Close to both Tokyo and Mount Fuji the small town of Hakone holds something of a revelation. However, unless you are from Japan, you may well not have heard of it. The town plays host to a large open air museum where the works of many famous artists are held - outdoors. It balances art and nature in harmony. The artworks, combined with the beautiful views of the surrounding mountains give the visitor an unforgettable experience. Now recreated in OpenSim for all those missing travelling in Real Life.

New release today. Something for the garden, at least we can have virtual spring ;)

This one is a victorian-ish garden gazebo.
It has several versions that's aren't all on display at the shop since the gazebo is pretty large. There are 2 metal choices, 2 clematis colors, and 2 vine configurations. Textures are inside a version in the box and an enclosed notecard has all the info.
The vines and the chandeliers are separate objects so they are optional for those who just want the structure.

Have a lovely day!

** PETUNIAS LOG PLANTER ** New release - Available for FREE and FULL PERM at FLORA, GARDEN SECTOR, BOX 01.
- 5 different flowers and seasons included.
- Scripted version also available - use a single script to change colors/seasons using one single script! Even if rezing a hundred of these log planters!
Enjoy :)

HG Houses with Snow Control - NEW @ Needful Things

I added to all my HG Winter Prefabs a Snow Control Panel, so you can switch between summer / winter with just one click.
Most of these houses got a Light Control Panel, too.

p.s.: More modificated HG prefabs will coming soon in "Need a new Home?" store - opposite to the Bank of Needful Things.

HG Häuser mit Schnee-Menü - NEU @ Needful Things

Ich habe meinen Winterhäusern mit Schneedach, die ich über die Jahre im HG aingesammelt habe, einen Schnee-Kontroll-Schalter hinzugefügt, so dass man mit nur einem Klick zwischen Sommer- / Winterstyle wechseln kann.
Ebenso haben die meisten der Häuser einen Lichtschalter zum Kontrollieren der Lampen bekommen.

p.s.: Mehr modifizierte HG Häuser (ohne Schnee^^) folgen nach und nach in den neuen Shop "Need a new Home?" - gegenüber der Bank von Needful Things.

New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).

I worked out a solution for initial sitting bug in the NPC Horse (script by Shin Ingen) where the avatar sinks through the horse when wearing an AO.
In the NPC horse script by Shin Ingen in under run_time_permissions(integer perm) FIND
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
llStopAnimation("sit");
//llStartAnimation("man-stop");
switchAnims("idle");
}
and REPLACE with
if (perm & PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION)
{
list anims = llGetAnimationList(llGetPermissionsKey());
integer len = llGetListLength(anims);
integer i;
for (i = 0; i < len; ++i) llStopAnimation(llList2Key(anims, i));
//llOwnerSay("Permissions Accepted");
switchAnims("idle");
}
If you don't like coding, just hop over to Neiferleaf and fetch the boxed new horse rezzer at the landingpoint.
Enjoy

Arkham Grid was born without an internal community project, players can't register, so I knew the difference. Not knowing and not having friends. This has not happened, I have more friendships now than in many years of Opensim, many come to greet, to talk, or to listen to me. I am very happy, there is a lot to do in this grid, my next project is to open land for residents "Arda", I am ready to host friends in my house.
I thank all the people who have always chosen Arkham, thank you for your friendship, and for creating a great community in the grid.
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!

SVPortal - Web Front-end to OpenSim

Is now available to download. This is a release candidate - there may be bugs!

If you plan to install this on your own grid please carefully read the README.md and INSTALL.md in the package. No warrantee is implied in this package. If it breaks - you get to keep both halves. If it breaks your OpenSim - the same thing goes. PLEASE TAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR GRID SYSTEMS BEFORE INSTALLING. While I have tested extensively on my grid and a test grid - all grids are different.

Please visit https://www.glenysbieler.com/svportal/ to read documents and to download the package.

Meet the Crystal Moss Wanderer, a peaceful explorer from a bioluminescent jungle world where living vines, gemstones, and ancient forests exist in perfect harmony.

This beautifully crafted wearable avatar is FREE at Gallumbits. Stop by, explore the wonders of the Last Restaurant, Lounge & Ballroom at the End of the Universe, and claim your own Crystal Moss Wanderer from the gift box.

The Crystal Moss Wanderer was intentionally designed as a living forest spirit rather than a humanoid. Her vines, bark, moss, and crystal growths are part of her species, giving her the appearance of nature brought to life. Fantasy creatures don't have to follow human anatomy—that creative freedom is what makes them unique.

Every species has a story... three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Eccentrica Gallumbits

How sad has it become if a closed grid starts making avatars on other (our) grids, and contact renters on our grid to come there.
You really have to make it like that?

Unfortunately renters of our grid were contacted and were promised free land if they would join.
sure, free land is nice but if you have a pay system and the coins are expensive ...lol
who is framing who .....
My renters are smart enough not to fall for it, and everybody is free to give free land
But i would never try to get renters like this....so please grow up and get a life.

sorry had to share this.

🌟 Tribute to Joe Dokes — A Life That Left Light Behind

There are people who pass through our lives quietly, and then there are people like Joe Dokes — people whose presence becomes part of the foundation of our world. Joe was one of those rare souls who didn’t just exist in DigiWorldz… he gave to it. He built community, he offered shelter, he created belonging. And for those of us blessed enough to know him personally, he offered something even deeper: respect, kindness, and a sense of being seen.

Joe and PreciousRuby were more than friends to me — they were family in the way only virtual worlds can create. They made special exceptions for me, welcomed me into their circle, and trusted me with moments that mattered. One of the greatest honors of my life was standing with them as they rededicated their marriage. They asked me to lead the service… and I did, with all the love and reverence I had. To be their officiant was a privilege I will never forget.

Joe carried a quiet strength — the kind that didn’t need attention or applause. He simply lived with generosity. He gave people homes. He gave people safety. He gave people dignity. And he gave PreciousRuby a love that was gentle, loyal, and deeply rooted.

My heart breaks for her now. Losing a partner is losing a piece of your world, and she is walking through a grief that touches both her real life and her inworld life. I pray she feels surrounded by comfort, by support, and by the love Joe poured into her for so many years. She is not alone. She is held — by God, by community, and by every person Joe touched.

Joe’s passing leaves a silence… but not emptiness. His legacy is kindness. His memory is warmth. His impact is lasting. And the love he shared — with PreciousRuby, with his family, with his friends — continues forward.

Rest in peace, Joe.
Thank you for the home you created, the love you gave, and the lives you lifted. You will never be forgotten.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

💛 Prayer for Joe Dokes & PreciousRuby

Father God,
Tonight we lift up the life of Joe Dokes, a man whose kindness built homes, whose generosity built community, and whose quiet strength touched more hearts than he ever realized. Thank You for the gift of his life — for every moment he offered comfort, every time he made room for someone who needed a place to belong, and every act of love he shared with PreciousRuby and those around him.

Lord, we ask You to wrap PreciousRuby in Your arms right now. Her heart is aching, her world feels shaken, and the silence he leaves behind is heavy. Surround her with Your peace — the kind that steadies trembling hands and breathes calm into the deepest places of grief. Let her feel Joe’s love still present, still warm, still carrying her forward.

Bring comfort to every friend who knew Joe, especially those of us who were blessed to stand with him and PreciousRuby in sacred moments. Heal the places in us that feel the loss. Remind us that love does not end — it transforms, it continues, it becomes legacy.

Lord, let Joe’s memory be a light that never dims. Let his kindness echo. Let his generosity inspire. Let his love remain a shelter for PreciousRuby and all who cherished him.

And tonight, Father, hold us close.
Hold her close.
Hold Joe close in Your eternal rest.

Amen.

Just well letting you all know this project is going exceptionally well. I just added 2 more categories...weopons and Heads & Hats and wel another 100 items of all things. SSSSomething to inspire you to come by and collect things

Bringing some bug fixes !
and a wish for nice week-end.
❤️❤️❤️

💋 BK-Mode fuer Xara – Sonne? Nur Deko.

Wenn Xara auftaucht, wird selbst der Himmel rot vor Aufregung.

Hier wird nicht gebräunt, hier wird geblendet.
Ein Schritt, ein Blick – und die Strandbar vergisst, was sie servieren wollte.

Xara spielt nicht Sommer – sie ist der Grund, warum er bleibt.

XARA Petite **„Diese Looks tun nicht so, als wären sie hier, um zu gefallen.
Sie sind hier, um die Straße wachzurütteln.“**

Sie laufen nicht – sie passieren. Einfach so.
Ein bisschen Paris, ein bisschen „komm klar“, und ganz viel Energie, die man nicht kaufen kann, sondern trägt.

Wer daneben steht, merkt schnell: Das hier ist kein Trend. Das ist eine Ansage.

In my college writing class, we were assigned to write a letter to our future selves, 15 years from now. I am 57, so I wrote to my 72-year-old self. It inspired me to make some images with chatgpt, using current pictures of RL me. I told it to mimic the famous picture of Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin, when the dove landed on him. Now I want to make my avatar look like this! :)

Das Ermächtigungsgesetz von Hitler wurde von allen Parteien unterschrieben. Nur eine Partei hat es nicht unterschrieben - und das waren die Sozialdemokraten. Und die gingen am nächsten Tag zuhauf in die Gefängnisse und Konzentrationslager. Und wenn ich dann sage, die Nationalsozialisten waren auch Sozialisten, dann fälsche ich dieses Geschichtsbild ganz bewusst, um vor einem Wahlkampf Stimmen zu fangen und Leute zu verunsichern. Wenn ein Mensch hingeht und die Sozialisten, die in den Gefängnissen und KZs gesessen haben, mit den Nationalsozialisten vergleicht, dann tut er das wider besseres Wissen. Und das ist eine Brunnenvergifterei übelster Sorte.
Hans-Joachim
Kulenkampff
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hitler's Enabling Act was signed by all parties. Only one party refused to sign it—the Social Democrats. And the very next day, they were sent en masse to prisons and concentration camps. And when I then say that the National Socialists were also socialists, I am deliberately distorting this historical narrative to gain votes and unsettle people before an election campaign. If someone goes and compares the socialists who were imprisoned in jails and concentration camps with the National Socialists, they are doing so knowingly. And that is poisoning the well in the worst possible way. Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff
