New at the stores are the Bento/BOM dinkies which I received as a generous gift. This Pirate outfit is specially designed for these Bento Dinkies, so be aware that it won't fit the Open Sim Dinkies, since they have other sizes. Watch carefully the signs at the stores which clothings you choose. I offer freebie Dinkie Bento avatars including clothes. And freebie clothings for OS Dinkie avatars. But I don't offer OS Dinkie avatars. These can be bought at CGC grid. Every weekend, new outfits for both Dinkie types, stay tuned!

More outdoor holiday decor (or indoor if you shrink them...or...have quite a large room :D).
Some Christmas balls, some plain, some say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas.
They are out in the Christmas section of the shop. Ho Ho Ho

New Release at Encantada. It's ready and out at the shop. The Encantada Pergola. It's user friendly and has 4 different set up options and 3 different wood tones.
The touch menu script was provided by my friend Aaack at Arcadia Shop, I'm super grateful for his help on this one.
You're covered in this Pergola, rain or shine day or night :). You can have it just plain, with a canopy, a light or whatever combo you choose.

Sometimes, when life gives you lemons, you just want the lemons. They are incredibly useful in the kitchen, they work for cleaning, cooking and drink making. Yes, they taste sour that's what makes them so fabulous! Have them on hand all the time...virtually.

Follow the Dolphin! The updated SFsail boats can now use the autopilot to follow other users, other boats, or anything. Rez our wandering dolphin and say 'follow dolphin' to follow him around.

The new vendors now have magazines with a new script version without OSSL modified by the wonderful Typhaine Artez. Thank you very much, Typhaine!

Get your updated vendor on the landing point at Stark!

Due to the move from Kitely to Zeta Worlds, I am a little late with the March edition. However, it will be delivered shortly. Promised!

See you!

As no-one else who was at the meeting has posted this yet, here's kind of good news from Sunday:

OSgrid will not shut down forever!

It will shut down on December 31st at midnight, yes. But it'll shut down in order to wipe the asset server. Same thing as the Asset Reset last year. Then it will come back online.

This means your accounts and your avatars are safe. They will not be deleted. You will not have to register new accounts or create new avatars. You will get to keep the avatars which you have now. They'll just have empty inventories.

This also means you've got time until December 30th to save the stuff you have in OSgrid that you need to save. But please don't wait until the last moment. If all those who can export IARs do it at the same time, this will overload the asset server. (Yes, IARs are safe. They're copies of your inventory. Your inventory is not poisoned, even though the asset server itself is.)

If you have land attached to OSgrid, you may export an IAR. If not, I myself recommend you to send the items that you absolutely need saved to an avatar in another grid (and items that can be picked up from freebie stores right now don't fall under this category). Basically the same as last year, remember?

If you don't have land, but you absolutely need an IAR export for some reason (and laziness is no such reason, sorry), you may send albertIr Landar an e-mail, and he'll export an IAR for you. He will need your OSgrid login password for that. Again, don't wait until the deadline and ask him then. Even albertIr can only export so many IARs at any given time, and if 100 users mail him to export their IARs on December 30th, he most certainly won't get all 100 done before the shutdown.

One thing will change: OSgrid won't let anyone and everyone attach sims just like that anymore, starting next year. Only "trusted" hosters will be allowed to attach sims. Don't ask me what exactly that means; the OSgrid board hasn't published a definition yet either. I've overheard at the meeting that those who have sims attached to OSgrid right now count as trusted. But don't take this for official information.

If you want official information from the board: Wait until the OSgrid wiki is updated.

🎃 WEDNESDAY AT MIDNIGHT IS OPEN! 🎃
It’s Halloween time! Tired of all the TRICKS this year? Fred thought it was time for a little TREAT!
How about 594 minutes — that’s 9.9 HOURS — of motion-capture animations?
Wednesday at Midnight is officially OPEN! While you’re exploring and hunting for Halloween gifts, there is something extra waiting for those clever enough to find it. CAN YOU FIND THE SECRET ANIMATION LOCATION?
Hidden somewhere inside Wednesday at Midnight is a special collection containing numerous animations prepared by Fred Beckhusen of Outworldz.
The original motion-capture data comes from the Carnegie Mellon University Graphics Lab Motion Capture Database. Fred converted the motion data into animations that can be used by OpenSim avatars.
And there’s more new DreamGrid technology behind this year’s hunt!
The Wednesday at Midnight hunt gifts were created and uploaded using Fred’s new DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader in DreamGrid.
Want to learn how to use the DAE/GLTF/FBX Uploader yourself? Visit Outworldz and look in the right-hand column for Fred’s latest DreamGrid articles and documentation. https://outworldz.com/home.htm THE ANIMATIONS ARE FREE — PLEASE RESPECT THE LICENSE

Now come explore Wednesday at Midnight, hunt down the Halloween gifts, visit our rather unusual neighbors... and see if you can discover the secret location containing 9.9 HOURS of animations! Look for the "Thing" Candlesticks~
Happy Haunting! 👻🎃 three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Wednesday at Midnight Huge Hug and Thank you to FRED~ He spent numerous hours to make this happen for all of us!
