Symphony Vive has a wonderful new artwork in the her gallery at the Art Factory, but it needs a title, any suggestions? So far we have:

Hirst Style 'The voyage of fragility in a fleeting moment of a gossamer existence'
Emin Style 'I thought you loved me, but it was never real'
Pollock Style 'Boat and Butterfly wings No. 23'
Dali 'Art Factory Dream - Woman finds Butterfly wings in place of sails'

Little hacker bastard. Look how big the story is. You can hack as much as you want. It doesn't change the story. You are only momentary and nothing you do as a hacker makes you bigger. You are nothing, you have nothing, you will not have been in the end. How pathetic and pitiful. You think what you do is important and right. But you are alone, frustrated, and your hacking successes are those pathetic self-affirmations that don't really satisfy you. You want a world where you are respected. But you are not able to find your way in this world. Not able to approach people and see and accept the positive. To be or not to be, that is the question. In the end it was light or nothing. It's up to you. The negative cannot win. The + always flows to the - and no hacker turns it around. Hackers are mostly children of drug parents or rich people who are socially unfit. So sad, OK smart kids wake up sometime and make something of their life. Failures give up and their characters become impoverished. They fight hard for recognition in an environment where everyone is abusing everyone else to achieve the same illusion. In principle intelligent .... but what use is it if you are socially unfit? There are people who have created positive things, whose name will survive. Your miserable life and the attempts to enrich yourself ...... Your demise will not be noticed.

4 Fun and Active Years of the Dinkies!

On 2nd November, we will celebrate five wonderful years since the Dinkies came to life in OpenSim at the Funsize Dinkies World Resort!

What an amazing journey it has been so far! Four years filled with fun, laughter, friendship, adventures, and so many beautiful memories. And, of course, many more wonderful years are still to come!

As most of you know, the Dinkies Resort has moved a couple of times over these past four years, always searching for the perfect place to call home.

And now, the Funsize Dinkies have finally found their special home on LinkUp Grid, where many Dinkies have already been enjoying their wonderful lives since the grid first opened.

We are so happy to see our little community continue to grow, welcome new faces, make new friends, and create even more unforgettable memories together.
A huge thank-you to everyone who has been part of our journey over these four amazing years. Whether you have been with us since the very beginning or joined us along the way, you are all part of what makes the Funsize Dinkies World Resort such a special place!

Here’s to more fun, more adventures, more friendships, and many, many more happy years together on LinkUp Grid!
Once a Dinkie, always a Dinkie!

🎃 WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IS OPEN! 🎃
It’s Halloween time! Tired of all the TRICKS this year? Fred thought it was time for a little TREAT!
How about 594 minutes — that’s 9.9 HOURS — of motion-capture animations?
Wednesday at Midnight is officially OPEN! While you’re exploring and hunting for Halloween gifts, there is something extra waiting for those clever enough to find it. CAN YOU FIND THE SECRET ANIMATION LOCATION?
Hidden somewhere inside Wednesday at Midnight is a special collection containing numerous animations prepared by Fred Beckhusen of Outworldz.
The original motion-capture data comes from the Carnegie Mellon University Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database. Fred converted the motion data into animations that can be used by OpenSim avatars.
And there’s more new DreamGrid technology behind this year’s hunt!
The Wednesday at Midnight hunt gifts were created and uploaded using Fred’s new DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader in DreamGrid.
Want to learn how to use the DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader yourself? Visit Outworldz and look in the right-hand column for Fred’s latest DreamGrid articles and documentation. https://outworldz.com/home.htm THE ANIMATIONS ARE FREE — PLEASE RESPECT THE LICENSE

Happy Haunting! 👻🎃 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight Huge Hug and Thank you to FRED~ He spent numerous hours to make this happen for all of us!

THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS DANCE CARD SYSTEM v2.0
"Conducted with Propriety"
A period ballroom dance card system for OpenSimulator
------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT IT IS
------------------------------------------------------------
Bring the elegance of a Regency assembly ball to your region. Ladies wear
a dainty dance card on the wrist, gentlemen carry a Pocket Program (HUD),
and an Assembly Rooms Board in the ballroom keeps the whole evening in
order - the programme of dances, who has engaged whom, and every rule of
proper ballroom etiquette.

Gentlemen touch a lady's wrist card to request a specific dance. The lady
receives a polite request and may Accept or Decline. The Master of
Ceremonies calls each dance from the board, announces the couples, and
privately reminds every dancer of their partner.

Find the scripts here: https://opensimworld.com/library?view=173

We have a new mapping system that's standalone. turning off map generation in opensim.ini and the new system runs outside of opensim and uses SixLabors.ImageSharp. This solves some GC issues i've noticed doesn't torque the opensim region server.

it's a relief map with height better represented than warp. here's a comparison. note that the region in the warp3d map is actually mostly grass not sand so warp3d is off a bit i suppose?

currently in dev i will be moving new mapping system to holoneon grid later today
