Our final stop this week was on the action-packed OpenSIm Life Grid, run by Bill Blight who took time out of his day to be with us.
George Equus: Hi Bill
Lucy Afarensis: rezzed fast for me
Bill Blight: great, I like to hear that
Sunbeam Magic: wow Bill you got all dressed up for us he hee
Bill Blight: yeah actually put a shirt and shoes on .. I feel overdressed
Thirza Ember: Beers and cheers that sounds like fun
Bill Blight: yes we have it every tuesday and friday nights... Sunny was the inspiration for it... she has the morning Coffee and Chat, so I spun one on the other side of the clock... Sunbeam could very easily inspire both beers and cheers ... LOL
Sunbeam Magic: shuffles feet and looks down at toes
Thirza Ember: Bill, so what's the story of the grid?
Bill Blight: well, I am disabled/retired .. Been in virtual worlds since they existed , and was starting to get a little disappointed in the state of some of the community. So I formed this grid with the motto of "Social not Stuff" Want it to be a place to come and DO things with friends not just compare inventories ..
snowbody Cortes: great motto !
Bill Blight: So I started building this grid with destinations to DO things in mind, not just shop. Stuff is great, people are better ..
Thirza Ember: You're well known for your scripting prowess
Bill Blight: well if it flies or drives on water here, I did the scripts from the ground up, so I'm not too shabby, I run the bleeding edge of OS code here, the latest and sometimes not the greatest, but I script specifically for it... my scripts are not made to work anywhere, tuned for here. Some grids that are on older code, sometimes don't like to talk to me, for the most part things work ok better most of the time... something about how I build, You will not see cramped or crammed spaces on my builds. I build wide open. Love the big spaces. more room to cam and move the most cramped places on my builds here are the houses, and my bunker which is camouflaged up on the hill
Thirza Ember: thanks Drang for the TP, crashed again
Bill Blight: Welcome back Crash .. I mean Thirza
snowbody Cortes: eheh

But it was already midnight here in Europe and better angels demanded a sensible bedtime... so we left our American cousins to the watersports, with a promise to return. 'Social not Stuff' is an excellent credo, one to live by.
That concludes the three part trip for this week. Thanks to all the grid owners for sharing their worlds with us. Thanks to you for reading about it! Different parts of the world, different styles and themes, yet one thing links them all - generous creativity. Viva OpenSim
