Abandoned Land Finder!

If you are looking for help searching for acquiring abandoned land in a region for your setup, here is a great tool to do so. I have added it to our tools page here.

This tool allows you to automatically scan an entire region to identify any abandoned land parcels. Abandoned land can be bought for L$1 per square meter by submitting a ticket to Linden Lab.

The Abandoned Land Finder reports land details as needed to request purchase - just copy and paste from the land finder report into your ticket.

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/ArtiZan-Abandoned-Land-Finder-Automatic-parcel-scanner-sends-IM-and-email-reports-HUD-rezzable/21533770

• Scans entire region and identifies any Abandoned Land parcels.
• Reports parcel size, location, date resumed, and any info recorded.
• Gives SLURL link to teleport to parcel location.
• Can be set to automatically scan daily or weekly and send email reports.
• HUD version included. Works in "no-script" zones.

DSL Blimp on the SL Valentine's Love Boat Cruise

DSL Blimp on Valentines Love Boat Cruise

Drivers Blimping

We had a little river cruise yesterday to the Bellisseria Fairgrounds for the SL Valentine's Love Boat Cruise. The Sim was quickly full so had to maneuver around it. One of the Moles used our navHUD to create the path. As far as I know, this is the first time LL has used our navHUD to do something. I guess we are getting noticed? Leave a comment if you know otherwise.
 

Zombies And bin Laden Oh My

 

On last weeks grid drive, some of us encountered something we have not seen for quite a while... a sim attack. It stopped all traffic and in fact, I had to re-log while trying to move my overturned Ajax away from its position. If you stayed there long enough, your graphics card would overload and stall. 

We encountered one of these at winter camp in 2019 as well. bin Laden was quickly removed after several drivers reported him to LL.
