OSG is back on line!
It's running on a new database, the migration was successful.
It also resumed the ingestion of assets of the old asset server.

Arcadia Shop presents: The Lazy Stream.
As some of you may know, I've the kind of personality that enjoys social contact but it takes a huge deal of energy to do so, leaving me happy but completely exhausted. In other words I'm an introvert.
Of course, I'm not the only one! There's many of us around and for you, dear introvert I came up with The Lazy Stream.
Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday at 5 PM Grid time I'll live mix a style of music.
Ballad Monday: only ballads, slow, romantic songs.
Tuesday: It can be either rock and rock & roll or funky / jazzy + some dance.
Wednesday: I'll mix either slow pop or dance oldies or reggae.
Thursday: dance or EDM or fast oldies.
Saturday: trance caturday.
This program will vary a bit every week and will be played at the hidden disco at my store so you can come to dance...
BUT!
You can also access the stream directly from your web browser: http://207.244.232.104:7950/stream so you can listen to the music, very away from those pesky social interactions.
You can chair dance, you can be lazy: hence The Lazy Stream.
Some considerations:
I'm mixing live so errors can and will happen.
The Lazy Stream lasts one hour only from 5 PM to 6 PM grid time, I don't want to monopolize people's time.
It always ends with one specific outro song, if you hear that song you'll know the stream is ending.
And finally the link above exists only when I'm streaming, otherwise nothing will come up if you click on it.
I may add a reminder at the events part of the day's style but I won't spam you on the main time line, perhaps once a week I'll present you the weekly program, but that's it, I dislike the permanent event spam, so ... I won't do it myself!
Wish me luck, and I hope that you like the music I'll play.
Oh, today's is Dance Thursday.

Data transfer status.
Do you remember a post I made some time ago, about assets missing due a day transfer?
Let me tell you the full story because I got a post that's a bit too angry and a bit too misinformed for my taste.
Originally OSG was mostly on a datacentre on Texas, at first it was good, but it got progressively more and more inadequate for the grid, do you remember two years ago that we had a weekly outage? Or sudden grid downs that used to last 24 hours?
It was time to move the whole grid to new pastures and they did! The total data was transferred to a better datacetre, the transference was brutal though, we're talking about millions upon millions of tiny files, it took months to transfer all that and they managed to do it with the grid running. Of course there was side effects, slowness to rez, extended times to see the textures appear, etc. A small price to pay compared to the alternative: shut down the grid for a couple of months.
Some days ago I was told the current status of the last server move, the one with oldest assets, most notably 1+ year old textures and notecards.
The good news: the transfer is done, it took about a month.
I was told not once, not twice but several times: No data was lost.
"So where are my textures?"
This is the current situation: While the data is already transferred it's the equivalent of moving, we have all the boxes into the new house, now it's time to unbox and arrange our stuff in the empty space.
That last server had about 168 million assets.
The program that the guys wrote specifically to ingest the data into the new server process about 1.6 million assets per day, plus they're verifying the integrity of each bit (thanks to that they had corrected/recover 4854 assets so far), the whole process assuming 1.3 million assets processed and ingested per day will take between 90 to 120 days from today.
I asked if this will cause lag or poor performance: No, this process happens on a separate server, and it's independent of the rest of the grid, so it won't impact performance.
No data has been lost, but many is still in the box, waiting to be put in the proper place.
Is it a bummer? of course it is, all my profile pictures (all of them are 1+ year old) are gone, white. I won't delete them because they will be back.
Finally this process is progressive, it means that as the data gets processed it becomes available, my pic today is white but tomorrow may be back, as it reaches its's turn in the queue.
So don't despair, we're in the final stretch.

Bug Fix: Arcadia's Weather System
I did an oopsie. Thanks Ernest for the heads up, I've found an error in the script of the weather system, both master EEP and non EEP versions. While they will work in y-engine they won't at all in x-engine so I fix them, the new version is at the shop and the mini shop of Wright Plaza, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Aaack.-

New Release: Arcadia's Timer.
I made this based on a suggestion (thanks Ernest!).
It's a simple timer that will do what any kitchen timer does, you setup the time (up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) and it will count back to zero, when it reaches zero it will sound an alarm and that's it!
The object itself is a single, very light mesh so you can resize it to either put it in a tennis court or your fridge =D
It can be set to Owner only operation, group or everyone.
Of course the textures are inside for your customization needs.
Happy Tuesday!

New Release: Arcadia's Xmas Candles
This is a small decoration for your Xmas table, a nice place with candles, hollow leaves and berries and a festive bow. It's meant to be a simple decoration that cast a nice and warm light when you click on it.
Enjoy my last xmas object of the year and happy Thursday!

As you may know OSG is moving their asset infrastructure to a new and more reliable datacenter. To do so it was necessary to copy a massive amount of data from the old servers to the new ones, this process begun months ago and it's almost done.
We're at the last leg now! Now they're transferring old assets and for a month you will notice (or not) that assets (notably notecards and old textures) won't be available in your inventory.
This is a transient thing, do NOT trash those, just wait for a month, they'll be accessible again.
In other words: old assets in your inventory that you haven't open in years won't be available for a month or so.
This will NOT affect whatever is rezzed on your sims.

New Release (Kinda): Arcadia's Santa's Outfit
Yep, because you need a Santa's outfit and you know it!
This is a complete outfit for your avatar and a new object comes with it: the Santa's Hat. Originally it was a prim hat that wasn't up to today's standards so I made a nicer mesh one, it's a single object attached to the skull so you can resize it to fit your head perfectly, although some hair editing may be necessary to look fantastic.
You can find the hat (and the outfit) at the first floor (you guys in USA will call it second floor) at the shop.
Happy Saturday!

New release: Arcadia's Spitoon.
A spitoon is a vase, normally made of metal used in bars and public places where chewing tobacco was a thing. It was meant for users of the tobacco to spit in the used thing, gross don't even begin to describe it.
My version is a beaten, old copper one you can rez as a joke, click on it to hear a cartoonish sound of a spit pinging the metal vase =D
Nothing says Xmas like a run down copper vase full of spit, yep yep.
Happy Sunday!

New release: Arcadia's French Beret.
This is a mini release, I saw some days ago someone desperate to find french berets without any luck so I made one.
It's a simple, non rigged mesh so you can resize it as you want to fit your avatar properly, it comes in six colours including white so you can tint it to match your outfit.
Also as always the textures are in each beret to improve HG compatibility.

New Release: Arcadia's Panda Hoodie.
This took me a while to make, it's a release for girls: a Panda Hoodie.
It comes in two versions: with the hoodie and down.
It comes in three models: Flat chested, regular chest and big breasts.
But it's also fitted mesh so it will vary according to your shape sliders too.
It comes for two kind of avatars: System avatar and Ruth 2 v.4.
While I don't support athena I've seen it wore and it fits too, but I can't guarantee a perfect match.
It includes all the textures for the hoodie and the alpha layer inside each hoodie object.
Enjoy!

New release: Arcadia's Xmas Lights.
This is a simple add on for your existing christmas trees, a set of lights you can easily resize to adapt to any cone tree that features several lights mode, just rez, position and click for lightning options.
The script is super light and won't lag your sim at all.
The picture shows Encantada's White Pine Snowy and two sets of my lights on it.
The tree is not included in the box.

Product Update: Arcadia's Weather System
After some script-fu, careful EEP new presets and particle magic I added a "Snow" function to the beloved weather clouds.
Now you can choose either a rain + thunder or a snow fall.
It comes in EEP and non EEP versions for if you want to rez more than one system in a sim and have just one controlling the parcel's sky.
If you have already a weather system set up, just edit it, set the transparency to zero (even if it says zero), this will force the slave clouds to become visible, then edit linked on , select the old master cloud and unlink it, rez the new master cloud, select the slave clouds and link them to the new master and you're done!
tl;dr: just replace the old master cloud with the new one and you will be ok as the slave clouds didn't change and they're compatible with the new script.
Let it snow let it snow let it snow =D

Product Update: Arcadia's Simulator Statistics Indicator
In my permanent quest for relevant information I've noticed that my Statistics Indicator last line, Time Dilation, didn't really show the relevant number, it was stuck on 1.0 (no time dilation) permanently, so I've changed that last line for something more relevant, the physics engine type (ODE, Bullet, ubODE) and the script engine type (X-Engine or Y-Engine).
The upgraded indicator is at the first floor (or second floor for you in the US) of my main shop.
Happy Monday!

New Release: Arcadia's Disco Lights
I have something for your dancing place today, it's a ring frame with disco lights and lasers.
It features custom animations (the lights/lasers are animesh) for smooth movements, the lasers can emit red, blue and a multicolour spread type of rays, and the whole ring can rotate too, so you can make movement patterns that matches your music.
Please read the manual this object requires your sim to be able to run the function osMessageObject.

Yep, the shop will be annoyingly halloweeny until November the 1st.
If you feel unsafe just read the posters and set the environment to Midday, that usually makes things better...
...usually.
New Release: Arcadia's Zombie.
Because I -had- to make something for this coming Halloween, I decided to make a zombie.
It comes in three flavours:
1. Avatar: You can wear this one, it includes a moan box to randomly moan and groan and an AO (by lickx) with custom animations: a walk, two stands, a sit and a sit on ground.
2. NPC: The notecard with a moaning zombie, it also includes a basic walker but if you want to make it do advanced stuff, I recommend you to use Satyr's ActiveNPCs NPC Controller (https://opensimworld.com/library?view=4).
3. Animesh: Just rez these animated beauties to decorate your sim.
They are all different implementations of my mesh, animations and sounds, I just did the scripting work for you for the different uses. =)
Inside the folder you will find 4 boxes, one for the Avatar, one for the NPC, one for the Animesh and one containing all the textures, animations and sounds for your customization purposes.

New release: Arcadia's Gramophone
I made a very well preserved gramophone for your house, a great decoration that will dress your living space.
But hey, you know me, I can't do a static object, so I also scripted it so when you click on it it winds up and plays "Volver" (super famous Argentina tango) by Carlos Gardel (the most famous tango singer in Argentina and may be the world), sung circa 1935, so it's very much period correct.
Of course I'm including all the textures inside the object to improve the compatibility with HG.
You can find my gramophone at the main shop or the mini shop at Wright Plaza in OSG.

New Release: Arcadia's Tiki gazebo.
Phew!
This one was a LONG project that started before my hard drive died.
It features a small and cozy gazebo for your beach setup, it seats four in solo poses or couple poses using SFPoser.
It took me a long while as i made all ~50 poses myself, so each one is unique for you.
It also features a small source of light in the form of candles you can turn on and off in the OPTIONS menu.
Please read the manual for more details.

Did you know?
I ran out of space!
I remember when I decided to use the old triangular building for my shop I thought "How in the world will I fill this monster?" Welp, by making stuff for years! That's how.
So, I decided to move some stuff to the demo rezzers, all my vehicles. That would free some space. I made an hangar for it, big enough to have all the vehicles inside and have some spare room for future ones too!
Then I thought "I would like it to have doors, gigantic gates because all the hangars I've saw so far don't have any doors"; I made a 4 pane sliding doors that took me for ever to script to make it work regardless if you resize or reposition the whole building.
Then I decided to add a small door too, for when you want to enter and not open the whole thing, but also I wanted to have the access restricted if needed: for the owner, the group or just open to everyone, done! it only took the life of the last 3 neurones I had yay!
Add some automatic lightning spent 4 days baking textures and let's go, I have an hangar now.
Finally I thought "Hey, this looks pretty, I need to share it!" , so...
New Release: Arcadia's Hangar.
It has all what I said above so there's no much description I can add here LOL, that's what happens when I write something before my coffee.

New release: Arcadia's Moon Lamp
I made these fantasy lamps to replace the prim ones at my shop, originally made of prims they were 14 prim monsters... each!
But that belongs to the past, the new moon lamp is just one prim per unit.
This carefully crafted lamp features a lot of metal work curated in it's normal maps so ALM enabled is recommended to appreciate it better (preferences, tab Graphics, click on Advanced Lighting Model).
It features a reflector in the shape of a moon, convex mirrors to spread a very warm light that will decorate your setup. It comes in two version, a floor one and a ceiling one, both works with a master/slave system, so you need one script to control all the linked lamps, please read the manual to learn how to set them up.

Did you know?
One of the toys I've saw in SL years and years ago was a tiny cat with a particle head, because it's a particle it's normal is perpendicular to your camera, regardless it's position or in other word: it looks at you always.
I loved that little thing and it was something I needed to recreate for us in open grid.
Here's my black cat, he looks at you intently.... always =D
But also he meows when you click on it!
Happy Monday!

Product Update: Arcadia's Garden Lamp
Ah yes, a little classic lamp to illuminate paths, garden features and other goodies at night, this is a hallmark of well kept backyards!
This is a complete revamp of my old garden lamp, the new model is a reworked very light mesh, with new textures and a single prim per lamp instead of two.
Also it works with a master/slave system like my other lamps now, so one script will control all the lamps you want.
It comes in two colours, brown and green.

New Release: Arcadia's Steampunk Light Post
This time I bring you a street lamp that will look great in your victorian / steampunk sim.
It's an incandescent gas lamp, in fact when it's on you can hear the hissing natural gas running. The flame heats the ceramic net (supported by a tungsten-nickel substrate) making it glow several orders of magnitude brighter than any regular flame, casting a warm light for the streets of your sim.
(Believe it or not, it's based on a very real technology).
It's two prims and one script, the script can control as many lamps as you want so it won't lag you, set it up is really simple but please read the manual!
And of course, all the textures are included in the object.
Happy Thursday!

New release: Arcadia's Office Clock.
Inspired in a 70's clock my aunt had, the thing wasn't a quartz clock but an electric one! Instead of relying on the vibration of a quartz crystal to track the time, this little thing used a tiny electric motor (plugged to the wall, no batteries for you) that spin at the proper speed to (hopefully) move the hands at the proper speed to track time. It wasn't enough to plug the clock, you needed to spin a tiny knob on the back to move the flywheel and jumpstart the clock as the motor didn't have the power to move the cogwheels from zero.
My version starts by itself when rezzed and it doesn't need to be plugged to the wall!
But my version has a twist: You can add a label to it, when you click on it you not only can adjust it's time, you can also add text for if you have several rezzed and need to quickly identify which location the clock is showing.
Of course I'm including all the textures inside the object for enhancing HG compatibility.

New Release: Arcadia's Weather System
It's been a while heh.
Some weather change gives a lot of life to your sim, either a forest, a beach or a city, rain will infuse extra charm to your daily activities.
With that in mind let me present you my weather system, it's a controller of slave clouds that will emit rain particles, rain sounds and thunder sounds. But that's nothing new right?
My version also features up to two automatic rains per day, you set the time of the day and it will rain at those times for one hour. Nice huh?
Oh? Not enough? what if I told you it will also change your sky settings to overcast and cloudy while it's raining? Yep it does, assuming you have permissions to change the EEEP settings of your parcel it will make it overcast while raining and will return to your normal EEEP setting when stops.
Don't want to get cloudy? no problem! I also include a version that won't change your sky hehe.
Also, it features an access list, so either anyone or just a selected few will be able to operate the system.
Finally, please read the manual, I explain everything in detail, including the setup of the system.
Happy Friday! (yay Friday)

New Release: Arcadia's Chest.
I have already a chest in the shop, I never featured here because it was one of the first objects I made for Open Grid and it's primitive, it looks ok but it's cumbersome as it's two separate objects and that's unacceptably uncomfortable.
So I decided to make a new one, more ornate and slightly worn by time. It will match a medieval sim or a house that holds antiques.
You can open and close it and store small objects inside... and avatars!
Yep, this is an implementation of SFPoser, it's all controlled by it, so click and go to Options to open and close the chest but also to RLV capture an avatar and make it stay inside the chest for a while.
It features custom sounds, poses, textures and mesh and as always you can find all the textures stored in the contents tab of the lid.
Happy Tuesday!

All good things...
One day in 2019 I packed my stuff, got my dog, put it all on my bike and went to spend the summer in another country. That was my routine after all. I took my trusty laptop, an old mac that was barely enough to browse internet and may be log in world for a couple of minutes.
I spent a great month and then corona happened.
Long story short: I got stuck in that country, that's ok though, as long as I have internet I don't have to be in a specific physical place so I could cope, in time I just decided to live permanently here.
Then about a month and a half ago my hard disk of my old laptop isekai'd itself, my main rig is still in another country and suddenly I was data-less. Since this disk was meant to just handle light tasks it never stood a chance against real production work.
That set me back immensely, and that's the reason why I haven't been able to produce any new object in two months, so in the meantime I've been showcasing you the stuff I've made until that point in time.
But, I've a finite amount of stuff to show you! Of course I've more in the shop, did you know I have a cook hat, a drunken bat, a full bathroom set; did you know you can drink coffee at the top of the shop or eat cake at the tower?; did you know every night I mix music but I don't tell anyone?
But, I don't think what I have left is interesting enough so my daily articles ends today, but fret not! The reconstruction of my data is nearly complete so from this point on I'll publish an article when I release a new product because... I can make new products again! Yay me.
So cheers and thank you so much all the people who consistently liked my articles and commented on them, thank you for the visiting and for enjoying the toys I make for this adult playground we enjoy every day.
See you on my next release.

After the first mesh hands appeared, I thought they were beautiful but exceedingly heavy (geometry and texture wise), so I challenged myself to make a hand that was as light as possible.
I started with a ruth hand, and added geometry only where I thought it was absolutely necessary. The result was this pair of gloves.
They are 20% more complex than the default ruth hand, they are fitted mesh, not bento and it goes well with formal outfits, it's a nice accessory for your gala suit =)

Years ago, when I discovered Second Life the thing that enchanted me the most was that we could fly! A couple of years later I found a freebie jetpack, made by the Intel people and while I loved it it didn't quite fit my avatar, of course it was no mod.
I made a pair of wings, pure prim at first and afterwards I included sculpts, I made sure they fit my avatar perfectly hehe.
The wings I offer at the shop are the very wings I made in Second Life, more than 14 years ago. They are scripted (script which was updated several times), they deploy when you fly, you have four colour presets, a HUD and some effects like particles and glow.
Oh, and you can resize them too, they won't break =D

The XVII century bubonic plague that wiped 1/3 of the population of Europe was a horrendous time for doctors, who at the time believed in the miasma theory: They thought that the air contained some substance that carried diseases.
To prevent contagium they used these long beaked masks, it's purpose was to isolate the doctor from the miasma and to help with the odour from the bodies he had to work with, for that reason they used the beak to store aromatic herbs, some sort of Vic vapour rub, nightmare version.
Of course in time the masks lost part of it's dark reputation and today is part of costumes and alternative fashions.
My mask is a single mesh piece, not rigged, so you can resize it to adapt it perfectly to your own avatar. (Top hat not included, that one comes with the Monowheel, so get that if you want to wear the combo in the picture).

There's a small object that will make the life of the rope bunnies and bondage enthusiasts easier: The Wall Ring.
It's a tiny object that you can rez everywhere to attach the lockguard chains system, the ring itself is unscripted, light and a single piece of mesh so you can resize it at your convenience.
It can be place everywhere and it's a convenient anchor point for leashes, ropes and other particles.
Happy Monday!

One of my first attempts at fitted mesh was a simple top for girls, it does work pretty well adapting itself to different bodies although results varies wildly, it's amazing how difficult can be to make a single piece of clothes that will adapt to every body without crazy deformations.
This top is for standard avatars, it won't work for mesh bodies (but mesh avatars have this kind of top available basically everywhere so you won't miss anything), it comes in five colour and white to tint it to perfectly adapt it to your current outfit too.
It has hand crafted shadows and highlights that I also include in the box, so if you have some experience with photoshop or gimp you can make your own patterns for it, it's all about options =).

Halls are tricky, those little spaces (or big ones) that connects a multitude of living spaces houses, which only function is to redirect transit. Do you fill it with frames and little tables?
Will you -ever- sit on those little armchairs?
Well I'm of the opinion that you can fill those spaces easily... with light! Lightning is paramount and so let me show you my art deco hall light.
It's fully automatic and it comes with two different textures, a brand new looking one, for a pristine presentation and a worn out one for a moody ambient. You rez it and forget, it casts a projector light so the ceiling won't be illuminated and since it's one single mesh object you can resize it at your convenience, it's all about options.
Happy Saturday! (Caturday! (do you remember that?)).

I've a set of grand art deco lamps. Personally I believe that the style dress any house with an elegance that only the empire style can match (google it and fall in love with the empire style hehe).
My set comes in two versions, fully automatic to rez and forget and manual with options of different intensities and colours. It has two models, a wall mounted one inspired in art deco theatres and the ceiling mounted lamp inspired in grand train terminals.
Happy Friday (yay Friday!).

There's certain objects that as inconspicuous as they look they're actually so useful it's almost impossible to not have several copies of it around.
One of those was a fortunate accident, the round table. It was a small table I did out of necessity for a booth in an event, it was meant to be discarded... and turns out to have been one of the most popular objects I've ever made.
This is a single mesh object, so you can resize it at your convenience, it's unscripted (what do you expect a table to do lol), and there's nothing else to say about it and yet it fits most aesthetics and it's super useful to hold other decorations you may want to highlight.
Life gives surprises sometimes =)

Long ago I saw that there was a very healthy selection of beanie hats around but none with ears. Why this injustice?
Have in mind this was almost 10 years ago. So I made a quick one, I didn't think much about it until I realised it was a very popular item, way more popular that I thought it could be initially.
Given the acceptance I made a second box with included hair, so it was easier to wear in a hurry, although now with mesh hair that shouldn't be such an issue.
It's a single piece of mesh, non rigged so you can make it as small or big as you need, it's very low poly and you can't tint it to the colour you need, it also have a band you can tint of another colour for variety.

 | Jupiter Rowland At last, this place of legend has found its way to OSW. Seriously, go there. This isn't your typical "stuff I found on the Hypergrid" freebie mall. This is all original and very well-modelled, not to mention the wicked scripting in the items. Oh, and if you're a lady with a system body or Ruth2 v4, ... |
 | Frank Hurt Aaack’s creations are all-original, fully-legal, and incredibly detailed. Ranging from avatar accessories and furnishings to a variety of both historical as well as imaginative vehicles, there’s really no one way to define this store’s offerings but to call them “eclectic”.

I allow the latest and the version before of Firestorm, as well the latest release candidate/beta. If you upgrade it you'll be able to tp in without issues. But if for some reason you don't want to just go to Wright Plaza where you can get the latest products I've made, although it's a smaller selection.
