I discovered SL in Nov. 2006. OpenSim is my home since June 2016 and I am hooked ever since.

Tarot V3. This is a new version that I just made on 3/16/2024. It now can do reversed cards, and ill dignified cards. Now it automatically chooses whether the card is up right or reversed, and shows the appropriate meaning. I took the seed from the random number generator built into the computer, which is run by a crystal on the mother board of your computer. This crystal vibrates at a frequency and produces the number out of the vibrations. Amazing! Anyway, This new tarot table can show normal and reversed cards as a result, making the entire process much easier to read, and it now more closely follows the laws of chance just like shuffling a real life deck of tarot cards. Whether a card is ill dignified or well dignified is determined by looking to the cards to the left and right of the card. If one is reversed and one is normal they cancel each other out so the card stands as is. If both are normal it is positive reinforcement and strengthens the card in the middle. If both are negative then they weaken the center card substantially. So now it works like real tarot and the real celtic cross! Come get yours at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry.

This is not your normal mall shop.

This store is a stable and trails with beautiful horses waiting for you to ride them.

Come try the best horses in open sim....scripted by our friend, Roland Francis.

After riding, take a look in the stable and get your own copy of these amazing horses.

A tall ship battle , ships with crews ! It's great fun. This is last ship standing ( mine :) ) burning! No cargo to steal, all was burned ! With many thanks to the Catronian Archipelago group members to make this event exciting.
The Awesome Greeter. Why is this Greeter awesome? Well. It is full perm. But it also has a lot of features other greeters do not have. It gets a list of everyone in the region and if there are new people in the list then it greets them. But not like other greeters do. It greets each individual person by getting their Key and using the special function called llRegionSayTo(). This creates way less lag in the simulator, as the script only speaks to ONE person and doesn't llRegionSay for the entire sim to hear. Normally people use llRegionSay, instead of llRegionSayTo, which is a lot more laggy. Another reason it's so great, is it plays a nifty little alert, and it updates the list every 5 seconds. If someone leaves it removes their name from the people-that-are-here list within 5 seconds. Then it will greet them again when they come back with a nice pleasant tone. It's at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry. Once you set it down and leave it alone, you can make it invisible or tiny or stick the script & the sound in some other statue or something.
Many greeters use laggy llSensorRepeat() function with a short range. But really don't you want someone to be greeted whether they tp into the middle of your grid, or on some far corner?

alexa maurer osw: the greeter is good, just a suggestion, where it says Welcome to xyz! replace xyz with llGetRegionName() overall very useful. 1 month ago

For the last 3 weeks, I have dealt with a intermittent issue on my grid that has about driven me nuts. I have tested, and eliminated possibilities …..without luck.

Yesterday two of the largest grid owners in open sim, Lone Wolf from Wolf Territories and Josh Boam from Aviworlds, took time from their busy schedules to help finally fix this issue. In addition , Rafael from Wolf Territories assisted. I cannot say thanks enough!

Although I work with Josh’s hosting business, this involved much more. Josh would not give up and recruited Lone Wolf.

In my opinion, maybe this is what opensim was designed to be: sharing of knowledge and helping each other.

Lone Wolf and Josh did not have to give up their time to help a tiny grid…..but they did!

Maybe we can all learn from these individuals!

Sharing knowledge is Caring



FYI. The default setting of 2 threadsets can cause major headaches depending on your region….it is way too low in some cases. You all probably know that…but I learned.

When you come to Welcome at cyberdatastorm, if you use the environment settings, the air has a very smoky quality without the lag of 'smoke' particles. This effect is created through the environment loading in the menus. My welcome is very simple, so that people can load quickly without a lot of things to weigh them down. I believe it is always good to have a simple and easy to load welcome area on your grid. Everything is done in simple black & white. From my opensim beacon, to my visitor list, to region teleport sign.

We announce that we made a connection with the Vibel grid , " Neiferleaf " owned by Roland Francis.
Catronian Archipelago's members visited his sims and were very enthusiastic about theme and landscaping and we decided to connect the lands with teleporters on each others landing points. The purpose of this connection is to share traffic and make people with similar interests on different grids aware about the posibilities of role-play, and we also want to organise events that will take place on both grids. More information about this later.
You can easely find the gate to Neiferleaf on Catronian Archipelago 's landing point , a gazebo that will teleport you over or try

grid.vibel.eu:8002:Neiferleaf

Enjoy the medieval theme, the wonderful forests and the great riding horses you can use to explore the lands. It's big, so take your time.
We are grateful Roland participates in this and work with us. For a fast impression on website:

Everything "new" is the well-forgotten old...
The problem with nudity and children is not that the children are naked or that they are doing anything!
The problem is in "Peeping Tom"!

From the hysterical reactions of the majority, I understand that you do not know who he is. Well read about the naked noblewoman and perverted voyeurs and pedophiles and .... know yourself in this legend (or truth?)....

In the enchanting realm of jewelry creation, the transformative journey from an initial drawing to a tangible masterpiece is a captivating process. As the designer, you breathe life into your vision through the meticulous use of curves, extruding techniques, and a diverse array of shapes. When designing your piece think of the different shapes and curves. Font Dingbats can be used in jewelry design too, use your imagination!
As the day comes to a close, I couldn't let it pass without wishing a very happy birthday to someone who prefers his privacy. Your dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others is truly commendable, and your selfless work as a philanthropist speaks volumes. Though you may not seek the spotlight, your actions shine brightly in the lives you touch. Today, I celebrate you quietly, respecting your preference for understatement. 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.

The past few weeks of Safari trips have been... trippy!
Escape from the ordinary, and get out there to visit some amazing regions.
Here are a few of our recent adventures.

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.

This trip is a bit unhappy, some people who come from other grids say, that the "talking NPC" does not load for them, remains a cloud.

All - Earthquake in Marrakesh Update 10/09/23

We have moved from our badly damaged home in Marrakesh to the capital Rabat - our power/broadband/telephone is very patchy but I have managed to make contact with Alex (Princess Alex), who will run the ILU side of things with Bobbi Fox, while we assess damage and living arrangements for the family.

Its just been announced over 2000 deaths and hundreds of injured - one close friend hasnt made it but he pulled his parents out of their wrecked family home.

Please pray for us and all those affected by this disaster.

We will see you all soon I hope.
