Every few months, I highlight a teen that recently turned 18 and transferred to the Main Grid. Last week, one of the most successful Teen Grid residents made her journey to the other side. Asuka Martin was the grid's #1 skin maker, taking her island and creations with her when she left.

Wicked Loudon prepared this sad video for his good friend. You may remember him from the heartbreaking video he made for Kit Axon last year. In his homage, they dance, play, and enjoy her teens for just a little bit longer before she goes.

As I've mentioned before, the Main Grid has a low retention rate for teen transfers. According to Snapzilla, Asuka isn't having too much fun on MG. If you have a little extra time, send her an IM and make her feel welcome!

Cristiano Midnight is not a happy bunny. You see, he runs SL-Universe and (more particularly in this case) the part of it called Snapzilla, which is sort of like flickr specifically adapted for Second Life, where hundreds or thousands of snapshots are emailed from Second Life each day in an email format called a postcard.

Midnight's problem is that the postcard format suddenly changed, causing a whole lot of images intended for Snapzilla to go in the trash. Midnight had to work pretty hard to figure out what the changes were and adjust the software to work with it. You might think, "Meh. Linden Lab can do whatever they like with the format. They don't have to warn anyone". Perhaps - but actually they specifically promised not to do that after a previous snafu with IMs. We'd be pretty ticked off in that position.
