how to | clear cache in Second Life®

I’ve received this as a notecard in-world having Orange Planer as the creator. It’s a very helpful notecard since I’ve tried to explain a couple of time how to manually clear cache and it wasn’t clear to them. Maybe I wasn’t making myself clear enough. Anyway, if you do it right, you won’t damage your [...]

Snowglobe viewer

I have only heard about Snowglobe viewer yesterday and today I have read Peter Stindberg’s thoughts about it.
