I just received an email regarding the Jira issue SVC-1648, which pertains to the problem that C:SI users are having with kicks in Havok™ 4 early-adopter sims, notifying me that it has finally been assigned to Kelly Linden.
Apparently Kelly Linden had not seen the object that I passed to Sidewinder Linden as a repro case :
Please give me a copy of the super simple object you mention. I’m having trouble tracking it down.
I suppose the Lindens get all kinds of inventory offers from all kinds of people, so I made sure to put the JIRA issue number in the object’s name before I passed another copy to Kelly.
Kelly also asked
Push behavior has changed significantly since this bug was first filed. Not saying there aren’t still issues. Have you tested these on the build currently on the Beta grid?
I have not yet been to the Beta grid to test the latest Havok™ version there. Has anyone else done so? If so, please leave a comment about whether the behavior is still the same.
Here’s to hoping for a resolution before Havok™ 4 goes live grid-wide!!!

I recently saw an article on Darien Caldwell’s blog that Linden Lab® is preparing to launch Havok™ 4 grid-wide in the near future, as soon as the next week or two. The post stated that supporting text could be found on the Second Life® Blog, but when I went to look for myself, no such text could be found. Turns out that Linden Lab® had removed the text because the announcement of the rollout was "possibly premature", but Darien is obviously not the only person to have noticed.
In today’s Second Life® Blog article, Gaius Goodliffe also mentions the quick edit (in response to a question by Vittorio Beerbaum), as well as a bit of discussion regarding the subject at the last Havok™ 4 office hours. Gaius further speculates that it seems very likely that the rollout will occur as planned, and Massively seems to agree :
The text was, apparently, very quickly withdrawn, but we think that it is very plausible that the Havok™.4 code will roll out either next week or the week after. It’s presently into release-candidates, and the reports we have on how it functions are all very positive. Assuming 1.19.2 goes well this week, it seems likely that Havok™.4 will hit the grid within the next 14 days.
It would seem that calling Havok™ 4 a "Release Candidate" was intentional after all? In any case, it seems likely (or at least Linden Lab® has not denied it even though they’ve responded to other comments on the same blog post) that we can expect Havok™ 4 on all sims in the very near future.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’ve decided that now is a good time for me to redesign the theme I use for my blog. For too long now, I’ve used a WordPress theme that, while it looked nice enough, did absolutely nothing to visually convey the topic or spirit of the site.
I’m pretty pleased with the amount of progress I’ve managed to make so far, but I’m no web designer so there’s still much work to be done. On top of that, there are some very weird quirks about the way my blog works (it’s a modified self-hosted WordPress installation using K2 as a base theme) that make development difficult. Specifically, I cannot get the K2 sidebar modules to load in my local sandbox installation, so I will undoubtedly have to deal with things that work great on my development machine that are broken on the live site.
Feedback is always welcome, but please keep in mind that this is the first WordPress theme I’ve ever made, and I’m no graphic artist, so please be kind 
And if everything breaks, well… You have been warned. I’ll do my best to fix it, haha.
