a handful of people have tried to create a Mac version of sim-on-a-stick but have run into various impasses. i even tried, which is laughable because i might have a total of 20 minutes Mac experience, and came across an issue when trying to get MAMP running MAMP is Mac, Apache, MySQL, and PHP and [...]

…or maybe a stylized/cartoonized USB stick with a cute globe (or city or OpenSim logo) on it, to represent SOAS. Not that I don’t like Ener’s logos *swoon!* this is very crude (2 clips arts stuck together), but maybe a stylized version of it: Maybe with a PINK globe ;p

sim-on-a-stick is yours and even at 4 regions, it’s yours to rule over as you see fit! part of that is your name and even though Simona Stick is the coolest name ever – you may be like me and prefer to be yourself wherever you may go. with all the grids and deployments of [...]

phew, finally! sim-on-a-stick 0.7.3 seems to be okay, although i had a few hiccups – i hope they are now gone! =) there is one single bat start file but, as suggested by Justin, there is also an alternate start bat. as always, you can manually start it all and i have not run into [...]

sim-on-a-stick 0.7.3 is nearly ready for official release BUT . . . just a bit more testing before it goes on the real site i also need to add a back-up starting method as suggested by Justin Clark-Casey’s comments on yesterday’s post. my testing plus that of Breen’s shows the single starting method works fine but some [...]

it always seems to take me a few hours to make the updated sim-on-a-stick packages, i don’t know why, it’s not complicated. it’s operator error for sure because there always seems to be one place where i second guess what to do and then i start all over again. but it’s not stressful and i [...]

last October i wrote about a creative use of sim-on-a-stick as an art catalogue. Beacara, the creator of the concept, was overwhelmed by requests and not only ran out of the OpenSim loaded USB sticks but the town hosting the art event did too! Beacara now has a video of her art catalogue on a stick (below) and [...]

this is highly specific but might help some people using sim-on-a-stick if you get the MoWeS error that Apache is not running, your OpenSim grid should still work fine. the thing that won’t work is Diva’s nifty Wifi admin panel. that panel let’s you create new user accounts (in case you don’t want to be Simona [...]

a really neat thing for OpenSim 0.7.2 is the addition of full on robot chubbies, oh wait . . . that means something nasty i believe (my humour never made it to sophomoric, it’s still pretty much middle school) =p non-player characters, or bots, open up some neat possibilities from university campus guides to zombies [...]

i was very excited to see Diva Canto’s new Diva Distro this morning! =) and that means a new version of sim-on-a-stick is coming soon, probably this week if you are even more eager than i am, you can use her nifty built-in update feature to update your current version of sim-on-a-stick – here’s a [...]

i’m leaning pretty heavily to claiming the Corsair Survivor as the official sim-on-a-stick stick because of its massive funk factor, decent price, and initial speed test results. however, it will need to see about a month’s worth of my own OpenSim activity to see how well it works day-to-day. so far it runs well and i can’t [...]

Maria does the OpenSim monthly count and graciously includes sim-on-a-stick numbers in her insightful stats posts sim-on-a-stick is a fairly approachable way to try OpenSim. it seems to work on most PCs with the occassional issue but overall seems pretty tight. the reason it works so well has nothing to do with me! it’s all [...]

on the last update (last week) of OpenSim on a USB stick there was no viewer and this was for two reasons. the first was for size – it saves 44 megs of download, and the second was because the last non-experimental Imprudence was from back in October now that Imprudence is updated and seems [...]

Dream Walker (DreamWalker McCallister inSL) is a dear SL friend who made the jump with me to OpenSim and is my personal scripting slave. well, i don’t think i am too demanding and she has converted my little follow bot called EnerBot over to work very well in OpenSim (thank you and he is so [...]

i have been looking into sim-on-a-stick a little for the Mac because Mac people deserve fun too! well actually, i would love to see a stick version for Mac types because an awful lot of educators use Macs and sim-on-a-stick offers some creative flexibility for educators how great would it be to be able to work on [...]
