Katie (katie.canningham) giggles |
| 15:08 |
Ember (emberell) |
Ok. With that I'll go ahead and open up to questions from you, the audience! Is there anything anyone would like to know? Pressing questions? Odd troubles? Anything between? |
| 15:08 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
Call me Kitty Galore |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
Remember, any question is welcome, as long as it's generally appropriate! If you're concerned about your question, you're always free to IM me also, and I can answer there ❤ |
| 15:09 |
|
Agatha Macbeth has a question |
| 15:09 |
Ember (emberell) |
Agatha? |
| 15:09 |
Agatha Macbeth |
If one buys a plot of land and the previous owner left objects on it do they become yours? |
| 15:09 |
|
lovejoy2199 even with the music stream down, I still enjoy Rodrigo. |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
No, they do not. Object ownership remains theirs - but you are given the ability to return/delete them at your leisure |
| 15:10 |
KayKay1Mckay |
sorry |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ah right. Thanks |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
Generally unless the prior owner has allowed them to be copyable by others, you won't be able to do much with them |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
You're fine, Kay. Welcome ❤ |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
We're open for questions if you have one! |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
So you can only send them back? |
| 15:10 |
Ember (emberell) |
In most cases, yes. |
| 15:11 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Thank you |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
If the prior owner was a friend and has allowed you to edit their objects, you may be able to edit, position, and size them |
| 15:11 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
But generally that isn't' the case with left over prims |
| 15:11 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I see |
| 15:11 |
Ember (emberell) |
Other questions? ❤ |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
Hello, Kay ❤ |
| 15:12 |
Ember (emberell) |
I will also welcome puns, if anyone would like to share one :-) |
| 15:13 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
argon-auts - no reaction |
| 15:13 |
KayKay1Mckay |
why do they not give note cards with the class ? |
| 15:13 |
Ember (emberell) |
Which class, Kay? |
| 15:14 |
KayKay1Mckay |
most of them |
| 15:14 |
Ember (emberell) |
Well, it'll depend on what class you're teaching and who the professor is. Most of the ones offered by Oxbridge offer notecards or other materials in a little box or similar device. |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
For example, my building basics class, I always set out this object - and point students to it for materials for the lesson |
| 15:15 |
KayKay1Mckay |
thank you |
| 15:15 |
Ember (emberell) |
Everyone's welcome to a copy of course - just click on the box ❤ |

Kalieka Helse (kaliekasho) |
lol Katie |
| 15:16 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
thankee! |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Has everyone seen that the SL profile is being updated to be a bit more useful? |
| 15:16 |
Kalieka Helse (kaliekasho) |
How so? |
| 15:16 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
how so? |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
https://community.secondlife.com/blogs/entry/11538-viewer-profiles-everything-old-is-new-again/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=socials&utm_campaign=news has more details on it |
| 15:17 |
Ember (emberell) |
But basically, they're making a change away from it needing to load a web profile. Making it more responsive, and showing more of what you may want to see of someone's profile at a single glance |
| 15:17 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
cool! |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
It is! |
| 15:18 |
KayKay1Mckay |
i like the new profiles |
| 15:18 |
Ember (emberell) |
But with that said, I'm out of nifty announcements :-) Do we have any other questions? |
| 15:18 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) raises a paw |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
Katie! |
| 15:19 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
When is autumn starting, as far as foliage and grassy areas go? |
| 15:19 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
is COU on the same schedule as the rest of Caledon? |
| 15:20 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'll be phasing out the summer decorations on campus and moving to autumn this month, time willing. Iv'e been a big behind on that, but I want that to be in place for the Halloween season |
| 15:20 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ok! |
| 15:21 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've been meaning to do it earlier, but I've been wrestling a fairly wryly RL :_) |
| 15:21 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ah! |
| 15:21 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
thankee and good luck! |
| 15:21 |
|
Katie (katie.canningham) hands Ember a cup of tea |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Soon. ᵗᵐ |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Anyone else? ❤ |
| 15:22 |
Ember (emberell) |
Big questions, little questions... red questions blue questions... all are welcome :-) |
| 15:23 |
KayKay1Mckay |
where are the Auctions at ? |
| 15:23 |
Ember (emberell) |
Which auctions, Kay? |
| 15:24 |
KayKay1Mckay |
land |
| 15:24 |
KayKay1Mckay |
to buy land |
| 15:25 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I take it you mean mainland plots? |
| 15:25 |
Ember (emberell) |
https://places.secondlife.com/auctions/#0 |
| 15:25 |
KayKay1Mckay |
thank you |
| 15:26 |
KayKay1Mckay |
where is the the Land Store. at ? |
| 15:26 |
Ember (emberell) |
this is where you can find a (very broad list) of SL land auctions. Generally you can also use the world map to find for-sale parcels on a finer scale, to see what is available |
| 15:27 |
KayKay1Mckay |
ok |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
There are more you can see through the forums ( like https://community.secondlife.com/forums/forum/369-regions-for-sale/ , for regions for sale) |
| 15:28 |
KayKay1Mckay |
do i have to be vip to buy land ? |
| 15:28 |
Ember (emberell) |
The land forum as a whole can help you see what's going, wanted, price ranges and so on: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/forum/120-land-forum/ |
| 15:28 |
KayKay1Mckay |
thank you |
| 15:28 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yes |
| 15:29 |
Agatha Macbeth |
You need a premium account |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
From my understanding, premium membership is only needed for mainland land. |
| 15:29 |
KayKay1Mckay |
thank you i was told you do not |
| 15:29 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Really? |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
yes. you can rent land in the privately owned estates without a premium account. |
| 15:29 |
Ember (emberell) |
If you're buying not on the mainland, you don't need to be premium. |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
Yeah. |
| 15:30 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Wow |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
This whole post is very informative for how to do so: https://community.secondlife.com/knowledgebase/english/buying-land-r14/ |
| 15:30 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Never knew that |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
In many cases, renting land from others who have bought regions can be more viable, but you can rent your own regions that way without needing the added cost of premium. |
| 15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
Other questions? :-) |
| 15:32 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We would need the new virtual land management class... |
| 15:33 |
Katie (katie.canningham) |
ooo, cool! |
| 15:33 |
Ember (emberell) |
If we are out of questions, I may wrap us up so you don't feel like you need to sit too long ❤ |
| 15:34 |
Ember (emberell) |
But please do ask if there are any! |
| 15:34 |
Ember (emberell) |
There's no such thing as a wrong question here. |
