Brands Hatch 2026: 100 Years of Racing – A century full of power, and we're celebrating it here on our authentic race track covering an area of ​​16 sims.

This year marks 100 years since the first wheels turned in anger at Brands Hatch.
Brands Hatch in Kent, England, began as a 1926 dirt track for motorcycles on farmland, evolving into a premier tarmac racing venue by 1950. Famous for the challenging Paddock Hill Bend, it hosted 12 British Grands Prix (1964–1986), iconic F1 moments, and today serves as a top venue for British Superbikes and Touring Cars under MotorSport Vision.

The 2.433 mi (3.916 km) "Grand Prix" layout we built inworld, this track has played host to several Formula One Grands Prix, including those with moments such as Jo Siffert's duel with Chris Amon in 1968 and 1992 World Driver's Champion Nigel Mansell's first win in 1985.
______________________________________________________

Brands Hatch 2026: 100 Jahre Rennsport – Ein Jahrhundert voller Power und das feiern wir hier auf unserer authentischen Rennstrecke auf einer Fläche von 16 sims.

Dieses Jahr jährt sich zum 100. Mal der Start der Rennstrecke in Brands Hatch.

Brands Hatch in Kent, England, begann 1926 als unbefestigte Motorradstrecke auf Ackerland und entwickelte sich bis 1950 zu einer der führenden Asphaltrennstrecken. Berühmt für die anspruchsvolle Paddock Hill Bend, war die Strecke Austragungsort von 12 britischen Grand Prix (1964–1986), legendären Formel-1-Momenten und dient heute als Top-Rennstrecke für britische Superbikes und Tourenwagen unter der Schirmherrschaft von MotorSport Vision.

Dieses Jahr jährt sich zum 100. Mal der Start der britischen Superbike- und Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft.

Die 3,916 km lange „Grand Prix“-Strecke, die wir in der virtuellen Welt nachgebaut haben, war bereits Schauplatz mehrerer Formel-1-Grand-Prix, darunter solcher mit unvergesslichen Momenten wie dem Duell zwischen Jo Siffert und Chris Amon im Jahr 1968 und dem ersten Sieg des Fahrerweltmeisters von 1992, Nigel Mansell, im Jahr 1985.

BATTLE STATIONS!!!!!

Tomorrow (Friday, Feb 27, 2026 — yes, the one after today unless you’ve invented time travel), from 12:30 SLT / 21:30 CET, we’re back at the Cantronian Archipelago’s Battle Sea — because nothing says “diplomacy” like a cannon battle over who gets to wield the broom on the mainmast. (Spoiler: Please don’t let the Celyddon Navy win. They’ll probably sweep with it… literally)

Show up at the dock a few minutes early (because being late means you get stuck with the ship that leaks more than your excuses to your boss), pick your crew, pick your rivals, and don’t stop laughing...

Even if you sink.
Especially if you sink.

I built a custom module to handle AI tactical assessments. It uses Ollama/qwen3:1.7b SLM but should work with any LLM/SLM with minor modification.. . provides three custom lsl scripting commands OllamaRequest, OllamaGet and OllamaCancel. It's better than using llHTTPRequest avoids throttling and hammering the server

a simple example:

[04:52] Object: System online. Touch to initialize tactical assessment.
[04:52] Object: SKYNET: {
"threat": "The terminal's display flickers with a message in a language I don't recognize, but the system is already responding to my commands.",
"logic": "The human's actions have triggered a cascade of automated responses, and the system is now operating beyond its programmed parameters, suggesting a potential breach or an unforeseen consequence of the AI's decision-making process."

⭐ Die Tweenster sind zurück – und die Style Rebels übernehmen die Bühne!

Frech, laut und voller Energie: Die Tweenster droppen 12 brandneue Outfits, die jedem kleinen Style Rebel das perfekte Upgrade verpassen. Farben, Muster, Attitüde – alles auf Maximum.

Diese Kollektion macht keine halben Sachen. Sie ist wild, mutig und genau das Richtige für Kids, die ihren eigenen Look feiern.

Jetzt im Shop – bereit für die nächste Style‑Rebel‑Runde.

Reborn und Waifu - neue Outfits zum verlieben

Reborn hat die Garderobe wieder einmal großzügig aufgefüllt: Acht neue Outfits sind eingezogen, und sechs davon stehen auch der Waifu so gut, dass sie vermutlich schon heimlich Selfies macht.

Die Auswahl reicht vom beinahe‑nicht‑vorhandenen Microbikini bis zum Abendkleid, das beim Betreten des Raums automatisch einen leichten Windstoß verlangt.

Kurz: Ein kleines Modespektakel für alle, die gern zwischen ‚frech‘ und ‚fabelhaft‘ wechseln.“

C'est le programme que vous propose Atlas. Vous ne serez plus jamais un terminal, mais un opérateur doté d'ubiquité, administrant des serveurs distants avec grâce et élégance, qu'ils soient dans votre garage ou de l'autre côté del'Atlantique (Le Pacifique, c'est possible aussi. Pour la Lune, il y aura une attente).

Notre sympathique équipe vous présentera les outils logiciels, vous aidera à les installer et à les exploiter à leur plein potentiel. Sessions distantes, mouvements de fichiers, bases de donées n'auront plus de secret pour vous. La ligne de commande ne sera plus votre ennemi, mais une arme redouable qui multipliera votre productivité par un facteur indécent.

Les atelier se déroulent en petits groupes sur atlasgrid.fr:8002:Atlas-Ecole les lundis à 21h30 heure française. L'usage de la voix est impérative pour un bon déroulement des échanges.

✨ Neue Outfits, neue Abenteuer! ✨
Unsere kleinen Wirbelwinde haben wieder frischen Style im Kleiderschrank – und plötzlich fühlt sich jeder Tag an wie eine Mini‑Premiere. Da wird gedreht, gepost, gelacht und natürlich ganz wichtig: ausprobiert, ob man damit schneller rennen, höher hüpfen oder noch lauter kichern kann.

Zwischen Sternchen, Teddy‑Vibes und Zuckerwatte‑Energie entstehen Looks, die so viel gute Laune versprühen, dass selbst die Erwachsenen kurz überlegen, ob sie nicht auch ein bisschen Glitzer im Alltag gebrauchen könnten.

Kurz gesagt: Die Kids sind bereit für alles, was Spaß macht – und ihre Outfits sowieso. Bühne frei für die nächste Runde Chaos, Kreativität und Kindermagie.

Petite bei BK Mode – Kleine Größe, große Ausstrahlung

Bei Petite geht es nicht darum, einfach nur Kleidung zu tragen. Es geht darum, ein Gefühl zu tragen. Dieses Kribbeln, wenn ein Look perfekt sitzt. Dieses Selbstbewusstsein, das plötzlich ganz selbstverständlich da ist. Diese Leichtigkeit, die sagt: „Ja, genau so will ich mich heute fühlen.“

Die Styles für Athena Petite sind gemacht für alle, die keine Kompromisse eingehen. Für alle, die wissen, dass Größe nichts mit Zentimetern zu tun hat, sondern mit Haltung. Für alle, die Lust haben, sich neu zu entdecken – mal lässig, mal elegant, mal frech, aber immer authentisch.

Ob du durch die City streifst, auf dem Dancefloor glänzt oder einfach deinen ganz eigenen Moment zelebrierst: Petite bringt deine Silhouette zum Strahlen und deine Persönlichkeit zum Leuchten. Zieh an, was dich stärker macht. Was dich verspielter macht. Was dich mehr du macht.

Petite – klein aber oho!

Discover a realm where imagination soars beyond the horizon. Skyrealm invites you to explore a breathtaking world suspended in the clouds, where art, fantasy, and innovation merge.

Located at the SkyRealm Observatory, this surreal exhibit has quietly existed for some time—yet remains newly discovered by many.

Inspired by Salvador Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory, the installation explores time as something fluid, observed, and strangely aware. Clocks are held rather than worn, memory floats rather than fades, and the viewer becomes part of the equation.

Set near the Dance Tower, the piece rewards those who pause long enough to notice it. It isn’t loud. It doesn’t announce itself. It waits.

If you haven’t seen it yet, now is a good time.
Time, after all, is already watching.

Drei Männer, drei Missionen – und Gianni meistert sie alle mit Stil, Charme und einem Hauch Größenwahn:

👨‍🍳 Gianni, der Gourmet-Gigant

Mit dem Kochlöffel in der einen und dem Sixpack in der anderen Hand zaubert er nicht nur Pasta, sondern auch Herzklopfen. Sein Geheimrezept? Ein Schuss Testosteron, eine Prise Tattoo und ein Lächeln, das selbst Tiefkühlpizza zum Schmelzen bringt.

🚀 Gianni, der galaktische Gentleman

NASA ruft – und Gianni hebt ab. In seinem Raumanzug sieht er aus wie der erste Mann auf dem Mond, der gleichzeitig ein Modelvertrag bei BK-Mode unterschrieben hat. Houston, wir haben kein Problem – wir haben Gianni.

📦 Gianni, der sportliche Paket-Prinz

Ob Jogginghose oder Jetpack – Gianni liefert. Mit Maske, Muckis und einem Karton voller Charisma sprintet er durch die Modegalaxie. Wer sagt, dass man beim Shoppen nicht ins Schwitzen kommt?

BK-Mode bringt Outfits mit Augenzwinkern und Charakter – für alle, die mehr wollen als nur Stoff am Körper. Gianni zeigt: Mode kann alles. Außer langweilig sein.

🐾 Let your fur fly! We gonna have a feral fest!

DJ Xenon Darrow and her razor‑smiled shark Mack the Knife are back at the Fleas Club this Saturday @ noon grid time!

Step into the wild with a creature‑coded set crafted just for furry friends — heartbeats, howls, neon, and pure feral energy.

Come run with the pack.
Come dance with the pride.
Come feel the pulse of the Den.

And you can ride the shark...if you dare!

Work is progressing. When I can't connect and work on the LSL scripts, I handle the web development. Ultimately, everything communicates from Opensimulator to PHP/MySQL, which is then stored in the database. From the databases, the data is then transferred from PHP/MySQL to the website, which is currently under development. Today I'm working on player profiles. We're intentionally keeping the Hypergrid names in some entries because the game will be fully Hypergrid compatible. Example profile: https://bloodmoonpack.com/pages/player.php?id=52

We're making progress! Today we finished the spike, which can drain 10, 25, or even 40 liters of vital fluid. I'll add the video of the spike once I've finished the Soul Reaper, which is the next step. I apologize for the delay, but between my day job, family life, and other commitments besides OpenSimulator, I haven't been able to find much time to dedicate to it. You can watch the video of what I've already accomplished, keeping in mind that the spike wasn't finished at the time of filming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQJIaxfVj_Q

Thank you for your patience.

New Year, New Skills: Ignite Your Inner Creator in OpenSim This 2026

As the calendar flips to 2026, there's something electric in the air—a fresh start, a blank canvas waiting for your bold strokes. In the vast, ever-evolving grids of OpenSim, where imagination knows no bounds, what better time to challenge yourself? This year, let's make a pact: commit to learning one new skill that elevates your virtual world-building game. Whether you're a seasoned grid-hopper or a newbie dipping your toes into hypergrid adventures, picking up a fresh ability isn't just about adding tools to your inventory—it's about unlocking doors to entirely new realms of creativity.


Think back to those early days of OpenSim, when resources were scarce and ingenuity was king. Creators didn't wait for the perfect mesh import or the latest PBR shader; they dove in with what they had, turning simple primitives and scavenged freebies into masterpieces. It's that spirit of resourcefulness that still fuels our community today. If you've ever marveled at how a discarded texture or a forgotten sculptie can transform into something extraordinary, you're already on the path. But why stop at admiration?

2026 is your invitation to become the alchemist. One skill that's ripe for the picking—and perfectly suited to OpenSim's DIY ethos—is the art of modding. It's not about starting from scratch; it's about seeing potential in the overlooked. Remember that full-perm lamp gathering dust in your inventory? With a bit of tweaking, its base could become the foundation of a futuristic throne.
Or take a humble plant asset: stretch it, tint it green-blue, and suddenly you've got alien foliage for your sci-fi outpost. As I explored in a recent piece on turning "found parts" into new worlds, modding is like virtual recycling at its finest—it breathes life into old items and sharpens your eye for innovation.But modding is just one gateway.

Maybe scripting calls to you: imagine crafting interactive objects that respond to avatars, like a door that whispers secrets or a fountain that dances to music.

Or dive into texturing—mastering UV mapping and bump maps to make your builds pop with realism. For the bold, there's even world management: learning to tweak server settings or set up your own region could turn you from visitor to visionary host.

The beauty of OpenSim is its openness; skills here aren't locked behind paywalls. Free tutorials abound on forums, YouTube channels dedicated to virtual worlds, and even in-world classes hosted by fellow creators.Here's how to get started without overwhelm:Set a micro-goal: Don't aim to master everything at once. Pick one skill and dedicate 15 minutes a day. For modding, start by deconstructing a freebie—unlink its parts, experiment with rotations, and reassemble into something wild.

Build a "skill scrapbox": Just like a modder's inventory of shapes, curate resources. Bookmark guides, join OpenSim Discord groups, or follow creators on OpenSimWorld for inspiration.
Share your progress: Post your experiments on OpenSimWorld. Feedback from the community isn't just helpful—it's motivating. Who knows? Your first modded creation might spark someone else's journey.
Embrace the fails: Every twisted prim or glitchy script is a lesson. In OpenSim, "mistakes" often lead to the most unique discoveries.

Learning a new skill in 2026 isn't about perfection; it's about growth. In a world where we can fly, teleport, and shape reality with a click, why not level up your own abilities? You'll not only enrich your grids but also connect deeper with our vibrant community—sharing knowledge, collaborating on builds, and inspiring the next wave of creators. So, what's your new skill going to be? Grab that inventory, fire up your viewer, and let's make this year legendary. The hypergrid awaits your spark!
