A little sneak preview of something I'm working on on a region not yet ready to showcase. Focail na mban means women's words in Irish.

Women’s Words is in the works to put Irish women writers into the spotlight; a spotlight that has too long been occupied by Irish men. The goal of focail na mban is to explore contemporary women's writing in Ireland through a diverse intersectional lens. The shop will feature different writers in rotation and offer a deep dive into their lives and work.

Happy International Women's Day!

It’s a night of jazz, a night of rhythm, a night to remember, Fri., March 7th at 6:00 PM grid time. And taking center stage is none other than DJ Rosa Alekseev, ready to give you a performance like no other! Come as you are or dress in costume!

Honored to be featured in the Winter 2025 edition of Virtual Education Journal along with @CherryManga and others. There are several great articles, including an interview with Lone Wolf and Xenon Darrow of Wolf Territories Grid, and one on the Opensim Worlds Fair which goes through March 31st.

You can read the Journal here: https://virtualeducationjournal.com/previous-issues/

You can get info on the Fair here: https://www.opensimworldsfair.com/

The first issue of 2025 is out, the Winter Issue of Virtual Education Journal! The Journal (VEJ) was mainly a Second Life Publication, but the new Editors decided to expand into many different virtual platforms including OpenSim. Which is great for us. Check it out here. FYI, the summer edition is going to be all about OpenSim, so if you want to write an article go to the back page of the journal, all of the submission info is there. https://virtualeducationjournal.com/

Remove objects from your inventory that have the same name, keeping the object with the last date.
Delete Duplicates in opensim database

DELETE ii1
FROM
inventoryitems ii1
INNER JOIN (
SELECT
inventoryName,
MAX(creationDate) AS max_creation_date
FROM
inventoryitems
GROUP BY
inventoryName
) ii2 ON ii1.inventoryName = ii2.inventoryName AND ii1.creationDate < ii2.max_creation_date;

Please backup your inventory first!!! Just in case you are not happy with the results. It really will do what it says. However, there is a case where a person has merged their inventory multiple times and duplicates have the same creation date. In that case the script would leave those duplicates. Be sure to write down the size of your inventory when you start, and note the size after you run the script.

Dear Friends of the Virtual Carnival,

What an incredible time we have had! Once again, we were able to celebrate an unbelievably beautiful carnival in the Pangea Grid together. It was a festival of colors, imagination, and pure joy. One of the undisputed highlights was our Rose Monday parade, where creativity and community spirit came together in a truly impressive way.

A huge thank you goes to all those who, with tireless dedication and boundless imagination, built the incredibly creative floats, airplanes, UFOs, and many other wonderful constructions. You transformed the Pangea Grid into a true carnival spectacle and brought joy to countless people!

We are especially delighted that so many external grids joined us again this year, making our carnival an even more diverse and exhilarating event. A heartfelt thank you to Soul Grid, Monroose Grid, Nabila Grid, CCI Bikerworld, SoA.Bad and SINAS.S, HG Safari, and Loru.Destiny from the Grid artdestiny! Your participation has once again enriched and brought life to this Rose Monday parade.

I would also like to extend a special thank you to Abraxas and Lilie Oller, Bink Draconia, Finja and Jason Flux, Tutz, Lampithaler and Reyno Parx, Lilly Topas, Kitty Sarrasine,, and all the many dedicated participants who made this carnival what it was: an unforgettable experience!

As we cherish the memories of this wonderful carnival in our hearts, we already look ahead: Next year, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Cologne Virtual Carnival! A very special jubilee that we will mark with even more brilliance, even more magic, and even more enthusiasm. The anticipation is already immense!

With a short video insight, I bid you farewell and say from the bottom of my heart Thank you! For your enthusiasm, your creativity, and your love for the carnival. Without you, this festival would not be the same!

Three cheers from the heart: Kölle Alaaf! Pangea Alaaf! Virtual Carnival Alaaf!

With carnival greetings and full of excitement for next year,

Yours, Marlon Wayne

Liebe Freunde des virtuellen Karnevals,

was für eine grandiose Zeit liegt hinter uns! Auch in diesem Jahr durften wir gemeinsam einen unglaublich schönen Karneval im Pangea Grid erleben. Es war ein Fest der Farben, der Fantasie und der puren Lebensfreude. Einer der unbestrittenen Höhepunkte war unser Rosenmontagsumzug, bei dem sich Kreativität und Gemeinschaftssinn auf beeindruckende Weise vereinten.

Ein riesiges Dankeschön gebührt all jenen, die mit unermüdlichem Einsatz und grenzenloser Vorstellungskraft die unfassbar kreativen Wagen, Flugzeuge, UFOs und viele andere wunderbare Konstruktionen gebaut haben. Ihr habt das Pangea Grid in ein wahres Narrenschiff verwandelt und damit unzähligen Menschen Freude bereitet!

Besonders freuen wir uns, dass auch in diesem Jahr wieder zahlreiche auswärtige Grids teilgenommen haben, was unseren Karneval zu einem noch vielfältigeren und mitreißenderen Ereignis gemacht hat. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an das Soul Grid, das Monroose Grid, das Nabila Grid, CCI Bikerworld, SoA.Bad und SINAS.S, die HG Safari sowie Loru.Destiny aus dem Grid Artdestiny! Eure Teilnahme hat diesen Rosenmontagszug wieder einmal bereichert und mit Leben gefüllt.

Ebenso möchte ich mich ganz besonders bei Abraxas und Lilie Oller, Bink Draconia, Finja und Jason Flux, Tutz Zabelin, Lampithaler und Reyno Parx, Lilly Topas, Kitty Sarrasine und all den vielen engagierten Teilnehmern bedanken, die diesen Karneval zu dem gemacht haben, was er war: ein unvergessliches Erlebnis!

Und während wir diesen wundervollen Karneval nun in unseren Herzen bewahren, richten wir den Blick bereits nach vorne: Nächstes Jahr feiern wir das 20-jährige Bestehen des Kölner virtuellen Karnevals! Ein ganz besonderes Jubiläum, das wir mit noch mehr Glanz, noch mehr Magie und noch mehr Begeisterung begehen werden. Die Vorfreude darauf ist jetzt schon riesig!

Mit einem kleinen Video-Einblick verabschiede ich mich und sage von Herzen Danke! Für eure Begeisterung, eure Kreativität, eure Liebe zum Karneval. Ohne euch wäre dieses Fest nicht dasselbe!

Dreimol vun Hätze: Kölle Alaaf! Pangea Alaaf! Virtueller Karneval Alaaf!

Mit karnevalistischen Grüßen und voller Vorfreude auf das nächste Jahr, euer Marlon Wayne

I decided to migrate my regions from OSGrid to my own private grid so I do not depend of anyone, took me some hours to set up the configuration with the HyperGrid but I did finally. I really appreciate to the OSGrid team all the effort on all these past years, when I connected my project on their grid back in 2019 allowed me to show my project which I started back in 2011, but after a long time thinking about it and learning more about how it works the Hypergrid and to setup it, I was able finally to do it and perfom the test from the outside (with a account I created on other grid), I'll connect some of my the others regions in several hours (the speedway), and I'll balance better the load of all the regions in several servers over the time since it also runs now the ROBUST. Still need to work on the backups tasks, uptimes checkers. The construction of the city, is still ongoing, and I do it when I have free time, motivation and I'm inspired (since I want to do the buildings and all in a good way, I mean, not all the same, all differents with unique things even some share the same initial design), and also the city is not only on the surfarce, I build also under what can be seen on the map. Initially I wanted to do this way, but since I didn't know nothing about Hypergrid and how to setup back in 2019, never tried, until these last days when I started to see how to configure it.

No need to check your radio—Fri., March 7th, at 12:00 PM grid time tune in as Mike Lorrey brings his country vibes to keep us moving! Let’s get this party started! Come on over to the OpenSim Worlds Fair.
