Dear readers, today, I need your advice. I am currently working on a tutorial region that is supposed to give new users an introduction to OpenSim. It is aimed at people who are completely new to the software (hence haven't been in Second Life either) and thus don't know how to operate anything in it; when I have finished the region, ...

As already announced in the talk on TGIB's first year anniversary on January 16th, we launched several new services, and will (hopefully) include several more in the near future. I tried to lay down the reasons for this on Sunday, but in retrospect, I don't think I did a very good job at it. I'm no crowd magnet, and I'm ...

You might have noticed TGIB was unavailable for a few hours this weekend, and quite wonky for many more hours afterwards. The reason for this is that we moved the site to a dedicated server, which I rented at the beginning of the year. There are several reasons for this: First, it's plain cheaper. I had rented a region for over ...

One year ago, we launched TGIB as a blog about our Second Life / OpenSim endeavours. Technically, TGIB the site exists since 2004, and TGIB the project since 1999, but the last year was the first time it really gained some momentum, and setting some personal records. So far, this blog is the longest I have ever kept running; I ...

Yesterday we attended the two meetings of Pathfinder's Hypergrid Adventurer's Club, which announced to visit our very own public hypergrid standalone The Grey Inn Between. This was an extraordinary experience to me, and I want to thank all that attended and everyone I talked to for their kindness and interest. While I can see the numbers of visitors to this ...

Dear guests, on the 12th of August 2010 this website was down for several hours due to a server outage on our provider. Unfortunately, the issue was so severe that the server had to be changed, and the backups only  partly restored the site. As of yet, only the pictures and articles are up, and I'm working on getting all the ...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/embed/1B2O04TQ20A[/youtube] The Grey Inn is a hypergrid meeting place. To access it, set your home to a hypergrid enabled region and teleport from there. The adress is tgib.co.uk:9069 for access from HG 1.0, tgib.co.uk:9070:tgib for HG 1.5 i6 and tgib.co.uk:9710:tgib for OSGrid & compatibles. Inworld chat at the inn is linked to the channel #tgib on irc.freenode.net; chat gets transferred between both ...

Today, I sent out an email to several dozen grid operators of the OpenSim grid list (and other sources), containing a set of 13 questions about their grid. The purpose of this is to give an overview of the current opensim grids out there and their differences. I already received several answers, but many are still unanswered, so to be ...

Okay, this is a short post, but since nobody follows my Plurks, but at least some people keep following this blog, it's the only way for me to get the word out about this really really cool thing. Until next tuesday, March 11th, wolfire.com is running the "Humble Indie Bumble", where you can get five indie games, DRM free, for ...
