RETRO!!!! SCI FI!! GOTHIC!! GRUNGE!!! FREEBIES GALORE!!!! ALL THINGS WEIRD AND WONDERFUL!!!! BOB SOLO´S OPENSIM GRID :A VIRTUAL WORLD!!! ATTN NEWBIES!!!!!!

Posted on May 18, 2012 by virtualchristine
Back  home, after my first trip to A VIRTUAL WORLD, trying to work out what to do with some of my new babies. The peacock ´s open tail sways , and the crane´s head gently  tilts and turns . Grid owner Bob Solo is an extremely talented, prolific, generous creator. My new darlings are the tip of the iceberg!

Hello my dearest dears! How marvelous, here we all are again, ready for another grand adventure on the OpenSim , the software platform that hosts hundreds of independantly owned and operated grids/worlds. Lots of these grids are connected by the hypergrid, an amped up teleportation system that allows you to traverse these brave new worlds, having cool adventures, meeting other pixilated pioneers, and snagging freebies till you are just dizzy! If you don´t understand any of these terms, or don´t know how to get onto OpenSim, please read my very VERY easy to understand, totally simple to follow, OpenSim posts.  Come join the fastest growing virtual experience on the planet! I´ll see you out there!

Recently, I had been posting about my own home world CRAFT-THE FRIENDLY GRID , a well developed,160 region, vibrant community of artists and builders, which is my personal recommendation for the OpenSim newbie; and the leviathen OS Grid, with it´s 11, 000+ strong,  highly developed, independantly run regions  of everything and anything.  It got me  itching to do a post on one of the small grids again. Finding interesting, quirky little hangouts is a thrill in any reality. A Virtual World was just the ticket. It has 30 regions , only six residents, and possibly the worst name in the metaverse; try telling someone you were in A Virtual World, you wind up looped in a “Who´s on first, what´s on second” conversation. Saying “Bob Solo´s Grid” is much smoother going. And because it is largely a reflection of one man´s enthusiasms, there is really no genre or theme outside of intelligent, unpretentious dude. So let´s just go and take a look around! Oh, one thing- I am still messing around alot with my windlight settings (the button at the bottom of your browser with the Phoenix or Imprudence logo), so the sky and water don´t necessarily reflect the region. Just how much wine I´ve consumed.

This is the Welcome  teleport area. It is full of great free stuff- like my wearable Harley! See the horses to the left?
These are rideable horses, although I found the broad streets of the welcome area freebie square  were a blast on the Harley.With the Hog as well as these noble steeds, you may have to use the edit setting to rotate and move until your ride is squarely under your butt.  Now check this out.
The Owls heads turn and follow you. I thought I was delusional when I first saw it. Like most things in the teleport area, you are free to take one home. Now get your motor running, and let´s take a ride around the square.
I was here once a long time ago, but coming from a crappy urban environment, the grunge look put me off, and I left very quickly. Big mistake. Go in every door around the square; Bob has seious amounts of original, beautifully detailed freebies  scattered in every building around the square. Or copy the buildings! Or the Caddy behind me.There´s a T bird around the corner. Hey ,  that bus look familiar!

 

Bob is the creator of the  iconic Bus to Nowhere.  It was part of the nearly mythical SL creator Arcadia Asylum´s Open Source Urban Blight Project. Arcadia is Bob´s friend, and they are both on OpenSim now. I am officially impressed.  Let me just commune for a couple of minutes with Neal Cassidy; is Nowhere farther than Further? Are you and Jack finally an item? then we´ll  head back to the teleport area.
These are teleport panels to some of Bob´s various builds. Let´s go from right to left. And don´t forget to landmark, so you have a way back.
The first panel goes to “Relax and Enjoy” in Pluto.This region seems to have been built with someone named Pluto Fairy, who I am assuming is one of the grids six residents. The gardens are lovely, so once I had stopped hissing and spitting from the realization that this Pluto doesn´t like his or her stuff copied willy nilly, I was indeed able to relax and enjoy.
The next panel is to, well, the browser says Teak Forest something or other, but obviously this is not a forest of any kind. It is a pretty impressive outer space experience thingie. Bob lets you copy entire planets. My kinda guy.
The next panel is my favorite, called  Teak Garden . Still no Teak, but you really don´t miss it. This was a wonderful area to explore- I really began to see  why Craft resident Thirza Ember referred to him as “the great Bob Solo”in her pings from the afterlife blog. The castle behind me is enormous.
And really well laid out. While not everything can be copied, alot of the cooler stuff can , so always give it a click.  Come to mommy sweetie!
There are wonderful views, so keep climbing up! Bob has a fantastic eye for detail, the ships are moving, the  tree branches are swaying. You can ride or copy that beautiful steampunk airship by the way.
Bob has made a beautiful garden on this this surrealistic mountaintop, and again, every thing is in motion;the giant cloud, the water, the animals…
Awwww! Baby can do a trick!
The next panel is Teak Forest. There are about 14 regions with the Teak Forest handle so you can just type it into your world map search engine, and take your own tour.They are not terribly developed, but nice enough to wander around. The non copyable(hiss) tigers were on the Allabim Teak Forest parcel.
The next panel is to Atlantis SG 1, the city/spaceship of the Ancients in the second incarnation of the cult Stargate series. No Wraith, or DeLouises, but still  really impressive.
And the last panel is to Ranco Deluxe, time to break out the horses, and in Bob´s case, the spell checker. The ranch is big and pretty, with lots of room for a relaxing ride.

Bob´s profile says he likes to be left alone, so when he popped in I got kind of nervous; but he turned out to be super friendly. And interesting! We talked for a long time about everything and nothing; amazingly, he has only been a builder for 5 years. A modest man, he was really pleased and surprised I knew about his involvement in Virtual Belfast´s famous Titanic project. I informed him  yes, it was a freaking miracle I knew anything, as he posts almost no  information, ANYWHERE! I got on his case about the state of his BLOG which contains ONE LINE( I mean dear god, it´s a WordPress 3.1, like mine. If I can push the right buttons, so can a squirrel) and his A VIRTUAL WORLD WEBSITE which has an excellent short film about  virtual expressions of love, and a riveting talk by Dr.Michio Kaku, but only two small posts and NO pictures or direct information about his really great grid.

I am pleased to have changed all that a little bit. here is the upper hypergrid address of the Welcome area : avirtualworld.dyndns.org:8002 . If that won´t work for you,there is a blam gate in the Sanctuary Eld, and a panel at Crafts Hydra Station, and I think a gate at Hyperica Upper.

And now my beloved readers, with my fonts once again gone all wonky, I will love you and leave you. Thank you all so much for joining me. Your company means more to me than I could possibly find words for. Until the next time, the sweetest of dreams, and the brightest of days to you all. Adieu!

VIRTUALCHRISTINE PRESENTS: HYLEE BEKKER`S OS GRID!! TOP OPENSIM ARTIST GIVES US HER MUST SEE LIST!!!TODAY WE DE-MYST-IFY DEVOKAN TAO!!!!

Posted on May 11, 2012 by virtualchristine
Enjoying some girl talk  with   pixilated soul queen Hylee Bekker.We both agreed virtual sex was not our cup of tea; well, Hylee´s exact words were “we are a couple of old prudes.”  Her humor and intelligence light up every corner of her marvelous freebie sim, Ptarmigan Park,  one of the first places I ever blogged about on the  OS Grid! To be truthful, I have always found the huge, 11,000 + regions, OSGrid to be  rather unmanageable  without a destination guide; how do you get a handle on the damn thing? Where do you start? Who is what where? I was lucky to stumble  into Ptarmigan Park and meet Hylee , a renowned and  respected creator  in SL  as well as the entire OpenSim platform. So when she blogged about getting inspiration from other artists; that she had been to sims  so beautiful and strange they gave her chills, and then DROPPED the freaking subject, I jumped all over her! Where the hell WERE these places, hippy chick?

Hello my dearest dears! Welcome to my very first Hylee Bekker´s OS Grid post.( She knew I´d never drop it) This is going to be awesome! First things first; if you don´t really understand exactly what OpenSim is, or can´t work out how to log on ( I remember that feeling!) please read my EXTREMELY easy to understand OpenSim posts, and don´t forget my Newbie Glossary at the top of this blog!   Follow a few simple steps and spread your wings in the free metaverse!

I took a long look at Hylee´s list and decided to start with  something familiar; Devokan Tao, because I recognized the name from the Travel Agency on my favorite street at the OS Grid´s Wright Plaza. They don´t name streets here . Who knows why. You hang a left at the big horse fountain. It´s the first shop on the right.  The landmark takes you to a roomful of books.

See! This is the Hub. You click the books to go to different destinations..
…all of which..
…are mindblowing. This lightening is crashing all around me and striking in the distance.  Stunning.

Now, you can do one of two things. You can just teleport straight to the Hub and start clicking books; here´s the  upper hypergrid address: hg.osgrid.org:80:Devokan Tao , or drop by Wright Plaza(see my post) and get a landmark. The catch with this approach, is that Devokan Tao is based on  Myst and Uru. If that means nothing to you, you will just be wandering around going ” Holy Mother of God, how incredible!  What the hell is it?” the entire time. If that works for you, I have one tip from the folks at Devokan-set your draw distance to 512,  make sure your Windlight (Lightshare in Imprudence) is enabled, and check the Location profile of every region you go in. Some of them have specific Windlight settings. Check it out.

I got the little Quick Preferences menu by clicking the Phoenix icon in the bottom right corner of my Firestorm browser next to the AO button. You can also change your draw distance here.

To enable Lightshare on Imprudence, open the “Preferences > Advanced” tab, and change the “Allow region Windlight settings (LightShare)” option. Your draw distance is also in Preferences>Advanced. There is a Windlight Toolbar at the bottom of your browser for more specific Windlight settings, such as you see above. Bon voyage!

Your other option is to try and understand what you are seeing.   A tricky proposition- the 10 year odyssey of the PC game Myst, to the online virtual world of Uru has spawned a  very complex  subculture-so  an outsider just slams into a massive wall of  unintelligible terminology.  Let me give you the broad strokes:

Q) What  is Myst?

A) In the real world, it started as a PC  game in the early 90´s. It was the first really grown up adventure game,  casting the player in the role of the Stranger, who had to solve extremely  intricate puzzles by interacting with  a fictional culture whose sophistication was unprecedented. Myst was the top PC game until 2002, when the Sims came to town ; it had  4 direct sequels, not to mention  spin offs and novels, and obviously millions of devoted fans. The MYST WIKIPEDIA entry has more info.

Q) And Uru?

A) Again, in the real world Uru : Ages Beyond Myst, was initally a PC game, the fourth Myst sequel. Uru was significantly different from it´s predecessors in that it was set in the present, and mixed real life events with fictional ones. For example, in the game, fictional archaeologists who had discovered evidence in New Mexico of the D´ni, a fictional Myst race ,  approached the real life game company Cyan to create a game named Myst, that would teach the world about the D´ni.  In Uru players could also assemble their own avatars and use  a multi player modus. And although it was the last two features that lent the Uru format to mass multiplayer online roll playing, in Myst Online: Uru Live(MOUL) the meshing of fiction and reality is something that seems to have struck a chord. Here is the URU WIKIPEDIA entry for more details.

Q) Struck a chord? How so?

A) For example, our hosts at Devokan Tao. Like most of the online Myst subculture, they started their virtual lives on MOUL, which turned into quite the roller coaster ride; changing hands, closing, half opening, partially releasing codes,  reopening, and now looking to go open source very soon.  The first closure caused an online diaspora amongst Mysts extremely devoted, highly intelligent, frighteningly computer savvy fan base. Some migrated to SL to and took refuge in the Myst inspired region of Winterfell, which is still thriving, and founded their own region  named Devokan, which closed for financial reasons. What a surprise. Some went to virtual worlds I had never heard of, like THERE, and started Eder(refuge) Devokan which also closed . All these people travelled in character,exchanged information and aid, engaged in raging  feuds and founded organizations  named and structured after Myst culture, such as GOMA ,the Guild of Maintainers, who developed and distributed technical support to the various refugee settlements. Our hosts are about 10 people who mostly came to OpenSim by one of these routes and have about 20 Myst/Uru based regions linked by the book hub. They call themselves the DEVOKAN TRUST. Each of them has a distinct inworld persona, and have kept journals of their travels throughout the metaverse in search of a home. The Devokan Story Books I II and III are these fictional journal excerpts, documenting the real world process of transferring sims,(for example, the Devokan Island that was destroyed refers to the lost SL sim, the OpenSim Devokan Tao is referred to as the Restoration.) to the creation( appearence) of new sims. Once I had some “Mystspeak” under my belt, I found the Devokan Tao Story to be very readable and entertaining. The books are on three notecards you can get from one of our hosts, and you can also get Books I and II and a journal from Dot´s Retreat, who´s linking book is on the inner circle. This  will take you to Devokan Trustee and GoMA member DOT MACCHI´s interesting and understandable explanation of the process. She  provides a map and pictures as well.

And now for a smidgen of  Mystspeak. From now on, all the highlighted links will take you to MYSTLORE, the wiki of all things MYST, D´NI,and URU. Although DEVOKAN Tao follow their own unique storyline( Dot says”purists would be appalled by us”. Aren’t they always my dears.) I found that running a search for unfamiliar terms on the Mystlore site proved to be very helpful. Remember, in the Myst world, the term AGES actually refers to worlds , created by THE ART of writing BOOKS, which also  LINK their respective worlds. Some STONES and CRYSTALS can also be used to access different ages. So if you see any of these objects, be prepared to teleport if you touch. The Devokan Tao storyline has lots of mysterious spheres, some of which seem to be wormholes, others , well no one is sure. Studying the spheres is a major story thread.

Now I think you are ready for the Hub.  I have written this guide from the inner circle working outwards. The inner circle are all locations that reflect the Devokan Tao storyline, which I have filled in as much as I can. I got the impression from Dot that the builds themselves often inspired the storyline, and  so I am assuming that is the reason some of the regions don´t seem to have any context. At least one I can pick up. Where I can´t provide a blurb from a notecard , or a pertinent link, I have put a photo and a comment. The outer circles are all marked by an object created by the main builder for that section. Keep an eye out for them in the  various ages .

 

Inner Circle, writing desk at the top, clockwise:

Waysmeet: the tree village, and the first thing from Devokan to be transferred to this new world by the alien spheres. Kind of where it all started. My personal favorite.
Skysong: an uninhabited island over which Devokan Scientist Quinquifid Oddenfin, a human from the Victorian time period set up a sky laboratory as a home.
Starfyre:

I think the notecard stories referred to Starfyre, but I am damned if I can find the reference again! If I ever do, I´ll post it here!

Touchstone: The island Quinn attempted to transfer across time and space; the twin of the original Devokan
Dot´s Retreat:

Dot´s Retreat is listed on the browser as Entre ciel et eau, which means between sky and water. You can get the books and journals on the desks. And remember to FLY out and have a look around.

Deepwater:an ancient island of ritual and mystery; at its heart is a temple housing a “caged” sphere, hence the speculation that this is the source of the spheres’ power.

Clock section, left to right:

Nalandes linking book,  island home  of warrior woman Naland
WINDRING grid linking book
Gehnna linking book, based on the 233RD AGE OF GEHN,
Nuevo RELTO linking book,
K´VEER linking book,
CLEFT linking book

Robot section, left to right:

Tao Laputa :

The fields of Tao Laputa.

LAPUTA linking book,
Alizes linking book,

Aziles is a little island on Leah Auxifur´s archipelago with a cave and a couple of polar bears. Or is it?

Alexandria linking book,

This steampunk sky platform and the island below are the Age of Alexandria.

Cyan linking book,

Cyan is the name of the the company that owns Myst online:Uru Live. I am not sure what the artist is trying to say, but these moving, ethereal animals were jaw dropping.

Eoliah linking book,

A wonderful little village with lots of nooks to explore, and nice surprises tucked everywhere.

Book Stand section, left to right,

TAO LIA linking book,
Kamar:

The Lune Kamar age. Check for windlight settings!

KI linking book,
Yugen, the lost City:

Yugen creator Shenn Tao, whom Hylee considers a true genius, giving me a few pointers about mesh.

Inspiration, the mesh sandbox:

Shenn eventually just took me to the mesh sandbox, and gave me a demonstration of some  sculptures, that culminated in a slideshow. Dot, a modern day human explorer whom Shenn calls” our angel” and Paislee Myrtle, whom Shenn considers a true genius; a Victorian era human who´s builds are delightfully steampunk, also joined us. ( I asked. Apparently time intersects here). This is a very friendly group, although without that smidgen of Mystspeak under your belt, their personas can make the conversation a trifle stilted.

Rivages du ciel: the shores of heaven; creator Shenn Tao thought it resembled the womb, I thought it was one´s perception immediately after death. It´s Hylee´s pick as the best thing she has ever seen anywhere. Needless to say, pictures don´t cut it!

Banner section, left to right:

Moonshadow,

Moonshadow is one of Paislee´s wonderful steampunk builds.

Pathways:

Okay, now I am thinking this whole area is what is referred to in the notecard Devokan Story II as Curiosity, the island Paislee made her home. The spires rising from the water in the background are the Hub, by the way. You can fly out and look down into them.

Refuge: unfortunately not up and running when I was there. See Pillar section.
Illusion:

In Illusion, Paislee´s steampunk style takes a surrealistic turn.

Deepwater Primordium:

The linking book takes you to a tower room, where you can teleport to a control center. This , well, whatever, is below that room. No clue what it is, but it´s very beautiful.You say that alot here.

Nocturne:

Nocturne is a series of floating pyramids, which are filled with mysterious passageways. About ten zillion on my neat- o- meter.

Pillar section, left to right: unfortunately, this whole section was down during my visits. They , according to Dot, were doing alot of region shifting, so these will probably all be up by the time I visit again. These are all the builds of Mat Mahogany; I recognise Tallis as the Island where Mat settled, that was next to a mysterious copy of Devokan Island.
Stuart
Tallis
Mat´s Gallery
Kamali
Pangea
no name

Here I am indulging my two new addictions-1) wandering around Paislees Tree Village, pretending it´s MINE!!!! and 2) messing around with my windlight settings. This baby is Azure Sunset.Wow.

And thus, my dearest dears, concludes our first Hylee Bekker´s OS Grid post. This is going to be a splendid series. Wasn’t her first choice amazing? Thank you Hylee, and special thanks to Dot Macchi, for answering my endless questions, and laughing at my jokes. And cracking a couple of her own. Also to Paislee Myrtle and Shenn Tao for their hospitality and patience. And of course for Devokan Tao, of which I am now, officially , a fan. And thank you all for joining me on my small adventures; I hope this post is of some use to you. As always, I had a wonderful time writing it.  I hope to meet each and everyone of you out there, PLEASE, never hesitate to walk up and say hi! I love to hear your stories too! Until then, the sweetest of dreams and the brightest of days to you all!! Adieu!!

THE PET SITUATION IN OPENSIM: GET YOUR FREE WEARABLE PET !!! ATTN NEWBIES!!!!

Posted on May 4, 2012 by virtualchristine
I was back from my holidays,  roaming around  Craft´s always interesting welcome area,  Hydra Station, , and I noticed this! There is now horseback riding in Craft!

Hello my dearest dears!  How wonderful, here we all are again, ready for another exciting adventure on OpenSim, the software platform that host hundreds of independantly owned and operated grid, or worlds. Many of these worlds are on the hypergrid system, an amped up kind of teleportation that allows you and all your belongings to” jump” from world to world,  having oodles of  unforgettable adventures, and of couse, snagging so many freebies you begin to exhibit  remorse symptomology(or maybe that´s just me). Anyway, if you don´t know how to get on OpenSim, please read my easy to understand posts, and don´t forget my  Newbie Glossary! Come and join the fastest growing virtual experience on the planet!!

Now, as to the pet situation in OpenSim, I was largely batting a big  fat zero.  I had  tried to contact SL vendors, who do not answer;  I asked absolutly everyone I meet on OpenSim, and I meet ALOT of people, do you know anyone who does SL style animals? The answer is always no no no. And really wierd looks. Like there had been a big anti pet rally I wasn´t invited to. I was ready to take a long break from the whole damn thing. But then look what I found in my own backyard!

A beautiful rideable horse! Her main and tail are swishing, her ears are moving- this is awesome! I am naming her Dulce!
You can get your  horse by  clicking this box, located just behind the gypsy camp on Tao´s Ranch, in the region of CAMPOS.

You can register on my home grid, Craft, the Friendly Grid here at CRAFT REGISTRATION, in my opinion the smartest move you can make as an OpenSim newbie. Or you can gate into my warm, supportive, beautiful, dynamic, cutting edge, home grid from another hypergrid enabled world- use this (upper) address: craft-world.org:8002:Hydra to get to Hydra Station and pick up a landmark. When you get your horse,

You can explore  the  ranch , or  head west up Montes winding  mountain paths; or east, to Craft´s  big interconnected central regions, where you will find beaches ,vineyards, freebie malls, art galleries- my home grid rocks!
Or take your new pet onto another OpenSim  grid! Thanks Tao!!

ANOTHER MINDBENDINGLY USEFUL VIRTUALCHRISTINE COMBO POST: INSIDE LINDA KELLIE`S AWESOME NEW FREEBIE MALL; AND RISING OPENSIM STAR HAN HELD´S NEW ART PARK, THE EXCITING FREE VENUE FOR OPENSIM ARTISTS!!!ATTN NEWBIES

Posted on April 30, 2012 by virtualchristine
Here I am , FINALLY at Linda Kellie´s, or Cara Kitty as she calls herself now, fantastic new freebie mall on the CyberWrld Grid.

Hello my dearest dears! It´s time for another whirlwind adventure on OpenSim, the software platform that hosts hundreds of independantly operated grids/worlds, many of which are linked by an amped up teleportation system called the Hypergrid. If you would like to get onto OpenSim and start your exciting journey in the free metaverse, please read my easy to understand OpenSim posts, and don´t forget my Newbie Glossary at the top of this blog! Come on; the fastest growing virtual experience on the planet is waiting for you!

This is, as the title states, a combo post. The first part is a peek into  something everyone is talking about- OpenSim´s reigning empress of free content creation, Linda Kellie, has morphed into Cara Kitty, and moved her freebie region to CyberWrld , the exiting new grid for Furries and Nekkos. Meeeow! I went to CyberWrld intending to research a small post about LindaKellie´s new region, but ended up being whisked away on the Furry  welcome wagon- so go to my last post if you want to know anything CyberWrld, or just what the hell a Furry is. I am FINALLY posting about the new Freebie Mall!

I don´t know about the rest of you, but this is my first time through a virtual revolving door. Kudos Cara!
Heavens, this place is really impressive. There ´s map, but I ´d rather just poke around for a bit.
This is marvelous! Remember, everything you see here is free to copy!
Cara has really thought of everything for a real american mall feel.What a fun place to meet friends!
When I said everything, I really meant it. I never really understood the point of having toilets in a virtual setting. Who the hell wants to roleplay having to find a toilet 100 times a day. No wait, this is an adult grid. Don´t answer that.
Look at the size of the furniture section. My inventory will never recover from this!

The Freebie Mall hypergrid address is  login.cyberwrld.net:8002:Freebie Mall. Get over there soon!

And now my dears we come to the second part of our combo post. I initially went on the mad hunt for Linda Kellie after an experience on the OS Grid´s Wright Plaza. I had just popped in to find a landmark, but the landing area was unusually full, and Linda Kellie´s name was in the air. One young woman in particular stood out.Her name was Han Held. She was  intelligent, modest,and so very passionate about creating! And about what an inspiration Linda Kellie is for her! It was wonderful to see, and I asked her what exactly she was building.She hemmed and hawed, and said she wasn´t good like Linda Kellie or the people on Craft( she reads me) but felt like she was making alot of progress. I finally nailed her down,and I must say her project sounded really intriguing. I gave her my email  and made her promise to send me her hypergrid address. Which she did! Brave girl! Smart Girl! For how can one have a Drop Off Art Gallery if no one knows it´s there?

This is an overview of Han Held´s Art Park. Isn´t an attractive, professional looking venue? This young woman has  real talent. Let´s start in the center building.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a bring your own dance ball  or whatever area for your event or exhibition . Han Held´s wonderfully flexible designs lend themselves to any number of possibilities. Let´s go behind the bar.
Touch the teleport switch!
True to the spirit of the  free metaverse that Linda Kellie embodies for so many people, Han has a gift shop where you can have all the materials you need to make your own Art Park. There is of course , a return teleport. No amaturish mistakes for this lady.!
Every poseball works perfectly; you could have a huge event, or a romantic lunch surrounded by photos of you and your loved one.
Look at the trees in the open air gallery! Now turn off the lights.
Bella Notte! Congratulations Han! Your Art Park is a winner!

Here is a link ART PARK OPENSIM CREATIONS which will explain  one or two small details about using the Park, leave a comment or ask questions. And here is her upper hypergrid address http://simple.hopto.org:9000:Art Park. How is that for a combo post! One place to cram your inventory full beyond all hope, and another where you can drop stuff off. And now my dearest dears, I must love you and leave you. Thank you so much for joining me in my small adventures. The sweetest of dreams and the brightest of days to all my beloved readers! Until next time, Adieu

LINDA KELLIE MOVES TO CYBERWRLD, THE EXCITING NEW OPENSIM GRID FOR FURRIES AND NEKKOS!!! TONS OF FREEBIES!!FREE RENT FOR FURRIES!!!!TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE!!! ATTN NEWBIES!!GROWL!!!!!

Posted on April 29, 2012 by virtualchristine
In  CyberWrlds Furry Village, with friendly local Aiden,trying to find   Linda Kellie´s new home region!

Hello my dearest dears! It is time for yet another adventure on OpenSim, the software platform that allows hundred of independantly owned grids/worlds to be linked by an amped up teleportation system called the hypergrid! If you find any of this terminology confusing, or flat out don´t know how to get on OpenSim, please refer to my easy to understand OpenSim posts, as well as my Newbie Glossary at the top of this page. Come join the fastest growing virtual experience on the planet!

Linda Kellie is probably the best known content creator on the OpenSim platform. A former Second Life vendor who gave up her business, Linda came to OpenSim, and began distributing all her content for free. ANYONE can import EVERYTHING they need to start a grid, from stocked freebie malls to fantasy gardens, to gritty urban settings from her website LINDAKELLIE.COM . Her high quality content is EVERYWHERE on OpenSim, and in a virtual environment deepy rooted in information sharing, she has achieved rock star status. So her decision to take her  inworld freebie region off  the massive OSGrid, and start her own world, was Beatles break up huge. But heads up folks, Linda Kellie has NOT started her own grid after all!! Here is a link to her blog LINDA`S BLOG where she gives her reasons. Instead she has joined  the community on a new OpenSim adult grid, CYBERWRLD founded by her friend  Timothy Vyper. Not only is this grid  where all her new inworld content will be premiered, but she is very involved with building this world from the ground up. In fact, the lady has gone completely native. Check this out.

This is Welcome, the portal to CyberWrld.

One very important thing to remember, this is a NEW grid, and they are still working out  alot of kinks. The last time I was in Welcome there was still no working teleport, or even a reference to Linda Kellie.This was my second shot. I  been there once before, after reading about the move in her blog, trying to learn something, anything; I mean, everyone was talking about it on the OS Grid, I had even met someone else looking for the new Linda Kellie region, but there was no trace of her. This time, I was determined to find out what the hell was going on. Behind my right shoulder, on the wooden boards below  the flags, are four teleport panels. One said Furry Village. I had encountered Furries in SL; they have fur covered  animal avatars, normally upright,  often with animal heads, paws tails etc. (there are varying degrees of furriness.)  The panel gave me a notecard which said that this grid was a haven for the entire OpenSim Furry community, that the village had housing with free rent for them, free furry avatars etc. Not one word about Linda Kellie. I sighed and hit the landmark-maybe I could just FIND someone who would tell me ! I found pleasant little Aiden, who kindly called  someone named Cara Kitty to answer my questions.

Cara Kitty is Linda Kellie.

So the answer, my beloved readers, is  definitively yes, Linda Kellie is now based in CyberWrld. She has been very involved in creating what are now 6 regions, including her own. It is all still very much in the setup stage;  but here is the address to her mall directly from Linda or Cara:  login.cyberwrld.net:8002:Freebie Mall . Here is the link to her forum post on the CyberWrld Homepage FREEBIE MALL PAGE with all the info.

Not that I have been there yet. I have been talking. And talking. And talking.

Cara and I were joined by her friends, Timothy Viper and the wolf Raliegh Decosta, a village elder who is a REALLY big flirt. The cottages behind us are the charming free housing . There is also a village pub with all kinds of games, and a freebie shop with furry avatars and accessories.

This is an extremely friendly, contact oriented community.  They are keen to get the word out to Furries and Nekkos(avatars with human skin, and cat ears and tails. RL Japanese cult) in OpenSim that there is now a world for them! And, to be truthful, if you like a creative,  offbeat, and overtly “Adult” rated environment, this grid would be a good choice for you as an OpenSim Newbie. You can sign up on the homepage. Or visit from another upper grid address; I have jumped to Welcome from OS grid and Craft successfully: login.cyberwrld.net:8002 .

Although the big bad wolf has promised to take me on a tour of all six regions, I managed to get away to LAZY RIVER on my own. Beautiful, isn´t it? Ral says CyberWrld also has a big horseback riding region, with tons of trails and rideable horses!
The very impressive dance Club “Hot Paws” was empty….
Because every Sunday at 2PM American East Coast, 8pm Central European Time, the party is here- in Furry Village at Raz´s cafe!
Here I am dancing. And dancing. And dancing. And talking. I think it´s called fun.There is Cara in the right corner, and Hylee Bekker of Ptarmigan Park in the foreground. This is the Furry Frenzy, and the whole metaverse is invited!

"Word" was spontaneously voted best avatar, and he doesn´t even have fur! See! everyone is welcome! Isn´t my tail snazzy?

And so my dearest dears, with my fonts gone all wonky and my being too tired to fix them, I will love you and leave you.  OpenSim has changed something else for me yet again, for the first time I am blogging about an Adult grid. Nobody did anything to make me uncomfortable. It was a great party. I met interesting people. The village was really neat. I had fun. And we solved the Kellie conundrum. She was always there. She had simply gone feral. The sweetest of dreams and the brightest of days to you all. Thank you so very much for joining me! Adieu!

OPENSIM FREEBIE ALERT!!!! ALL NEW CRAFT FREEBIES!!!! BEAUTIFUL ITEMS FROM TOP METAVERSE ARTISTS!!!!! ATTN NEWBIES!!!

Posted on April 22, 2012 by virtualchristine

 

Enjoying a waterfront stroll in the SINUS region of my amazing home grid, Craft-The Friendly World. In the  shops behind me , Craft´s vibrant art community is in the process of  filling the   shelves with oodles of  beautiful, unusual freebies. My home grid rocks! Come on, let´s take a look!

Hello my dearest dears! I am back and blogging!   How marvelous; here we are all again, ready for another whirwind adventure on OpenSim, the software platform that hosts hundreds of independant grids. Many of these grids are connected by an amped up teleportation system called the Hypergrid, that allows you to travel from world to world  exploring, snagging freebies,and making friends until you are just dizzy. If you have never been on OpenSim, here is the link to my home grids  very informative  CRAFT HOMEPAGE where you can sign up , register an avatar and  join the great OpenSim experience!  Craft grid owners Licu Rau and Tao Quan offer the best Newbie support on on the Hypergrid, and you can also read my OpenSim posts for plenty of easy to understand info and tips; and don´t forget my Newbie glossary page! You CAN do this! If you are already registered on another grid, here craft-world.org:8002 is  the upper region hypergrid address,which will land you in Craft´s welcome region, Hydra! Now, let´s go snag some great freebies!

When you get to Hydra, you can just open your world map,  run a search for Sinus, and teleport!
As you can see, there is a courtyard over my right shoulder- you can reach it through the first two shops below my feet. We´ll go there in a minute. But for now, let´s start on the outer row, my right to left, along the pretty waterfront!
Our first stop is Faire Belle, whose shelves are stacked high with MULTI award winning artist Tosha Tyran´s very,very chic fashion offerings.
Next door to Tosha, is Charley´s Art Collection, three rooms of beautiful paintings  sculpture, and glasswork .
In Setty Shop, Settima Sideshow offers Linda Kelly Fashions plus her very own stylish line of accessories.
I could tell immediately that Arboria belonged to my Fairy neighbor, Aria Aira.
Aria always manages to bypass  the tackiness I normally associate with the fairy scene, and create a sparkling atmosphere of wit and wild forest magic.
This will be my buddy GeR Orsini´s men´s clothing line. There is still very little in it; this is his first foray into men´s fashion, and ,as usual, he is trying to get everything  just so.  He is a wonderful designer who already has an impressive freebie region here in Craft (UPTOWN), so keep dropping by!
The last shop on the row is Maison Noir, belonging to the one and only Lumiere Noir, legendary Second Life builder and designer, who now makes Craft his home. Although it seems he is just starting to get things going, the table and chairs in the center are freebies.Yeah, I know; you have an inventory full of chairs and tables. Trust me, you don´t have these.
The table top is an actual representation of the planets rotation. Oh come on, would I make that up?

Now let´s go back to Tyra´s Faire Belle shop, and walk through the shop, up the stairs to the main courtyard!

From the lovely square, we can see two more shops are up and running! Let´s try the one next door to Charley´s Art Collection!

 

 

This is Luci´s Lifestyle,  award winning artist  Lucitania Titanic´s …
unbelivably tasteful and unique home furnishings shop.
I have seen her stuff before. My favorites are the marvelously “painted” teapots. Pictures do not do this justice.
Now, let´s go back to the square, and cross the pathway to The Everlasting Spring, Museo del Metaverso architect Nicola Reinerman´s flower shop.
Check out the vivid, miniscule patterns! Hey, there´s an upstairs-come on!
The plants are getting bigger, without losingany of  their sumptuous detail. If you haven´t already, you have got to come check out the Museo; it was brought here from Second Life, is about seven stories with an exterior that changes-   Ooh look! A terrace!
Look at all these great potted trees and bushes! Dear Lord, I think my inventory is audibly creaking. Now I want to show you something over the terrace wall, to my right. Don´t worry, you can´t take it with you.
This is the foundation of the Rainbow region, which Tao Quan told me is going to have RENT FREE  shops for, well, whoever, has wares they would like to offer. Things happen fast in Craft, so if you´re interested, contact Licu or Tao soon.
Just messing around in the little public garden next to Nicola´s charming flower shop.

And that, my dearest dears, concludes this OpenSim freebie post. I hope you found it helpful, and if it piqued your interest about the Craft Grid and it´s community, please read my Craft Geography Post Part One; and don´t forget my Craft Freebie Post for the rest of this grid´s BIG honkin  freebie regions.There´s no place like home! Until next time, my beloved readers, Adieu!

OFF THE (HYPER)GRID !!! ANOTHER VIRTUAL CHRISTINE OPENSIM TRAVEL TIP!!! 3RD ROCK GRID:A PLACE WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME!!! ATTN NEWBIES!!!

Posted on March 23, 2012 by virtualchristine
Talk about warp speed inclusiveness- here I am in my FIRST hour at 3RG, whooping it up at a live double grid fundraiser for Doctors without Borders, which the gaggle of friends I had after five minutes at the Welcome Center whisked me off to, oh, a full 30 seconds after I got my avatar up and running.

Hello again my dearest dears! Isn’t this wonderful; here we all are, ready for another headlong dive down that rabbit hole onto OpenSim, the public software platform which  supports hundreds upon hundred of independently owned and operated grids/ worlds. More and more of these grids are choosing to be connected  by the hypergrid, an amped up teleportation system that allows us to travel directly from world to world via hypergates,  snagging freebies and having adventures to our hearts content.  Just register on a hypergrid enabled world (I strongly recommend my home,  CRAFT-THE FRIENDLY GRID) and log on. Do not miss out on the fastest growing virtual experience on the planet. ” But what about the  closed OpenSim grids, the ones that choose not to be on the hypergrid”, you  ask. I had wondered about them  too, and done a bit of research, but the commercial grids I had read about seemed  colorless and tepid after the mad whirl of the open metaverse; I only went on one to see if they sold SL style pets (they don´t). I didn’t even read the  3RG  homepage; I picked them from a statistics list because they were the smallest, and I  figured could be in and out more quickly.  What I found was a  vibrant, warm community, who have created a fascinating, beautiful, really FUN world  I plan to visit over and over!

THIS  link 3RD ROCK GRID will take you 3RG´s homepage . Because it has no hypergrid access, you have to create an account, pick a default avatar, then, when you log in, put together a new avatar and inventory from scratch. None of your stuff from the rest of OpenSim will come with you. Keep on reading, this isn´t that bad. My Firestorm browser was pretty useless, but IMPRUDENCE worked just fine. You don´t need a region name to log on the first time. Everybody automatically winds up here-

This is OUR TOWN, the 3RG welcome center. The rows of pictures you see lining the deck below me are free avatars, skins, hair  clothes, etc. Plenty to get you started. The billboards are regions in the 3RG Showcase.  In the highly unlikely circumstance  there are no  friendly locals to greet you ,  your newbie butt will flip a grid switch somewhere and alert the welcome wagon. Nearly  everybody will offer friendship- go for it. There is no catch or hustle. You will also be offered membership in the community chat group- go for that too. It means that no matter where you are, if you have a question, click on the group to open their chat window, and  ask away! Someone will answer you! Now see the spiral staircase behind me, in the middle of the deck? Let´s go downstairs!
You can mess around in the different offices for a bit, then head into the room behind me, with the maps on the wall.
How cool is this? The  on the left  is a map of 3RG´s 160 something regions. See the big square in the middle? These are called the “core” regions. The map on the right is a close up of the core. Our town is kinda in the middle. You can click  on the maps and get a region name, or..
… just use your Destination Guide! Yes, this very handy SL feature is alive and kicking on the closed OpenSim grid! ( Note: If you run a general search, say ” sailing ” you might well get a residents name listed because sailing is one of their listed interests. Click on the name, there are probably links to the person´s sim, or shop.) This is the Showcase category, and I am standing  in KAWTHAR, which is charming at sunset…
…and  magic at midnight. Other Showcase areas I had a gander at were…
…ORIENT,  you guessed it, a steampunk region…
…ASTRAIOS COLONY, the USS Starfleet  roleplaying sim that is affiliated with the OS Starfleet group,  has a long complicated notecard with all their ranks and websites etc. You are welcome to just look around..
..the really big, awesome, station.  Qapla´ Starfleet!
….SERALIGIO of wonders is a peaceful place…
..and ROBs ROCK ISLAND is jumping! I am dancing with grid owner Lazuli Pooraka, a genuinely friendly soul who kindly gave me two long interviews for this post. Both of us being big honkin´ lefties helped, of course. He really wanted to emphasize that money spinning is NOT 3RG´s main priority, the community is. I believe him. The currency is there for people to have businesses in their regions, if they so choose.Or for charity, like the Doctors without Borders donation box behind me.
The pretty lady is Songdog Wolley, a ROB´s DJ from back in the SL day, and one of seven 3RG managers. Your welcome letter will come from her.  I  finally asked the sixty four dollar question,you know; why the hell aren´t you people on the hypergrid, and the answer was, security.  Their techs have advised them that even though content control has drastically improved throughout OpenSim, hypergrid access  would still endanger the creative content of the communities artists and designers. Well, fair enough. The ridiculous thing is, they told me that SL creators they try to convince to come to 3RG, automatically say no; they simply assume assume  that  everywhere outside SL their work can will be stolen and distributed en mass. Ignorant!

 

Now I´d like to go off the Showcase, and show you something I thought was a blast-

Open your world map, which always works perfectly here, type in NAHLA, and teleport. Go up gigantic tower with the spiral staircase, and call the tram. Take it to the other side, go down the gigantic tower, and there you will see …
… a starting line! You´ll see a red bike leaning against a tree. Click it, then put on your very own wearable bike and you are ready to go!!
This isn´t a proper timed race like  the hypergrid´s Miki Kiti Tiki ; this is just marvelous, laid back cycling on FIFTY  core regions of connected pathway.
No casinos, no skin malls.
You probably noticed on the tram ride that 3RG makes the most out of their space with an incredible variety of mountains, hills,
and valleys, like this one in RALLY.
Then there are the snow capped peaks, like this one in CUSTER.
And although there are paths tucked every where
Sometimes it´s best to just glide around the mist shrouded mountains. This is SOLSTICE. It is astonishing, and it is not alone.

The next thing, for some reason, is not in the Showcase either.

The Veracruz Harbor in VIRREYNATO is a historical build of baroque Mexico. Obviously, they give away costumes.
Lots of costumes. You can get them in the room behind me.
There is a big gallery,
and an impressive palace.
I liked wandering around the town.

 

Now, my dears, I have to wrap this up and get some sleep!I thought I would spend five minutes on this grid getting one tiny piece of information, and I wound up spending 4 days researching and writing a post. I love  Craft and the whole hypergrid experience, but 3RG is like a great holiday town you discover, and  keep going back to time and time again. It´s full of cool people and great stuff to do. Don´t let my focus on 3RG´s fantastic landscaping skills fool you, there is everything from halloween fun fairs to art galleries to chic cafes … you get the idea.  And it´s a work in progress; ROB(Roll Over Beethoven)´s  Rock Island is slated to get alot bigger, and include stuff like art exhibitions, museums and more event areas; there´s stuff going up everywhere, actually. I am really excited about the Yacht Club, where there will be free boats and races. I wonder how far you´ll be able to sail! I am just itching to get out on all the great rivers and waterways I saw in the Core! This is the opposite of stopping, isn´t it?

And so, I thank you all for joining me on another of my small adventures. I hope this is of some help to you, as usual, I has wonderful time writing it. I cannot thank you all enough for reading my blog! The sweetest of dreams and the brightest of days to all my beloved readers! Until next time, Adieu!

CYCLING FUN ON OPENSIM´S MIKI KITI TIKI GRID!!! FREE BICYCLES!! FLOWING LAVA!!!!GIANT ICICLES!!!!ATTN NEWBIES!!!

Posted on March 12, 2012 by virtualchristine
Remember how I told you all in my last post to read Maria´s World on the Hpergrid Business Website?

Hello again my dears! Here is another mini post just to quickly clue you all in on  MIKI KITI TIKI a great little grid that I found perusing MARIA´S WORLDS . It was  just a little mention in an article, and as much as I was enjoying Maria saying her piece, I got very excited  at the word  bicycle. I rode a bike all the time in SL-  and I hadn´t seen  a single rideable one in OpenSim. So I clicked the link, in the article, that brought me to the Hyperica Directory listing. I copied the address, noted that it was in the middle regions, logged onto Craft,   clicked the the Sanctuary Scudder Gate in my landmark favorites, so I could jump from a middle region for my first visit( always a safer bet!), pasted the address into my world map search engine et voila!

There I was on Miki Kiti Tiki! Theses are all trophies from the bike races, which is what Maria had mentioned as an example of a Hypergrid social event. The bike in the back doesn´t work, by the way. To get a working bike, you have to fly back over the island behind me.
See the little square house on the right, under the zeppelin? Head over there!
There you go! The bikes come in four sizes, you wear them on your pelvis and you´re off! When you drive through the starting gate it begins timing you.
It is a sort of BMX all terrain track. And I do mean all. The bikes ride amazingly well, which is probably due to the Islands being a showcase/ test area for 3D programming.
If they want people to worry about time, they shouldn´t make everything so darned beautiful!
All terrain!
These plants were the only things that didn´t rezz in perfect coordination to my movement. Really impressive.  Now let´s ride into that cave.
OOOOOOH!
The BMX race becomes a maze!
This is a really big game! I can´t finish it today! But I´ll be back!

Unfortunatly, the bike didn´t rezz  properly off the Miki Kiti Tiki Grid, but hey,  I had a wonderful time on this great little world! Thanks to the whole Miki Kiti Tiki gang and of course, Maria! And thank you for joining me, my dearest dears! The sweetest of dreams and the brightest of days to you all, until next time, Adieu!

HYPERICA HYPERPORT UPDATE!!!!NEW FEATURES AT FANTASTIC OPENSIM RESOURCE!!! ATTN NEWBIES!!!

Posted on March 12, 2012 by virtualchristine
HYPERICA HYPERPORTS HAVE A NEW LOOK!

Hello my dearest dears! This is just a short update about some of the new features at the Hyperica Hyperports on OpenSim- a wonderful new resource for the metaverse traveller brought to you by Maria Korolov, who is no stranger to smoothing the way for the virtual denizen- Editor in Chief of HYPERGRID BUSINESS ; for the non business reader,  her articles in MARIA´S WORLDS are simple, interesting, and extremely informative. Her HYPERICA DIRECTORY is  the closest thing you will get to an SL style destination guide on the Hypergrid, and now she has opened  a massive 3 level Hyperport system in OpenSim itself. I was lucky enough to be there on the Hyperports opening day a couple of weeks ago, and even got an interview with a surprisinly coherent Maria, considering it was 4 am her time. Please see my Hyperport post for more details! And if you are having trouble with any of this terminology, take a look at my glossary!

Maria has added a snazzy lounge for her guests!
There are now billboards of upcoming events on the OS grid, as well as more advertising!
Maria has added the “dead gate” buttons she was talking about at the opening. If a gate just flat out doesn´t work, click the red bar behind it. Every gate has one. And remember everyone,not all grids are up and running all the time! Like the Lady says, keep coming back!
She´s given the Control Center a new look as well. Neat model!
There is a gate freebie area! Yes, these lovely gates are all FREE! So many choices! Thanks Maria!
On the balcony at Trombley International offices next door to Hyperica Hyperport Central. Look!They have a control tower now too! And don´t forget to hit Maria´s office on the ground floor, she has freebies under the desk! Aren´t her kids cute? Yeah, she has a family and does all this. Just accept it.

Thus endeth our little update! I hope you found it helpful. Thank you Maria for being so, well, Katherine Janeway about everything.  Thank you for joining me! All the best to all of you! Until next time, Adieu!
