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.

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.

Sie sind Pioniere, die die Grenzen des Hörbaren ausloten und ihre Zuhörer auf Reisen in unbekannte Bewusstseinszustände mitnehmen. Eine solche Formation ist zweifellos Brainticket.

See you there :-))

A while back, someone posted about a veterinarian's clinic that they made. I am hoping I can find it again. I had an idea to run an "animal clinic" where people can take in their scripted animals and we will fix the scripts if they are lag-causing. Usually it is just a timer interval that is too short. I think it would be fun to make it like a monthly party/event. Maybe we can have NPC Saint Francis bless the animals after. lol

It is the witching time when all the shadows gather.
Step into Wednesday at Midnight—a spooky world where Beetlejuice meets the Addams Family. Under the light of a full moon, mystery and mischief unfold. Witches, tricksters, and oddities wait in the fog, while the surreal atmosphere pulls you deeper into the night.

Enter if you dare. Stay if you can.

🩷 X-Petite by BK-Mode – Klein? Vielleicht. Wirkung? Gigantisch.

Vier Looks, vier Provokationen – jedes Outfit ein Widerspruch auf zwei Beinen. Hier wird nicht kombiniert. Hier wird kuratiert.

🔸 Crop & Clash: Pinker Tiefschnitt trifft schwarze Powerpants – ein Outfit wie ein Konter.

🔸 Jogger Riot: Sportlich? Ja. Bequem? Auch. Aber mit Jacke, die aussieht wie ein Farbgewitter auf Speed.

🔸 Rainbow Raw: Pant und Top in Regenbogenoptik – nicht für den Strand, sondern für Statements ohne Worte.

🔸 Iridescent Impact: Glitzerndes Minikleid, das nicht funkelt, sondern flimmert – wie ein Gedanke, der nicht zu greifen ist.

🎯 X-Petite ist kein Stil. Es ist ein Störsignal. Für Avatare, die nicht gefallen wollen – sondern auffallen. Für Körper, die nicht viel Raum brauchen, um alles zu sagen.

Tango is a sensual, emotional, and personal dance that connects people through dance as a means of expression.
Argentine tango is one of the most romantic, elegant, and sensual dances in the world. Its intimacy has led to it being called "a secret dance between two people." It is a way of life, an expression of identity, and a cultural dialogue manifested in music, dance, poetry, and song. It has become a symbol of Argentine culture, recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

Looks like OpenSim users are getting increasingly anxious that e.g. Mississippi and UK law enforcement will kill every last OpenSim grid on the grounds of their age verification laws, what with none of them having verified the real-life age of all their users. Even if a grid runs in Kazakhstan under a Russian domain with a Kazakh and Russian admin team.

"This will so totally happen!"

The self-same people, however, appear not to be afraid at all that Linden Lab and SL content creators will kill ANY OpenSim grid on the grounds of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, what with almost all of them blistering with stolen SL content. Not even if a grid runs in the USA under a US domain with an all-American admin team.

"This will so totally NEVER happen!"

Pray tell, why should the former wipe OpenSim out in no time while the latter hasn't even happened to one measly OpenSim grid in over ten years of copybotting tons of expensive premium luxury content in SL and offering it in OpenSim as full-perm freebies? Not even after these announcements by Linden Lab themselves from early this year?
https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2025/01/linden-lab-sl-ip-rights-...
https://avadelaney.co.uk/musings/a-message-to-sl-content-t...

Oh, and OpenSim cannot survive without selling the most private personal data of every last one of its users to some big, commercial, corporate age-verification service? But at the same time, OpenSim cannot survive either without breaking international copyright and intellectual property laws left and right?

Oh, and by the way: The most that Mississippi and the UK can do against a grid is try to fine it. The most that Linden Lab can do against a grid is Cease & Desist it out of existence.
