Tonight I will temporarily suspend retrieval of new names/regions from #SecondLife .

Because I need every single bandwidth I have to pull in the hi-res map tiles from the #SecondLifeMaps server.

So something happened to the alliance behind New Haven, but rest assured, the creator is alive and well and still active in #SecondLife

In fact, they have started a new project:

It's interesting to see how many regions #SecondLife has reserved, if one turns off the filtering.

For example, on the northeast corner you can see Gaeta I, II, III, and IV. All looking finished-like.

Let's see if Bsky can handle transparent PNGs, because Xitter surely can't.

A map of the WHOLE #Bellisseria Supercontinent of #SecondLife is sized 19'986 x 24'576 pixels (491 MEGApixels), and as PNG consumes 333.1 MiB of storage space.

A simplified Second Life Map highlighting new ( <2 days old ) regions colored in yellow, pointed by a red arrow. The Heterocera continent is labeled on the lower right corner, and the new regions are to the northwest of Heterocera. A partial screenshot of the output of the program I used to list new regions, stating the region's location (grid sector and coordinates), age, and name.
