What makes OSGrid special?
Some grid veterans weigh in... including Dan 'pretty boy' Banner, shown here
plus news of the musical fun coming up over the weekend of the 30 - 31 July

A word to the wise... Please use extreme caution if you choose to execute the console command "fcache clear". When I discovered this command I thought it was wonderful because it would unblock the ability to tp to another grid when it became blocked because you'd just been there earlier, and the map would report "region not found". Here is the reason. While fcache clear does a great job clearing the fcache, it has some other side effects. In my case it caused a discrepancy between my mariadb database, and my rezzed world, which resulted in the items in the cache i cleared being deleted in my database. I wasn't even aware until about a week later. To make matters worse I advised a friend to use fcache clear, and it destroyed his grid. We realized what was happening and stopped using it, and the problems went away, though he was quite angry with me for some time. So if you do use it, just be aware that problems may be down the road to show up yet, including many items missing textures from your database when you have to restore it for whatever reason. So I apologize to anyone I recommended to use this function. Don't do it. It's for your own good.

"I Am So".
Whether it's inattention, inertia, ineptitude, or some other kind of in-thing, all too many people are lacking a profile picture. Are you to be counted among these unfortunates? Or perhaps you have grown tired of your profile picture and are looking for something a bit more...different.

Problem solved. Come to our new Profile Picture Shop where you have your choice of countless (mainly because I'm too lazy to count) interesting, intriguing, inexplicable, or some other kind of in-thing, profile pictures.

Some call me weird, to which I say, "I am so!" These pictures may be suitable for display in your home if not your profile. Whatever the case, just be ready to say, "I am so!"

Visit the new Profile Picture Shop, especially if you are bored and have nothing better to do. (Which is kinda why I made the shop!)

Although natural risks exist in Novale's Ocean in Summer
The biggest risk is not even being able to enjoy Novale
If you tried to come and crashed, try the following :
Avatar>preferences>Sound & Media>Voice>UNCHECK Enable Voice
Do that prior to TP to Novale and enjoy but watch for jaws!

There are nearly 25 merchants, hailing from multiple grids around the Hyperverse, that are participating with me in a massive sales event all week - sales prices and freebies galore. Supporting is caring, and encourages more quality creators to set up shop in opensim to provide us all with the things that make outfitting our avatars and regions easy. For instance, I'm not a clothing maker, so I get all my clothes from original opensim creators.

The merchants at OSFest2022 have banded together to create a unique merchants sales event from regions all across the grid! It starts right now on July 18th and runs through the 24th. The good thing in virtual world tech is inventory is never an issue but time can be... unless you get in world as soon as you can and start using those Merchant TP boards placed seemingly everywhere. Merchant Organizer Luna Lunaria gets things started with unbelievable giveaways!

New release is out today.

I did some stylized garden gnomes.
You never know when or where you are going to need a gnome...they look mischievous when they are small or large, it's just the look they have on their, well, not faces. Maybe it's just their general demeanor :D.

I've included the textures in the package for those who like to mod them or mix and match the colours.

Have a great day!

Ever want to have your own Space Base? Created by @Fred Beckhusen and @Joe Builder Silent Refueling Base has everything you need for a working Space Base. There is a big rig carrying geoms. A CH-47D Chinook v1.0 USCG, C5 Galaxy, Towers, Satellite Dishes all the vehicles you will need too! When I asked Fred about it he said "What it might look launching the Valley Forge into space. The movie "Silent Running", with Bruce Dern, did not show this part. It is fan fiction, and has the same Aircraft Carrier "USN Valley Forge" they used as a movie set." If you would like to visit the original base please find it here

Please add this to your map: www.outworldz.com:9000:Silent Refueling Base
You will find it in your drop down list of Outworldz free .oars. Thank you @Fred Beckhusen #oar #oars #ferdfrederix#fred #JoeBuilder
