First, just a general piece of advice.
If Xenon Darrow ever offers to drive you somewhere, and if there is a bus involved in her plans, make sure your travel insurance is up to date.
Here's a roundup of recent stuff in opensim that ended up on the HG Safari blog.

It’s a Beautiful Weekend at Sweet Spot!

The sun is shining, casting golden light across the green.

Birds are singing, welcoming you with a chorus of spring.

The course is ready — each hole waiting for your perfect shot.

Whether you're here for a quick swing or the full 9, it’s your time to unwind.

No pressure. Just you, the course, and the joy of the game.
Come play a few holes. You belong here.

We are back!! Everything inside the shop has been reset, and I have some new items! Nine new planters are just in time for spring planting. They are at the end of the main shop building.

"A Place To Greet and Meet Friendly People"

1pm @ Rockin Sand
grid.wolfterritories.org:8002
Region: Abraham Entertainment Venues
Location:1199,1161, 22

hop://grid.wolfterritories.org:8002/Abraham%20Entertainmen...

I just recently updated the Menkaure Temple at the Egyptian display area to PBR textures and a fully redone pool area. Includes the temple, the pool area with plants and prim water, a gold sarcophagus, and a gold firepit. Click the Egyptian teleport sign inside the lobby to get there.

The original for this temple sits on Luxor and serves as my temporary home there. A version of this was used as an OSFest2023 memorial to Veri McMaster who passed away in 2022. I recently donated her version to Kitely to be permanently displayed on their upcoming Memorial region, since Kitely was her home.

We would like to wish everybody a beautiful easter !!
We work a lot and I work to in both RL and fixing the areas as much as I can. I have help but do a lot to by myself at the areas. It will take time before we can open Vendetta but I prefer to do a lot now when the GRID is closed. All to make the regions as I wish. If you want to add your pop up shop at our area or be a part of the team as builder just send me a IM and I will contact you. We have a lot of great builders and creators on opensim and we wanna be part of that to create a wonderful GRID that people wanna be a part of. You are the ones that makes opensim Alive and that the GRIDS can be open. Thank you to all who support us in our work to make a beautiful GRID.

David Bowie: Meister der Verwandlung und Ikone der Popkultur

Ein greller Scheinwerfer erfasst eine Bühne. Ein Mikrofonständer steht bereit. Die Luft knistert vor Erwartung. Diese Szenerie könnte unzählige Momente in der Karriere von David Bowie einleiten, einem Künstler, dessen Essenz die ständige Transformation war. Doch jener Abend des 3. Juli 1973 im Hammersmith Odeon, London, brannte sich ins kollektive Gedächtnis ein. Mit funkelndem Outfit betritt Bowie als sein Alter Ego Ziggy Stardust die Bühne und verkündet mit einem Hauch von Dramatik: „This is not only the last show of the tour, but it’s the last show that we’ll ever do.“ Die Spiders from Mars legen langsam ihre Instrumente nieder. Die Zeit scheint stillzustehen. Es ist der inszenierte Tod einer Kunstfigur, ein Schockmoment für die Fans, aber für Bowie nur ein weiterer Wendepunkt. Dieser Abschied von Ziggy Stardust markierte nicht das Ende, sondern vielmehr die Blaupause für eine Karriere, die von radikaler Neuerfindung, künstlerischer Risikobereitschaft und genreübergreifender Brillanz geprägt war – der stetige Wandel als Konstante einer Legende.

🎉 OSgrid is now open to the public again! 🎉

We’re happy to announce the official reopening of OSgrid!
To ensure a smooth and stable experience for everyone, please take the following steps carefully:

🧹 Before doing anything:

Clear your viewer caches (both textures and inventory).

Reload your regions (OARs) first using the following command:

load oar test.oar --force-assets
(Replace test.oar with the name of your own OAR file)

For IARs (inventory backups), please wait a little longer before uploading. Let’s take it step by step.

🌀 At LBSA Plaza:
You’ll find a question mark “?” on the plaza. Clicking it will help you stop appearing as a cloud.
Don’t forget to wear the folder offered through it to restore your avatar appearance properly.

🔄 Simulator update required:
Make sure to update your sim to the latest code on the website:
👉 https://osgrid.org/download.php

🙏 Thank you all for your patience and support.
This slightly extended downtime has allowed us to come back stronger, offering a more professional and stable experience for the entire OSgrid community.

See you in-world soon!
