JOPENSIM/JOOMLA IS NOT DEAD!

Our new website looks pretty cool, please check it out.

www.myvirtualbeach.com

the website is running joomla 4 with compatible jopensim

Only thing is, I dont know how to turn xmlr groups back on in dreamgrid that was turned off, does anyone know how to fix that? We cant tell opensim to point to joomla otherwise group error pops up and no one can log into the grid.

Also, does anyone know how to update MYSQL in dreamgrid? I want to update to joomla 5 but MYSQL is outdated. I did look into Maria DB switch but we dont want to break it the way we were told to do it.

The goal is to get to joomla 6, but if things can't get update, I dont know what were going to do.

Expect a rich musical journey with rock anthems, romantic ballads, couples’ dance tunes, and high-energy dance tracks to get your heart racing.

Bring your friends, your dance shoes, and your love for great music. Let’s start the day with rhythm, connection, and pure virtual joy.

🤠 DJ Yana Dakota brings back the good old Country & Western days! 🎶

Howdy, country music lovers!

This Wednesday, October 28th, DJ Yana Dakota will be performing at NewLifeItaly Grid, PalmBeach, from 1 PM until 3 PM Grid Time.

Get ready for two wonderful hours of good old Country & Western music, featuring legendary artists such as Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, The Highwaymen and many more!

We're going back to the days when country music told real stories, when a guitar, a heartfelt voice and meaningful lyrics were all you needed to make a great song.

And NO, there won't be any Halloween tracks! We're already being bombarded with those everywhere. 😂

Instead, I'll be bringing you the real sound of classic Country & Western, filled with nostalgia, unforgettable songs and good old-fashioned country spirit.

So dust off those cowboy boots, grab your favourite hat and come join me for a little trip down memory lane!

Good music, good people, great times!

Samsara, The Beauty of Taking the Long Way

Sometimes the most beautiful places are the ones that visitors never get to see.

Samsara was never created to be explored in a hurry. Every winding path, every hidden corner, every quiet garden and peaceful resting place has its own story to tell. Some of the most beautiful spots are not marked on a map, nor will you discover them by simply teleporting from one destination to another.

They are waiting for those who take the time to wander.

I have always hoped that visitors would experience Samsara on foot, following its pathways, crossing its bridges, discovering little places they never knew existed. There is something special about turning a corner and finding an unexpected view, a peaceful sanctuary, or a small detail that was placed there with love and care.

During the time Samsara was under different management, certain areas became inaccessible because of strict access restrictions and a number of technical errors. Unfortunately, this meant that visitors were sometimes unable to explore parts of the region that were always meant to be enjoyed.

I am happy to say that these issues have now been resolved. Samsara is once again open for exploration, without those unnecessary restrictions standing in your way.

And so, I have one little request.

When you visit Samsara, please resist the temptation to use teleporters all the time. Take a walk instead. Follow a path simply because you are curious where it might lead. Stop for a moment, look around, listen to the surroundings and allow yourself to get a little lost.

You might discover something that has been there for years, patiently waiting to be noticed.

Samsara is more than a collection of beautiful buildings, gardens and landscapes. It is a place of memories, creativity, tranquility and countless hours of dedication. Every part of it carries something meaningful, including the wonderful creations left behind by those who are no longer with us.

Now that Samsara has returned home, I would love nothing more than to see people truly enjoying everything it has to offer.

There is no need to rush. There is no finish line.

Sometimes the most beautiful destination is the one you discover when you weren't looking for it.

Welcome back to Samsara, and please, take the scenic route.

With love,

Yana Dakota

Keeper of Samsara

SAMSARA BOAT TOURS ARE BACK!

I am very happy to announce that the boat tours at Samsara are fully operational again!

After restoring Samsara on Virtual Worlds Zone, I discovered that I had lost the original HUD used to create and record the waypoints for the boat tours. Without it, making new routes or correcting existing ones was practically impossible.

Rather than giving up, I decided to rebuild the system with the assistance of ChatGPT.

A completely new waypoint HUD was created, allowing me to record routes, set waypoints at every turn, adjust the cruising height and automatically generate the notecards needed by the boat controller.

The original boat controller, created by Clifford Hanger, was also modified and improved. We managed to resolve the problems with the automatic return system, allowing the boats to return instantly to their starting positions after completing their tours.

And the results are fantastic!

Both boat tours are now running beautifully, and the boats move even more smoothly than they did before. The turns are gentle, the routes are accurate, and everything works exactly as intended.

Visitors can once again enjoy a peaceful journey through the beautiful surroundings of Samsara, passing through its tranquil waterways, bamboo forests and Japanese inspired landscapes.

I am especially happy that another part of Samsara's original charm has been brought back to life.

My thanks to Clifford Hanger for creating the original boat controller, which provided the foundation for these improvements.

And yes, I am rather proud that I managed to get it all working again with a little determination, plenty of testing and some excellent assistance from ChatGPT!

The Samsara Boat Tours are officially back and ready for visitors.

Welcome aboard!
