For the past 7 months I’ve been surveying and documenting the regions in the Secondlife Main Grid and reporting weekly new changes on SLUniverse , Here is a link to the my thread. This Blog has become quiet since then, so I’m going to investigate populating it with these weekly reports (including back reports). I intend posting both here and at SLUniverse but will be looking at making my SL Region database available through this site.

I’ve transferred copies of all SLUniverse posts about new regions to this blog. from the earliest on 23rd March 2008.

Another 54 regions were added today to the new continent - as with yesterdays, most have been reserved for auction Continue reading →

A new Mainland Continent appeared over night, 72 regions have been named and are now visible - Most of the sims have been marked as candidates for auction.

It can be found just North of the Corsica Continent, directly the east of the Academic Sim zone
(Thanks to Modesta Heying for drawing my attention to this here my surveying picked up the new sims but I wouldn’t have spotted the new area I wrote my weekly summary) Continue reading →

I think recent rumours that Anshe was cutting down on estates lands can be put to rest - 56 of the 96 new sims which just went online (within the past 24 hours) are Dreamland ACS opensims - all named with a spanish theme

(these rumours were reported on The SLUniverses Forums)
The regions are : Continue reading →

Finally after a few weeks Commerical development has started in Milehouse. The Dancing Beach Club has been opened and has a small mall attached , 3 out of the 12 or so spots in the Mall have been filled with vendors

The club itself is currently empty except for 3 campers

All original unsold land has changed ownership from Kirby McMahon to Dusty Outlander. The land is all back on sale at the same inland price of L$22000 per 2048sqm (14 plots in total) so it sounds more like an administrative move rather than a totally new ownership. - The change occurred at about 00:20 , today November 8th.

Researchers at University College London in the UK have designed a SL Bot which they use to research peoples virtual personal space. Indications are that avatars show similar behaviour to RL research, moving away from the bot when pressed to closely , with women being less sensitive. It doesn’t mention known cultural differences in personal space but I’d assume those would apply as well .

The auction for the Milehouse SIM ended 15 minutes ago with a top bid of $2,000. In total there were 10 bids . Land traffic rose to 785  and I personally witnessed 12 other Avatars visiting the SIM in the past 36 hours 5 of these being newly spawned in the past 2 days.  Ownership of the land has yet to change, still recording Governor Linden as owner but I assume there are several days admin before the land is transferred.

11:10pm - Ownership now showing as Kirby McMahon, Flattening of land currently taking place
