QH Fresh Food Market Days? What do you think?

QH Discussions

I'm wondering if people would be interested in having Fresh Food Market Days where we sell perishable items for coins?

I'm looking for ideas that are both fun & easy and I thought a weekly? market event might help with that.

Lots of people like to fish but not everyone wants to go through the bother of packing their catches and you can only cook so much seafood for yourself.  I also miss selling fresh milk but have been having a hard time figuring out the logistics.

Off the top of my head I was thinking that we could designate Saturday & Sunday for "fresh" food sales.  My current definition of "fresh" is anything that has at least 2 days before expiration but I can probably be convinced otherwise.

The easiest way to sell for coins is through vendors - though if people wanted to announce times that they were actually at the market that might work as well.

The Co-op would be interested in buying seafood and could sell fresh milk and verr meat (on occasion depending on when the poor verr crosses the rainbow bridge).

What do you think?  I'm open to all kinds of ideas

Finding and Defeating Texture Lag?

Off Topic

Region performance is always a fascinating subject (to me anyway) though I'm afraid that I've forgotten a lot of the particulars over the years.

I don't believe that I've ever actually had a lot of lag caused by textures.  For the most part they sometimes just grey-out for a bit without effecting overall performance.  It sounds like you've been keeping a pretty close eye on them, res-using etc. so I'm wondering if it might be something else.

There use to be a problem when a region ended up sharing a server with other "over consuming" regions.  Don't know if that is still a problem but it was sometimes fixed by doing a restart that subsequently bumped it to another server.

I'm also wondering about the complexity of objects you have - you wouldn't be using a lot of sculpties or tortured prims would you?  Sculpties are/were wicked in some cases because they only counted as "one prim" even if they had a ton of vertices.

Just some thoughts off the top of my head.  Looking forward to seeing other suggestions.

Good luck!

Outlander

Book Lovers

I enjoyed Joan & Michael's story as well, Merry.  She certainly has some unusual talents.  I'm also interested in hearing Master Raymond's full story.  DG has promised to get to that at some point.

Outlander

Book Lovers

Seven Stones to Stand or Fall: A Collection of Outlander Fiction was just released this week!

A magnificent collection of Outlander short fiction—including two never-before-published novellas—featuring Jamie Fraser, Lord John Grey, Master Raymond, and many more, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Diana Gabaldon

I've been anticipating this release for months now, teased as I was by DG's published snippets.  I found it most enjoyable, especially since it filled in a few blanks in my Outlander world knowledge.  I especially liked reading the story of Minnie & Hal in "Fugitive Green".

Now if she would only get around to finishing "Bees" ....

Thanks for the recommendation, Tiamat.  Will definitely look it up.

Wow! Check this out!

Quartz: Wearable Culture

Google’s latest project may be the most widely accessible and comprehensive fashion collection on the planet. All you need to view it is an internet connection.

“We Wear Culture” is a collaboration between Google and more than 180 museums, schools, fashion institutions, and other organizations from all parts of the globe. It’s part of Google’s Arts & Culture platform, which is digitizing the world’s cultural treasures, and functions as a searchable guide to a collective archive of some 30,000 fashion pieces that puts “three millennia of fashion at your fingertips,” Google says.

But it isn’t just a database. Google has worked with curators to create more than 450 exhibits on different topics—say, how the cheongsam changed the way Chinese women dress—making the site an endlessly entertaining, educational portal filled with stunning imagery touching on everything from modern Japanese streetwear to the clothes worn at the court of Versailles.
