Soirée Théâtre - Et l’œuf engendra la poule
L’Event Space a le grand honneur de recevoir sous son toit la troupe Les Théâtreux pour vous présenter la pièce intitulée "Et l’œuf engendra la poule", écrite par Jean Vilain.
Elle a été initialement captée radiophoniquement et diffusée sur Radio Saint-Affrique, une radio libre et associative en Aveyron. C’est cet enregistrement original qui sera le support audio de la pièce dans laquelle les personnages sont incarnés par des avatars.

Tosha, Nomad, Doctor Dave and I were invited as guests on Inworld Review today. We were talking about our Pride event last Friday, and various places to see on our grid. We had some technical issues with voice, but it was fun. :)

A few reasons to stop using AI generated images of yourself:

These images spread misinformation, create deceptive personas, and manipulate our perceptions.

We become uncomfortable when our Brains pick up on mismatched features, such as realistic eyes and unrealistic skin.

Narcissists, keep on making these images of yourself. Post these images of yourself everywhere. You are helping to create a new kind of mental illness. Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and mental health workers worldwide are excited, waiting, and willing to earn some more money studying your newly defined mental illness. Not to mention your already existing narcissism.

Thanks for helping to create a more dysfunctional society.

GET A TEXT MESSAGE ON YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN A REGION GOES DOWN.
How to get text messages, emails, pushover, telegram, and jabber alerts if a region goes down on your grid. Well it's easy. Download servermonitor from https://github.com/phpservermon/phpservermon Next unzip it and upload it to your linux box. I put the files in /var/www/html/servermonitor.
Next get on your web browser and go to websiteaddress.com/servermonitor/install.php Fill in the questions. Set up a web database of your choosing. Create a user and a password. I did this: create database servers; create user 'someone'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; grant all on servers.* to 'someone'@'localhost'; flush priveleges;
Once that is set up, it's a breeze. Use the web interface to add servers to your list. For regions just enter a service and the port number the region is on. example service, custom port, 8007 Then select how you want to be notified if the region goes down. e.g. email or sms text message, etc. Finally using crontab -e enter * * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/servermonitor/cron/status.cron.php You are done. Now if one of your regions goes offline you will know about it in 60 seconds. Also you can add websites to the list to be monitored, mail servers, any kind of server really. It has a looooong list of server types that can be added. (very handy). Additionally you can click on a region and see it's uptime plotted hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly as well as LATENCY. We all know how important latency is for showing lag. :) Enjoy!
Note: LINK FIXED
Note: When they go offline the console shows them as red. Also you get a text message, email, etc.

An ancient wall is before you, constructed from large limestone blocks. The centuries have left their mark, etching deep pits and cracks into the stone. The surface is now a dark, almost blackened hue, the result of countless years of exposure to the elements. Despite the wall's somber and worn appearance, a single ray of light pierces through the gloom, casting a gentle, golden glow on a small section of the stone. This touch of light brings out the subtle textures and details in the limestone, revealing hints of its original, pale color. The contrast between the illuminated area and the surrounding darkness emphasizes the wall's age and the stories it holds within its weathered stones.

Textures............. they tell the story for you..

Il GRID italiano "VIRTUALIFE GRID" Sono stati presi molti dei miei abiti dal negozio Bella Donna e Black Shades, hanno fatto altre foto e hanno messo i miei abiti nel centro commerciale chiamato AURORA hop://grid.virtualife-grid.it:4577 /Porto Aurora/129/46/28
Hanno persino portato gli abiti della mia amica Belindas dall'area della città di MI AMORE REBORN OUTFITS.
I proprietari di questo GRID erano nella giungla e sono stati espulsi dal GRID perché rubano molto da qui e si insediano in altre aree e lì GRID. Hanno messo fuori degli abiti
con il nome come creatore e foto realizzate. Hanno preso uno dei loghi Black Shades che ho realizzato.
Non è la prima volta che prelevano da altre GRIGLIE.
Spero che le persone non supportino il GRID e fatemi sapere se ne vedete altri in zona. Queste persone sono italiane e hanno usato Jungle GRID per procurarsi le cose. Hanno preso da Arkham GRID e molti altri GRID nella zona abiti REBORN.
Voglio ringraziare tutti coloro che mi supportano, Belinda e Angelina Santorini.
Non darò mai il mio permesso ad aggiungere le mie cose o i miei outfit su altre GRIGLIE o negozi. Chiedi sempre.

Once upon a time ... there was a story to be told. Erika looked up from her book startled by the noise. A sudden sinking feeling swept over her, she knew the day would come when the Pirate would finally find her. That day she feared was now! Dropping her book she raced to throw the bolt across the large Hungarian door.....

Not all our textures are beautiful.....

actually some are pretty ugly

so if you need an ugly texture like Tropical thatch roofing,

Make a trip to

Textures Trees & Scripts

hundreds of beautiful textures.....and a few ugly ones!

While SL embraces PBR in an attempt to embrace greater 'realism' using the increasingly creaky old technology we’re all familiar with there is a backlash among Generation Z and other younger demographics towards cutting edge gaming with hypereal graphics and an embracing of older, less graphically real aesthetics. Some of this may be down to the fashionable adoption of retro, as in the numbers buying things like typewriters and traditional film cameras, but is some of it also likely a backlash against the increasing trend for hyperrealism where it’s no longer really easy to spot something real from recorded game action.

I am not a gamer, hence there have been a few times when I’ve been watching videos purporting to be actions in the current Russo-Ukrainian war where the game graphics have been so good that they appear to be real, it’s only when one looks more intently that it becomes subtly obvious that it’s recorded game action and not footage of an actual battlfield encounter.

I’m aware of arguments that the graphics of SL/OS are ‘poor’ but I have never agreed as this is a very subjective area depending on so many different factors, such as the comparisons being made. Relative to Minecraft and Active Worlds the graphics of SL and Opensim are fantastic, but compared to a photograph or the hypereal renderings of high end computer graphics, very poor indeed. Personally I rather like the aesthetic of SL/Opensim and would argue that the aesthetics are neither good nor bad, but exactly what they are. I’m not arguing against hyperrealism for those who want it, but rather agruing that the current graphics are regarded as fine by the vast majority if those who use Opensim and SL.

This article in today’s Guardian prompted me to write the above after last week I read something about the implementation of PBR in Second Life. Sometimes maybe, less is more, and if the aesthetics of retro games are appealing to Generation Z and other demographics younger than the average found in Opensim, then maybe there is hope yet that our hobby will endure. After all, Active Worlds is now nearly in its 30th year, has a very faithful and dedicated community together with graphics that make Minecraft look good!
