¡¡¡¡¡Campeones, campeones!!!!!

We are quite civilised in RL (honest, guv!) but could not resist joining in on the dementia that followed the Spanish win at Euro 2008 last night. After all, we've been waiting to win a major football tournament for no less than 44 years!!!

It has been a long wait indeed but it has to be said that, when victory came, it did so in style. Well done Spain!!! ¡¡¡Así se hace!!! :D :D :D

OpenSim Revisited

Well I thought I would post a few more picks of my experimenting. I just cannot resit. A word of warning, although OpenSim is an excellent piece of programming it's not Second Life. SL is still miles ahead of this simulator. However, I cannot help but get excited at the prospects.


Added an extra Island ROFL.




Here is Happy, the sim I created, but no one is around :( - not so happy, or am I? Well you cant have it all, but this is the one limitation of running it on your own PC. It is possible to link other PC's via network cables, something I am experimenting with at the moment. The next step is to link your sim with other grids and share your simulator with others.





Put some clothes on Orion and tried some sculpties :) There is no content with OpenSim, you have to provide this yourself and it is not possible to transfer your things from SL. You can only use items you have created offline, you own, and are able to re-upload to this simulator. There are pieces of software available that allow you to reproduce items you have created in SL(TM) but these have limitations. Recognise the auto-rez barrel?

Check out the Ping Sim :D on the top right - zero Lag lol

Re - Noobed Again


What can I say, I cannot help but fiddle with computer software. Orion Raymaker is re-noobed in OpenSim. My own sim, running on my PC - thats a full sim :D But before everyone starts running for the link, the software is in alpha not beta, so you will have to scratch your head a little to get it working. Plus alot of functions do not work. Appart from that, if you're an open source person who loves to tinker, then this is for you!



Ok, in standard mode the physics is missing and you will not be able to script until you change some .ini settings. But you can fly, terraform, build, make sculpties and upload infinite textures :D
