15:04 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) i was going to do a movie after the Q&A but with the peacock dance. i do not know now
15:04 Ember (emberell) It seems to be a quiet day inworld

15:06 Ember (emberell) I am now opening the floor to you all.
15:06 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Gronk
15:06 Ember (emberell) Given the size of the crowd, though, if you'd rather have a vote on ending it early, that's quite alright, too :_)
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So is anyone interested in doing a photo exhibit
15:07 Katie (katie.canningham) is embarrassed that she arrived with the wrong group active
15:07 Ember (emberell) You're fine, Katie ❤
15:07 Ember (emberell) This is hardly terribly official.
15:07 Ember (emberell) Have you been settling in alright on campus?
15:07 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Well, this is larger crowd than in the annual Finnish fandom island meeting :-)
15:07 Katie (katie.canningham) Yes I have, many thanks!
15:07 Katie (katie.canningham) taking notes as I go
15:08 KimberlyDworkas I had a question yesterday, but I got an answer
15:08 Ember (emberell) Oh, please do ask!
15:08 Ember (emberell) If we can't find you an answer, we can find you resources to get an answer, hopefully
15:09 KimberlyDworkas well, it was about getting a list of attachment points, with the stuff attached to each one
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So would there be any interest in a photo exhibit?
15:09 Katie (katie.canningham) cool!
15:09 Katie (katie.canningham) yes!
15:09 KimberlyDworkas and I did get an answer, turns out to be absurdly easy
15:10 Ember (emberell) Oh, you got the answer! Yes, it is something you can do - so you can see what is attached where. there are a few different ways to see it, I think
15:10 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Easy to you, maybe.
15:10 Ember (emberell) The simplest can always be just right clicking and selecting attach to, which will show you a list of attachment points, and which currently is wearing what
15:10 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I remember one guy who came back for months asking the same question...
15:11 KimberlyDworkas " There's probably a better way, but I right click on a piece of clothing in my inventory, then go to "Attach To". That will show you a long list of all your attachment points and tell you what's attached to each one."
15:11 KimberlyDworkas Yes, what Ember said
15:11 Agatha Macbeth does the same
15:13 KimberlyDworkas It's amazing how many people I spoke to yesterday, Ember, who insisted that what I was asking was impossible
15:14 Ember (emberell) Alternatively it is -possible- to go to now wearing, in the appearance window, and see what is on what attachment slot
15:14 Ember (emberell) But it doesn't list all the slots available to you
15:14 Gronk Seriman I have what may be a Firestorm question. Tonight for the first time, my Appearance list is NOT in alphabetical order. Made getting dressed tough when I was already late getting here. Anybody seen this?
15:14 Ember (emberell) I've seen that before, actually
15:15 Ember (emberell) Sometimes I log in and my inventory is scrambled, despite setting it to be alphabetical by default
15:15 KimberlyDworkas that doesn't show you the other things attached to the same point, without a lot of searching around
15:15 Ember (emberell) That seems to be loading issue - a simple relog has always cleared it for me
15:15 lovejoy2199 Have you upgraded your Firestorm?
15:15 Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) okies my dears, i'm going to head to the bashful peacock dance. I'll see all in a bit :-D
15:15 Ember (emberell) Something about how the cache is fetching items messes up on the first load in
15:15 Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) take care everybody!
15:15 Ember (emberell) Enjoy, Tora!
15:15 Gronk Seriman See ya, Tora!
15:15 Katie (katie.canningham) see ya Tora!
15:16 Gronk Seriman Yes, I recently updated Firestorm.
15:16 lovejoy2199 Check your setting.
15:16 Ember (emberell) Yeah, I'd try a relog and seeing if that's still the case
15:16 Ember (emberell) then go from there
15:16 Katie (katie.canningham) maybe sort type got switched on you?
15:16 Ember (emberell) If it's still the case, something may have gone to a default in your settings
15:17 Ember (emberell) Speaking of announcements, though, Oxbridge DOEs have a Facebook page now!
15:17 lovejoy2199 They probably didn't load with your upgrade. If you have saved them, reset.
15:17 Katie (katie.canningham) huzzah!
15:17 Ember (emberell) For anyone who may be interested in that
15:17 Katie (katie.canningham) Is the Facebook page name the full title or COU?
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) we can get back to you on that katie. Ember may be looking it up
15:19 Ember (emberell) I'm trying to find it, my Facebook doesn't like to play nice here
15:19 Katie (katie.canningham) ok!
15:20 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Anybody want to know the twitter account?
15:20 Katie (katie.canningham) wow there's twitter too???
15:20 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) https://twitter.com/caledonoxbridg
15:20 Katie (katie.canningham) is there instagram too?
15:20 Ember (emberell) https://twitter.com/caledonoxbridg is the twitter account apparantly! I wasn't aware that had been made. I don't know of a twitter
15:21 Agatha Macbeth knows of a few twits
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Dean Larky has been working on these accounts
15:21 Ember (emberell) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083106556634
15:21 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Larky was dealing with those
15:21 Ember (emberell) Here we go
15:21 Gronk Seriman checks her Facebook and Twitter occasionally. When she remembers to.
15:22 Ember (emberell) Dean emeritus LArky has been helping a lot to set these up and make them actually usable.
15:22 Ember (emberell) I'm no good at social media, as some of you may know from my time looking this up :_)
15:22 Katie (katie.canningham) OMG the Pics! hehe
15:23 Katie (katie.canningham) thankee!
15:24 Ember (emberell) Back to questions, though. Does anyone have any other questions? ❤
15:24 Agatha Macbeth : elegantly raises a hand
15:24 Ember (emberell) Yes, Agatha? ❤
15:25 Agatha Macbeth I've noticed in Area Search that prims and LI aren't the same thing...which does an estate manager go by?
15:25 Ember (emberell) An estate manager generally goes by LI first, then prims
15:25 Agatha Macbeth OK gotcha
15:25 Ember (emberell) The two often end up different because a mesh can vary from <1 LI, to many thousands at the highest
15:25 Agatha Macbeth nods
15:25 Agatha Macbeth Thanks
15:25 Ember (emberell) By creative building, it's actually possible to make a single prim with an impossibly high LI too
15:26 Agatha Macbeth hence the term Land Impact :p
15:26 Ember (emberell) The sim itself will run on LI rather than prim count total, so what will affect the space you have left is indicated by the former
15:26 Agatha Macbeth Wonderful
15:26 Agatha Macbeth Thank you
15:27 Ember (emberell) nods
15:27 Ember (emberell) Other questions? ❤
15:27 Ember (emberell) We've plenty of time, and all questions are welcome
15:27 Ember (emberell) I'll even take puns if there are any :-)
15:28 Agatha Macbeth No Sandie unfortunately :(
15:28 Ember (emberell) It is a shame, she has the best puns usually
15:28 Katie (katie.canningham) tentatively raises a paw
15:28 Agatha Macbeth She's puntastic
15:28 Ember (emberell) Katie, yes?
15:28 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) SHe may be dancing
15:28 Katie (katie.canningham) Has anybody heard from MGB since Tuesday?
15:29 Ember (emberell) He has not been inworld since Tuesday that I know of
15:29 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Has not been on since the 26th
15:29 Katie (katie.canningham) Ms Jan was going to try to contact him but hasn't heard back
15:29 Ember (emberell) nods
15:30 Ember (emberell) If I see MGB, I'll let him know Jan was looking for him
15:30 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Which reminds me: Has anyone heard from Carl Metropolitan?
15:30 Ember (emberell) He's usually inworld for radio drama hour
15:30 Katie (katie.canningham) we were all kinda worried about him yesterday
15:30 Ember (emberell) Yes, Elfbiter. He's been a good friend of Oxbridge
15:30 Gronk Seriman Yes. He's a very nice guy.
15:30 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I have not received a notecard from him about this Monday's radio drama hour
15:30 Katie (katie.canningham) yes!
15:30 Ember (emberell) Hm, I do hope MGB is well
15:30 Ember (emberell) I haven't heard from Carl in some time, though
15:31 Katie (katie.canningham) he's also usually in for Primtionary and the Building event on Saturday
15:31 Ember (emberell) nods
15:32 Gronk Seriman Carl has been patchy in the past. RL seems to have some impact.
15:32 Ember (emberell) Yes, he has a very busy RL
15:32 Ember (emberell) Last I had heard he was taking space form SL to deal with that
15:32 Katie (katie.canningham) ok!
15:32 Katie (katie.canningham) (whew! good!)
15:32 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Should we send him space bars?
15:32 Ember (emberell) :-)
15:32 Ember (emberell) It may help
15:33 Ember (emberell) Ok, any other questions? ❤
15:33 Agatha Macbeth has been in a few space bars in her time
15:33 Katie (katie.canningham) thankee!
15:35 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chirp chirp
15:35 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chir chirp
15:35 Agatha Macbeth Ribbit
15:35 Gronk Seriman I don't know about space bars, but that freeze-dried ice cream every science museum sells...went on only one Apollo mission. The reviews were "Meh." Never went again.
15:35 Ember (emberell) hehe.
15:36 Ember (emberell) Hearing no new questions, I think I will wrap today's Q&A here... going once?
15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) see you all soon
15:36 Ember (emberell) Going twice
15:36 Ember (emberell) Not to be confused with mice, which are tasty.
15:36 lovejoy2199 Fair Warning
15:36 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Lice?
15:36 Ember (emberell) Rice!
15:37 Agatha Macbeth Spice
15:37 Ember (emberell) Hearing only jokes, I am calling today's Q&A adjourned
15:37 Katie (katie.canningham) Nice!
15:37 Ember (emberell) As always, if anyone has any questions, trouble, or otherwise, please do feel free to return to Oxbridge and ask us, here or in our group
