Lieber Tomi,

ich hoffe, es geht Dir gut auf Deiner Reise.

Du warst einer der geradlinigsten und aufrichtigsten Menschen, denen ich je begegnet bin. Leider konnte ich nicht oft an Deinen Events teilnehmen, weil es erneut Missverständnisse über meine Absichten gab.

Das Logo habe ich sehr gerne für Dich gestaltet.

Danke für Deine Freundschaft und für die gemeinsamen Begegnungen. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Du im Himmel bist – denn wenn jemand es verdient hat, dort zu sein, dann Du.

In herzlicher Erinnerung und mit lieben Grüßen von Aphra

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Tomi,

I hope you are doing well on your journey.

You were one of the most straightforward and genuine people I have ever met. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend your events very often because there were once again misconceptions about my intentions.

I was very happy to create the logo for you.

Thank you for your friendship and for the moments we were able to share. I am sure you are in heaven, because if anyone deserves to be there, it is you.

Remembering you with heartfelt affection and sending you warm regards,

Aphra

Hello, dear OSgrid friends!

With the expected closure of OSgrid at the end of December 2026, many of us are facing the challenge of finding a new virtual home. Over the past few days, several residents have already reached out to me looking for a place to settle in.

If you are one of them, you are very welcome at Cozy Sun Grid! We would love to help you find a new home for your avatar, meet new friends, and become part of a small, creative community where people know and appreciate one another.

There is room for you here — and perhaps this is the beginning of something wonderful!

MONSTERS & CRYSTALS!

Well, it has been a hot minute since I pushed some mesh up into the stores!

We have some TRULY HORRIBLE MONSTERS new in the Original Stuffz & Junkz! Ready and willing to be in your scariest Halloween regions!

(Don't tell them they are horrible! They have lovely personalities!)

We also have some wonderful crystals in the Stuffz & Junkz Outdoors! Perfect for your crystal garden or your crystal caves!

What an unfortunate turn of events. I have many fond memories of OSgrid. One must wonder who would stand to gain from this act of turpitude against the TEST BED of Opensim. Yet another attack on the open nature of Opensim. Now I expect grids to start restricting oar and iar access...

This news is very saddening and the community is behind you.

Thank you OSgrid for your service!

⛵ CA Sailing Race – Chaos on the High Seas of Neverworld! 🏴‍☠️

Every once in a while, we gather our bravest (and occasionally most reckless) captains for a sailing race in the Neverworld Grid!

Our beautiful 4x4 VAR provides the perfect playground for some serious sailing, questionable navigation, and the occasional act of piracy. The racecourse is shown on the map, although following it correctly is apparently optional.

Last Friday, four fearless captains entered the competition:

Miss Eva Nowicka – Fast, fearless, and apparently equipped with a secret turbo engine.

Navy Commander Ballyrae Hanley – A distinguished officer of the Navy, whose navigation instruments seem to have a mind of their own.

Rabit Pink Pirate Snoots Dwagon – A pirate who firmly believes that cannon fire is a perfectly acceptable racing strategy.

Smuggler Miss Trouble Ahead – An innocent, law-abiding smuggler who just wanted a peaceful afternoon at sea. Naturally.

🏁 Race One – Speed, Cannonballs and Suspicious Tactics

Miss Eva Nowicka took the lead and sailed to victory at an incredible speed. We are still investigating whether she secretly installed a jet engine below deck.

Second place went to Snoots Dwagon, who spent a considerable part of the race enthusiastically shooting at Miss Trouble's stern. After receiving enough cannonballs to supply a small naval war, Trouble's ship lost speed, allowing the sneaky pirate to overtake her just before the finish line.

Commander Ballyrae also demonstrated impressive speed, but unfortunately finished last due to what the official Navy report describes as "technical difficulties with the navigation instruments."

The rest of us call it getting lost.

💥 Race Two – Collisions, Cursing and a Heroic Sinking

The second race started with a bang. Quite literally.

Shortly after the start, Miss Eva and Snoots Dwagon managed to collide, proving once again that two excellent sailors do not necessarily make one excellent traffic situation.

While the two captains were busy shouting, shaking their fists, and exchanging what we assume were traditional nautical compliments, Commander Ballyrae and Miss Trouble seized their opportunity.

With remarkable speed and, for once, no major navigational disasters, Miss Trouble and Commander Ballyrea crossed the finish line first!

Miss Eva eventually arrived in third place, probably still muttering something about pirates and the rules of the sea.

As for Captain Snoots Dwagon...

Well, he decided to take a closer look at the local reefs. Unfortunately, he took his entire ship with him.

He sank heroically, spectacularly, and completely unnecessarily.

We salute his bravery. His navigation skills, however, remain under investigation.

🏴‍☠️ Until the Next Race!

What a glorious afternoon of racing, cannon fire, collisions, shouting, and questionable seamanship!

Nobody was seriously injured, several egos suffered considerable damage, and at least one ship is now providing accommodation for the local fish.

Many thanks to all four captains for a fantastic race!

Fair winds, following seas, and remember:

In Catronian waters, winning is optional. Surviving is an achievement!

FISHING FUN AT LINKUP GRID! Fishing starts at 8:00 AM Grid Time!
Who will be the LUCKY FISHER this morning?

Grab your fishing gear, cast your line, and join us for a bit of friendly fun! Will you reel in the biggest catch, or perhaps the catch of the day?

SVPortal v2.0 Beta 1 is now available.

This release brings the new setup registry to replace most of the configuration in config.php (some items have to stay there - like database connection details: you cant get the database connection details from the database until you know how to connect to the database!)

Existing users will need to upgrade their grid settings, and a script is provided to do this - but please read the note on the download at https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ for more information, and download.

NOTE: SVPortal is a totally separate standalone application running in PHP. It is not a plugin to WordPress or any other CMS it is a full application by itself.

We got rid of region borders. Once the rolling restart completes you will never hit a region border on Wolf Territories Grid, you wil happily sail between regions, if you come to the extremes of the grid you will "wrap around" just like a globe. In fact our new WolfViewer / WolfStorm map view release coming out today will start off with a globe as we are no longer constrained by region borders. (still works on other grids and other viewer users can still experience no region borders but it won't be as smooth as with WolfViewer), plus we are releasing automatic upgrades, proper linux packages (deb etc) for all linux.
