…that’s it, we’re moving this week. This will result in a few hours downtime at most, which will be announced beforehand.

If your dropboxes got stuck during this outage, I urge you to update to version 1.2 to prevent this in the future.

It is technologically impossible to confirm in LSL if an item delivery completed successfully or failed. Blame LL. In fact, I’m told this is a problem in more established mass-delivery systems like Subscribe-O-Matic as well. Unfortunately, with DSN it is not guaranteed that an item delivered in the past is supposed to still be available, and well, INSOLENCE, for example, put a no copy/transfer item in their sample, which is, in fact, a good idea in the marketing sense, and a good idea for clothing in general, if you ask me, but would be pointless if you could have unlimited redeliveries…

Regardless, here’s an experimental solution to this problem. In the Clever Things shop in Takalo, next to the subscription kiosk, you will find a redelivery terminal, which will allow you to request all DSN samples that you have received in the past 24 hours to be resent. There are the following gotchas though:

• You are only allowed one redelivery request per 24 hours, and only the items sent in the past 24 hours will be redelivered.
• Items will not arrive immediately, but during the course of the next three hours. It is best if you are online at that time. In the future, I will make them arrive over the next ten minutes, but that will require an update to the dropboxes, the required capability will be in the next release.
• If the dropbox no longer exists since that delivery was filled, nothing can arrive in the first place.
• If the item has been changed after it has been sent, you will get the new item, rather than the one that you were sent before.

Let’s see how this works out. If it proves effective enough, a redelivery terminal will be bundled with the kiosk kit, so that there can be more of them. If it’s not effective enough, I’ll try to think of something else… :)
