Current exhibition is : "Face to face"

... is about the emotion around a face, an attitude, in the fleeting moment, a stolen moment of femininity, this exhibition shows the woman in her feminine states, the faces are subject to effects, depicting time and space, words accompany the images, but they are read and let themselves be carried away by the imagination, yours, it is this imagination that finally registers to speak to you...
I invite you, your sensitivity and your words if you want to share them with me :)

To all those who feel the desperate desire to criticize my build based on religious idiology and not artistic creativity, please read the little attachment on this post and be aware, the next clown that does it will have their post deleted as well. I am NOT here to argue religion and I don't give a rat's ass what you do or don't believe. I'm here to create beauty based on a historical city described in the Bible that was built by probably the most famous King in history, I am not here to indoctrinate, convert or criticize so if that's your game, kindly play it elsewhere because I don't have time for your bullshit. My beliefs are mine based on 60 years of research and I don't care one inkling of a little bit if you agree or not so please keep your argumentative, judgemental, holier than thou posts to yourself and stay off my page.

Typhaine Artez, whom many of you may know, as a wonderful lady, and genius scripter, has provided us all with a redo of DJ PHIL's osvisitor web based system. It allows you to store your visitor list without storing sensitive data like ip addresses, but not having to rely on inworld objects - which often get reset. This project allows you to sort by visitors to a specific region, or a grid, or sort visitors by day, week or month. It relies on a free website for the free api call to process the data. What an amazing gift to the community! https://github.com/typhartez?tab=repositories

Nyx Breen - Immersive exhibiting at OS Chlorine - Upcoming OS Arts Festival - Midnight setting - Draw 600 - Graphics Max - Music on. Enjoy. Post the images you take in multiple Artscape environments.

"Quota of Cuteness" or "From the Vaults of My Alts"?
This outfit had its origin in a grid long ago and far away. It is from the vault of an alt. And cute? Pigtails. Pink polka-dot scarf. Puddle boots (Fatpack!). Black cat earrings. And...a PAC-MAN necklace!

Quiz time. Before the Pac-Man arcade game was released internationally, it's name was what? Extra-credit bonus point question: Why was the name changed?

oh HELLO: Outfits With Options

Hello Everyone... I am hoping someone can help me out. I am looking for the Skye Rocky shore box of shore pieces.. Does anyone know where I can go get them or even purchace them. I am working on a beach area . Thanks in advance

Did you know?

The kerosene lamp, also known as "Hurricane Lamp", is a clever device that protects the light from any kind of element as rain or gusts of wind that could blow off the flame, the trick is where the holes for ventilation and exhaust are setup, relying on convection to create an air stream to keep the fire alive.

Mine comes in two versions: with the handle down or the handle up (for if you want to hang it on the wall or put it on a table) and it also comes in several colours.

They are completely automatic, so they will turn on by themselves at night. Don't you love virtual worlds? =D

Happy Tuesday!

Did you know?

I've made the Kawaii Skulls jewelry set out of frustration. I've seen a lot of spectacular sets that are incredibly heavy, having tons of unnecessary geometry that only shines if you hyper zoom into the avatar.

My approach was making the details bigger, using the same method as theatre, where the props are enormous to be clearly visible from the back rows. I tried to make the scale of the links of the chains big enough to be visible from a normal distance but simple enough to not overwhelm viewers with geometry.

The result is a nice set of cute skulls that includes earrings, a necklace and a belly button piercing.

Happy Friday! (yay Friday!)

Moria brennt !
Eventplanung
Etwas über ein Jahr ist es nun her, dass wir bei uns in Dorenas World ein Event zum Thema Flüchtlinge in Mittelmeer veranstaltet haben. Titel: Seenotrettung ist kein Verbrechen
In der Zwischenzeit ist viel geschehen, aber es hat sich wenig verändert - und wenn dann kaum zum Besseren. Wir hören von Booten in Seenot die von der Marine nicht nur nicht gerettet, sondern auf's offene Meer hinausgedrängt werden - ein Verbrechen, dass jeder Menschlichkeit Hohn spricht. Und die, die es bis auf die griechische Insel Lesbos geschafft haben, hat man mit unzureichender Versorgung zu Tausenden in ein völlig überfülltes Lager buchstäblich eingepfercht. Es war keine Überraschung, was wir jetzt an schrecklichen Bildern zu sehen bekommen:
Moria brennt !
Es war eine Katastrophe mit Ansage - und das Elend ist noch nicht am Ende. Schon ist man dabei das Problem zu "lösen", indem man die Menschen in ein neues Lager einzusperren versucht.

Wir denken es ist höchste Zeit für ein neues Event und haben die Woche vom 21.-27.9. dafür ausgewählt, denn es ist keine Zeit zu verlieren.

Wer mit Aktivitäten oder Ideen Idea zu diesem Event beitragen möchte, wird gebeten sich kurzfristig mit mir oder Anachron in Verbindung zu setzen.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event planning

It's been a little over a year since we hosted an event on the topic of refugees in the Mediterranean at Dorenas World. Title: Rescue at sea is not a crime
Much has happened in the meantime, but little has changed - and if so, hardly for the better. We hear of boats in distress that are not only not rescued by the navy, but are pushed out to sea - a crime that scorns all humanity. And those who made it to the Greek island of Lesbos were literally cooped up by the thousands into a completely overcrowded camp with insufficient supplies. It was no surprise what horrible pictures we now see:
Moria is on fire!
It was a catastrophe with an announcement - and the misery is not over yet. You are already in the process of "solving" the problem by trying to lock people up in a new camp.

We think it is high time for a new event and we have the week of September 21-27. selected for this because there is no time to waste.

Anyone who would like to contribute to this event with activities or ideas is asked to contact me or Anachron at short notice.

Calling all artists, both seasoned and emerging! Join us for an exciting opportunity to showcase your creativity. We can't wait to see the amazing works you produce under this captivating theme. Ladies, start planning your outfits for the ball—it's going to be a fantastic event with a touch of magic!

We're thrilled to announce a new region to the gallery dedicated to special projects. The first installation will be a collaborative masterpiece by beloved visual and audio artists. Witness how they transform the space into something extraordinary!
Additionally, we've opened another region connected to the gallery, designed for creating art, networking, and collaboration. Simply reach out to me to join this vibrant community and bring your artistic visions to life. Both regions are accessible by raft from the Art Gallery grounds.

Please note, the Gallery is now on a new grid. Old landmarks won't work, so discard them and pick up a new one. At the landing point and within the gallery, you'll find a sign you can click for this ad and a new landmark. You will also need to rejoin the group. Please see Star to be put in the appropriate role.
Many heartfelt thanks for the continued support for Le Beau Retrouve.

So, what are you dreaming of?

My virtual campaign office at Kawabunga Bay surf region. I am running for State Representative in RL (and likely to win). The people on my grid can't vote of course, but my Partner brought up the funny point that they are all virtual residents of Ward 5 in our city. So it is relevant. :)

Dear Soul-Family and Friends!

We are pleased to invite you to the fourth Grid birthday. Together we have built a community, that merges the boundaries of the virtual and real world.
Friendships have been made and together were looking forward to the next few years with other grids in OpenSim.
Celebrate this special weekend with us, Let's show far we went as One and what we have achieved together.

We look forward, sharing these days with you and were looking forward to the future to all of our virtual world.

Greetings your Nasti


Liebe Freunde und Souler !

Wir freuen uns, euch zum vierten Grid-Geburtstag einzuladen. Gemeinsam haben wir eine Gemeinschaft aufgebaut, die die Grenzen der virtuellen und realen Welt verschmelzen lassen.
Hier haben sich Freundschaften gefunden und gemeinsam blicken wir auf die nächsten Jahre mit anderen Grids in OpenSim.
Feiert mit uns dieses besondere Wochenende, das zeigt, wie weit wir zusammen gekommen sind und was wir gemeinsam erreicht haben.

Wir freuen uns darauf, diese Tage mit euch zu teilen und miteinander in die Zukunft unserer aller virtuellen Welten zu blicken.

Eure Nasti

Region going offline UTC Thursday 6 June 2024 between 3am to UTC 6am.
Simulator will be none accessible during this time.
System to do it's annual PURGE of database removing all assets not used within 1 year to reclaim disk space and defragment databases.

I see someone has been busy last night @FerdFrederix, thank you! Zensational is beyond anything I dreamed, it is such a peaceful and lovely region, please feel free to stop by anytime. Thank you to all the explorers who stop by and IM to say hello @JamieWright , @RolandFrancis, @JoeBuilder, thank you!!

HOW TO USE THE MAINFRAME.
Download the free program wc3270 for windows. Install it. Set up a connection to cyberdatastorm.com:3270. Your logon ID & PASSWORD will be USER100 & PIZZA OR USER101 & TACOS . You will have access too JCL, COBOL, ASSEMBLY, C++, REXX, and will be able to use the SYSDUMPs. You will be on sysplex1 with full access to 3380, 3390, and 3350 DASD. You will also have access to IBM 3420 TAPE Unit. You can explore what a mainframe operating system is like and how it is different from personal computers. Obviously you will not have access to TOP SECRET or RACF. I often say that anyone can learn PC stuff (personal computers) like Linux, Windows, or Apple OSX by reading just 1 thick 2000 page book. But for the mainframe you need to read about 200-300 of those thick 2000 page books. It is way more complicated. There are 5 mainframe operating systems: IBM Unix called AIX, IBM vm/cms, IBM os/400, Digital Equipment Corp VMS, and the Zos family. This mainframe you are logging into is in the Zos family. It does support full ISPF/TSO and CDC's (cataloged datasets). You will not have access to easytrieve, expediter, endeavour, and CICS.

It's scientifically proven that laughter strengthens the immune response!

Hey hey hey it is (or will be) the 5th of May and ZW pushed the boat out for WORLD LAUGHTER DAY!!!!!! Another fabulous evening of entertainment.

Dear Lily Sparks. I don't know if you will see this, but I made you a special version of my mesh object vendor. It is just for textures. All you do is copy & paste the textures into it. That's it. No renaming, No muss, No Fuss. It just works and is very low lag and super low cpu usage. :) It's at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:SandBox Make sure to get the one that has the textures on the face, there are TWO vendors there one for objects and one for textures and they look just alike. The texture vendor I stuck some seamless elven wallpaper textures in so you could tell them apart. :) Your Friend Cyber

Today, the well-known and already proven racist and fighter against people of small stature has crossed all permissible limits. He hides behind a hyped friendship, banning anyone who disagrees with him....an excellent leader of the hate gang.
( https://opensimworld.com/post/108176#cmt61728 )

Lets explain better to all what is racism.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_racism

Well... go ahead Super, mega hyper cyber hater.
I see that there is no longer any power that can save your soul sick of hatred and malice...

Wir sehen uns wieder in Walhalla
Lasst uns feiern, seid bereit
Mit den Göttern in Walhalla
Bis in alle Ewigkeit

See you again in Valhalla
Let's celebrate, be ready
With the Gods in Valhalla
Till eternity

[About Chelsea’s Point]
Chelsea’s Point is the [work-in-progress] result of the Darkheart’s Playground vision on a VIP residential home region, and Brandy Darkheart’s aim to offer a high-end designed home option.
It is also the labour of creativity and love (and frustration!) of Anael Starchild, who crystallises this vision in a residential region with furnished homes with fully landscaped surrounds.
[What is different about Chelsea’s Point?]
Darkheart’s Playground already offer free land to all grid member, and parcels with higher prim allowance to VIP members who support the grid through its Patreon tiers.
Many of us do however come from virtual worlds where there are designer homes and parcels for those who want the perks of a fully furnished home integrated into a landscape, without having to go through ordeal of landscaping of furnishing it themselves!
People who have been there also know that designer sims or home in other virtual words have a waiting list, and a custom ones goes for around 800$!
Chelsea’s Point offer a holistic cohesive designed blended across each parcel. Each home is fully integrated into the landscape – parcelling only happened AFTER the design was ready.
[Why ‘work-in-progress’?]
The full scope of Chelsea’s Point is a 4x4, that is…16 ‘sims’. While it might not be sound like much in OpenSimulator, the level of detail has been matched to other virtual worlds where the focus is at a ‘sim’ level.
First Phase is now ready, and we wanted to make it available as we continue landscaping the rest of the region.
[How can I rent a home?]
Any DH VIP member can rent a home at Chelsea’s Point – check out our tiers at Patreon! Once subscribed, please contact @Anael Starchild in-world.
For the initial first 2 weeks VIPs who do not own a residential region (i.e. tiers of 5$ or 10$) will take priority – this is to ensure that we priorities members who might subscribe for access to them.
[What are the ‘specs’ of the homes?]
Each home is decorated differently, while keeping the overall design of the region and it surroundings. As such the parcels might vary.
[What are the particular conditions?]
Homes are rented AS IS: i.e. With everything that is included. New furniture can be added indoors, or outdoors if it doesn’t conflict with the overall design of the region. Pre-existing furniture might be replaced via contact with Anael Starchild (this is to ensure that the home can be ‘brought back’ to its original design if rental expires, and new renters can enjoy it ‘as it was’)
Rental doesn’t need to be renewed – it lasts for as long as the VIP subscription does.
Skyboxes are allowed, at a reasonable height (above 2,500 meters).
All renters, and other VIP member, can enjoy the ‘Chelsea’s Point Commons’open area.
[Next design steps]
>>>Design outline: The ‘southern’ part of Chelsea’s Point (left and right of current development) will be Phase II – and it will follow the same ‘style’ of landscaping as the current developed area. More modern to the right, more suburban to the left. Phase III will continue up to the north with a lakeside area. Further phases will continue up to the mountain range that will have a small village at its bottom.
>>>>Early ‘bookings’: If you are a VIP member, and have a vision about your ideal home style, that you think would fit within Chelsea’s Point overall design, we can take ‘advance concepts/bookings’ to design it for you and include you in the process. Please contact Anael Starchild in world for that.

This rocks.

Through the grapevine (thanks Jimmy) I am hearing of a script that is going around destroying assets and killing grids. I think it's at least attacked 2 grids that I know of, one of which we managed to rescue.

If you have this set to true in your Robust.ini you are vulnerable to it I think. I'm guessing as I've not seen the script itself.


; Allow all assets to be remotely deleted.
; Only set this to true if you are operating a grid where you control all calls to the asset service
; (where a necessary condition is that you control all simulators) and you need this for admin purposes.
; If set to true, AllowRemoteDelete = true is required as well.
; Default is false.
AllowRemoteDeleteAllTypes = false

This is in your Robust.ini

I know I'll probably get shouted down - this is just a hunch that this is what is causing this issue.

Here's a link to a post with information that may be useful in the reoccurring debate about child avatars in OS. https://opensimworld.com/post/105659

It can be a resource for current and future front-page discussions on the topic. If you have any comments about it, please post them here.

[NOTE] My apologies. That post was poorly written, and it's no surprise to me that people had trouble understanding the "why," and even the "WHY?", of it. It's been rewritten with fewer words, and more clarity.

May the year ahead bring you the fulfillment and happiness you deserve for all you do. Happy Birthday to a remarkable individual who makes the world a better place in the most humble and impactful ways. 🎉🎂 Thank you Ferd Frederix, I adore you. We were all blessed when you were born.
