I was cleaning up my disk and found the attached image circa February 2004. It is a rendered image of the world's terrain then. I think Ezhar provided the terrain levels and Cadroe did the rendering, but my legs are grey, my ears are gnarled. my eyes are old and bent.

Edited: because I forgot what year this is.

The world was teensy then :) There are more private islands now than there were total sims in Malachi's picture.

I need to update the Cartifex web site. Phase 2 of mapping is postponed until it can be more fully automated, i.e. indefintely. Or the Lindens could just publish height maps of the sims :)

We use to be able to walk through every sim in less than 10 hours!

Back in the daze!

Just recently I walked from Fuchsia to the SE corner of the mainland.
(I forget that sim's name and can't look at a map right now). It took
nearly an hour and a half just to make that trip never mind walking to
every sim. :)

Yeah, that takes me back. And I thought it was big back then.

Wow, it's a little island compared to today!
Kinda reminds me of old maps where the undiscoverd parts were missing

Hmm... I think this image might pre-date February 2004. I'm pretty sure that the first southern sims, including Abbotts, were added in January 2004. I could be wrong, tho.
