Aloha

Words can not express enough how sad/devastated I and all of My Virtual Beach is to hear about the passing of my good friend and grid supporter Golpher Gopheller.

Him and I would talk about Hawaii all the time, I visited Hawaii a few years ago and he told me he would wave to me when my cruise ship set sail. I told him I would wave back. Hawaii was the best trip I have ever been on. He gave me wonderful advice and places to visit.

He would try when he could to make it to one of the Meet and Greets in my grid, he even made to the VB crawl I hosted once.

I remember when we would hang out in lbsa plaza he would have his dinky avatar on. I would make sure to have kitty treats and toys in my pocket.

When its 8:00m pm his time and like i should be in bed my time, he would tell me this. Well time for me to hop off, i have to put my boys to bed. (referring to his pet birds) He would tell me how there doing.

When I knew there was bad weather i would message him making sure he was okay. With all the bad weather lately I hadn't heard from him in awhile or seen him. I didn't know one day it would be our last conversation.

The picture you see is a region he created he was very proud of he would talk about it all the time. I promised him i would visit this region. If anyone gets a chance please visit. Its an amazing region i wish i had on my grid.
hop://hg.hawaiiandreamsgrid.net:26002/Hawaiian Dreams Welcome/125/140/23

I would like to send my condolences to all the grids he was a member of and to all his family and friends.

E hoʻomālielie i ke kaumaha to the family and friends.
He was such a wonderful friend, and I am holding you all close in my heart. May he be at peace.
Mahalo for the beautiful memories we shared. Until we meet again—A hui hou.

There will be stone for him at Virtual Beach Memorial Gardens for all to visit with his picture.

In Loving Memory of Golpher Gopheller

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Golpher Gopheller, a longtime resident of Twiztid Timez Grid and a dear friend to many. Golpher passed away peacefully on September 26, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. He was 72 years old.

Born on July 28, 1954, in Tampa, Florida, Golpher was the beloved son of the late Alfred and Bonnie Amedy.

He proudly served his country in the United States Coast Guard, dedicating many years to honorable service before retiring. Throughout his career and his life, he carried a deep sense of duty, integrity, and commitment.

Golpher is survived by his loving wife, Shaldyn Amedy; his daughter, Janessa Pierdes; his brother, Mark Amedy; and two cherished grandchildren.

Within Twiztid Timez Grid, Golpher was much more than a resident—he was a treasured friend and an important part of our community. His friendship, kindness, strength, and wonderful presence touched the lives of many. The memories he created with us will remain forever in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.

We are currently planning a memorial service and celebration of Golpher’s life. The date, time, and additional details will be announced within the next few days.

Golpher will be deeply missed and forever loved.

May he rest in peace.

https://Outworldz.com has major new features in Beta 7.2115.

Endless Land, Sea and Cities lets you lay out an interconnected road network on huge areas of land.

The Avatar loader lets you upload Avatars including the textires with a few clicks. Not only that, you can upload GLB/GLTF. DAE and FBX files! and use DAE and FBX types with auto rigged armatures from sites like Mixamo and Tripo Ai.

A build in MCP server lets you control your grid from most AI systems - just type in a phrase such as "Find all regions that have the word "sandbox" and shut them off"

And I've used the Animation convertor and released over 2000 new animations. These are free, work in Opensim and are professionaly Motion Captured.

https://outworldz.com/home.htm

🎃 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
The animation collection is released by Outworldz, LLC under CC BY-NC-SA.
You are free to use and share the animations. You may NOT sell them.
BY — Attribution: You must credit Outworldz, LLC.
NC — NonCommercial: No commercial use. The animations may not be sold.

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!

SVPortal v2.0 Beta 1 is now available.

This release brings the new setup registry to replace most of the configuration in config.php (some items have to stay there - like database connection details: you cant get the database connection details from the database until you know how to connect to the database!)

Existing users will need to upgrade their grid settings, and a script is provided to do this - but please read the note on the download at https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ for more information, and download.
