A Python project I started working on this morning. An automatic marine life and boat route creator. You tell it where you want to go, and boom! It makes a nice route for your script to use, and a jpeg grid map snippet, for your viewing pleasure!

I'm kind of blown away that it finds it's way through all the narrow rivers and channels. This is pretty specific to GroovyVerse, because it uses our terrain height maps that are saved during our daily backup regimen. We will have a lot of automated boats and pods of dolphins and humpback whales wandering the grid at their own whimsy. lol

Hey guys! Looking for a new home? Why not get your own grid? Cooper Swizzle and I use Hosting 4 OpenSim to help run ours.
Josh is fantastic, and it's a lot easier than you think to get started!

Josh will be at OSFest tomorrow at 10 AM GridTime to answer any questions you may have about owning your own grid!

Fall is in the Air at Novale
If you enjoy contrasts, Novale in Autumn should be your top destination. Come and get immerse in the explosion of colours in the natural habitats south of the mountain ridge and, if your are brave, go north in the dark and tricky side og halloween.

Working on a project with Lone Wolf from WT: it`a 20x20 VAR region with the (so far) the highest mountain found on opensim (the peak found is 901 meters O.o@@@@!! it `s a SIM connetected north from TROMSO called SENJA (from Senja mountains in Norway). but unsure about the name - or maybe redo the Tromso into it. SIM is opened for visitations but not much many things built there yet just a bunch of trees, a harbor and a medieval viking church (Stavkirk).If you want to come , u will need to use Wolfviewer or Wolfstorm though as from the normal FS u will crash (reason is because FS built for SL and SL dont have VAR regions, not evben the monster-var we have now on opensim). but if u using the correect viewer, welcome and try to climb to the summit!

Nach Mitteilung sei Tomi Balboa in der Nacht vom 04. auf 05. Oktober verstorben.
Wir erfuhren dies über eine Woche später am Dienstag den 13.Oktober, dass Tomi Balboa schon von Sonntag, den 04.Oktober auf Montag, den 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus verstorben sein soll.
Smaili dachte dass Tomi Balboa im Krankenhaus ins Koma gelegt worden sei und nach Angaben von Smaili wurde Tomi eine Woche zuvor mit Rettungswageneinsatz am Mittwoch den 23.September wegen Herzinfarkt ins Krankenhaus gebracht und wurde die Woche darauf am Dienstag,den 29.September mit Entlassbrief vom Krankenhaus entlassen und 4 Tage später am Samstag, den 03.Oktober bekam er einen zweiten Herzinfarkt, wir konnten einen Rettungseinsatz veranlassen. Am Sonntag,den 04.Oktober um 10:27 Uhr hatte Tomi Smaili angeschrieben und sagte er sei jetzt im Krankenhaus, nicht intensiv sondern in einem normalen 2 Bett Zimmer mit anderem Patienten zusammen.Er sagte er hätte am Samstag einen zweiten Herzinfarkt bekommen und hofft das es der letzte war, er schrieb noch er sei am Samstag Abend vom Stuhl gefallen und konnte nicht aufstehen und nicht telefonieren, hätte starke Schmerzen gehabt. Seine letzter gemeinsamer Chatkontakt zu Smaili war am Sonntag den 04.Oktober um 17:27 Uhr und ab 19:04 Uhr hatte er nicht mehr geantwortet, deswegen war die Vermutung das er ins Koma versetzt wurde.
Was dann folglich Sonntag auf Montag in der Nacht des 04. auf 05.Oktober im Krankenhaus passiert ist wissen wir nicht. Smaili war noch nicht bereit es zu veröffentlichen dass er verstorben sei.

According to reports, Tomi Balboa passed away during the night of October 4th to 5th.
We learned of this more than a week later, on Tuesday, October 13th specifically, that Tomi Balboa had reportedly passed away in the hospital between Sunday, October 4th, and Monday, October 5th.
Smaili believed that Tomi Balboa had been placed in a medically induced coma at the hospital. According to Smaili, Tomi had been taken to the hospital by ambulance a week earlier, on Wednesday, September 23rd, following a heart attack. He was discharged the following week, on Tuesday, September 29th, with a discharge letter. Four days later, on Saturday, October 3rd, he suffered a second heart attack, at which point we were able to arrange for an ambulance. On Sunday, October 4th, at 10:27 a.m., Tomi messaged Smaili to say that he is now in the hospital not in the intensive care unit, but in a standard two-bed room, sharing the space with another patient.He said that he had suffered a second heart attack on Saturday and hoped it would be his last. He also wrote that he had fallen from his chair on Saturday evening and was unable to get up or make a phone call, experiencing severe pain. His last chat interaction with Smaili took place on Sunday, October 4th, at 5:27 PM; he stopped responding at 7:04 PM, which led to the assumption that he had been placed in a medically induced coma.
We do not know what subsequently happened at the hospital during the night from Sunday, October 4th, to Monday, October 5th. Smaili was not yet ready to make the news of his passing public.

maybe will have new version running on holoneon grid by monday, will have to see.
