| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | Welcome, Boomer |
| 15:04 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi boomer |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | Oh that'll be fun! |
| 15:05 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | you don;t have to be in period dress |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) nods | |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) | As long as you're decent you're welcome. |
| 15:05 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | all donations go to the university here |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) | all guests are appreciated :-) |
| 15:05 | Ember (emberell) | And no need to donate to attend, either |
| 15:05 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | We do not have a corporate sponsor, you guys provide he lindens |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | The nights group provides the land and prims free of charge |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you Ember |
| 15:06 | Ember (emberell) | With that, we're open for questions! Whether on general SL matters, Caledon, or Oxbridge - please feel free to ask us! |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | chirp chirp chirp chirp |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | need a holograpjic cricket |
| 15:07 | Ember (emberell) | hehe. |
| 15:07 | Ember (emberell) | Any questions are welcome! Comments, announcements, so on... |
| 15:07 | Ember (emberell) | Even puns if you have them :-) |
| 15:07 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) | X-D |
| 15:07 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | You can also ask corporal and capital questions |
| 15:08 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) | i am questionless and commentless :-P |
| 15:08 | Ember (emberell) | Admiral questions may be out of our expertise. |
| 15:08 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | No you were not :-) |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just a note. Most likely the caledonian nights group will be going through a name change soon. |
| 15:08 | Ember (emberell) | Tora, I'd argue commenting that you have no comments is, itself, a comment :-) |
| 15:08 | Larky (larkylouz) | I have a script at Oxbridge that used to work, but is now giving me an error, if anyone is a scripter willing to volunteer some time. It's a script that allows people to get info based on the Country they wish. |
| 15:08 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) | hahaha!!! a universal conundrum!! X-D |
| 15:08 | Ember (emberell) | I'll make a note of that Larky, we might be able to find someone |
| 15:08 | Ember (emberell) | Would it be ok if I direct someone interested your way? |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | Sure. Of course |
| 15:09 | Larky (larkylouz) | I may ask Samm if I run into her, but she's not often around. |
| 15:09 | Ember (emberell) | Will do then |
| 15:09 | Ember (emberell) | Samm is a bit busy in RL these days, but it's always nice seeing her about. |
| 15:09 | Ember (emberell) | Other questions? |
| 15:10 | KimDworkos | Um... |
| 15:10 | Ember (emberell) | If we don't have any questions, that's ok. I'll be happy to let you all go early |
| 15:10 | Ember (emberell) | But we ARE here to help! |
| 15:10 | Ember (emberell) | We try to dedicate this time slot to the guests and students who may have odd questions or problems that arent' easily solved elsewhere |
| 15:10 | Boomer Singh | Will the clock making class or the doorbell class return anytime? |
| 15:10 | Ember (emberell) | Welcome, Grimm |
| 15:11 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) | hiya grimmy! |
| 15:11 | KimDworkos | Does anyone know a source for hair textures? |
| 15:11 | Ember (emberell) | It's unclear, Boomer. Professor Harbour has not been able to teach them recently. |
| 15:11 | Ember (emberell) | We're hopeful it will, of course, but no new information there |
| 15:12 | Ember (emberell) | the marketplace can be a decent place to begin, Kim, though if you have something specific in mind we can maybe narrow it down |
| 15:12 | Larky (larkylouz) | The doorbell class will start up again after the SLBirthday event is over |
| 15:13 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | One newcomer actually asked about the clockmaking class so word has gone around... |
| 15:13 | KimDworkos | This hair is full perm, but has a base red texture. I'd like to replace that with a blonde texture |
| 15:13 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, really Larky? I hadn't heard that, thank you for letting us know! |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | Word told me when I was updating the calendar one time. It isn't Sandie who teaches the doorbell class, but rather Sandy. Now that clears things up, right? ;^p |
| 15:15 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, pardon, I should ask before sending my textures your way, Kim |
| 15:15 | Ember (emberell) | May I? I have a few in my inventory |
| 15:15 | Ember (emberell) | welcome, Edmund. We are jsut open for questions |
| 15:16 | KimDworkos | I wish I could show you what the current texture looks like |
| 15:16 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) | Edmund! hiya doood! |
| 15:16 | Ember (emberell) | Though we haven't had many questions |
| 15:16 | Edmund Broek waves | |
| 15:17 | Larky (larkylouz) | Kim , if you download the utility gyazo (or take a screen cap some other way,) you can upload a picture of it. With gyazo, you only have to send a link |
| 15:17 | Ember (emberell) | Hearing no more questions... |
| 15:17 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Actually, does anyone have an idea about a good gesture and animations source? |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | ty all for cmoing |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | coming |
| 15:18 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, that's a good question, Elfbiter! Actually a good place to start for animations for gestures can be AO shops. |
| 15:18 | Larky (larkylouz) | I have a box of transferable animations. Would you like it? |
| 15:18 | Ember (emberell) | That would help, Larky. Could you send me a copy of that? |
| 15:19 | Ember (emberell) | As for gestures, it can be difficult to find a -good- source of them outside of the marketplace, but they tend to be a dime a dozen there. |
| 15:20 | Boomer Singh | Mr. Skysmith, Abranimations gives away a select amount of free animations and a free AO as a shop gift, too. |
| 15:20 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we... hmmm |
| 15:20 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Okay |
| 15:20 | Tora the Explorer (toraona.thane) whispers | mmm love me some abranimations! |
| 15:20 | Ember (emberell) | There's also the source of the library - which has many free oens besides the ones you start with |
| 15:21 | Ember (emberell) | I'll keep an eye out for other sources of gestures and let you know if I see any, Elfbiter |
| 15:22 | Larky (larkylouz) | Please do keep in mind that gestures are often considered annoying, especially if used in excess. That may not be the case in the Tiny community, but it is elsewhere. |
| 15:22 | Ember (emberell) | Overall it's something to keep in mind that gestures - and especially gesture overuse - can be obnoxious or even painful for some residents. It can be very important to be mindful of their usage |
| 15:22 | Ember (emberell) | With that said, I think we are out of questions today. So I'll go ahead and let you all go! As always, though, I'll linger and answer any questions that occur on the way out! |
| 15:23 | Ember (emberell) | Thank you all for coming today, and for your continued support of Oxbirdge. |
| 15:23 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yeah, I used to have truckload of gesures and ended up deleting most of them as unnecessary |
| 15:23 | Ember (emberell) | I beleive actually many of the freebie spots we have on our cards have a good collection of gestures too |
| 15:23 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | oh quick question |
| 15:23 | Ember (emberell) | Andrea? |
| 15:24 | Larky (larkylouz) | I may have to acquire one that makes a rude sound it someone makes too many bad puns, however.... <snort> |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | denver hax once made a steampunk flying machine. it used to be inthe train station and i do not see it now. it was no copy. Does anyone have a copy that can pe passed around? |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | It's more of a nostalgia thing |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | more of |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | if not. no worries |
| 15:25 | Ember (emberell) | hm, I don't have one here... I'll double check things and see if I can find it for you. |
| 15:25 | lovejoy2199 | Let me check. It may take a while. |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | nods |
| 15:25 | Ember (emberell) | I recall Mr. Metropolitan pulled a few things that had stopped working |
| 15:25 | Larky (larkylouz) | I wonder if an oldtime, perhaps Aeval-Leigh would have it |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | maybe |
| 15:26 | Ember (emberell) | The flying machine might have been one of them that wans't giving contents out to guests |
| 15:26 | Ember (emberell) | It might be worth it to ask the ISC about it |
| 15:26 | Larky (larkylouz) | good idea! |
| 15:26 | lovejoy2199 | Do you remember the name? |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | i'll look |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | ty |
| 15:29 | Ember (emberell) | we are adjourned, though, for those who do have other places to be. |
