i’m a virtual world hermit, no doubt about that – but it’s all good because i want to complete the Enclave Harbour project before getting out there more. of course, i still get distracted and this week i started enerhax.com as a freebie site. there are only a few things on it, but i’ll keep [...]

yesterday i posted about Dorena Verne successfully configuring sim-on-a-stick for hypergrid use. it’s an interesting hack because it may be easier to just run the OSGrid preconfigured setup but there could be advantages to being able to hypergrid from your actual USB-based OpenSim grid i posted the Google gobbledeegook transalation which should in no way reflect the good work Dorena did. luckily, [...]

people have extended sim-on-a-stick like mad! from doing multi-user where several PCs can log into one stick to now being able to hypergrid from the stick! that’s right, go visit friends on OSGrid right from your stick! but . . . you have to be German Beacara, the innovative avatar that created a well received art [...]

hmm, i never thought that i’d be surfing sites like ASTM International searching for sewer pipe colours! it turns out that apart from sewer pipe standards, they even deal with international toothpaste standards! just don’t mix the two! o_O i’m still working on my toilet building and part of that are the wastewater turbines that convert “grey” [...]

Maria slapped me with quite a gauntlet – challenging me to create a hypergate i know everyone loves Stargate and their gate is a very cool gate but . . . i like something more based in history and art and thus decided to rip-off the Android bot and make a Vitruvian Gate! plus i never [...]

moving from Second Life to OpenSim is challenging and can be very frustrating. especially if you have spent a lot of time making your home, running a business, or being a content creator. in some ways it was easier for me and it is easier for n00bs, like Mera. we were all n00bs at some [...]

OpenSim is great because it is far more open than Second Life is, but is it too open? OpenSim does not have a general currency and that is good and bad. everyone is used to the economic model of Second Life – say you want to sell a chair, well just set the price on [...]

\o/ for Maria at Hypergridbusiness.com! she has put together a list of hypergrid-enabled opensim regions and just listed us! the site is called Hyperica and list only those sims that are hypergridded. for example, we have 16 sims and of those, 4 are hypergridded – so a grid may have a bunch of sims (like [...]

one of the neat things about many second life alternatives is the ability to hypergrid. the first hypergrid was done with second life and an external IBM sim. a few years ago, IBM invested big bucks into virtual worlds and i remember reading, at the time, that they had a 12 million dollar budget! they [...]

subQuark also blogged about our new sandbox last night (you think we were excited or something) and Maria from hypergridbusiness.com asked if we were hypergrid enabled. the last i knew was that we were not (but it was something we wanted from the start) anyway, subbie contacts me to double check. i say “uhhh, je [...]
