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'

The current issue of Stark Magazine is another wonderful piece of work by our talented photographer Nice Minik. Strong photos in black and white are based on the theme of the cinema genre "Film Noir".

Pick up your copy of this ornate edition directly from the Stark landing point, or take the entire vendors with you.

OUT NOW! The new Stark! magazine with the famous Nice Minik as photographer and model! I can promise, you'll see new sides of OSGrid's most popular photographer. Definately worth a closer look!

Get your copy of the magazine and vendors at the Stark landing point.

ARE U TIRED OF DRAMA HERE? ENOUGH FROM RL?U should grab then a copy of my new release, the 3D DRAMA DOG for ur area.. Available for FREE and FULL PERM. Get it NOW.. dont make me.... mad... (drama) lolol

*** NEW RELEASE ****NG - NEXT GENERATION GREEDY GAME TABLES *** Available for FREE and FULL PERM! Please read notecard READ ME before using table + controller as there are many extra features! I reproduce text from NC here though:
NG GREEDY TABLES NOW are in 2 pieces;

- Table itself (around 41 prims, depending on model used and only 3 scripts);
- Greedy Controller Board (GCB) (89 prims and 1 script); and it can be paired to only ONE TABLE!


ATTENTION: ALWAYS REZ THE TABLE BEFORE THE OTHER PARTS OTHERWISE THE PAIRING WON`T WORK! WHEN BOARD REZED IT SHOWS IN GREEN "SELECT A TABLE". WHEN PEOPLE STARTS PLAYING THE GAME, BOARD SHOWS "GAME IN PROGRESS" IN YELLOW. IF THESE SENTENCES DON`T SHOW UP, DELETE BOTH TABLE AND BOARD AND START ALL AGAIN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------(GCB) GREEDY CONTROLLER BOARD

ACCESS: U can now set who will be able to change the settings from ur table.

JOIN ON SIT (*): When selected, players will be added automatically to the game when they sit down. If not selected, they need sit down and click JOIN.

(*) Selected or not, players can play the game without sitting down (since they are not far away from table - see PLAY RANGE).

POINTS MODE:
KEEP: Let`s say player A makes 1,4K and leave two dices to be rolled. So next player, B, can choose either ROLL with this two dices left or click STOP and then ROLL again, so table will refresh to 6 dices to rolled. But If player B decides to roll with these two dices left and at least one of them is "1" or a "5" and press STOP he will KEEP the 1,4K points made by player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

STEAL: Exactly like KEEP mode but if player B rolls a "1" or "5" from the two dices left from player A and press STOP he will STEAL the 1,4K points from player A plus the score given to the dice selected ("1",100 points, "5", 50 points).

CLASSIC: Like on V6 tables, so no KEEP / STEAL mode enabled.

DEVIL DICE: When selected, eventually a devil will show instead of a numbered dice. It works like a "joker dice" u often see from SL tables: u can select any value to that dice to make a combo with a highest score possible. Eg: U have two "6". so u could make the devil dice to be a "6" so u will have 6,6,6 (600 points).

SOUNDS: When selected, sounds from table will be ON; when unselected, OFF (sounds volume can be controlled by the buttom VOLUNME);

PARTICLES: It refers to particles threw when game is over: when selected, ON when unselected, OFF;

CHAT: It refers to open chat messages coming from the table during a game: When selected, ON (a); when unselected, OFF (b).

(a) Open chat will be read by players only though. Very handy if u need rez 2 or more tables, close to each other.
(b) Only table reset and winner info will be displayed. Very handy for rezzing tables at club areas.



POINTS TO WIN: It refers the max points a player should reach to be the winner;

POINTS TO JOIN: It refers the min points a player should have to be "in the board".

PLAY RANGE: It refers how far in meters a player can play the game and be recognized by the table. In this case, player needs to press JOIN to join the game. If it occurs the player is > 64 meters, table will do the self cleaning.

ROUND TIME: Time in seconds, a player can play his turn, starting conter AFTER player rolls the dice.

SKIP IDLE: Time in seconds a player has to roll the dices when its ur turn, otherwise a red skip button will show up (between ROLL and STOP on table) and ANYONE (*) can skip the current player.. Very handy for lazy players who are watching Facebook instead of playing greedy lol).

(*) Player won`t able to skip him/herself though.

OBS: When SKIP IDLE is selected to 0 (zero) it will be considered as disabled during the game.


SKIP POINTS: It refers the points given to who skips a player. A such nice incentive to skip lazy players :)

VOLUME: As name says, it controls the volume of sound from table.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have fun!

All items from my inventory are now available in the store! I still have textures to go through but will do that tomorrow. It's been a hard slog! But the end is near. Once that is all done I can get back to what I love to do! Please remember and give it time for boxes to reach you before attempting to buy another one.

I will work on the rest of the sim later on to make it all pretty! And yes you may see a little store tucked away in the corner with a big ? on it, time will tell what that will be, but I am sure it will be exciting for all regardless! Thank you for putting up with me whilst I do all this, I really do appreciate you all ♥

Texures, Trees & Scripts is honored to work with Maisey Moon and The Shopping District. For the Landscaping lovers, I have added two huge Greenhouses of Maisey's quality plants and trees!

The Little Store that keeps getting better now offers:

Tropical Greenhouse
Non Tropical Greenhouse
Two Greenhouses filled with The Shopping District plants
Textures Warehouse
Textures Too Warehouse
Scripts Warehouse
Underwater life Dome

Textures Trees & Scripts ....we just got a lot better by adding a really great person's products, Maisey Moon!

So TDS will be changing the way that you grab items at the store! I have decided to make all items full perms, only because I see my items at other stores with no credit to myself at all. So if I make everything full perm then everyone can pass out the items to their friends. I will also be boxing items based on dates that are in my inventory. I have thousands of items not out because I am just myself at TDS. So the store will still be open whilst I work in the sky to get items boxed for you to grab once it is ready. I was going to put items in boxes based on what the item is, however, I would be trawling through my invy at a snail's pace. So if you have items already then you can just unpack and delete. Watch this space and thank you for your support as always ♥

OUT NOW!! Legacy f Perky Full Cyborg Avatar in different styles and with clothing. Another 13 styles can be requested, please just contact me and tell me the style number which you can find on a board in the store.

A little sneak preview of something I'm working on on a region not yet ready to showcase. Focail na mban means women's words in Irish.

Women’s Words is in the works to put Irish women writers into the spotlight; a spotlight that has too long been occupied by Irish men. The goal of focail na mban is to explore contemporary women's writing in Ireland through a diverse intersectional lens. The shop will feature different writers in rotation and offer a deep dive into their lives and work.

Happy International Women's Day!

Remove objects from your inventory that have the same name, keeping the object with the last date.
Delete Duplicates in opensim database

DELETE ii1
FROM
inventoryitems ii1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
inventoryName,
MAX(creationDate) AS max_creation_date
FROM
inventoryitems
GROUP BY
inventoryName
) ii2 ON ii1.inventoryName = ii2.inventoryName AND ii1.creationDate < ii2.max_creation_date;

Please backup your inventory first!!! Just in case you are not happy with the results. It really will do what it says. However, there is a case where a person has merged their inventory multiple times and duplicates have the same creation date. In that case the script would leave those duplicates. Be sure to write down the size of your inventory when you start, and note the size after you run the script.

The Grove Bistro is a freebie little restaurant anyone can come and copy/buy for 0 on Birch Grove Spring. A while back I found both this cute little building (on Klamotto region) as well as a really cool collection of food on Sketchfab from a RL restaurant. I have been meaning to make a restauant combining both elements. Be aware there are some separate parts. The tables are LK from the Moonlight series and they have all the plates in them. I didn't like the square plates the originals came with so it's all on some classic round plates made by Sunny from OpenSimCreations. It was sorta supposed to be for Valentines day but the time got away on me so it's just for anytime and a cool place for your avs to go pretent to eat...lol. Not everything is free to copy/buy for 0 if it came from other creators and the perms were not so. Beside the cemetary and behind the Afree Hair Salon. Enjoy!

OK I wanted to share these two outside the dumps and the crap group too as I did a dump run to share new and old crap. I saw the old fashioned desk on the left first and it got me thinking about how much things have changed in terms of what a desk is and how we use it. So I put together and built some stuff to make the modern desk on the right.

Apologies that there is no sit pose in the old fashioned desk chair. But on the modern desk you can get all the separates in the contents including a wearable headset.

They are both available along with many many funs things you can find from many amazing creators at two glorious dumps:

This is now starting my 15th year of trying to improve Opensim with the DreamWorld and DreamGrid systems. I haven't done an OSCC talk for several years so I thought I'd give a quick review of some Opensim stats that I track. This data is based on anonymous data from the DNS servers ns1.outworldz.com and ns2.outworldz.com and the publicity checkbox, which generates XML for the https://outworldz.com/search function. I am also able to count some stats from known 'other' grids via a web crawler that runs hourly scans.

There are now 259 free OARs, and that includes 63 exclusive regions for DreamGrid owners. I licensed these from the creators, and collections are copyrightable. The most popular Public OARS are at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=OAR- and sorted by popularity are IARS at https://outworldz.com/cgi/freesculpts.plx?q=IAR- I have many more to upload still.

I do not have access to any of your assets, backups, OARS, IARS, or any personal data. My servers periodically crawl the web looking for Opensim servers from publicly available sources such as my visitor lists, the data I publish and from Hypergrid Business.

DreamGrid goes back to 2011, when it was called DreamWorld. I didn't always track much back then and periodically flushed the database. Since 2018 (6 years) , there have been 5,180 distinct DreamGrid instances. People created 12,280 different grids with it. and 3,378 were online in 2024. In that same time period of six years, I've located 2,935 standard grids. In 2024 alone, there were 2,762 unique DreamGrids online.

Sl has 18,326 private estates, which are equivalent to the 12,334 regions in Dreamgrid. However, we have much larger regions, the equivalent of 73,341 SL regions. An SL region costs $349 to set up, and $209 a month to rent (not own). The first year, one region costs $2,857, the second year $2508.

When you compare DreamGrid with the SL private estates, we've collectively saved $209,535,237 in the first year, and $183,939,228 per year after that.

If you have been keeping up with the weather in the US, you know that about half of the US is dealing with blizzards, sub freezing temperatures severe enough to challenge infrastructures, and peripheral states are dealing with flooding and electrical infrastructure challenges. Two of our presenters had to bow out due to last minute inclement weather, and my own electricity is VERY sketchy. We have experienced power surges in my city for over 24 hrs, with uncertain relief. Sadly, I live in a state that has puffed out their chest about being off the federal grid, and in the last 10 years, we have paid dearly for that.

We are committed to this. We will reschedule sometime after the Hypergrid World's Fair, where WolfTEC will be have a presence! We hope to see you all there!

Are you using a 4K monitor ? Are you looking to upgrade ?

I publish here some benchmark in the hope it might help those who are looking to up part their performances using Firestorm. I was myself looking to find those information before i upgraded.

This will allow you to see what performance you could get with a similar hardware. I chose Intel, but AMD is also a very good choice, so for comparison it would need to be an AMD with similar performance to get similar result, the same for the video card.

Please note, these benchmark are with Firestorm with everything enabled Ultra Detail and Distance view set to 864. With a 4k Monitor (3840x2160)

Firstly "Happy New Year" everybody!

zetaworld grid automatically logs out any hypergridders from dynamic dns grids from visiting them (SUPER RUDE ZETA!), so in return I've done the same, so if zetaworld residents get logged out when hypergridding to "http://snik.loseyourip.com:8002:home of merci" then that will be the reason why.

I'm more than happy to reverse my decision, assuming zetaworld does the same :)

I'm trying to be a more positive, encouraging, creative and empathic individual, but currently I'm struggling. I'll do my very best to do better in future. :)

Always happy to share grid admin tips along with general opensim support and help, generally, I don't bite, unless you do :)
