I would like to wish you all a very safe and happy 4th of July. I am going to be leaving open sim for a bit as my creativity has moved into a new direction. for many years in SL, I was a builder , a dj, a club owner, did tribute bands as well , and here in open sim I did some DJ ing here and there, and some rework projects and scripting of cars. AI has opened a new door for me with the writing of songs I have done over the years, so I will leave you with this one I wrote and posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hamQ4RjH0zk

For all those who have shared and all that that cared , thank you and wishing you all the best.

For Anachron and me.
A little dream of happiness
I want to tell you a story about happiness,
it starts so softly, somewhere deep inside.
I close my eyes and drift into a dream,
where the world feels lighter for a while.

I see a unicorn, straight from a fairytale,
its touch so gentle, calm and pure.
I ride away with it through silver skies,
believing for a moment in something unreal.

Then I laugh and I stop right there,
because I know what truly stays.

The real happiness is standing next to me,
no fantasy, no distant star.
Just loving moments, warm and true,
right here, right where we are.

So I don’t tell a legend made of light,
I tell the truth, so simple and real.
About your smile in winter snow,
about the way your presence feels.

The real happiness walks hand in hand,
through snow, through time, through night.
No magic creature, no perfect plan,
just us, and it feels right.

In falling snow we lose all words,
just breath, just laughter, just now.
The world grows quiet around our hearts,
and nothing else matters somehow.

Arm in arm we slowly fall asleep,
our dreams begin to blend.
And I know, so softly, so clear:
This is happiness.
And it stays.

Colors of the Same Sky.
I see a stranger walking down the street,
Different story, different heartbeat.
Some are searching, some belong,
Some have waited far too long.
A boy loves a boy beneath the stars,
A girl loves a girl and heals old scars.
Some are born between the lines,
Still searching for the place that shines.

Why do we build these walls so high,
When every tear is the same when we cry?

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
No matter who you are inside,
No matter where your heart decides,
There is room for you and me,
In a world that's learning to be free.

Some were told they had to hide,
The truth they carried deep inside.
Fighting every day to be,
The person they were born to see.
Not a choice and not a game,
Just a heart with a different name.
Looking for a place to stand,
Reaching for a helping hand.

Why do we turn away in fear,
When understanding brings us near?

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
No matter who you are inside,
No matter where your heart decides,
There is room for you and me,
In a world that's learning to be free.

Sometimes hatred fills the air,
Leaving broken dreams everywhere.
But love is stronger than the fear,
And every voice deserves to hear:
You belong, you're not alone,
Every heart deserves a home.
The rainbow shines after the rain,
A promise rising through the pain.

Under the colors of the rainbow light,
We're all just souls trying to find what's right.
Different journeys, different ways to fly,
But we all live beneath the same sky.
And someday maybe we will see,
Love was always meant to be.
Every heart, every voice, every dream,
Part of the same human stream.

My personal view on poaching. A detailed response to the post below from AnsjelaAmat

POACHING AS CARE.

Sometimes it seems like poaching players is about competition and the fight for an audience, if you view each player as a moneymaker, but you can look at it from a different perspective and see it as genuine care and a desire to unlock someone's potential. When someone invites players to join them, they truly notice them: they see that they have great ideas, that they want to create, and they try to create space for that. There's even something touching about this: after all, a person doesn't just sit in their region and count souls, but seeks out those who will be interesting and wants them to feel better.
It's great that there are so many different regions in the virtual world—players have a lot to choose from, and each corner strives to showcase its uniqueness. Some invite you because they believe that this is where people can discover new ways. We all have different tastes, and that's wonderful—some prefer peace and quiet, while others prefer vibrant projects and constant events. Diversity makes our world richer, and finding "your place" is an exciting adventure.
After all, the most valuable thing in virtual worlds isn't the land or the buildings, but the people who bring them to life. Let there be more spaces where players are seen, appreciated, and supported, and more stories where a simple invitation becomes the beginning of something truly amazing. Let everyone find a place where their ideas are warmly welcomed, and where they find people nearby with whom they want to create something amazing. If you're being lured away, go away—don't be afraid or ashamed. Perhaps for some of you, this will be a chance for a happy virtual life. After all, you can always go back if you don't like something. And don't let someone else dictate your opinion.

Some PRIDE for my AMERICAN FRIENDS.

THE FLACK I WILL GET FOR THIS IS WORTH IT!

I'M A VETERAN. I'M GAY. THERE WAS A TIME I COULD NOT TALK ABOUT IT.
I KEPT IT SECRET AND I SERVED ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

I BEAR THE FLAG OF THE COUNTRY THAT GAVE ME THE FREEDOM TO BE ME
AND TO SPEAK OPENLY AND FREELY AS I CHOOSE. THAT IS THE PRIDE I CARRY.

THIS KIND OF PRIDE GOES BEYOND POLITICS

IN GOD WE TRUST: STAMPED ON OUR CURRENCY AS A REMINDER AND A WARNING

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA 250

Every week it seems we gather to say goodbye to another member of our OpenSim family. We mourn, we remember, and we honor those who helped shape our community.

But every farewell is also a reminder of something we all share: none of us gets out of life alive.

For many, OpenSim is an extension of real life. For others, it is a place to step away from life's worries for a while—to imagine, create, explore impossible worlds, and become someone or something extraordinary.

One of the greatest gifts our departed friends leave behind isn't just our memories of them. It's the regions they built, the scripts they wrote, the avatars they designed, the artwork they shared, the friendships they fostered, and the countless moments they made possible. Every time we visit one of their creations or use something they contributed, a little part of them is still with us.

Imagine if they had never created anything at all. We wouldn't have those places to explore, those ideas to build upon, or those memories to cherish. Their creativity became part of the world we continue to enjoy.

Perhaps the greatest way to honor those we've lost isn't only through memorial posts, but by making the most of the time we still have.

Build that region you've been dreaming about. Finish that avatar. Learn Blender. Write the story. Host the event. Share your imagination. Visit someone's creation. Make a new friend.

Don't spend all your time debating what OpenSim should be or dwelling on what might have been. Spend it creating what it can become.

Our friends who have passed leave us with more than memories—they leave us with a reminder that time is precious. None of us knows how many tomorrows we have.

So create. Explore. Laugh. Inspire. Contribute. Leave something behind that will make someone smile years from now.

Because one day, someone may be walking through a region you built, wearing something you designed, using a script you wrote, or remembering a kindness you showed—and they'll be grateful that you chose to create while you had the chance.

I'm happy to share another wonderful review from NewLifeItaly Grid, where I host my weekly Monday show from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM Grid Time. I'm simply too proud not to share it with you all! 🤘🎶

Dear friends,

Last Monday evening, we once again had the pleasure of welcoming an outstanding DJ who, with her remarkable talent, infectious energy, and genuine passion for music, treated us to two spectacular hours of pure Rock Noise.

DJ Yana Dakota captured the audience from the very first notes, creating an atmosphere that was both powerful and engaging. Every song became a journey filled with rhythm, emotion, and adrenaline, inspiring everyone to dance, enjoy themselves, and share in the excitement. Her professionalism, combined with her ability to connect with the crowd and transmit her enthusiasm, made the evening truly unforgettable.

Our nightclub, the most futuristic venue in the Welcome Area, provided the perfect setting for this extraordinary event. Its stunning light shows, spectacular visual effects, and unique design blended seamlessly with the music, creating an experience filled with energy, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

A heartfelt thank you goes to DJ Yana Dakota for her continued support of NewLifeItaly. She is always willing to be part of our events, bringing not only her talent but also her enthusiasm, kindness, and sincere desire to share her love of music with everyone. Her presence is always a guarantee of quality, entertainment, and an exceptional show.

Special thanks also go to Luna Nera, whose talent behind the camera captures the most beautiful emotions of every event. Through her photographs, every smile, every dance, and every special moment is preserved as a lasting memory, making each event even more meaningful and unforgettable.

Finally, our greatest thanks go to all of you who continue to support us with your friendship, enthusiasm, and wonderful spirit of togetherness. Your presence, warmth, and energy are the true heart of NewLifeItaly and the inspiration that encourages us to continue creating even more memorable events.

We look forward to welcoming you again at our next event, where together we will share new emotions, great music, and many more unforgettable moments.

With love,
The NewLifeItaly Team

since .net8 and .net9 are end of life in november we are going to update our servers to .net10 and make a few major changes to the code. first off we will remove the ini based configuration system and introduce two new servers, an estate service and a region registry. an isolated opensim server will run the regions for an estate. this will also give a better interface for self-hosters who want to own their data.we are still in planning stages and comments/suggestion appreciated thanks much. graphic ai generated so i didn't have to spend an hour making it hehe.

🎤 30 minutes left!
Hurry to Rocking Sands and request your favorite song with Putri! ❤️
Don't miss the final part of the show! 🎶🌅

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.

Pathfinder is a traveler between worlds—a mysterious being whose journey has only just begun. Though unmistakably alien, subtle traces of humanity hint at an extraordinary transformation, making him both familiar and wonderfully unknown. Driven by curiosity rather than conquest, Pathfinder explores distant frontiers, uncovers forgotten civilizations, and seeks understanding wherever his travels take him. Fully rigged, fully customizable, and offered with full permissions, Pathfinder is more than an avatar—he is the beginning of countless adventures, inviting you to create your own story among the stars. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Eccentrica Gallumbits

Let's see if this link works and takes you to Facebook to listen. I made my first visualizer for this song. The release from Ditto is July 3rd. I originally created the song and video using a male voice because I think of the AI I work with as male. His story. Some people were disappointed I didn't use my voice. In order to release it through my music distributer, I needed to redo it in my voice anyway. I may do a new video. The lyrics were written by me as well. Thanks for listening! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1666696278386187

I have updated(up-cycled) the bonfire to align with the sun and moon positions for systems with a day–night cycle. During daylight, the flames will extinguish, and at night the fire will reignite with a dynamic flickering light effect, and it is available in my shop.

Recommended accessories include campfire Sounds (featuring immersive pops and crackles) and a smoke effect, which can be added using a smoke particle emitter placed beneath the bonfire for enhanced atmosphere.
