THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

It's that time of the year again when OSFest is nearly ready to open the doors of a new grid to exhibitors, merchants, and sponsors to start placing their creations before the official opening on September 15th. I know I've been working on my new exhibit since mid July.

OSFest (OpensimFest) is a big event with tons of exhibits from multiple grids, including individual exhibitors, merchants, and artists, as well as educators and grid owners. Each year they create a grid just for the festival with multiple regions and tons of performers that lasts 2 weeks. At the end they have a large celebration just before the entire grid is taken down until the next year.

If you wish to participate as an exhibitor, performer, or merchant, please go here to register for a parcel: https://www.opensimfest.com then click Register on the top menu line. Once the grid opens you'll receive a parcel number by email.

OSFest sponsors are those who support the grid monetarily to help offset the server and technical costs of running a short-term grid. Their support ensures the grid is free to everyone. If you would like to become a sponsor, go here to register where you can choose a support level you're comfortable with: https://www.opensimfest.com/sponsors

For those of you who would like to attend, you can find the calendar of events here: https://www.opensimfest.com/calendar

Luxor is my home and a place of meditation and mystery for spiritual pilgrims. The region rewards those who are patient, still, and listening, for there are quiet songs that will play at various locations if you stand and wait. Shared environment and higher graphics will complete your experience in this place of Peace. I am here often so please say Hi if you see me

Nothing is currently for sale here but eventually I'll open a little shop of antiquities.

Fred thank you!! We have a beautiful bee to add to our collection! This bee has a built-in AO too, making it super easy to animate! I love this Bee and I love you Ferd! Thank you!! Please stop by to fly the garden! Please stop by to pick up your free BEE!!

Walking through the streets of Birch Grove during Pride month is like stepping into a vivid dreamscape. Rainbow flags sway in harmony with the breeze, adorning storefronts and lamp posts. Thank you @JamieAnnaWright for recognizing that all people matter. https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php/2-uncategorised/...

Just wanted to give a shout out to the team that has made friends-grid totally rock!

Sometimes the techies get overlooked, and they are the people who make this virtual world possible.

friends-grid is not a simple job to run….it is probably a pain in the butt because I have a minor addiction to scripts.

These guys are how I hosted a huge party yesterday with 31 people and 8,000 scripts in that region alone…. with no lag!

Thank you hosting4opensim

@FerdFrederix suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." this is precisely why I adore Fred. I found a really cute ladybug that he helped to animate and for the last two days, I have been carving out a bug paradise where everything is to scale if you were a bug. I have free avatars that Fred gave us, his Rat, Blue Bird, and I am giving the ladybug so that you can experience the garden too. Please make sure you wear the avatars while visiting the 3x3 Region Goliath Gardens I will be adding new avatars too, I found a great praying mantis!! Thank YOU, Ferd!!! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

Skyrealm Observatory...Deep in the heart of a majestic mountain wilderness lies a floating mountain that defies all known laws of gravity and physics. It hovers above the rugged terrain, seemingly suspended in mid-air, and captivates the imagination of all who lay eyes upon it.

As you approach the floating mountain, you can feel the energy pulsing around it. It seems to draw you in, beckoning you to come closer and explore its secrets. The mountain itself is rugged and imposing, with craggy peaks and deep valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see. Despite its daunting appearance, there is a sense of serenity and tranquility that permeates the air, and you feel at peace in its presence.

I invite you to come to experience this peace. Thank you ferd frederix for making dreams come true.

What an awesome memorial day! TJ & I had smoked chicken, boston butt, and pork ribs, with potato salad, slaw, macaroni salad, texas toast, bbq baked beans, sweet tea and pecan pie. Tonight we played the board game clue which i picked up at walmart, along with some uno cards. Then I got busy in the kitchen and made a tiramisu cake, vanilla & chocolate petit fours, and white chocolate chip cookies. I sent TJ to the store for butter pecan icecream and we had a rare sweets supper while playing Clue (tm). Just all in all a fun memorial day!

A newly discovered supernova can be watched as it develops in real-time, online and for free.

This particular galaxy and supernova can be difficult to view in the night sky without the right conditions or telescope, however. Luckily, the Virtual Telescope Project will livestream the cosmic explosion on its website and YouTube channel as it develops via its power robotic telescopes based in Rome, Italy. The online event will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT) on Friday, May 26 2023. Note that this event is weather dependent and could be delayed or cancelled due to poor conditions. https://www.space.com/new-supernova-pinwheel-galaxy-livest...

What is a metaverse? I believe it is a virtual universe, where anything can happen! A place of magic and fun and joy. Just like the real universe the metaverse has many planets (grids) and thanks to the wonderful and amazing work of Sir Fred Beckheusen, the creator of dreamgrid, now anyone can have their own entire planet!
There are currently well over 7,000 planets (grids) in the metaverse! It is more populated than we realize. People from other countries with their own customs, languages, and beliefs have set up their own worlds, for others to explore.
I believe this trend will continue and people will spread out farther than ever before creating their own unique places and leaving an indelible mark of their existence upon the virtual cosmos! A complete decentralization of power and authority. No longer subject to the laws of the lindens and secondLife. No one place having authority over all the others. Everyone is free to explore thousands of worlds and make new friends.
With that said, you may also make a few enemies, but it doesn't matter, even if you get banned from an entire world, there are many thousands more out there... I have been exploring worlds of people I never knew existed, meeting new people, and making new friends.
The metaverse is a new frontier, a decentralized place created for us, and there is room enough in it for everyone, regardless of race, color, sex, sexual preferences, disabilities, and other separatist categories.
Thanks to Fred's brilliant work, setting up a grid in windows is as easy as clicking a button, and filling out a few questions. If you would like to set up your own dreamgrid, or grid on linux and need any help, I will help you. Just find me and send me an IM.

Les couleurs d'opensim changent ! Encore en beta-test, le nouveau viewer de Linden change son modèle colorimétrique. Nous ne savons pas si et quand ces modifications seront portées sur Firestorm. Opensimulator a d'ores-et-déjà intégré les fonctions llLinear2sRGB et llsRGB2Linear. Les testeurs intrépides d'Atlasgrid se sont jetés dessus et les ont décortiquées. Sur le nuancier de gauche, les anciennes couleurs. Sur celui de droite, les nouvelles.
