Ok: Perrie. Stay.

Now to make the other hundred or so missing.

And here is another tidbit:

UUID "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001" is used in SL.

It is a sound.

A starter's pistol shot.

It commemorated the launch of the world.

 

And I'll try to be around more often but making no promises.

//Will preload a sound when rezzed, then play it when 'touched'.
string sound = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001";//sound in inventory or UUID of a sound.
 
default
{
    on_rez(integer start_param)
    {
        llSetText("Preloading....",<1,0,0>,1);
        llPreloadSound(sound);
        llSetText("",<1,1,1>,1);
    }
    touch_start(integer num_detected)
    {
        llPlaySound(sound, 1.0);
    }
}

Works great!

Hello all

I thought I would share a photo of a very unique occasion in SL history....

This is a very historic and famous corner of Da Boom region, the oldest sim region and centrepoint of the Second Life grid.

Today at precisely 8:46:40pm SLT, I created a brand new prim on top of the Oldest Known Prim - which was originally created at 8:46:40pm SLT on 25th January 2002.

The 2 prims are exactly 20 years of age apart.  I will call my newer prim the +20 Prim !

 

Top prim: +20 Prim.  Lower prim: Oldest Known Prim.  Location: Da Boom (0,0 corner). Date: 25th January 2022

This, right now, is my favourite thread in the forum ever.

What amazes me most is not just that SL is 20 years old, but that I've been around (with my first account) for more than three quarters of that time.

Welcome back, Perrie! I was thinking about you only a few days ago, wondering where you were hiding and if you were doing fine!

Let's not forget Avi Bar-Zeev! He is better known for his later achievements in 3D and virtual reality of course but he started at Linden Lab where he was put in charge of developing an in-world building system. The result was the allmighty prim! There are lots of avis in Second Life but only one Avi.

He needs to come back and finish what he started.

Can you post the SLURL for this please?  TYVM!

There is also another copy of that prim here:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Welsh/218/204/25

And Erwin's little museum on that parcel has some other fascinating items such as a copy of the first prim dog.  Also there is a slide show of the parade at the SL1B celebration.
