D&J 5th year anniversary

Friday 22-11 i attended the 5th anniversary of D&J's and celebrated with what is likely the oldest club in the metaverse. For the occasion we were not on the close encounter ( D&J Home region ) but you can visit the region by finding  "Feriae Quinquennial" on the map.

With 5 years of non stop party's every friday, (and trust me, i have done so for 3 years in SL. this takes dedication, devotion, and loads of it ) Dorothea and Jay are true "Pillars of Community". Respect, and a big thanks for all the fun & good times are in place here, and i assume i can safely post this is on behalf of a lot of OSG residents. Keep rocking, and hope to be at the 10 year celebration as well.

The party was great, and busy, I saw a lot of familiar names (couldn't recognise anyone, as all were dressed up in Roman outfits), and also talked to some people i hadn't seen in months. If you have some spare time, you should visit this region just to check out the build. It is detailed, and beautifully made.
A Video impression thingy of the party can be found HERE .

Software

In case you need more / different free tools that you can't find in the links section you might want to browse the list in our freshly updated "Downloads" page. (it's available under the button in the top Menu).

The downloads are not necessarily directly related to opensimulator or metaverses, but can still be very useful, as they link directly to download pages from their creator rather than vague download or torrent sites. Like our links section below the posts, the download page will be frequently updated with fresh goodies, so expect it to grow over time.To avoid making the list too long, check Ninite first, for basic needs.

Some of the software you will already know or even have installed, others might be very useful, but might have gone unnoticed. It's a handy reference list if you need something specific quickly, not having to click around search results and you avoid being bombarded with adds and laggy download managers, toolbars and other crap. Mind it's just a list of software, which may or  may not work for your specific quest.

In any case, hope it's useful to you Enjoy !

OneHundred

100 what ? Posts on this Blog. This is the 100th post in Red Dragon Club's Blog.Wohoo !!

In the past 3 years we gathered a lot of information on OSgrid, and the various tools you can use to enhance the daily virtual life, and create content for the metaverse. With 21K views, the blog remains an underground place you have to stumble about. Do not underestimate the content on this page though. Many questions i ran into in my 8 year metaverse travels have their solutions hidden in the posts and links here. 

The next logical upgrade to this Blog should be a gallery, and direct downloads, but since a lot of things can be already found in the link pages, and it being a lot of work to categorise and index them, i don't have a lot of incentive to start building pages for it. So the blog will be maintained and updated monthly as it has been in the past years. 

At Red Dragon Regions about 80 teleporters have been placed on strategic places, so you can teleport around to places on the regions you would else likely miss, due to the builds being so huge. Since i'm slowly running against the boundaries of what this machine can handle, the V8 builds are up less often. ( if all 18 regions are up, there is too little RAM left to decently run a viewer and browser).

I have had some requests to start hosting party's again, but before i can, i will have to build a new island, with a smaller club and less prims. The main region has simply got too many prims for people to be able to party hard. It will lag your pants off if you start running animations with 10+ people i recon.  This will however not stop me from building until at least 45K prims there. Just because I can.

I hope you enjoy this Blog. If it is to any use to you, feel free to subscribe. If you don't feel like subscribing, you can also choose to add me to your G+ circles or follow Red_dragon_club on twitter. It will update you when i release any brain farts on this blog.  So much for this yadayada topic, i'm going to pop into OSG to find at what time the Primwords game starts today.

Halloween part II

If you missed out on the OSG halloween party, you still have a chance to exhibit your most spooky outfit at upcoming D&J's Halloween themed friday party.

The region is Close Encounter, and  Doro & Jay will be your host and DJ. Mind that for the occasion you will need to be costumed. People that walk in with their "regular" avatars will have their souls eaten, and have to stay and cleanup the prims and do the dishes when the party has ended...  Well, maybe not, but the request is to wear a custom avatar for the occasion, and contribute to the atmosphere of the party. Mind the time displayed is GMT.

Unfortunately all pictures I shot at the OSG party are saved in inventory ( have to export,  open TGA, convert to JPG, normalise, resize etc. before i can upload, not going to happen anytime soon ) and the video i shot has an IM window open, so hopefully others have shot some footage. I'll dig through OSG gallery and G+  for them later and update this topic with links if i find any.

At Red Dragon Club X region a new furniture store & art gallery opened, by RedVerse Waspe. If you look for custom prim furniture or abstract art, you might want to pop by and visit here. All his work is available full perm and free to copy. You can find it in the main building, 3rd floor, right wing. Teleporters will be placed at the entrance to the building somewhere after the regions are updated with the latest release of OSG.
