NPC's and MOAP and a longing for hypergrid

Doubletake!
After going to the OSSL NPC section of the OpenSim wiki, I turned on MOAP and NPC's.

Now, I've played with these features before back on OSGrid, but out here at the end of the metaverse, you have to entertain yourself in some way- so I made a friend- literally.

I thought it would be cute to have an avatar keep constant vigil at the seat near the door should anybody come by- of course maybe all of 3 people have logins right now, but.. I'm optimistic ^^; Which brings me to hypergrid.

We're still working on hoping to get this put on the hypergrid but no signs of it yet, still having firewall issues, waiting on the server admin. I considered hosting at home, but I think I'll stick it out with this setup as long as possible, the server is really nice and we have free use of it.

For now, I think I'll continue to tinker with OpenSim and report any neat trinkets I find. Until next update!

Beginnings!

Well, well! Thanks to OpenSim's OAR utilities, I was able to salvage old builds from previous projects, and Sabishii is coming along nicely- I was able to bring in the cafe I had built, and now there's a shot of it on the home page :) We now have two regions, the main region, Sabishii, and then the test region, Holodeck. We may have to move to MySQL soon before it becomes too late to make easy backups, but I think we'll wait until we have a few more people.
