Tipi Tacos Truck Freebie. I know, more food...lol. Tipi Tacos are an Indigenous fusion cuisine and very popular. Sometimes called "Indian Tacos", Navajo Tacos or Bannock Tacos. Open tacos made on bannock with all the fixings and very delicious. The Tipi Tacos truck is over by the gas station and free to copy/buy for 0 for anyone who wishes for one for their region. In the contents of the object are some separates. this build uses the old Airstream camper trailer from Arcadia Asylum as well as a cool generic soda fountain I found on sketchfab and some veggies:

A bunch of Linda Kellie stuff is in the mix and modded including the shapes used in the food. And of course I made a gluten free option!

I just realized I forgot to put a cash till in it so feel free to add the ones you like or assume Chef June has a secret little cash box or a fanny pack hidden under her apron:)

Deepseek R1 is the Chinese open source LLM which shocked silicon valley. You can run it locally on your computer without internet connection and get also API to connect and develop it on your computer by yourself for all tasks you may want it should do. Right now DeepSeek is the best AI you can get as open source local usable AI. Here a description how to do it. It is working fast even without super Nvidia GPU graphic card and it doesn't need much. Much less than all other as hardware resources.

You can also get DeepSeek with GPT4all and you don't need to have any skills. There were first some problems but now with newest GPT4all it seems all is fixed for DeepSeek.

Looking for buildings to bring a city alive :) I am thinking: police station, fire station, restaurants, bars, stores with stuff in them in short.. scenery for in between the real stores and houses. Any ideas, oh gurus of findstuffz?

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.

When you are sitting alone on your sim and you are not in mood for building stuff, it can be boring. Just waiting that someone visits you? Not really. To go on Lbsa, Darkhearts Plaza or AMV Welcome for socializing? Maybe if people are not afk and just parking their avi there. The 3 places are right now the most visited in opensim but no guarantee to have conversations. I like it to talk with Petula at the beach cafe drinking coffee. Right now on Big City Life the UFO over little New Jersey is theme for everyone in the big city. You can even see from the Park Avenue the UFO from far. So no wonder that we talk about it. But Petula seems not really trained for Ufos. lol Our talk here:
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: what do you know about ufos?
[09:42] Petula: Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
[09:42] Cheryl Furse: Are ufos existing?
[09:42] Petula: I really couldn't say for sure.
The talk was over. Just short small talk and the bus arrived. lol

**** 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 :)

Funsize Dinkies Roadtrip is back after a Christmas Break... Today the Dinkies headed off to Pepperland I & II.
(Can be found at https://opensimworld.com/hop/79336 )

A fantastic Region with lots to see and alot of hard work has gone into the Story being told on there to follow. Pepperland is the creation by Mudpuddle Cleanslate and Chelsea Louloudi, of many scenes from Yellow Submarine... a 1968 British animated musical fantasy comedy film inspired by the music of the Beatles.

The Funsize Dinkies loved the every moment on this Region.

Hello everyone, friends!
We would like to inform you that our Mall will be temporarily closed to the public for expansion work. We are making these improvements primarily for you, who have shown us great affection through your messages of support and encouragement.
We apologize for the inconvenience and assure you that we will reopen as soon as possible.
Wishing you a wonderful day!

The staff at New Life Italy....
