| 14:55 | Casdetra | How are you Andrea :) |
| 14:55 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | you can come up |
| 14:55 | Larky (larkylouz) | I don't know, but since he's not here, I'll lead the meeting if he doesn't show up. Unless you want to do it alone. |
| 14:55 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nopes you can come up |
| 14:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I am tired Casdetra. |
| 14:56 | Casdetra | :( |
| 14:56 | Casdetra | I can imagine |
| 14:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | lt's going on in Caledon you guys don;t know about and it wears on me |
| 14:56 | Casdetra | you work 24/7 |
| 14:56 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Lots |
| 14:56 | Larky (larkylouz) | I'm going to send out notices and then we can start if Carl doesn't show up |
| 14:57 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Nods |
| 14:57 | Casdetra | are we going to know about it today? |
| 14:57 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | last min dance at 4 |
| 14:57 | Casdetra | I think Im addicted to drinking water :/ |
| 14:58 | Gronk Seriman | Be careful. Water is full of Vitamin P. |
| 14:58 | Casdetra | hahahahahaha |
| 14:58 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nods |
| 14:59 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I have felt bad since the covid shot and starting back on my diabetic meds and high blood pressure meds |
| 14:59 | Casdetra | I got my first shot today |
| 14:59 | lovejoy2199 | And, Sandie is not here. Vitamin P. |
| 14:59 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | HI Sandy |
| 15:00 | Sandy Burgess | And it contains lots of dihydro-oxigen ... that chemical stuff |
| 15:00 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | did it go ok Casdetra |
| 15:01 | Casdetra | Yes, the session was good, and Ive had plenty of good reviews |
| 15:01 | Sandy Burgess | And I guess a few regulars |
| 15:01 | Casdetra | Plenty of reviews :) |
| 15:02 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, hi everyone. |
| 15:03 | Strandwind | Hello everyone. |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | HI agatha, strandwind, frigid |
| 15:03 | Casdetra waves hello | |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi portia |
| 15:03 | Porsha (colelascotta) | Hi |
| 15:03 | Agatha Macbeth | No Carl? |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | not yet |
| 15:03 | Gronk Seriman | Not so far. |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi millie |
| 15:03 | Agatha Macbeth | OK |
| 15:03 | Larky (larkylouz) | It doesn't look like Carl is here today, so I'm going to try an experiment. I suggest we work together to answer questions. I'm certainly not Carl, but I do know how to Google, and this meeting always has a lot of expertise. Sound okay? |
| 15:04 | Porsha (colelascotta) | Yes |
| 15:04 | Casdetra | yes |
| 15:04 | Gronk Seriman | Yes. |
| 15:05 | Larky (larkylouz) | I have an announcement from Word, and then I'll give the floor to Andrea for any announcements she might have. |
| 15:05 | Larky (larkylouz) | Eleven tutorial kiosks for the Introduction, where avatars arrive. Seventeen kiosks for Avatar Motion, that lies to the south. Six kiosks for Camera Control on the east=side of the sim. . One software to create them all. Three languages to define them. One palette to bring them all and to the graphics bind them. |
| 15:06 | Agatha Macbeth | Oh my |
| 15:06 | Gronk Seriman | Ooo! |
| 15:06 | lovejoy2199 | Larky will give us the 'Word'. |
| 15:06 | Larky (larkylouz) | That bit of whimsy is Word's way of saying that he's finished another building on translating the Orientation kiosks. He's due to start on the Camera Control next, I believe. |
| 15:06 | Larky (larkylouz) | ;^) |
| 15:06 | Larky (larkylouz) grins at Lovejoy | |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Hi tom |
| 15:07 | Larky (larkylouz) | He got the schedule problems fixed to a reasonable place and now has more time to focus on them. |
| 15:07 | TomSTomson | hello andrea |
| 15:07 | Casdetra waves at TomS | |
| 15:07 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, that's it from me. What do you have, Andrea? |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We will have a dance at 4 at Foxy's, casual attire. request night |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi sandie |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Dj Sasha spinning the tunes |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll post the lm |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | sadly I haven't gotten much else done this week |
| 15:08 | Larky (larkylouz) | You're entitled to have a slow week, Andrea. :^) |
| 15:08 | Gronk Seriman | As if that isn't enough! |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I started the covid shots , plus going back on my regular meds has made this wek uncomfortable |
| 15:09 | Casdetra | :( |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hopefully I'll be back on track next week |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Caledon Oxbridge Village (46,82,264) |
| 15:09 | Casdetra | is there anything I can help with? |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | so maybe see you at 4 |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you larky |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi mr eb |
| 15:10 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yo |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | Thanks for all your hard work, always, Andrea. |
| 15:10 | Larky (larkylouz) | Welcome to all who have come in. I'm going to open the floor to questions. Have at it, folks! |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | is small so the tomatoes have a hard time hitting me |
| 15:11 | Casdetra | I was wondering if it was possible to place games like Table games at the train station Other than Checkers? |
| 15:11 | Gronk Seriman grins | |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I can ask Ember about it |
| 15:11 | Casdetra | ty |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I have a chess set |
| 15:11 | Frigid Cryotank | Hmm.. I know of one RL train station that had an arcade. |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | Oh, those have been around as long as I have, Casdetra. but, yes, Andrea, that would be Ember's purvey. |
| 15:12 | Casdetra | I was hoping for something more like Canasta or Yahtzee |
| 15:12 | Agatha Macbeth | Or a pool table...:P |
| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I can speak to her on it. |
| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the worry is prims and script loads |
| 15:12 | Casdetra | Just a slight change, but an Amazing update to the area |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | You could look on the MP to see what things like that cost before you approach her, Cas. |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | Nice idea. Thank you! |
| 15:13 | Casdetra | Thank you |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | The floor is open, folks. |
| 15:14 | Sandy Burgess | I know a place where you get such games for less than 100 |
| 15:14 | Larky (larkylouz) | Excellent! |
| 15:14 | TomSTomson | I haven't found many people interested in playing chess or checkers |
| 15:14 | Casdetra | :) |
| 15:15 | Frigid Cryotank | Which implies the idea of charging for use of those games. Say, L$1 ? |
| 15:15 | Larky (larkylouz) | Might want to research what games were played in the Victorian era |
| 15:15 | Millie Lockwood (millietg) | Thats a neat idea |
| 15:15 | TomSTomson | cribbage probably, and backgammon |
| 15:15 | Sandie Harbour | I think Pong was big back then |
| 15:16 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any information you share here will go into the minutes, so do suggest any sources. |
| 15:16 | Casdetra | IS COU that strict in Victorian? Steampunk was evolutionary :) |
| 15:16 | Larky (larkylouz) | Because it was too early for the internet, did they not have Ping yet, only Pong???? |
| 15:16 | lovejoy2199 | Victorian Pool Table, Elf. |
| 15:16 | Casdetra | * ★ * LoOoL * ★ * |
| 15:16 | Casdetra | * ' * LoOoL * ' * |
| 15:16 | Larky (larkylouz) | I dunno, Cas. Just something to think about. |
| 15:16 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Only two of us might know the joke, Lovejoy :-) |
| 15:17 | lovejoy2199 | *smile* |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) | Share it with the class, Elf. |
| 15:17 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Well, you would have had to see the TV series.. |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) puts on her schoolteacher "suitably condescending glasses" | |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) | ;^) |
| 15:18 | Frigid Cryotank | When did the Mechanical Turk make an appearance? |
| 15:18 | Sandy Burgess | Arduenn Schwartzman is the guys name. He has a profile pick to his shop: WarBug Headquarters, WarBug HQ (135, 151, 22) |
| 15:18 | Casdetra | Oh oh, and the mechanical doll, clockworks |
| 15:18 | Larky (larkylouz) | Andrea reminded me that Mr. Elfbiter and Casdetra also have events they can announce when this discussion is finished. |
| 15:18 | Larky (larkylouz) | Sounds nifty. |
| 15:18 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | I'm glad if WarBug is still up |
| 15:19 | Gronk Seriman | WarBug is still up, and full of very nicely priced things. |
| 15:19 | Casdetra | (thumbs up) |
| 15:20 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any more on this? |
| 15:20 | Larky (larkylouz) | Let's reopen the floor to announcements. Mr. Elfbiter? Casdetra? |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Etas a cupcake. Needs the sugar when flying |
| 15:21 | Casdetra | You first Elf |
| 15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Well, the usual, Writers' Meeting in Thursdays 11:00 AM SLT |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | you have the lm? |
| 15:23 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Caledon Oxbridge Village/223/189/4002 |

| 15:24 | Larky (larkylouz) | thanks, Elf. |
| 15:24 | Larky (larkylouz) | I think so, Casdetra |
| 15:24 | Casdetra | I have a session I call Chronicles of Ourselves, its about using Memory Visuals to harness our power over various issues we might have in life, I use the meditation approach, and discussions |
| 15:25 | Casdetra | It's in my profile, even the landmark |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nice |
| 15:26 | Casdetra | secondlife:///app/group/0219e603-3c5a-0b35-74f5-83ab1bf4a98a/inspect |

| 15:27 | Casdetra | the time and day will soon change |
| 15:27 | Casdetra | Not this week |
| 15:27 | Casdetra | Caledon Oxbridge Villag |
| 15:28 | Casdetra | humm, I dont seem to be able tp post the Landmark |
| 15:28 | Casdetra | But its in my profile |
| 15:28 | Larky (larkylouz) | Remind me after and we'll figure out what's going wrong with your LMs. |
| 15:28 | Casdetra | k, ty |
| 15:29 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any more on this? |
| 15:29 | Casdetra | thats it, bring a friend :) |
| 15:29 | Casdetra | Thank you |
| 15:30 | Casdetra | AH HAH, I figured out the LM |
| 15:30 | Casdetra | Caledon Oxbridge Village (241,183,1028) |
| 15:30 | Casdetra | YAY! Me |
| 15:31 | Katie (katie.canningham) | thumbs up! |
| 15:31 | Gronk Seriman claps | |
| 15:31 | Casdetra | :D |
| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yay |
| 15:31 | Larky (larkylouz) | good deal! |
| 15:31 | Casdetra | thats it, Thank you |
| 15:32 | Larky (larkylouz) | Any questions, folks? You've really got to challenge me more here! |
| 15:32 | Larky (larkylouz) | Caledon, Oxbridge, SL - anything goes. |
| 15:34 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay, we'll call it a day. Going once |
| 15:34 | Gronk Seriman | I know this is an Ember Question. but how are we on the Prim budget on campus? |
| 15:35 | Larky (larkylouz) | I believe we have plenty of prims, but yes, that's a question for Ember. |
| 15:35 | Larky (larkylouz) | She keeps a pretty high amt free to deal with the ebb and flow at Oxbridge. |
| 15:35 | Gronk Seriman | And does Wordsmith's Kiosk upgrades affect that? [ed. note: No the new kiosks are still one prim each.] |
| 15:36 | Gronk Seriman | That's a Wordsmith question, I know. |
| 15:36 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | I take it some of the LI allowance is needed for seasonal decorations, like Halloween |
| 15:36 | Larky (larkylouz) | My guess, and this is only a guess, is that his kiosks are mesh, which should help, assuming the old ones were prim. I think they may have been upgraded a few years back when Ravelli redid the campus buildings, but I'm not absolutely sure. |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | Yes, that. Staff offices, like the lovely lounges Jorge has made. room for all the freebies. And also just things like people rezzing stuff during classes and whatnot. |
| 15:37 | TomSTomson | Should be possible to check the LI between an upgraded display and one of the old ones |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | Exactly, Tom |
| 15:38 | Larky (larkylouz) | My alt just checked one of the new ones, and they're running 2LI, which isn't bad! [Ed. Note: Nope, they are 1 LI, which was one of the requirements for them. I just rechecked them If the kiosks were greater than 1 LI, this project would have been dead in the water. Only the two vertical kiosks in Building 1 are 2 LI.] |
| 15:38 | Gronk Seriman | Good idea, TomS. |
| 15:39 | Gronk Seriman | Oh! |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | And one of the old ones is 1LI, so YMMV. The new ones, of course, are more complex. |
| 15:40 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I need to head out and do a few things before he dance. See you there at 4 |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | thanks Andrea |
| 15:40 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | be well |
| 15:40 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Cheers! |
| 15:40 | Larky (larkylouz) | you too |
| 15:41 | Gronk Seriman | See you there, Andrea! |
| 15:41 | Sandy Burgess | I'll be off to my bed. See you around |
| 15:41 | Larky (larkylouz) | Good night, Sandy |
| 15:41 | Gronk Seriman | Sleep well, Sandy |
| 15:41 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Attempted bedtime for me. |
| 15:41 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Hold the fort |
| 15:42 | Larky (larkylouz) | Short of manually adding up the Prim allowance on each parcel, I think that question will need to wait for Ember or Word. [ed. Note: Because all parcels have the same owner, they share all of the prims. We have 5000 LI total, we are using 3736 LI, leaving 1264 LI available] |
| 15:42 | Sandy Burgess | Thank you - and have a nice dance |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | Sleep well, Mer. Skysmith |
| 15:42 | lovejoy2199 | Fort holding mode |
| 15:42 | Larky (larkylouz) | good night, Elf. |
| 15:42 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Be seeing you |
| 15:42 | Larky (larkylouz) | Are we finished? going once |
| 15:42 | Larky (larkylouz) | ....... |
| 15:42 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | At least it is not that hot tonight.. |
| 15:42 | Casdetra | Elf Take care, be well, Hope to see you soon, *HUGS* |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | When it was 106 F here, I slept on a wet bath towel. It felt wonderful! |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | going twice..... |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | .... |
| 15:43 | Larky (larkylouz) | Okay. Meeting adjourned. Hopefully Carl will be back next week. And I will pass the minutes on to Wordsmith and Ember. |
| 15:44 | Larky (larkylouz) | Take care and be safe, everyone |
| 15:44 | lovejoy2199 | Same to you, Larky |
| 15:44 | Casdetra | Thank you for taking the time and presenting the Q&A to both Larky and Andrea |
| 15:44 | Casdetra | Great Job! |
| 15:44 | Larky (larkylouz) | :^) You're welcome |
| 15:45 | TomSTomson | thanks, larky |
