Ich sitze hier und schreibe,
doch meine Worte finden dich nicht mehr.
Die Tränen fallen leise,
und mein Herz ist unendlich schwer.

So schicke ich dir kleine Herzen,
hinauf ins unbekannte Licht.
Vielleicht kannst du sie sehen,
denn meine Liebe stirbt mit dir nicht.

Und manchmal glaube ich zu spüren,
du bist noch immer nah bei mir.
Dann flüstere ich in die Stille:
**„Ich liebe dich. Ich vermisse dich.“**
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sit alone and write these words,
but they can no longer reach your heart.
My tears fall softly in the silence,
in a world where we're apart.

I send you little hearts of love,
up into the unknown light.
Perhaps somehow you'll see them,
still glowing through the night.

And sometimes I can almost feel
your gentle presence drawing near.
Then softly I whisper to the silence:
**“I love you. I wish you were here.”**

👂 Schluss mit weißen NPC-Ohren!

Den **NPC-Ohren-Helfer** gibt’s jetzt kostenlos in meinem Shop auf **3-World**! 😊

Mit 3 Hauttönen für Männer, 4 für Frauen und passenden Vorschaubildern. Einfach den Notecard-Text einfügen, Ohrtextur auswählen und den fertigen Text zurückkopieren.

Regions of 5x5 always, if you think it is too big, we can lower land for you, so you have water around your land. Lots is possible with a 5x5 region.

You are welcome to join us, also when you do not want to rent land and just have an avatar on ansjelagrid.com

Looking forward to meet you :)

PATIENCE please. For magical reasons, sometimes delivery of items is as slow as a glacier or as fast as lightning.

Mein Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid ✨😉

In den nächsten Tagen schreibe ich auf Discord ein bisschen über meinen Umzug von OSGrid zu NeverworldGrid – also über Erfahrungen, Anleitung und die kleinen bis mittelgroßen Stolpersteine, über die man natürlich rein zufällig trotzdem erst einmal selbst stolpert. 😄

Das Ganze ist vor allem für alle interessant, die selbst eine Region hosten möchten. Mit dabei: meine treue FRITZ!Box, die ganz tapfer den täglichen Wechsel meiner öffentlichen IPv4 managed – was ungefähr so entspannt ist, wie es klingt… also nur mit Humor und Kaffee. ☕✨

Die richtig gute Nachricht: Meine .OAR und meine .IAR wurden perfekt importiert. Und nicht nur das – ich war ehrlich gesagt völlig baff, wie unfassbar schnell das alles ging. Mein Avatar, die .OAR und auch die .IAR waren in einem Tempo importiert, bei dem ich kurz dachte, ich hätte aus Versehen den Turbomodus angeklickt. 🚀
Gerade weil das mein erster Umzug war – und dazu auch noch mein erstes .IAR überhaupt – hätte ich eher mit elegantem Chaos gerechnet. Stattdessen: erstaunlich viel Erfolg, ein bisschen Nervenkitzel und nur an den richtigen Stellen leichtes Herzklopfen. 😉

Natürlich gibt es trotzdem einiges zu beachten, und genau darüber möchte ich berichten – damit andere vielleicht nicht jede meiner kleinen „Learning by Doing mit Glitzer“-Erkenntnisse selbst nachturnen müssen. ✨

Ein ganz großes Dankeschön geht an den super lieben Support, an die hilfreichen Mitbewohner auf Discord und nicht zuletzt an meine Freundin, ohne die ich an der einen oder anderen Stelle vermutlich noch mit hochgezogener Augenbraue vor irgendeiner Konsole sitzen würde. 😄💖

Kurz gesagt:
Erster Umzug. Erstes .IAR. Viel gelernt. Viel Tempo. Viel Hilfe. Und ja – ein kleines bisschen stolz bin ich schon. ✨😉

✨ From OSGrid to NeverworldGrid – My First Big Move! 🚀💖

Well… I did it! My very first grid move, my very first .IAR, and surprisingly, I still have most of my hair! 😂✨

Over the next few days, I'll be sharing my experiences moving from OSGrid to NeverworldGrid on Discord – including a step-by-step guide, useful tips, and all those lovely little pitfalls that apparently exist just to make life more entertaining. 😉

This might be especially interesting for anyone planning to self-host their own OpenSim region.

One of the stars of this adventure was my trusty FRITZ!Box, happily dealing with my daily changing public IPv4 address. Because obviously, having a stable IP would have made things far too easy! 😂☕

And now for the REALLY exciting part…

My .OAR and .IAR were imported perfectly! 🎉

The speed was absolutely unbelievable! My avatar loaded incredibly fast, and both my .OAR and .IAR imports were so amazingly quick that I almost wondered whether someone had secretly installed a rocket engine somewhere! 🚀✨

Coming from OSGrid, I honestly couldn't believe my eyes!

Of course, there are quite a few things you need to know before attempting this adventure. And trust me, I discovered some of them the traditional way: by doing them wrong first! 😇

But that's exactly why I want to share everything I've learned – hopefully saving someone else a few hours of head-scratching, coffee drinking, and whispering sweet little threats to their computer. 😂

A HUGE thank you to the incredibly kind and patient Neverworld support team, the wonderful and helpful residents on Discord, and, last but definitely not least, my amazing friend, who helped me through this whole adventure. 💖

Without all of you, I'd probably still be staring at a console window, wondering why the universe hates special characters in passwords! 🤣

So, here we are…

First grid move. First .IAR. A few technical adventures. Lots of wonderful people. An incredible new home. And one very happy Mary! 💕

Stay tuned – the guide is coming soon on Discord!

Kisses, hugs & a little pixel dust! ✨💋

Mary 💖

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!
