My new website went live today. You will find art, my music, my videos, and some info about me and my projects. Have a look and let me know what you think. On the Music page, scroll to the bottom and you will find buttons you can click that will take you to my playlists so you can listen. You can also watch the videos on the website. Thanks for looking! I forgot to mention that it is my voice singing most of the songs.

NewLifeItaly: the new official website is now online!

We are happy to announce that the new official NewLifeItaly website is now online:

https://newlifeitaly.com

The portal has been completely redesigned to offer the community a more modern, organized and complete experience.

Users can now register directly from the website, confirm their email, create their grid avatar, access their personal profile, update profile photo, cover image and personal information, manage friends and follow community activity.

We have also introduced a new internal social area where users can publish posts, images, comments, reactions and stay updated on what is happening in the grid.

A new Events section is also available. Users with an assigned land can submit events, while staff members can moderate and approve them. Each event includes image, date, real-world time, grid time, location, teleport and participant list.

The new website includes:

Modern landing page with image or video support
Global automatic translator for the whole portal
Grid Status page with grid statistics
Grid map
Complete user profiles
Internal social community
Event system with participation tracking
Land management for authorized users
Improved registration security
Updated privacy, cookie and terms pages

Users with an assigned land can manage it directly from the portal, check its status, start it, stop it, restart it and know when it is ready to enter again.

The project was developed and refined by Hexivia, giving NewLifeItaly a more professional, elegant and community-focused web presence.

We look forward to seeing you in NewLifeItaly!

A dynamic musical journey

There is something truly special about waking up in the morning, logging into your own DreamGrid world, and seeing a place that yesterday existed only in your imagination now standing before you.

One day it is a quiet mountain village with waterfalls and cherry blossoms. The next, it is a haunted manor, a golf resort, a western ghost town, a tropical city, or an entire fantasy kingdom. That freedom is the magic of DreamGrid. You are not limited to someone else’s vision, rules, or monetized template. You build your own worlds, your own stories, your own experiences.

For many of us, these worlds are more than regions on a server. They are creativity made visible. They are peaceful escapes, social spaces, experiments, memories, art galleries, games, classrooms, and dreams brought to life.

People sometimes focus only on technical comparisons or politics, but they completely miss the emotional side of creation. The feeling of terraforming a landscape at 2 AM because inspiration struck. The excitement of adding the final lanterns to a harbor. Watching friends explore something you built from nothing. That feeling never gets old.

DreamGrid gives people the ability to create without needing a giant corporate budget, a massive development team, or expensive infrastructure. Just imagination, passion, and the willingness to learn. That is powerful.

And honestly? In a world where so many platforms try to control creativity, there is something refreshing about having your own grid where your imagination is the limit.

Create the worlds you want to live in. That is the real magic. https://outworldz.com/Outworldz_installer/ three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Zensational

I recently did a deep dive into what one might find in an Irish Petrol station. Because even though I lived in Ireland for the better part of a year in my 20s, I didn't drive there at all so I kind of assumed their gas stations were similar to ours. In Canada (and I will extend this to say probably in the USA too because we are quite similar in many ways) it's considered high risk behaviour to eat food you buy from a gas station. But when I looked up food at a petrol station in Ireland, they're rather high end with lovely hot food counters that won't give you intenstinal distress. People go there instead of fast food places for the quality. Remarkable. One of the things that kept coming up as a delicacy really is the Chicken Fillet Roll so I had to make that. And potato wedges of course. The rest are Sketchfab finds of things I saw commonly listed. Coffee fixings, soft drink stuff and slushies as well as a whole Tayto Crisps rack are also in there. Free to Copy/Buy for 0.

And EV Recharge stations are becoming more and more prevalent in Northern Ireland especially so I took a crack at making one of those across from the regular Maxol Petrol station. I'm not quite ready to make the regular station free to copy yet as it still needs some tweaks but you can get the framework for the EV station which can then be easily unbranded. The EV chargers, fences and solar panels are separate pieces to the framework build so be mindful of that.

Again Free to Copy and buy for 0.

Legacy Women – drei Looks, eine klare Ansage

Diese Legacy‑Frauen brauchen keinen roten Teppich, um Eindruck zu machen.
Ein Bodysuit, ein Farbkracher, ein tiefes Dekolleté – und schon weiß jeder:
Hier wird nicht gefragt, ob etwas „zu viel“ ist. Hier wird entschieden, was genug ist.

Links gibt’s Power, die glitzert.
In der Mitte ein Farbmix, der sagt: „Ich bin die Stimmung.“
Rechts ein Auftritt, der so tief geht wie der Ausschnitt.
Drei Styles, ein gemeinsamer Nenner: Selbstbewusstsein im Überfluss.

Legacy Women tragen nicht Mode.
Sie tragen eine Warnung: Bitte nicht unterschätzen.

BK‑Mode – für Frauen, die nicht nur auffallen,
sondern dafür sorgen, dass man nicht mehr wegschaut.

Gianni – Mode, die funktioniert und Spaß macht.

Gianni‑Outfits haben einen einfachen Anspruch: gut aussehen, ohne ein Theater daraus zu machen. Ob für den Alltag, Events oder den großen Auftritt im Grid – die Styles sitzen, wirken und lassen dir genug Raum, du selbst zu bleiben.

Dabei nehmen wir Mode ernst, aber nicht zu ernst.
Denn wer sagt, dass Professionalität keinen Humor haben darf?
Gianni zeigt: Stil kann souverän sein und trotzdem ein Lächeln mitliefern.

BK‑Mode – für alle, die sich anziehen wollen, ohne sich zu verkleiden.

Mother's Day is rapidly approaching so I wanted to get some cute Mother's Day decorations out in the way of figurines. They're really cute to sit on a table, a lamp stand, bookcase or a shelf. I have them sitting in the arrival point for the mall so you can find them quickly. But while you're here be sure to check out the other areas as we have, I think, thousands of items for you to peruse and maybe take to decorate your own region or grid. All of our items are free and full perm, and 98% is made by us here on this grid and are one of a kind. To all you Mom's - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Step inside Gridlock Manor, a fully interactive murder mystery experience where every room holds a secret and every clue could change the outcome.

Inspired by classic deduction-style games, this immersive adventure challenges you to piece together the truth behind a chilling crime. Was it a familiar face? A hidden weapon? Or a room that holds more than meets the eye?

Your mission:
Uncover the suspect
Identify the weapon
Pinpoint the location

Using your in-world HUD, you’ll explore the manor, gather clues, and make your accusation. But be careful—some details are designed to mislead.

What makes Gridlock Manor different:

Fully interactive environment built in OpenSim
Dynamic mystery that changes regularly
Solo or group gameplay
Real-time deduction with live results

Every visit offers a new challenge. Every guess brings you closer—or further—from the truth.

Do you have what it takes to solve it?

(Use your own VR or AR Glasses for the BEST 3D experience)

I really disliked one of my attractions in THE DIM. We decided to vaporize the Titty Twister ride. At the wave of Dirty Helga's wand, 'The Lamenticon' has emerged; an outdoor theater showing 'LeMIZ' with a Dismayland twist... Every NPC show repeats in a continuous loop so you can FOLLOW them or NOT!

Komm vorbei, setz dich auf ein Meditationskissen oder schließe dich direkt der Tai-Chi-Gruppe an. Wir freuen uns darauf, gemeinsam mit dir in den Tag zu fließen.

Eywa — Tree of Souls

In the world of Pandora, Eywa represents the spiritual connection between all living things.

This Tree of Souls was custom created for me by Lyric Alexander in 2009. It was never released or distributed — it has always been part of my original build. I remember asking Lyric if she could create it—she told me at the time how difficult it would be, but she was willing to try. She went on to bring it to life, along with the Helicoradian (accordion) plants used throughout the region. Thank you Lyric, and all the creators who worked on this project. You will find a note about it at landing.

More than a tree, it reflects living energy… a place to pause, reflect, and connect.

Come sit beneath the branches and feel it for yourself.
three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:iknimaya

Blue Moon was originally built in Virtual Highway Grid (2009). I later purchased the OAR after Tiffany Magic passed, I miss her. I rebuilt Iknimaya on my own grid using my original OAR and maintain a record of all original creators involved.

Election season is near and Miser wants to take control of the Greedy Creek swamp in order to get one over on Ms Chopsy! If only he could convince everyone that Helga is nothing more than a silly old hag who's lost her mind. Unbeknownst to Miser but known to us: Helga is 'The Architect' :: behind the scenes all along, it has been HER who has been pulling the strings and spinning the tides of Chaos! Don't bother voting, the machines were already rigged. Who won the election? YOU DID by taking a mild peek at this element of the absurd! Peace & Love!

Schade das viele hier das nicht wahrhaben wollen und glauben man kann sich in virtuellen Welten diesen Wahnsinn entziehen. Glaubt, was ihr wollt, aber lasst mich hier meine Überzeugung und auch meine Meinung kundzutun. Man muss mich nicht lesen, wenn man nicht will. Aber mich und meine entsprechenden Beiträge hier zu bekämpfen, rückt euch ziemlich nahe in die Richtung, welches mein Bild aufzeigt. Schönen Tag noch.

It's a shame that many here refuse to accept this and believe they can escape this madness in virtual worlds. Believe what you want, but let me express my conviction and my opinion here. You don't have to read me if you don't want to. But attacking me and my posts here will bring you pretty close to the direction I'm painting. Have a nice day.

We built these worlds to escape the real one. Every direction of the political compass is equally avoidable. Think of the family gathering where everyone gets along beautifully, because everyone silently agreed not to go there today.

This is my not today.
Build something instead.

I am proud to announce my release of OarConv Reimagined. This program will allow you to upload any mesh, rigged mesh, or not up to around 1 gigs about 20 files or so at once using an oar file! It auto chunks large meshes automatically. The items in the picture were over 2 million verts. It makes a sane physics map for you also . So despite the high verts, well the physics load is a lot lower than what you get with the viewer. It also will let you list all your oar contents in a text file...and well import it into blender with all the textures and placement just like in world!!! :-) Below is the help menu. and below that the download link.

FILE
Open OAR File: open a packaged .oar archive.
Open OAR Folder: open an extracted OAR working folder.
Convert Data: export the loaded OAR using the format from Tools > Output Format. It reads the existing OAR object XML and companion assets, then writes converted output files to disk.
Convert Data does not create a new LLMesh object or save a replacement object XML. The XML already exists in the loaded OAR and is used as export input.

FILE MENU COMPATIBILITY
The converter is only supported for OARs produced by the actual simulator. Repacked or reverse-injected OARs created by this program are not backward-compatible with the converter and may fail if reopened through File > Open OAR File or File > Open OAR Folder and then converted again.

IMPORT
Step One: create blank.oar and prepare an extracted working folder for injection.
Inject Mesh: add one .dae, .gltf, or .glb model into an extracted OAR. Set location, scale, physics, rigging, and LODs here.
Pack Oar: repack the extracted folder into a final .oar archive.

TOOLS
Objects List: browse objects in the loaded OAR and export selected objects through the normal OAR export pipeline.
Objects List > Export: export one or more selected OAR objects into an output folder. Depending on format, the app may write the main file under Solids or Phantoms and may also create companion folders such as Textures, MTL, or BIN.
Objects List > Export does not create a standalone mesh inventory object. It converts from the object's existing OAR XML and asset data.
Output Format: choose DAE, OBJ, GLTF, GLB, FBX, or STL for export.
Settings: set ranges, shifts, terrain options, and folder prefixes.

INJECT MESH DIALOG FIELDS
Source model: the .dae, .gltf, or .glb file to insert.
Location X/Y/Z: the final placement of the inserted object in the target OAR region.
Current dimensions: read-only size of the source model after analysis.
Scale: uniform size multiplier. 1.0 keeps original size.
Physics: choose how collision data is generated. File mode uses a separate physics model.
Rigged: treat the source as a rigged or avatar-style model.
Include Joint Positions: keep joint position data when rigged import needs it.
Strip Joint Data: remove rigging data and force a static-style result.
LOD High/Medium/Low/Lowest: control each generated LOD level.
Mode: choose how each LOD is derived.
Target Tris: desired triangle count for that LOD when the selected mode uses a target.
Vertices: read-only estimate of vertex count for each generated LOD.

WORKFLOW: OAR TO BLENDER USING GLB
1. Open Tools > Output Format and select GLB.
2. Open the source OAR with File > Open OAR File or Open OAR Folder.
3. Run File > Convert Data.
4. Import the generated .glb files into Blender with File > Import > glTF 2.0.

WORKFLOW: BUILD A REPACKED OAR WITH MULTIPLE MODELS
1. Run Import > Step One once to create a blank working OAR.
2. Run Import > Inject Mesh once for each model you want to add.
3. Source files can be .glb, .gltf, or .dae. Rigged avatar-style models can use the Rigged and joint options.
4. Repeat Inject Mesh until all assets are placed.
5. Run Import > Pack Oar to write the final repacked archive.
PLEASE DO ENJOY!!!!ONLY IN OPENSIM!Feel free to report bugs and or other worthy insights. I have written the original makers of it but not gotten any replies so I do no tknow if they are around or not. It is legal opensource though. THe list of contributors is there. If anyone knows them tell them to say hello...

SAFARIERS.....ASSEMBLE! :D

The only thing you will not find at Dismayland is BOREDOME. Everywhere you go, there are curious things to attract and distract. RIDES to shake you and GAMES to BREAK you. You've never experienced a chaotic holiday like this.

The 'System Avatar' requirement has been permanently dropped; it was a fun little inconvenience during the BETA TEST. The Park Ranger is a little more lenient but all restrictions are still handled autonomously.

By the way: it is SPRING at Dismayland... so we decided to drop some SPRINGS along the boardwalk! It is a great way to see the sights from above but be aware the landing packs quite a punch...

The Sunflower Bakery & Cafe has both Ukrainian and Irish Foods. Ireland has taken in over 112,000 Ukrainian refugees since the invasion and war with Russia began. Some of the refugees have gone other places but many have stayed, making Ukrainian people and culture a signifigant part of Irish culture now too. The bakery on Fianna Rua is owned by 2 sisters from the Ukraine. You will find Paska - Ukrainian Easter bread as well as some traditional painted eggs. And the bakery of course also has local Irish treats. Immediately under the gnome cookies you can see on top of the counter are Fifteens.

"Fifteens are a popular, no-bake Northern Irish traybake named for their core ingredients: 15 digestive biscuits, 15 marshmallows, 15 glacé cherries, and sweetened condensed milk. This sweet, sticky, and chewy treat is rolled in coconut, chilled, and sliced. They are easy to prepare, perfect for tea, and often served as a nostalgic treat."

On the right in that same section you can see Irish Cream Horns.

"Irish cream horns are a classic pastry made from flaky puff pastry wrapped around a cone-shaped mold, baked until golden, and filled with whipped cream or pastry cream. They are often dusted with powdered sugar, offering a light, crunchy texture paired with a soft, sweet filling."

This batch doesn't have powdered sugar but I assure you they are still delicious:) And all are free to copy/buy for 0:)

Ulster Fry

"An Ulster fry is a traditional Northern Irish breakfast, often served all day, featuring fried bacon, sausages, eggs, black/white pudding, tomatoes, and mushrooms. Key, defining elements that distinguish it from a full English breakfast are the inclusion of soda bread and potato farls (potato bread) fried until crisp."

There is some debate about the inclusion of baked beans. Traditionalists say no but modern Ulster Fry plates have them and I like them so I included them. There's an attribution notecard in the contents and this beautiful plate can be found in Doyle's Coffee House (it used to be a pub in pervious incarnations of the build but we have a fair few pubs:)

Free to copy/buy for 0.

We also have some lovely scones with clotted cream and black current jam and fresh hot cross buns with whipped butter which some folks enjoy for the Easter week and weekend:)
