Harmonizing OpenSim and Second Life Grid work
Smal is beautiful, at least on the SL Grid. There seems to be many attractive SL parcels for sale right now and I gave myself a special two-year Rezday present–abandoning a bit of Amida to pounce on a comparable area in the heart of what was originally called the Outlands. I abondoned a comparable area so that I would not raise my tier fees (secured property tax) to Linden Lab. No time to wax poetic tonight, but I’ve wanted this address for two years now. To display some SIMGIS product, I redesigned the 1:25 scale bare-earth model to be a nearly 1:42 scale model and now have copies both in Amida and the new land in Stanford at 248/248.
Although the SL region’s name refers to the same California governor whose land became a nearby university, it is the alley in San Francisco rather than the university that inspired the name. Stanford was the fourth simulator region in the SL mainland grid.
