30 days until the last few days.

My impression is that the in-world stability has improved some, and the new PR manager for Avination probably means a lot to improve the general impression. However, considering how customer relations were mis-managed before, I'm not surprised that Avination still seems to suffer from it. It will most probably still take quite some time to repair the damage done with all the upset and disappointed customers having left Avination and not making any good PR for it after the mess up until a week ago or so.

It simply doesn't work out to present Avination as a second Second Life and then scorn disappointed people for believing it, and Avination still hasn't corrected that part of their PR yet.
