Avedon Park is happy to announce that (after many noise complaints and much rowdy behavior) The Back Cat Radio Station has been moved to Avedon South! Come by and check out the new radio station and the new Good Sounds Music Park, a music festival ground that would make the folks at Woodstock blush. You can access the station and festival grounds by either TP or boat. Grab a free radio at the radio station and swimming and overnight camping is welcome at the park. Avedon South is an adult region and Black Cat Radio is located next to "Nervous Charlie's" 24 Hr Fireworks and Liquor Store. Find out why Black Cat Radio offers you the best music in the metaverse!

Cocky Clocks
This first set includes dark and light models. In addition to the clock hands moving, a certain *ahem* something ticks away the time for you. Click to adjust the time difference and try to enjoy, just not too much.

Additional cocky clocks are on their way, just need a bit of time to finish them up.

Pickup is at the OSW Exclusive gift area, located below. If you have issues arriving there directly, you can use the OSW door to your left once arriving in the subway to access the exclusive area.

It has come to my attention that as of late, the metaverse is just packed with more and more people. Everywhere I go, I meet people. It's getting hard to find an empty sim anymore. People are packed into dance parties like beans stuffed in a fat burrito, so tightly you can barely move for all the lag. Everywhere you look more and more people are signing up every day. The numbers show it, and numbers don't lie. The reason for this is very simple. People are tired of paying for secondLife now that you can get the same quality or better here. People are tired of advertising sign packed regions of secondLife and come here initially as a camping trip, only deciding to build a cabin and live by the lake. It's amazing! Everywhere you look new people. I bet every time I go out I make new friends and meet new peoople! :)

I'll be performing LIVE at Black Sun today!
Come over to Kitely & join us for some fun!
WHEN: 3:00pm OST (opensim time)
WHERE: BLACK SUN
WHAT: LIVE SINGER

I left the confines of my grubby room of questionable privacy. The desert called to me, so I went. The further away I strolled revealed more signs of life...but I question the variety thereof.

The hills have eyes...

-- Heinrich Heine

I used to regularly post a list of recent helpers (and also promoted their regions). I haven't been doing that for a month or more. I'm going to start doing those acknowledgements again, for people whose help I can easily track -- people responding to posted requests.

Unfortunately. much of the help is being done in group chat. You know, group chat, where the comments scroll away out of sight, much like the front page box -- a problem this group, with posts, was supposed to cure.

What do posts have that chat doesn't? Threaded conversations. Conversations anyone can read, follow, and easily understand, and benefit from, at any time. Chat is just one endless stream. I just can't read all that to make out who all is being helpful.

I'm not quite sure yet what to say about why people are using chat instead of posting. It seems to be a way for people, who are largely non-helpers, to engage the small group of helpers more quickly. However, overall, I think it's detrimental to the group.

What would really be helpful is if people responded to requests made in chat by saying "please post that in the group." However, I'm bemused, and resigned to the group doing what it does, regardless of the original purpose and process of requesting and getting help.

(2/2) ...not enough skins in the previous post? Oh well, here another 2 styles in 16 additional tones. As well as 5 full fatpacks of body hair!
Bear in mind it's in a new location (since I plane to bring some more items on this theme): hop://playground.darkheartsos.com:8002/Boutiques%20NE/85/2...

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night...

After spending most of the day working with it, we won't be doing the Dreamgrid Smart Start after all.

After crashing repeatedly with three different versions of Firestorm, and finding with no Smart Start the crashes ended - as well as the very large and heavy regions we have not loading as they need to -- it's just not working for us. It's a great concept, however. With a pretty powerful dedicated 64 gig Server we should be okay.

I think this works well for some grids and not for others, depending on what has to be loaded in etc etc.

Many thanks to Mistress Delgado for all her advice and help trying this out! :)

Welcome to Port Arcadia in the Avedon South Region. Arcadia is a festive little gypsy port in the waters of Oceana. Much to explore! There is ample open water for boating, plenty of beautiful photo spots or just enjoy some horseback riding. We are extra proud to be the home of Black Cat Radio, the best music provider across the metaverse! Come by and grab a free radio and check out their festival grounds! Avedon South is an Adult region. Please join our group and be sure to READ our simple rules to help you enjoy your adventure.

It has been 8 days since the Tenth Dimension Grid was born and became a world within the Metaverse made up of many diverse and beautiful galaxies we call the Hypergrid.
Hammers have been banging the nails are flying and progress is being made on the grid. The two shopping regions are still under construction. I have most of my inventory for my shop rezzed and am now in the process of sorting it all out...a big job. I didn't realize I had made so MUCH STUFF! :) If you see something you like and it isn't set for sale $0 yet, let me know so I can be sure you get it.

The region called The Tenth Dimension Project (not listed here yet) can be accessed through our portals if you want to learn more about the project I have spent the last 5 or 6 years researching and dreaming of. The region is divided into 10 parcels, with a platform in the sky above Imagine 6- Space exploration as this one will require both ground and sky and different environment settings. Some of the parcels already have the EEP made and applied, so please enable your settings to see how that "world's" atmosphere may look, (it could change as I go along). On each parcel, I have put out an Info board that shows 2 possible timelines for each parcel.
In the Tenth Dimension, there could be an infinite number of timelines and possibilities so I have narrowed it down to 2, A or B as these possibilities appeal to me and will challenge my abilities. I have many projects going on all the time as it is my nature and I have so many different interests, so this is a long-term project that will at times progress rather quickly and will also be slow to completion.
I welcome anyone to visit and check out the progress and have a nice chat if you wish if I am around. If you have any ideas or suggestions, I would love to hear them.
While you are here, check out the other regions. We are small but have lots to explore, especially in the Land Of Xzar, so take your time and have fun. See you soon!
PS Are you looking for a vacation retreat or a honeymoon adventure? Lots of places in Land Of Xzar to stay. A castle? There are a few. A large Manor on a farm? A small cottage in the forest or the mountains? A beach hut? A beautiful Moracan-styled hotel or the 1960s-style motel down the street offers two very different experiences. See me for more info.
