Opensim is so much more than the hatey-whiney folk who so often try to dominate the front page of this site with their pointless drama, and then (which is really low rent) blame their health when they get called on it.
If you're an emotional adult, you may find the following news from around Opensim interesting. We are at the halfway point of this HG Safari season, here are a few recent posts you may have missed.

And....we are OPEN!!! Mermaid's Cove Costume Shop is BACK with new costumes, boxes and boxes of Halloween decorations and more! These are costumes gathered for years from all around the hypergrid! I put out a box of LMs to other grids and regions that have costumes too so if you don't see what you are looking for, grab those LMs! I have more in inventory too so let me know if you are looking for something special! I may have it!
Be creative! Mix and match! Use accessories to make your costume different! I'll be adding a few more things (I lost a LOT when OSG went down so have to bring them in from other avies) and if you have costumes you'd like to share, please send them to me and I'll add them to the shop! Have costumes on your region? Send me the LM and I'll add it! Have fun and happy PRE-Halloween!
Stay tuned for announcements of Halloween parties and the cove!
Hugggs! Harmony and Jojo

Today's Irresistible New Arrivals from Sciattisi

Hello, creative! Get ready to fall in love with our latest "Art Cutter" collection... yes, the name is curious, but trust us, the contents are absolutely useful (and elegant too!).

A sturdy desk, perfect for hosting all your brilliant ideas (or incomprehensible cryptography, but those work well too).

3 sets of brushes: soft, colorful, and ready to transform every smudge into "abstract art" (you'll even say it's intentional).

Tempera paints to match every color fantasy—from shocking pink to deep ocean blue, not to mention the shades in between that only your imagination can invent.

2 wall-mounted tempera paint collectors.

A comfortable, friendly-designed chair: sophisticated enough to make you look like a pro, yet cozy enough to make you feel right at home.

All this, with the materials included (no, we didn't hide anything in the corner—I swear!), awaits you at Sciattisi.

Pssst… come and discover how a simple space can become a creative game. And yes, we say it with a smile—because here, even the most lopsided color has a reason to exist.

So about all this theft of stolen goods ... I have rebuilt regions from my saved oars, and in the process inadvertently losing the original creator (uploader ... thief? ) information, so now my name appears as creator. My stuff is mostly free to copy but I don't run a store or offer support. I don't even remember where in the hypergrid most of it came from. While I apologize to those who did the hard work ripping and fixing , at the same time I am grateful to be able to tweak and modify, share and transfer to my hearts content. This is why i am in opensim.

I run a successful business in SL, and have seen some of my created goods from SL appearing in here. So what - I.m not losing sales by being ripped, nor is anyone making money in here with my stolen creations. I realize the fuss in here is about Fame (since money has little meaning in opensim) so this is my disclaimer. Sorry if my name appears on 'your' stuff.

First, just a general piece of advice.
If Xenon Darrow ever offers to drive you somewhere, and if there is a bus involved in her plans, make sure your travel insurance is up to date.

**** OPENSIM Grandpiano V3 - Updated Release! ****

What's New:
• Fixed last UUID sound issue (to improve performance in OpenSim).
• Piano dialog now visible to everyone (not just the owner).
• New "ALL" notecard to play all 40 tracks in sequence (*).
• Improved sound quality with louder and stereo output.


(*) It takes on average 02 minutes to load them all and there is a 10 seconds pause between a music to another.

Special thanks for Clifford Hangar, owner of ALTERNATE METAVERSE GRID (AMV) who kindly helped me with this script and I could share to Opensim citizens,

Enjoy :)

Jimmy Olsen

All this talk about my work as being poor quality crap gave me inspiration! It is true many creations are just that Poor Quality Crap! Who needs it? YOU Do! so we formed a new group where you can find all sorts of Free Crap https://opensimworld.com/groups/1078 Our first giveaway @JamieAnna Wright kindly offers to you! Be prepared and don't forget the poop scoop!

Sometimes when you start to build you think, I don't think I can ever do this. But as you build, it begins to come alive and you're inspired and encouraged and it becomes a work of love. I have a love for ancient cultures and their architecture and customs and Japan is one of my favorites. A culture rich in traditions, customs, values and beliefs that are the heartbeat of the nation still today. This is Morisato Palace, Morisato means "flowing with or full of wisdom". It will be the central build of a new Japanese region I'm working on. When it's ready I'll put out a beacon and open the gates. For an idea of the size of this palace, that's me in the front of it in the pink top, the little white haired spot LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.
