A brilliant light and sound show, and the end of an era; a significant grid-birthday, a new art collective, and the stupendous cyber mesh of Symphony... something for everyone, even the trolls...
Here are a few recent highlights of HG Safari which, a few days ago, also celebrated 10 years since our first trip ... Happy decade to all safarristas.

Forgiveness
After the injuries of the last few days, some people have called for forgiveness of every injury for the sake of peace. I find it very difficult at the moment, although forgiveness can take a burden off you. How do you feel about it? It would be nice if the answers were expressed honestly and peacefully, there is no need for another fire. Also, by the way, I also find it sad when posts are simply deleted.

I've already had a couple of requests from patrons to customize the main marquee sign from MAJESTIC to something unique to their region. I am more than happy to do this for anyone who buys the venue and will do so at no extra charge, so feel free to ask :-). Please keep the name at 9 letters or less so that it will fit nicely on the sign.

Many grateful thanks to those who have purchased the new venue. Your support and profuse compliments humbled me. Of course, I expect invites to grand openings and galas.

HIE 2024 is next weekend!

*EUROPA COLONY SIM* SIMs where all dwellings will be from now on. To tap into this place, go to EUROPA and at welcome are you will see a big glassy teleport board. Enjoy.
PS. there are other destinations as EUROPA FARM and EUROPA MINES, feel free to explore but at these places, still a lot to be done.

ARACNO AIRWAYS office at SPACEPORT (*) in EUROPA. Humans NOT ALLOWED... If you enter, well... take a look for yourself and never complain about the sentence "The curiosity killed the cat" lolol

(*) At welcome area or at MAGABAGA Mall, there is a big tp board to that destination.

GET A TEXT MESSAGE ON YOUR CELL PHONE WHEN A REGION GOES DOWN.
How to get text messages, emails, pushover, telegram, and jabber alerts if a region goes down on your grid. Well it's easy. Download servermonitor from https://github.com/phpservermon/phpservermon Next unzip it and upload it to your linux box. I put the files in /var/www/html/servermonitor.
Next get on your web browser and go to websiteaddress.com/servermonitor/install.php Fill in the questions. Set up a web database of your choosing. Create a user and a password. I did this: create database servers; create user 'someone'@'localhost' identified by 'password'; grant all on servers.* to 'someone'@'localhost'; flush priveleges;
Once that is set up, it's a breeze. Use the web interface to add servers to your list. For regions just enter a service and the port number the region is on. example service, custom port, 8007 Then select how you want to be notified if the region goes down. e.g. email or sms text message, etc. Finally using crontab -e enter * * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/html/servermonitor/cron/status.cron.php You are done. Now if one of your regions goes offline you will know about it in 60 seconds. Also you can add websites to the list to be monitored, mail servers, any kind of server really. It has a looooong list of server types that can be added. (very handy). Additionally you can click on a region and see it's uptime plotted hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly as well as LATENCY. We all know how important latency is for showing lag. :) Enjoy!
Note: LINK FIXED
Note: When they go offline the console shows them as red. Also you get a text message, email, etc.

People have been going to cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry and going to the 5th floor of my little castle and trying to enter the locked doors of the computer room. Some have even zoomed their cameras through the locked doors into the server room and into the locked server cabinet, and tried to mess with my overwatch sentry security server. Please do not do this anymore. It tells me when you do that and I will ban you from Wizardry which I hate to do. It is very annoying to me when you do this. Wizardry is there to offer up free stuff i create to people, and there is no reason or need for you to go through all that trouble to turn off my sim security. Thank you.

This is called a lectica. It's a small bed that you are carried on by 2 npc's. Satyr Aeon built the original one, I fixed it up some here and there. You can drive it around like a car and up to 4 people can ride with you. :) You can make the npc's run by pushing the pgUp button. Here my NPC servants are walking across a narrow rope bridge carrying me. hehehe Satyr Aeon made this, I just tweaked some scripts and rebuilt the bed. :) Now with the new scripts you can link whatever you want to it, and it won't mess up the npc's because it gets their named prims prim numbers through script. Also I've fixed some issues with the original code. But credit should go to Satyr as he made it. There's one at wizardry you can copy for free. cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Wizardry And yes their legs actually walk when you are moving it around.

Wanted to make an alt girl.

So, you have a messy shorter rigged hair style with the usual hud (thanks, Suzi Von Otto!). I have a bento mesh head I made with it. I put a halloween skin I did with it, halloween lips I made with it. Eyeliner is probably dodgy, everything else is legal with the ruth2 body that works best with "athena" /legal maitreya outfits included in package. Have fun, don't put on SL/sell the hairs and head for money/ tell people you made the hairs and mesh head.

THORVALDSLAND, (Thorvaldshaven) is our newest region to open on the Genesis Roleplay Grid. Owned and operated by Thorvaldr Ragnarsson and his lovely wife Chloe Ragnarsson. Thorvaldsland is Historical reenactment RP grid and they are looking for role players to fill many different positions. Contact Thorvaldr Ragnarsson or myself (Lavia Lavine) for more information. Blessings and Much Love, Lavia.

OverWatch Sentry Version 55. This latest version is not at wizardry. It is at the Welcome. I have set it to buy for $0. Please update as soon as possible. We have tested this and it will be the last & final version with all bugs fixed. Get yours at cyberdatastorm.com:8002:Welcome

All Decor has been permanently reduced half price. These are not my main business - venues and architecture are, but I create pieces to go with each of the structures as I work on them. Thought it would be nice to pull all these together in one place.

Good morning all it's Wolf Fest Day 1 kicking off with 2 University Presentations then Lone Wolf at the Big Top for his day 1 tech talk! Please use the teleporter board here to get around - but to really enjoy the festival take some time to have a walk round our incredible exhibits. Don't forget to ride the Space Race roller coaster.

"Keep Your Dragon Flapping" script has been updated by me. I created this script because I would go to tour a sim and see a dragon flying in the skies and it's wings would have quit flapping, so it's just sliding across the sky. Putting this script in with your script that animates the dragon will keep it flapping forever and you never have to reset it. This also works for flying cars, flying spaceships, birds, etc.
