Hello Adachi Friends!
Please, join us at the CopyKat Grid Tribute Club. It's a place for old friends of the CopyKat Grid and new friends of the CopyKat Collective to gather, hang-out and dance. The Club is an entirely new build with a design that evokes the look of Adachi. It even includes some items directly from the Adachi dance club. (Yes, pot dealer Mike is here.) Be sure to visit the new pavilion in the Collective Park with storyboards that tell the tale of Oni and the beginning of Adachi in 2008.

The CopyKat Collective is group of former owners of CopyKat Grid shops, clubs and hang-outs. Collective members are located all over OS. (We are "Thinking Beyond The Grid"). Visit us using the Collective Teleport found on the Collective Central region and at each member's location.

Google Bard Hallucinates About Xinashi

Prompt: Write a post for the web site OpenSimWorld about the Xinashi region on Friends Grid, highlighting the outfit shop "oh HELLO"

Xinashi: A Region of Beauty and Fashion
The Xinashi region on Friends Grid is a stunning and vibrant region with a lot to offer visitors. From its beautiful scenery to its unique shops [there is only one shop] and attractions [yes, there are many], there is something for everyone in Xinashi. [No. There is nothing for my mother at Xinashi. Or my dog].

One of the highlights of Xinashi is the outfit shop "oh HELLO". This shop is owned and operated by the talented designer and fashionista, oh HELLO! [Ha. Ha ha ha. No. The shop is owned by me, and my name is not oh HELLO, or even Nicoh HELLO].

Oh HELLO! is known for her unique and eye-catching designs, which are sure to turn heads wherever you go. [Heads are turning in search of this imaginary person "oh HELLO."]

At oh HELLO!, you can find a wide variety of outfits for any occasion. Whether you're looking for something special for a night out or a new outfit for work, oh HELLO! has something to suit your needs. [I suppose].

The shop also offers a wide range of accessories, including shoes, jewelry, and hats. [One hat. One. Only one outfit includes a hat. But yes, each outfit includes jewelry and shoes. Also hair! But, mostly, not hats]. This makes it easy to complete your look and put together the perfect outfit from head to toe. [Fatpacks. It doesn't mention fatpacks!]

If you're looking for a truly unique shopping experience, be sure to check out oh HELLO! in Xinashi. Oh HELLO! is passionate about fashion and helping her customers look their best. [She would be if she existed]. She is always happy to offer advice and help you find the perfect outfit for your individual style. [OK, I'm going to search now for this wonderful woman oh HELLO. I could use her help at the shop].

In addition to oh HELLO!, Xinashi also has a number of other shops [no it doesn't] and attractions [yes it does] that are worth checking out [they are]. Be sure to visit the Xinashi Temple, a beautiful and serene place to relax and reflect. [We do have a Yoga Center. I guess I will have to rename it now. Damn you Google Bard. Damn you].

You can also find a variety of restaurants and cafes in Xinashi [no you can't], so you can grab a bite to eat or drink while you're exploring the region. [If you require food or drink to survive in Xinashi, you are going to die].

So if you're looking for a region that has something for everyone [except my mom], be sure to visit Xinashi on Friends Grid. With its stunning scenery, unique shops, and friendly people, Xinashi is sure to leave you with lasting memories.

[AI ain't ready for Xinashi baby. Ain't ready.]

ELVEN HUD version 20 released!!!
If you are an elf you need this hud! :) Recently updated, and many bug fixes.
The hud collapses to a small trifoil button which when clicked expands the buttons of the hud. What the buttons do:
1) Teleport - presents a menu to tp you to anyone in a sim.
2) Spy - presents you menu to zoom in on anyone on your sim.
3) Scrying - rezzes a green ball that you click. This ball has several menus. It is used for finding things. You click the ball and select the type of items you are looking for, such as agents, active, scripted prims, passive prims. Then it shows you a list of all such items near you. Then you click select and click an item in the menu. The ball shoots out a greenish stream of light to point to the item. Great for finding lost tiny things that you can't see.
4) Invisible - Turn off your ao and click invisible and you sink below the ground, seemingly disappearing from view. To return to view just click the round TRI-Foil button. Note clicking the round trifoil button ends most spells.
5) Sanctuary - This rezzes a lovely fantasy elven pavillion created by cat of alternate metaverse grid. Then... It tp's you to the top of your own ivory tower, giving you a view of the lands. To get rid of it when you're done, just click the trifoil button and the entire tower vanishes magically. You can also invite friends to sit at the top of the tower with you and contemplate the meaning of the forest. :)
6) Shield - This just rezzes a simple shield that will ask if it can attach to your avatar. To end this shield simply click the trifoil button. :)
7) Speed - This increases your walking, running, and flying speed by 3x the normal values. So you can zoom across your land at the speed of a wood elf. :) To stop and return to normal speed just click the speed button again. It will tell you in local chat your speed is returned to normal.
8) Attack - If you are on a land where you can rez, this will present a menu of people nearby. If you select a name, blue light will shoot from your hand and zoom to that person. The person will be caught up in a whirlwind of bluefire, and as they try to walk they will be lifted higher and higher off the sim. To end this magic effect just click the trifoil button.
~ Note ~ This is the only magic hud that is currently working due to recent changes in the scripting engine. I will go through the other huds eventually and update them to work again. Starting with the ones people request. Those huds are: wizard hud, witch hud, fairy hud, vampire hud.
Note: The radar hud and the multisim status reporter hud have been updated as of today to work with the current sim changes. All 3 huds ( elven hud, radar hud, and multisim status report hud ), are all available at wizardry.
Please enjoy and have fun.

DREAMGRID 5.497 IS OUT!!! :)
THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

Good morning all,

This morning I want to share a little insight to try and help your virtual life. My friend Linda had a very rough time recently and that breaks my heart. I want Linda and others enjoying their virtual time…. Not dealing with crashes….so I am going to offer some tips. This will be a long note…. But it is designed to help you enjoy your virtual life.

1. Understand that your virtual experience is composed of many factors including: Opensim, grid server, grid setup, region settings, parcel settings, your computer, your graphic card, your internet connection, your avi grid, your viewer, your viewer preferences, your clothing and or attachments and much more.
2. When there is an issue, I will often ask questions to help determine which variable might be affecting. Am I being defensive…. Noooo…… I am trying to be scientific and look past my own thoughts and biases to improve your virtual experience. When I ask many questions, it may seem like I am “grilling” you….. I apologize for that….I am simply trying to get enough details so I can make your virtual life better. I never try to put all blame on individual….it is shared between myself and individual. I do my best to try to make sure my side of things is correct.
3. There are two different types of crashes: Regular Crash and bug splat.
Bug splat - you receive the infamous bug splat message afterwards. This crash is caused by viewer issue 95% of the time. Things that can cause this: Cache, distance, quality and much more. The higher your quality and distance, the greater the chance of crash. In addition, many times mesh objects can also cause this. The solution…….. thoroughly clean cache like this:




Regular Crashes- this last Sunday we experienced a region crash. These are fairly rare and I am working to get answers and provide a stable environment. In this situation, everyone in a region crashes at once and there is no bug splat. I am terribly sorry and embarrassed for the crash yesterday! We will make things better! Will things be perfect, nooooo, this is Opensim. But I am committed to providing an exceptional stable infrastructure .

It appears that the crash Sunday was caused by a corrupt object (sailboat) being rezzed in our rezz zone. Innocent intentions, but it shut down the region for a few minutes.

4. Cross Grid- I made a decision that people can live here regardless of whether or not they have a friends grid avi. I did that because I do not want to play dictator and order people to have friends grid avi….even though I know it would help some issues.

I want to share a recent story that will help you understand how crazy cross grid can be. Serina and I went shopping at Lunaria on Wolf territory. The experience was the worst experience ever in Opensim. We had trouble moving…. The lag was ungodly. This was not my first time with a bad experience at Wolf.

I sent my friend Luna Lunaria a note…. Letting her know I wanted to be a customer but could not get around her region. Luna was horrified…. But also very supportive of Wolf territory extremely high speed. She told me she has never had issues like I described.

To her credit, Luna made a friends-grid account and then tried to visit Wolf territories. She could not move because the lag was sooooo bad. Wolf territory and ourselves are presently working on this issue. So far it appears to be in Wolfs settings.

I share this story with you all so you understand the complexity of cross grid. In this situation, our Avis worked fine on many other grids…..but not on that.

Cross grid could possibly be making your virtual life more complicated. Realize that with Cross grid, all your data has to be processed through two totally separate systems every time you try to even come to friends-grid.

Am I blaming all your troubles on Cross grid…..Nooooooo. However, it is a variable that must be considered.

In the example I shared, technically I was able to go to lunaria at Wolf territory ….so it is not that I was banned. My experience was awful……but my friend Luna helped prove the situation by making a friends-grid avi. Wolf territories and friends-grid are simply not communicating as well as they should….making a negative experience if I visit there. This same issue can happen any day with any grid; just realize when your avi is not from our own grid; it is having to go through two systems….and some days there will be issues. I know our communication with osg is not perfect….but all I can do is fix my side. I have no control over what OSG does or does not do.

5. I ask you all to clean cache, consider system, look at avi, and preferences; but please realize I am trying to do a bit also. These things take time and money….but I am committed to providing the best virtual experience. I say this not to make anyone feel bad, but so you understand.
Friends-grid has always had a powerful dedicated server, but last month I added a second one . Our first server was much stronger than most in Opensim …and now we have the second in place. The speeds I have noticed on grid have been stupid fast since adding second server.

Friends-grid has a system of triple back ups in place….. and these backs are done every hour. This is an extremely detailed security system….but it is in place for you….and your virtual experience.

6. Haters - I am fully aware that there are people who hate me personally and want nothing else other than to see me fail and friends-grid fail. I try to not be over paranoid, but I also try to be aware. Sometimes the issues that you see or feel may be coming from others, intentionally or unintentionally. We will constantly monitor.


In closing, I could easily add 1,000 or 10,000 sims overnight like some others have; but my goal is on the quality of your virtual experience, not how many sims I own.

I want to make this an amazing experience for YOU!
