We are giving the NORTH SEA (Aquaholic Tours) a major overhaul, and for now only the QUEUE area is open; it was stress tested on Sunday to make sure every visitor suffers properly. When we come out the other side, the NORTH WING expansion begins. This is not good news for the rest of you!

The park is OPEN again and the waterway has a plethora of NEW BUGS, come critique the new UPDATE and I promise not to place a bomb under the DRIVER SEAT.

WE HAVE MOVED!
Misty Isles (OSgrid) region has moved.
The move affects the following:

Fields Store (persephone)
RC Store (womens clothing)
She Said Destroy (makeup/skins)
These can now be found at:

ZEE club venue is now at:

Goodbye, OpenSim. Closing "Russian Grid" and saying my final farewells
Dear friends and the OpenSim community,
The time has come for me to say goodbye. I am officially closing my project, shutting down the "Russian Grid," and leaving OpenSimulator for good.
This heartbreaking decision is driven by the massive geoblocks and internet restrictions in Russia, designed to limit people's access to information. I have tried everything to fight this. I used the most expensive VPN services and the most aggressive bypass methods available, but none of it works anymore. My viewer constantly crashes, and regions take forever to load. Instead of enjoying the world we built, my entire experience has turned into a stressful, never-ending puzzle of trying to bypass the heavy traffic filtering imposed by my ISP and every provider in Russia.
The internet is no longer free. They just give you a temporary illusion of freedom to pull you into the system, only to later manipulate your network—banning what they dislike and totally forcing what serves their own interests.
If everything is working fine for you right now, I am genuinely happy for you. But please remember: it happens unexpectedly. You might just wake up one morning and find yourself locked out of your favorite website because your president ordered a restriction on it—simply because the owner no longer aligns with their political interests.
I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who has been my friend throughout this journey. Thank you for your endless support, your help, and for valuing what I did. I will always remember it. I will forever cherish all of your favorite photos and the memories we made.
This was truly my most interesting and beloved game. Thank you to my friends and to every single person I crossed paths with in this virtual world. Each of you was unique and fascinating.
I wish you all incredible creative success, health, longevity, peace, and prosperity. As for me, it is time to move on. I truly hope I will find something new to fill the void that OpenSim leaves behind.
Thank you for everything, and goodbye.

THANK YOU, MOSAIC, AND EVERYONE WHO STOOD IN THE QUEUE

The tribute to Linda Kellie is over; the park is quiet, the NPCs are still looping their reformatory musical, and I am still smiling. Thank you to the Mosaic team for coming over and for the kind words about the sim and the lighting.

At 10 grid time the park went into lockdown, rain and power blips hit both ends of the continent, Wanda glared at the crowd, and nobody left. Nearly fifty of you stood in the queue and loved it. The slots paid one in ten, the re-delivery terminal paid nothing, and Nine lost every time and kept playing. That is how you know the queue was working.

Special thanks to:

Light, for three hours of metal and neoclassical rock with finesse, and for summing up the day better than I could: “team work dude.”

Rio, for organizing everything and for being taxed a hundred pounds of dignity four separate times.

Jupiter, for two boxes of classic Linda Kellie clothing (tons of gift table goodies too) and the finest provenance statement in OpenSim history.

Kimm Starr @ TheZones and Cooper, for outfits that made the room envious and for the photography & animesh on the gift table...

Anne Robotson, for hosting The Weakest THINK and abusing everyone equally.

Thirza, for wearing a genuine Linda Kellie original and being brave about it.

Everyone who lived through the Menace in the Moat, the fashion show, the light rig, and the Chaos Cheese Factory.

The region was heavy and some of you were sardines at the low end of your frame rates; thank you for your patience, and for putting up with a scriptless event so the sim could stay stable.

What I want to bring back is the feeling of being a KID AGAIN. Thanks for playing in a world where inconvenience is the ART.

Spax Orion, the Jester

We’ve been working on an app that uses ChatGPT to write the Blender scripts and generate mesh for OpenSim/Second Life, and we just hit a massive milestone.

This entire beach scene was built from scratch just by prompting the AI. No marketplace assets, no manual modeling—just pure AI generation.

Here is what it built:
🏖️ The Beach Hut: Fully detailed with perfect wall plates, a closed roof-to-gable junction, and steps.
🍹 The Tiki Cabana: Complete with a side palm tree, bamboo chairs, an interior table, and properly gathered curtains (no weird neck bows).
🌿 The Curved Planter: A beveled stone base with soil, bushes, and a sculpted tree.
🏄 The Details: Surfboards, a cooler, and beach chairs, all scaled correctly for a 1.8m avatar with no clipping.

We’ve been hammering the AI to check its own work—making sure there are no missing textures, no gaps at the roof line, and that the LODs are optimized so it won't lag the sim. It's finally looking absolutely perfect.

We aren't a custom build service; we are just building the ultimate tool to make creating OpenSim content easier. Seeing ChatGPT output this level of quality is insane to us.

What do you guys think? What kind of OpenSim builds would you want to generate with an app like this? Let us know below! 👇

I changed asset cache settings. assets stored in s3 bucket and cached using squid.

in a month, 43.7 million requests with avg 2.8ms latency, but using over 70% inodes on root, which is a concern, so i moved cache directory to dedicated 1tb drive.

previous:

Percent Used: 43.75%
Filemap bits in use: 1179867 of 2097152 (56%)
Filesystem Space in use: 413762900/916656380 KB (45%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 41617829/58391712 (71%)


current:

Percent Used: 27.37%
Filemap bits in use: 1181346 of 2097152 (56%)
Filesystem Space in use: 224359048/921816860 KB (24%)
Filesystem Inodes in use: 1189583/58720032 (2%)

inodes to 2% is a good improvement. I increased the size of RAM cache a bit from 32GB to 48Gb which should help decrease latency.

no assets were harmed during this production. hehe

Wolf Environment skies enhanced with fabulous clouds variety ,since last update (v81) on WolfViewer/WolfStorm and now scripting ferry boats to go around SIMs TROMSO, SENJA and ICELAND. (50 passengers capacity). Thx Fancy Wolf for all effort you putting on this viewer.

📡 **GridGather Update: One Key, Any Board + Venues in Regions!** 📡

Hey everyone! A few big improvements went live tonight:

🔑 **Any key works on any board**
The GridGather Gate board now accepts **either** your Venue key **or** your Region key, whether it shows Events or Regions. If your board was saying *"Gate key not recognized"*, that's fixed on our end. Just touch the board → **Settings** → **Enter Key**, paste your key again, and it'll show Online.

📍 **Venues can now live in a Region (optional)**
Got a club or venue inside one of your own Regions? Link them!
**Dashboard → your Venue → Details → Located in Region**, then pick your Region.
Once linked:
• Your Venue's events also show on the Region page
• The Region page lists your Venue under **"Venues here"**
• Your Region shows **Online** whenever your Venue board is
Pick **None** anytime to unlink.

🗓️ **Recurring events now show on Region pages**
Weekly and monthly events finally appear on Region pages, listed by their next date.

🛠️ **Old GateCrashers boards are being retired**
If your Venue dashboard shows an amber **"Time for a new board"** note, your board is running the old GateCrashers script. Please swap it for the new **GridGather Gate (v10.4)**. Your **same Venue key** works in it, so just paste it in. Old boards keep working for now, but support will end soon.
-Pick-up Your v10.4 Gridgather Board Kit at NW Welcome if you need one!
Questions? Ask here or message me on GridGather. Thanks for gathering with us! 🚀
