OverWatch Sentry v 37. A bug was found in the code by "theprinceofamor". It's on line # 481, instead of an if statement it should say "else if". This prevented the whitelist for dinkies and other approved 'shorties' from working. It is now fixed. Please get your copy at Wizardry in the cyberdatastorm.com grid, or just change line 481 yourself. Thank you.

Hypergrid International Expo opens this Friday and sessions start Saturday in multiple languages!

Had a great visit with the HG Safari group yesterday at Luxor. Love hanging with those guys 🙂 You can see the blog post here: https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2023/09/luna-see.html

Next event at Luxor will be the inaugural gala at the Lotus Club on Saturday October 14th at 2 pm grid time, featuring Austin Moores live. The Lotus Club occupies the top two levels of the central pyramid.

A little something I made to enjoy on your region, it's not perfect but it sure is fun! A vintage hot air balloon with basket and chairs to sit while you ride and enjoy your region or give a balloon tour of your region. It is C/M/T and waiting just for you in the "Patio & Outdoor" department of our Star Jinn Palisade Mall in our Masala Al Kohav region. Blessings and much love, Lavia

One of my older builds from the former grid though I've made some adjustments and added a couple things and now it's ready for you to give it a home in your beautiful region. This fine church comes with a few decorations, working doors and pews with sits. It is C/M/T though some of the mesh parts may not be agreeable to retexture. I hope you will enjoy it as it would be a gorgeous place for a wedding, baptism, Sunday service, or even a comforting place to hold a memorial service. You can find it here at the Star Jinn Palisade Mall in the Masala Al Kohav region. I look forward to building more for you to enjoy. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Goliath Gardens where you can become the bug, be careful of Emily though...


In a quiet corner of her family's backyard, Emily, a curious young girl with an insatiable appetite for learning, had embarked on her latest scientific inquiry. Armed with a magnifying glass and a boundless fascination for the natural world, she had become an amateur entomologist, devoting her time to the study of insects that inhabited the small ecosystem in her garden.

On this sunny afternoon, Emily's attention was captivated by a gleaming magnifying glass her grandmother had given her. She had heard tales of how sunlight could be harnessed as a powerful tool for investigation, and she couldn't resist the urge to experiment.

Emily decided to investigate the effects of focusing sunlight through her magnifying glass onto the tiny creatures that populated the leaves and flowers. She had a sense that this investigation might uncover something remarkable, and she was determined to document her findings.

With steady hands and a child's boundless curiosity, Emily positioned the magnifying glass between the blazing sun and a hapless ant that was going about its daily business. As the concentrated sunlight passed through the glass, it formed a pinpoint beam that bathed the unsuspecting ant in intense heat and light.

To her amazement, Emily observed the ant's reaction. It scurried frantically, its tiny legs moving in a blur, desperately seeking refuge from the intensified sunlight. The beam acted like a miniature solar oven, raising the temperature around the ant significantly. Emily realized that the magnifying glass could concentrate sunlight to a level that was uncomfortably hot for the insect.

Emily's experiments continued, and she began to notice other effects on various insects. Some insects, like butterflies and bees, seemed to be more resilient and could quickly escape the focused sunlight, while others, like smaller ants and beetles, were particularly susceptible to the heat.

As Emily meticulously documented her observations, she pondered the ecological significance of her findings. She wondered if insects had developed adaptations to avoid or tolerate the concentrated sunlight. Her research prompted questions about the role of natural selection in shaping the behaviors and physiology of insects in response to environmental factors like sunlight.

Emily's backyard experiments not only fueled her passion for entomology but also sparked her imagination about the intricate web of interactions in the natural world. As she continued her studies, she hoped that her discoveries would contribute to our understanding of insects' fascinating adaptations and behaviors under the unrelenting gaze of the sun.

In her quest to uncover the secrets of the miniature world in her backyard, Emily exemplified the spirit of scientific exploration, reminding us that even the simplest tools, like a magnifying glass and sunshine, can reveal wonders hidden in plain sight. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

My Grid recorder project. This project is one where you wear an attachment and when you go to other grids, it gets the name and address of the grid and saves it to a list. Unfortunately it's not very useful as many of the grids I go to have scripts turned off, in which case it doesnt work at all. Or... the hud gets reset on the journey there and doesn't work. So far in the past 2 years I've got a total of 9 grids in the list, although I have been to many many more grids. Thank you for all the nice people I've met out there and the many good people I have met and made friends with. If you are interested in this project for whatever reason, you need to make a website where you can run the php script and you need to wear an attachment that can get the name of the grid and send it to the list in the table. Maybe somebody can think of a use for it.

THE JOYS OF DREAMGRID. DreamGrid is a software by Fred Beckheusen that makes it super easy to set up your own grid on windows. Having your own grid means that you can back up your lands at a whim, or on a schedule you set. You also have the power to back up your own inventory. Why is this important? When a grid is down for maintenance you are at the mercy of other people relying on their timeline to get the grid back up and running. Having your own grid also lets you control your own npc's, and gives you vast amounts of power that you don't have if someone else is in charge. If you have a problem with a person you can block their entire grid, or just that person if you don't like them. You can create and control tides, and automate birds flying in the air. Another super cool feature dreamgrid has, is that it lets you just start up the regions people are in, or going to. This means you can have 500 different lands, but if only 10 people are on your grid, then only up to 10 would be active. So basically as people teleport around your 500 lands, only the lands they teleport to instantly load for them to enjoy. This gives you a vast amount of options. DreamGrid even comes with hundreds of ready-made lands you can click and install and instantly enjoy. It also means that you can run hundreds of regions on a small not very powerful computer at your home, as only the active regions people teleport to will be running.
DreamGrid has so many many options and features, to many to mention... That you don't have access to or even dream about if you are a member of someone elses grid. It's easy to run. Now of course there will be some people who have difficulty starting a program or are just technically dumb who will complain about dreamgrid, but these people really shouldn't be allowed near a computer in the first place. DreamGrid is dead simple to operate and has features such as auto restart a crashed region, auto restart all regions at a certain time similiar to secondLife's rolling restarts, and of course the ability to backup all your hard work and your precious inventory at a moments notice. Put it on an external drive and you will never again lose all your data. So give DreamGrid a try! It really is a work of art that deserves praise and recognition.

It's that time of the year again when OSFest is nearly ready to open the doors of a new grid to exhibitors, merchants, and sponsors to start placing their creations before the official opening on September 15th. I know I've been working on my new exhibit since mid July.

OSFest (OpensimFest) is a big event with tons of exhibits from multiple grids, including individual exhibitors, merchants, and artists, as well as educators and grid owners. Each year they create a grid just for the festival with multiple regions and tons of performers that lasts 2 weeks. At the end they have a large celebration just before the entire grid is taken down until the next year.

If you wish to participate as an exhibitor, performer, or merchant, please go here to register for a parcel: https://www.opensimfest.com then click Register on the top menu line. Once the grid opens you'll receive a parcel number by email.

OSFest sponsors are those who support the grid monetarily to help offset the server and technical costs of running a short-term grid. Their support ensures the grid is free to everyone. If you would like to become a sponsor, go here to register where you can choose a support level you're comfortable with: https://www.opensimfest.com/sponsors

For those of you who would like to attend, you can find the calendar of events here: https://www.opensimfest.com/calendar

Luxor is my home and a place of meditation and mystery for spiritual pilgrims. The region rewards those who are patient, still, and listening, for there are quiet songs that will play at various locations if you stand and wait. Shared environment and higher graphics will complete your experience in this place of Peace. I am here often so please say Hi if you see me

Nothing is currently for sale here but eventually I'll open a little shop of antiquities.

Fred thank you!! We have a beautiful bee to add to our collection! This bee has a built-in AO too, making it super easy to animate! I love this Bee and I love you Ferd! Thank you!! Please stop by to fly the garden! Please stop by to pick up your free BEE!!

Walking through the streets of Birch Grove during Pride month is like stepping into a vivid dreamscape. Rainbow flags sway in harmony with the breeze, adorning storefronts and lamp posts. Thank you @JamieAnnaWright for recognizing that all people matter. https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php/2-uncategorised/...

Just wanted to give a shout out to the team that has made friends-grid totally rock!

Sometimes the techies get overlooked, and they are the people who make this virtual world possible.

friends-grid is not a simple job to run….it is probably a pain in the butt because I have a minor addiction to scripts.

These guys are how I hosted a huge party yesterday with 31 people and 8,000 scripts in that region alone…. with no lag!

Thank you hosting4opensim

@FerdFrederix suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." this is precisely why I adore Fred. I found a really cute ladybug that he helped to animate and for the last two days, I have been carving out a bug paradise where everything is to scale if you were a bug. I have free avatars that Fred gave us, his Rat, Blue Bird, and I am giving the ladybug so that you can experience the garden too. Please make sure you wear the avatars while visiting the 3x3 Region Goliath Gardens I will be adding new avatars too, I found a great praying mantis!! Thank YOU, Ferd!!! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

Skyrealm Observatory...Deep in the heart of a majestic mountain wilderness lies a floating mountain that defies all known laws of gravity and physics. It hovers above the rugged terrain, seemingly suspended in mid-air, and captivates the imagination of all who lay eyes upon it.

As you approach the floating mountain, you can feel the energy pulsing around it. It seems to draw you in, beckoning you to come closer and explore its secrets. The mountain itself is rugged and imposing, with craggy peaks and deep valleys that stretch as far as the eye can see. Despite its daunting appearance, there is a sense of serenity and tranquility that permeates the air, and you feel at peace in its presence.

I invite you to come to experience this peace. Thank you ferd frederix for making dreams come true.

What an awesome memorial day! TJ & I had smoked chicken, boston butt, and pork ribs, with potato salad, slaw, macaroni salad, texas toast, bbq baked beans, sweet tea and pecan pie. Tonight we played the board game clue which i picked up at walmart, along with some uno cards. Then I got busy in the kitchen and made a tiramisu cake, vanilla & chocolate petit fours, and white chocolate chip cookies. I sent TJ to the store for butter pecan icecream and we had a rare sweets supper while playing Clue (tm). Just all in all a fun memorial day!

A newly discovered supernova can be watched as it develops in real-time, online and for free.

This particular galaxy and supernova can be difficult to view in the night sky without the right conditions or telescope, however. Luckily, the Virtual Telescope Project will livestream the cosmic explosion on its website and YouTube channel as it develops via its power robotic telescopes based in Rome, Italy. The online event will kick off at 6:30 p.m. EDT (2230 GMT) on Friday, May 26 2023. Note that this event is weather dependent and could be delayed or cancelled due to poor conditions. https://www.space.com/new-supernova-pinwheel-galaxy-livest...
