For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.

Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!

Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.

In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.

Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!

Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!

Sharing knowledge is Caring



FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

More fun out on the HG with a growing crowd of intrepid group tourists.

Hi Everyone!

We have just had a delivery from the warehouse and we have the following in store:

One massive 29 piece cemetery set. Perfect for those vampire, destopian or horror regions. It does come with the broken version (pictured) and nice shiny new version if you just want to have a lovely cemetery for your local church or memorial area.

We also have a garden party set beautifully presented and includes the musical instruments on the stage plus the dancefloor and lights. There are 8 pieces in total in this set.

There is more to come this weekend so if you like what we're doing, please pop on over regularly to see the new items in stores daily!

Cyberglo has made an absurd and unfounded accusation against Silvia Frey. His post starts with a hysterical headline: PRISCILLA IS BACK!!! THIS TIME A NEW NAME/AVATAR.

I asked Cyber, "Answer just one question. In what way is Silvia Frey, who joined the Blackswan grid almost 8 months ago, and was known in the CopyKat Grid before that,"new?" So far, no answer. Obviously, she is not new.

Cyberglo identifies Silvia with a Blackswan grid address. Blackswan is home to a small group of friends who have been together in SL and now OS for over a decade. It looks like Silvia came to Blackswan in June 2023, when the CopyKat Grid closed. Maurice invited only a few trusted people from CopyKat to BlackSwan. It's doubtful that a guy responsible for keeping two grids safe would invite Priscilla Snot-rag to BlackSwan.

Several people have asked Cyber for evidence to support his wacko-nuts-cray-cray claim. One of them comments, "Hey Cyber. Almost a full day after you made this scaremongering and slanderous post. Obviously, you do not have any evidence. No logs, no screen caps, nothing."

Another person comments, "Why don't you allow Silvia to defend herself of your post? She is trying to access the comments and can't see the post". In other words, he has blocked her. Perhaps in his fevered imagination, he thinks she can take down his regions by just commenting on his OSW post. Did I say wacko-nuts-cray-cray already? It bears repeating.

Wow! The boxes just keep on coming today! Next delivery is into our Creative Landscaping store:

12 Piece Mythspire Grey Rock Set. Perfect for cliffs and other large scale rocky landscaping. Also in the set is a rock perfect to use as a floating island for those fantasy regions.

10 piece Cliffs of Dover set. Again, great for large scale rocky landscaping or region walls. Could also be made much smaller for those smaller garden projects.

We are having a massive weekend this weekend so if you like what we're doing, keep popping over for all the new items in stores daily!

Week 6: Learning the Fundamentals of Your Viewer
This week, we will cover the basic functions of your viewer, essential for customizing your experience. You will learn how to create outfits and get dressed, utilizing the outfit system. We will go over the toolbars buttons, clearing cache and building in your AO. Volume controls for adjusting other avatars' voices will also be addressed. By the end of this day, you will have a solid grasp of the core viewer features allowing you to tailor Open Sim to your needs. With practice, these functions will become second nature. Understanding these basics paves the way for more advanced creativity down the road. Class will be starting at 10am grid time every Saturday

How about a classy chair, you can take with you and sit in anywhere? This beautiful golden elven chair can be rezzed and sat in, or attached and sat in, making it possible for you to sit anywhere in style. Get it now at Wizardry!

I'd like to announce that I'm going on vacation from OS for a time. But I've been on a vacation from OS already, for maybe two months now, and I'd have to interrupt my vacation to say that I'm not going on vacation because I'm already on vacation. So, no announcements. Mainly because, at this point, I'm confused about the whole vacation thing. However, while I'm pretty sure I'm on vacation from OS, I still log in to OSW on occasion to check on the What Are You Looking For group. The helpers there have been, and continue to be, incredible! Anyways, if you want to send me a message, I'm likely to see it, and I might just answer.

Announcing the opening of our Knick Knack Shop!

This will be a growing collection of all sorts of treasures to have in your home to help give it your special touch. We will be adding to this collection weekly so if you like what we're doing, keep popping in for more!

Happy new year ! Seems nothing has changed and the anarchy goes on on this side. Back from vacation and going on vacation next week. Here are some updates.. The experimental sim with "purgatory" on it will be dissolved and parts of the sim will be found again on heavy water. Heavy water is undergoing major expansion and is therefore closed for an indefinite period of time. Afterwards, group access as usual. Cockatiels paradise, as you would expect, receives regular updates and is always changing. Greetings!
