Thanks to the AMAZING Firestorm and OPENSIM NGC team (and a bit of work from us!) our whole grid is now running with PBR textures and terrains. IN fact this image doesn't use PBR materials, just the standard texturing. Wow.

News! Take the Teleport in the Darkroom located in the commercial area (in front of the swimming pool) and you will get directly to the new area or -------> hop://astralia.eu:8002/TierraDeVolcanes/57/358/3146

Wir freuen uns darauf, diese Tage mit euch zu teilen und miteinander in die Zukunft unserer aller virtuellen Welten zu blicken.

Get Help Finding Stuff
---------------------------------
Polar bears are good at helping you find stuff, if you can find one. So, people are using the box more and more to request help. As you know, comments in the box get drowned out by not nice comments. Even the nice comments push the requests down until they disappear. But there is help with that. Just join the What Are You Looking For group. https://opensimworld.com/groups/1060

• Why: As I mentioned, there is a short time before requests in the box go to oblivion The posts in the group stick around, increasing the chances that you will find help from our over 100 members.
• How to use the group: Post about items you are, well, looking for...outfits, builds, shops, services, skills, and so on. At times, a group member will actually make what you are looking for. How cool is that? (Hint: very cool!)

What happens if you help? First, you become one of the forces for good in the galaxy. OK, in OS and OSW. We need more goodness here, right? And, about every two weeks, I post a list of our recent helpers, a bit of their profile info, and the address of their region(s).

The What Are You Looking For group. It’s what you’ve been looking for!

A Wonderful and fun HG Safari Group visited Mech Lab on Safari...

Hi Everybody

I decided to leave Jungle Friends and build my own GRID.
This is an important and difficult decision. I want to thank you all for the support.
Now I will move forward and make my vision and dreams come true.
I hope to see you all soon.
I will return......but on my GRID
Follow updates about the process in Opensim world.

I'd like to announce that I'm going on vacation from OS for a time. But I've been on a vacation from OS already, for maybe two months now, and I'd have to interrupt my vacation to say that I'm not going on vacation because I'm already on vacation. So, no announcements. Mainly because, at this point, I'm confused about the whole vacation thing. However, while I'm pretty sure I'm on vacation from OS, I still log in to OSW on occasion to check on the What Are You Looking For group. The helpers there have been, and continue to be, incredible! Anyways, if you want to send me a message, I'm likely to see it, and I might just answer.

HOW TO USE THE MAINFRAME.
Download the free program wc3270 for windows. Install it. Set up a connection to cyberdatastorm.com:3270. Your logon ID & PASSWORD will be USER100 & PIZZA OR USER101 & TACOS . You will have access too JCL, COBOL, ASSEMBLY, C++, REXX, and will be able to use the SYSDUMPs. You will be on sysplex1 with full access to 3380, 3390, and 3350 DASD. You will also have access to IBM 3420 TAPE Unit. You can explore what a mainframe operating system is like and how it is different from personal computers. Obviously you will not have access to TOP SECRET or RACF. I often say that anyone can learn PC stuff (personal computers) like Linux, Windows, or Apple OSX by reading just 1 thick 2000 page book. But for the mainframe you need to read about 200-300 of those thick 2000 page books. It is way more complicated. There are 5 mainframe operating systems: IBM Unix called AIX, IBM vm/cms, IBM os/400, Digital Equipment Corp VMS, and the Zos family. This mainframe you are logging into is in the Zos family. It does support full ISPF/TSO and CDC's (cataloged datasets). You will not have access to easytrieve, expediter, endeavour, and CICS.

Just a beautifull scene..and to let you know that Samsara is going to expand her region... from 2x2 to 5x5!
What we are going to build will be a surprise. Im very excited about it!
But it will be stunning for sure!
Feel free to visit Samsara anytime and take a relaxing moment for yourself !
Try the Tai chi, the Dhamma Hall for the everyday course lead by SN Goenka or just a meditation together with the sound of the floating river or even some cuddles with your love.

Namaste Yana Dakota

They say that it's the journey, not the destination... So why not have fun while you get there? And bring along another 4 friends while you are at that!
Mariner's Lustful Speed boat comes packed with +1200 animations. But I thought we could add some more, so I integrated the menu with the Underwater sex ones...because I can!
Speedboat is fully drivable and include some sounds!

What is orb? Orb is a webtop operating system. This means, it's like having a working windows desktop computer, but in a browser window. WHY DOES IT MATTER? Well, imagine your avatar has a tablet in their hand, or cell phone, or a laptop. Now imagine your avatar can zoom in on the screen AND RUN REAL WORLD APPS and save data. Example: Your avatar could have a tablet in their hand that is running firestorm they are using to control another avatar. o.O You get it? Not only that, but this webtop computer is super fast and super responsive (no lag or delay at all). All you do is go here: https://gitlab.com/hsleisink/orb and download the latest release of orb to your linux machine, then gunzip it, then tar -xf. Then take the folder structure to your webroot. THIS WILL GIVE EVERY USER ON YOUR GRID THE ABILITY TO HAVE INWORLD WORKING DEVICES. Many users can set up free accounts. What's more is that letters they type and so on will be saved in their instance protected by their user name and password. :) Pretty cool huhhh?

My latest and probably most difficult memorial build, not that it was hard to do, but that it is a memorial to my very first pet who was so loyal, loving and protective. Wolfie was truly my best friend and to this day I miss him. He was half great Dane and half Siberian Husky and looked very much like a Canadian Timberwolf, hence his name. He was the most adorable puppy and grew into a beautiful and amazing adult dog. His memory will be forever treasured by me, but building the memorial brought a few tears to my eyes, I loved my boy.

Tri Stone Smokey Quartz is one of the many rings you will find at Monentes Jewelry. I placed a few requests out this week, I will add more as time allows. Thank you for sending the IM with your requests. When I think back at all the requests I have had, two of my favorites was a request for a journal locket, and Veri's back necklace. Please don't be shy if you have a jewelry piece you would like to wear virtually please just ask, if free I would be happy to create it.
