Lunar and Chinese New Year is Wednesday January 29th this year. This year is the Year of the Snake. According to the South China Morning Post "The Snake represents wisdom, knowledge, intelligence, intuition and creativity. Snakes are also associated with good luck, prosperity, fertility and longevity. In some legends, snakes are considered divine messengers and guardians of sacred places. Snakes are also revered for their ability to shed their skin and renew themselves, symbolising transformation and rebirth." There are a few New Year gifts in the Lucky Dragon to be found. There's always a new calendar and this year there's a little plant as well as of course red envelopes and the other goodies. Almost everything in the restaurant, including the restaurant itself is free to copy/buy for 0. So if you'd like a Lucky Dragon for your own little town, assume it's a chain and enjoy. The doors are separates and because of the nature of the mesh building base the kitchen doors are a little trick so grab both sides. You click to sit and end up on a poseball on each side to get through. Happy Year of the Snake!

Highly political. Joe Biden just stutters his memes in his wheelchair and Donald Trump asked me why I don't have the 5th Avenue in my Big City. Now the Trump Tower can't exist on my sim. I would have the Park Avenue and even Madison Avenue but not the 5th Avenue. He believes that the Trump Tower is the greatest of all and it would be a shame that it doesn't exist in my Big City Life.
Anyway. Elon Musk came by coincidence and congratulated me to my AI Research Center and suggested that I should become his consulting assistant for AI research. Trump was a bit astonished and made one condition. If I would build the 5th Avenue with his Trump Tower then it would be ok. lol (in virtual reality all is possible and we are all billionaires lol )

Yesterday I was honored to have Thirza Ember and the awesome HG Safari group visit Aquamica. Thank you to all who came and a reminder to any who visit, you cannot tp a friend to a negative number here. Just rise up off the floor of the ocean and then you can tp others fine. Also, you cannot make lm at a negative number. Rise up off the ocean floor to make lm.

Why are there negative numbers in my ocean depth? It involves a certain blonde bulldozer driver (who is not a goddess) who enjoyed digging a bit too much and screwed up. ; )

Here is a link to my underwater store where most things are now available for you to build your own reef: hop://login.friends-grid.com:8002/Textures%20Trees%2C%20%2...

Feel free to visit and ask our renters how they like living on ansjelagrid.

Way back in the day, people "donated" their likeness to be used as the NPC dance partners that we all know and love. They are stored as simple notecards inside of our dance machines.

What I would like to propose, is a project where people can CONSENTUALLY donate their NPC clone notecard for use in everyone's dance machines. After being checked for quality (no missing parts) they would be available as a collection for anyone to use in their dance machines. I think everyone would appreciate some new NPC partners. :)

I know avatars are deeply personal, and people are sensitive about it. Maybe people can come dressed in an old outfit/look to donate a clone? What I am thinking is a machine that you click, and it asks for permission to clone you. It could be at several locations on different grids. Then we can get together periodically and pool our notecard collections.

About four years ago I found Fred's Gif2SL tutorial and wanted to try it with fish, and it worked perfectly, you can find all sorts of animated fish, bugs, butterflies, etc that you can create beautiful animated gif creatures inworld. It is how I created my ants to walk on my countertop, and here is how:
Check out sites like Giphy for your gifs and save to hard drive, please read directions below.




How to Use GIF2SL to Animate Textures in OpenSim

Animating textures on a prim in OpenSim can add dynamic visuals to your builds, and the GIF2SL app makes it easy to bring GIFs into the virtual world. Follow these simplified steps based on Fred Beckhusen's directions.

Step 1: Download and Install GIF2SL

Download the GIF2SL app from Fred’s site. https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/gif/Create-Gif-in-S...

Extract the downloaded files and ensure the application is ready to use.

Step 2: Convert Your GIF

Open GIF2SL and load your desired GIF file.

The app will automatically extract frames and generate a .png file containing frame data.

Save the output files to a folder for easy access.

Step 3: Upload Frames to OpenSim

Log into OpenSim: Use your viewer to log into the region where you want to use the GIF.

Upload Frames: Upload the PNG frames generated by GIF2SL and name them sequentially (e.g., frame_01, frame_02, etc.).

Step 4: Animate the Texture on a Prim

Rez a Prim: Create a cube or another prim in-world.

Add the generated gif texture to contents, then

Apply a Script: Insert Fred's animation script into prim.

By following these steps, you can bring animated GIFs to life in OpenSim with ease. For more details and troubleshooting, visit Fred’s site linked above.
