A Chance to Make Anything, and What Do We Make?!

Seems to be a trend going on with open sandbox worlds and what Jokay and I feel needs to be there. It appears a world is not complete without a TARDIS. Below you can see Jokay’s newest creation in Minecraft! It is quite large and I’m sure it will have a pool and a bar. You can read more about the server and it’s uses for education here – Massively Minecraft (more…)

New Blog Pavilion on JokaydiaGRID

Blog Pavilion 1, originally uploaded by – Azzura –.

The newest community tool on JokaydiaGRID is our Blog Pavilion. Where each person that lives on JGrid has a spot to display their blog and link to it. This lets everyone see what the members of the grid are working on and maybe get a few new ideas from following each other.

Where Did My Prims Go?!!?!

Were you ever in the middle of building something and you had everything just right and you go to move a few prims and POOOOF – they are gone? You look around and they are no where. You look in your lost & found and in your object inventory….Nothing! So you start over with that section that went bye-bye.

Chances are they aren’t really gone. They went to Prim Limbo – or basically, they took a trip to 0,0,0 on your Sim. Next time this happens to you, don’t start crying right away! Head on down to the South West corner of your Sim and aim your camera under the terrain. There you just may find what you are missing – plus a few other things you didn’t know you were missing!

Azz gets Tough on Prims and New Look

Azz got a new look – found a new skin and hair while Hypergridding. Picked these up in Paris Place secondlife://88.191.79.199:9009:Machinilab

She looks 15 years younger…not what I was trying to pull off, but I guess I will get use to it. I’m in Julz Mini Market stocking the coolers with goodies – Soda, Pizza, Ice Cream, Milk, Water, etc. Stop by for a drink and hotdog on the JokaydiaGRID – secondlife://jokaydia.metaverseworlds.com:9000:Western Institute 3

Back into Virtual Worlds

Peeking at my blog I notice I haven’t talked at all about getting back into the Virtual World building scene. Sooo, I’ll do it now!

The being of July, I got a message from Second Life from a person that owns land around the land I own. They wondered if I would be willing to sell my land so they could connect some of their property. I thought about selling and totally moving out of SL, but my Safety Girl store does pretty well, and pays for all my SL needs, and I have relocated too many times already. So instead – I set up a land swap with him, which turned my T shaped property into a straight line, and it let him connect his property. Win Win.

It gave me back my urge to create something…so I started messing around some. Then I noticed that my long time SL friend Jokay, happen to have recently started up her own personal Grid – JokaydiaGRID – I signed up and popped in to see what she was up to. A few days later I caught up with her to do a little catching up…and she handed me my own Sim to play with and mentioned she would like to have me come help her out with some projects if I felt like it.

A little bit of background on Jokay – if you look back in some other posts about SL, I mention her a few times. She is one of the first people I really talked to in SL. We were neighbors for about a year. She works on projects in which educators use virtual worlds to teach students and hold workshops. Something that is starting to snowball into something really cool and I think will evolve into the latest and greatest way to teach…instead of sitting at a desk copying notes being bored to death.

So now I have a new home in the Open Sim world.

Mirinesse Campus of Labs

Welcome to Mininesse (Also the name of my Swashbuckler on EQ2) My own little island with a hypergrid smack dab in the middle. jokaydia.metaverseworlds.com:9000:mirinesse if you want to hypergrid to me.

The current project on JokaydiaGRID is a build for training students in the hotel and travel industry. So we are making a role play environment so they can demonstrate and act out situations and meet up to learn in an engaging way. Below are some of the builds going on and you can also check out some screenshots at my Flickr Site.
