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.

OUR LAST MEETING BEFORE OPENING DAY!
Wednesday, October 7
5:00 PM Grid Time
OSFest 2026 is almost here!
Join us for our final meeting before Opening Day on October 12th.
Come ask questions, meet new friends, explore the festival grounds, and get a sneak peek at what’s waiting for you at OSFest 2026!
Come see what all the excitement is about!

🎃 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

You are free to use and share the animations. You may NOT sell them.

Now come explore Wednesday at Midnight, hunt down the Halloween gifts, visit our rather unusual neighbors... and see if you can discover the secret location containing 9.9 HOURS of animations! Look for the "Thing" Candlesticks~
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.

NOTE: SVPortal is a totally separate standalone application running in PHP. It is not a plugin to WordPress or any other CMS it is a full application by itself.

WolfViewer Smooth Seal is out. Wolf Grid users now have sailing and flying controls including autopilot. (That's not a hud it's part of the viewer) also running on our web viewer WolfStorm

Chaos ensues at Wednesday at Midnight!
Well, it looks like the neighborhood just got a little stranger. Jack and Sally Skellington moved in over the weekend!
Their wonderfully crooked new home now sits among some rather familiar neighbors — the Addams Family and Beetlejuice. At this point, we’re not entirely sure who is lowering the property values.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Jack and Sally!
A very special thank you to Shirl TaintedAngel for creating Jack & Sally’s place!

♥ OCTOBER ROSE SPECIAL PARTY ♥

★ Together against breast cancer

On Tuesday, October 6, the Event Beach Club on BloodMoon Grid will turn pink for a very special evening dedicated to October Rose.

✦ DJ CAM will be behind the decks for a night of music, dancing and good vibes — but above all, for a cause that matters.

♥ DRESS CODE: ALL IN PINK! ♥
Wear pink and come light up the dance floor with us!

:¦:-•Welcome to a Live Music Event. Where Good Times Linger! • -:¦:-.
Are you a Live Performer, a DJ, a Comedian? Just want to have a party? Region is open for you to perform at will. Join the land group to be able to rezz any props you need & set your stream. Want to Host a Party? Use the stereo inside to choose a radio station. Concerts, Parties, Performers.

Something is stirring beneath the desert sands...
An idea is slowly taking shape.
A place unlike anything we've created before.
We won't tell you what is coming.
We won't tell you what you will find.
Some secrets are far more fun when they are discovered.
All we can say is this:
Once you enter, you may find it very difficult to leave.
Oasis of Veils is coming...
Built by Nyla & Dante, powered by sand, stubbornness, and a complete lack of normal hobbies. 😏

Just playing with the future V9 (version 9) of the weather system. I offer already the EEP addon on it but the sunrise and sunset has always the same time (6am/6pm). On this version, sun elevation will follow exactly as RL (not 100% but close as I divided sun elevation in 22 bands using 320 EEP skies in total. Had to set some few fixed values for azimuth but what gives the day or night lenght is the sun elevation. so.. just doing some tests and its working so far..

Working also on a Wolf Territories version with the Wolfviewer/wolfstorm as it would work only here (so its deployed to work with customized lsl scripts from grid, so one no longer would need use/rez the sculpts for the rain/snow. it comes from the viewer. Will post it here when I`m done.

If you have a go at finding the various film links dotted around the sim and wish to check out one you think you saw then use this link to see:-

Not all are yet on that page but I will add to it as I get time. If you think you spotted one that's not in that list just ask me.
Good luck hunting... Xi
