The computers in the computer rooms look like they are from the 60's, and so does the furniture. :P

What a great build. I had a lot of fun running through those lower decks. An amazing level of detail. The engineering panels looked great, as well as the pylons to the nacelles.

Thanks, I got one. And, I always like running into the Petra caves chamber.

That terrain looks great, but the sky also looks really good. It looks like you painted it, although trying to paint a "glow" is very difficult.

That's a well written article, really concise.

I can see the portal to my grid in this snapshot. :P

Long ago, I had heard that financial systems were running on old systems. ... I friend of mine, working for a major airline about ten years ago, told me that the airline ticketing system they were using was written in cobol. But that they were in the process of porting it over to something newer. I guess that when you spend time and money setting something up, it is difficult, and costly to upgrade.

Just like the power distribution system. The one we're using has been in use for about 150 years. There are better ways of doing it, but the cost to switch would be large, and the will to upgrade is poor.

While hitting the gongs and the bells in the meditation spot, I got an idea for the creation of a room in my region that would describe the dark matter effect.

I enjoyed the Mountain. Running through all those tunnels and ending up at all sorts of caverns. The wooden planks with torches, the pirate ship, the stalactites, the giant rock faces, the steampunk parts. It all looked like a lot of work.
I can tell I didn't run through every tunnel, that will have to be for another time.

Years ago, after just a few weeks of study I was able to notice that there was never a "big bang". It is just difficult for some to admit that they were wrong, and so the big bang theory is stuck within conventional thought.

Is it so hard to imagine that there was no beginning? Must everything be anthropomorphized?

I got there with this placed into my map: junglefriends.opensim.fun:8002/Bella Terra

It is in a small shop just outside of the main entrance.

I'd add Fred Beckhusen to this list.

The Fool Moon event sounds like my kind of event.

The world exists because it is perfect harmony. And so, somewhere out there in opensim land an All Drama zone is forming all on its own, in response to your sim, and in there the puppet mime could be king.

I must have been too busy to notice that a couple of months ago when the cold and winter had descended on your shire, for I would have liked to have seen that instead. I may have to wait another year before I can visit and witness the cold. I prefer the cold. Nonetheless I enjoyed being ignored by the town guards, it let me loot and ransack what I wanted. I didn't have anyone else with me, for I would have had better luck stealing the ship at the harbor. I made the mistake of trying to tackle it myself. I instead fell in between the edge of the ship and edge of the port, down into the deep. I am unable to fly, so I fell really far. I felt what others mean by Davy Jone's locker. This ended my attempts at pillaging the town.

"also the other 5 friends I made."

Too funny.

I have four. I created one on SL long ago, maybe in 2009. I created a second avatar when I started up my own grid a few years ago. Then I created the third one on kitely to act as an outside avatar to help me debug my own grid. And finally, I recently created an avatar, also on my own grid, to test Corrade.

The first three all look about the same, and have the same first name, the last one is very different since I may not be in total control of it as some point in the future.

LOL. Why does it look like you are peeing on Priscilla.

If opensim had a bumper sticker, this should be it.

I had been accustomed to footsteps in VR, but I noticed that they were a bit lacking here.

I second Destiny's comment.

How odd. It was just a few days ago I was working on something and I thought "this area needs some steampunk tools". lol.

I'll drop by later and pick some up.
