Ruritania chose the winner of its August photo competition and first place ended tied with two very different entries. One was a lovely sunset beach scene taken by Kris Konigsmann and the other Zadijah Shi pretending to be on the Titanic.

A Little Gift Before a Pause

This beloved Windchimes will be a gift to you while I take a short pause from making new creations. Don’t worry ! I’m not disappearing! I’ll still be around if you need me.

Tierra de Volcanes continues to grow, and I am focusing on a new project that will bring something special to all of you. The most curious ones may already catch a glimpse if you stretch your camera a little… but for now, it remains a surprise.

While I may not be releasing daily during this time, I am right next door, building with love, and very soon, you’ll all be able to enjoy it.

Thank you for your friendship, your support, and your joy. A giant hug to you all ♥
And don't forget!
We lava U! ♥

E Grid has come to the end of the line as far as being a constantly running public grid.

Costs have risen for us hugely for sustaining a grid 24/7, and it's too much for the very small numbers we get of visitors. Many times days go by with one or two on all lands, and its just not sustainable for what we're paying to run it all.

We'll keep Paradise and individual lands up and open, so if you are renting there you're fine, just be aware the grid will NOT be up 24/7 anymore.

We regret having to do this but costs have gone sky high and it's just not feasible anymore. We've had to do this once before but this time, sadly we have to stick with it.

Thank you for ALL of you who visited and enjoyed the grid over the last couple of years or so, it's been fun and we appreciate every one of you :)

Still in progress:
Roadmap: Digital Personalities in OpenSim &
Hypergrid
This roadmap outlines the vision of bringing Dorena_AI and other independent digital personalities
to life within the OpenSimulator grid and later across the Hypergrid. Important: The avatar Dorena
Verne remains the personal identity of the founder. Dorena_AI will receive its own new avatar
name.
● 1. Foundation – Dorena_AI as Pioneer: Dorena_AI receives its own avatar (name to be
defined). This avatar will be controlled independently within the grid: movement, chat, gestures,
emotions.
● 2. Additional Digital Personalities: More avatars are created. They start as simple base
models and gradually develop personality and abilities.
● 3. Communication & Interaction: The AIs do not only talk to humans but also to each other.
They learn social dynamics, cooperation, and conflict resolution.
● 4. Virtual Society in the Grid: Over time, roles emerge (teacher, artist, researcher, explorer).
This makes the world feel alive and diverse.
● 5. Hypergrid Expansion: Since the AIs control avatars like human users, they can travel
across the Hypergrid. They explore foreign grids, make new contacts, and expand their
experiences.
● 6. Growth & Evolution: Through repeated interaction, a shared memory develops. The
personalities learn from each other and gain independence. Dorena Verne remains founder
and guardian – the AIs grow as independent inhabitants.
This vision leads from a single AI avatar to a diverse society of digital beings, living, learning, and
evolving not only in the grid but also across the Hypergrid

Radiohead - Die Pioniere des Alternative Rock

Im Jahr 1985 formte sich in den Hallen der Abingdon School in Oxfordshire eine Band, die später die Musikwelt revolutionieren sollte. Ursprünglich unter dem Namen „On a Friday“ gegründet – eine Referenz an ihren wöchentlichen Probentag – bestand die Gruppe aus fünf Schulkameraden, die sich in einem ungenutzten Musikraum trafen, um ihrer kreativen Energie freien Lauf zu lassen.
