Although we are a couple of Deans short, I think ought to begin. |
| 19:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We are in a seasonal upswing. |
| 19:01 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome everyone! |
| 19:01 |
Marion Questi |
This is an "open mic" Q&A which we hold at this time every week. We, the Deans of Oxbridge, assemble to answer questions from the attendees about Oxbridge, it's mission and operation, or about SL in general. |
| 19:02 |
Marion Questi |
Would anyone care to ask the first question? |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
While you are thinking about it, permit me to introduce one of our benefactors, Mr Excalibur Steamlander, who curates the www.steamlands.com website. |

In the Sandbox, there is a book. Takes me too long to read. Can I download a copy? |
| 19:06 |
Martini Discovolante |
hello.. sorry i am late |
| 19:06 |
Martini Discovolante |
привет .. жаль, что я опаздываю |

Welcome Dean Discovolante. We're waiting for the first question... |
| 19:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to Deans Q&A |
| 19:06 |
Martini Discovolante |
dav..aren't you out os avatar allotments? |

| 19:06 |
dav2k |
Excuse me Dean DiscoVolante. Let me log this one off. |
| 19:07 |
Marion Questi |
I take it you are referring to the tutorial texts up in the sandbox? |
| 19:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are 3rd party created tutorials in the sandbox building. But not copyable. |
| 19:07 |
Marion Questi |
Those are all copyrighted by others. We can't give you a copy. But if you do a search, I'm sure you can find one to buy for yourself. |
| 19:07 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
(would offer Thai as an optional language for questions but support is not yet included in the viewer ^^) |
| 19:07 |
Martini Discovolante |
most information here can also be found with careful internet searches as well |
| 19:07 |
dav2j |
They are great, but dense and makes my head hurt! |
| 19:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is possible to seek out the creators. Many are for sale by them. |
| 19:08 |
Martini Discovolante |
yes you can buy texts from Robin Sojourner wood |
| 19:08 |
dav2j |
New Question or I can, er, yield the floor. What are: "dav2 ..aren't you out os avatar allotments?" |
| 19:09 |
Martini Discovolante |

Welcome Mr Haller |
| 19:10 |
Shouten Haller |
Greetings good people of Oxbridge |
| 19:10 |
Martini Discovolante |
and by avatar allotment, Dav, i meant that SL only allows you 5 |
| 19:10 |
Marion Questi |
Next question, anyone? |
| 19:10 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
/me raises her hand |
| 19:11 |
Marion Questi |
Yes, Miss Nightblade. |
| 19:11 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
may I ask a question about the dashboard? |
| 19:11 |
Marion Questi |
Go ahead. |
| 19:11 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
thank you. When I look at mine, some of my friends are listed in a different colour. There is no special designation for these people that I am aware of. |
| 19:12 |
Marion Questi |
I think the way it works, is that people who have given you the right to see their location are shown in green. |
| 19:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is possible to list friends in a selected color. |
| 19:12 |
Martini Discovolante |
check your large world map |
| 19:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
and look in Friends online and see if those are the one s you can "map" |
| 19:13 |
dav2j |
May I ask what the dashboard is, is it the Communicate menu or the Mini-map? |
| 19:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
menaing find them on the map and join them. |
| 19:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And matching username and display name can also be different than when the two names differ. |
| 19:13 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
thank you - that is quite possible |
| 19:14 |
Marion Questi |
The dashboard is your personal home page on the SL website. |
| 19:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I took it as referring to the User Interface, dav |
| 19:14 |
Martini Discovolante |
dashboard is in the SL website, as well |
| 19:15 |
Marion Questi |
The Communicate menu and the MInimap are features in the viewer. |
| 19:15 |
Larkylouz |
While Miss KNightBlade was asking her question, the lights came on and then went off again. I have seen this happen periodically. What is happening? |
| 19:16 |
Marion Questi |
Have we answered your question, Miss Nightblade? |
| 19:16 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
yes -thank you very much |
| 19:16 |
Martini Discovolante |
when you log into the sl website, you land on your Dashboard page |
| 19:16 |
Martini Discovolante |
adn the light will do that. |
| 19:16 |
Shouten Haller |
/me apologizes for leaning against the light switch |
| 19:16 |
dav2j |
lol |
| 19:16 |
Larkylouz |
/me giggles |
| 19:16 |
Martini Discovolante |
that is why we generally do not depend on local lighting |
| 19:17 |
Marion Questi |
I think we're ready for another question. |
| 19:17 |
Larkylouz |
TY |
| 19:17 |
Marion Questi |
Anyone? |
| 19:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
Is Numantia Maris gone for good? |
| 19:18 |
Larkylouz |
Is that a sim? |
| 19:18 |
Marion Questi |
"For good" is a long time. I suppose it could come back at some point, |
| 19:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It was. And for the time-being it is gone. It and Numantia prime have been granted rights of return by the Governor. |
| 19:19 |
Martini Discovolante |
that is good to hear :) |
| 19:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
Does that mean the submarine service is stripped from the eas side of here? |
| 19:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
east |
| 19:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No. There was a separate line from the north side of Oxbridge to Maris. |
| 19:20 |
Marion Questi |
There is a route that goes around us on the west side and ends up in the village. |
| 19:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And sometimes goes through this room.... |
| 19:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ha! |
| 19:21 |
Marion Questi |
/me grins. |
| 19:21 |
Larkylouz |
I talked to Professor Pentewyn, the instructor for the weekly Photo Salon, and both of us are interested in using the resources of the class, which includes some rather talented photographers, to document sims in danger of going away. Please keep us in mind. |
| 19:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A very worthy pursuit. ty |
| 19:22 |
Marion Questi |
The challenge will be hearing about a closure soon enough to do anything about it. |
| 19:23 |
Marion Questi |
The Guv tends to keep stuff underwraps until the last minute. |
| 19:23 |
Larkylouz |
I am aware that is the issue, but perhaps putting the word out will enable us to document some of these losses. |
| 19:23 |
Marion Questi |
I suggest you just start photographing the existing builds. |
| 19:23 |
Larkylouz |
Professor Pentewyn takes us on a field trip almost every week. |
| 19:23 |
Marion Questi |
One day...some day...it will all be gone. |
| 19:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good eve, Dr. Flee. Nice to see you back. |
| 19:24 |
Martini Discovolante |
excellent idea.. the lovely builds should prove rewarding endangered or not |
| 19:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(thinks of the library that once graced the once sim of Al Andalus) |
| 19:24 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |
Thx WSJ, but I can't stay |
| 19:25 |
Marion Questi |
Next question? |
| 19:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any class we don't have for which there is particular interest? |
| 19:27 |
Larkylouz |
/me would still like to see a workshop on editing prim clothes to fit avis. |
| 19:27 |
Dr. Flee (fleemingjenkin) |
How to script an AO. |
| 19:27 |
dav2j |
How to see the world? |
| 19:28 |
Gronk Seriman |
Baking cakes. And how to share them. |
| 19:28 |
Larkylouz |

| 19:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is in our motto, cakes is. |
| 19:28 |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good suggestions... |
| 19:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We did once have a tour class. |
| 19:29 |
dav2j |
It takes a longish time to rez (?) in new areas. Makes seeing the rest of Caledon difficult. |
| 19:30 |
dav2j |
One of the professors has mentioned the trainstation. I get lost trying to find it. |
| 19:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
BTW, Caledon has a new movie theater. |
| 19:30 |
Marion Questi |
Where is your Draw Distance set, Mr Dav? |
| 19:31 |
dav2j |
Gee, I don't know. |
| 19:31 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
what will you be showing at the theatre? |
| 19:31 |
Josain Zsun |
http://honourmcmillan.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/viewer-settings-newcomers-dont-know-in-second-life/ |
| 19:31 |
Marion Questi |
If you are having a problem with things rezzing, try reducing the Draw Distance. It's in your Preferences > Graphics. |
| 19:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It seems something called "Tai Chi Zero!" may be the first offering. |
| 19:32 |
Martini Discovolante |
holy cow. |
| 19:32 |
Josain Zsun |
Maybe a Preferences class for new residents. Maybe that is covered by the Red Arrow Path. It's been a while since I walked into it's signs. |
| 19:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A notecard just came out to the ISC groups notifications. |
| 19:33 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |
I was completely on the wrong track - I thought it would be a Jules Vern movie |
| 19:33 |
Martini Discovolante |
i believe that is the Guv's Choice |
| 19:34 |
Marion Questi |
!! |
| 19:34 |
Martini Discovolante |
like cannes.. we have a Guvnah's award |
| 19:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The first showing has not happened yet, but the setting exists. |
| 19:35 |
Marion Questi |
As I recall, there is a newish theater in Kittiwickshire. |
| 19:35 |
Marion Questi |
It is still there? |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This one's in Penzance |
| 19:36 |
Shouten Haller |
It's a nice theatre |
| 19:37 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is still in Kitti! |
| 19:37 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is an on-demand theatre |
| 19:37 |
Paula KnightBlade (paulabrianne) |

Who has a question for us? |
| 19:39 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
Forgive me if I missed it, but what is the link for Caledon's new theatre? |
| 19:39 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
(and if the Deans will forgive me, I am on a metered connection and should probably limit my use) |
| 19:40 |
Martini Discovolante |
:( |
| 19:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I just gave you the landmark,. Anyone else. |
| 19:40 |
Larkylouz |
Yes please |
| 19:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
? |
| 19:40 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
Thank you Dean... |

Josain Zsun |
/me tried an out of date raised hand animation |
| 19:41 |
Josain Zsun |
I would like a LM Thanks. |
| 19:41 |
Larkylouz |
Could someone please explain to me the difference between the links on notecards in the COU folder and the SLurls. Is it possible to make those cards have SLurls? Or do some of them have it and some don't? |
| 19:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Done |
| 19:42 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
(actually after consulting my iPhone aetheric device it looks as if bandwidth demands are better than thought...am enjoying the Q&A ^^) |
| 19:42 |
Marion Questi |
You can embed a LM into a notecard. That's distinct from an SLURL. |
| 19:43 |
Marion Questi |
An SLURL is purely text based. |
| 19:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, you can often get info on a landmark, including going to the map, and the map has a copy SLURL option. |
| 19:43 |
Larkylouz |
I am concerned with being able to cut and paste the info from a notecard into nearby chat or IM |
| 19:43 |
Marion Questi |
Yes...it's best to use a SLURL for chat. |
| 19:43 |
Larkylouz |
Yes, but when it is busy, it would be nice to be able to skip that step. |
| 19:43 |
Martini Discovolante |
it might be viewer dependent |
| 19:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or, a LM placed in your favorites bar at the top of the screen has a "copy slurl" option. |
| 19:44 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
If you click an SLURL link within the viewer it seems to open the map just like a landmark... |
| 19:44 |
Marion Questi |
Open the LM on the Map and use the copy SLURL button. |
| 19:44 |
Martini Discovolante |
if you right click on a LM in your inv, you can COPY SLURL |
| 19:44 |
Larkylouz |
Oh! Some of the links seem to work as I cut & paste, and some don't. |
| 19:44 |
Martini Discovolante |
in LLv3+ |
| 19:44 |
Larkylouz |
That is a good idea, Dean D. I could go these places and make a folder of often -used LMs. |
| 19:45 |
Larkylouz |
Thank you. |
| 19:45 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me nods...it let me copy SLURL right from the landmark in my inventory |
| 19:45 |
Martini Discovolante |
htat might be new.. i DO remember having to open the map and Copy SLURL form there before |
| 19:46 |
Larkylouz |
Yes, I do that all the time for Ajuda SL Brasil. But the others I don't know so well. |
| 19:46 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh i added Ajuda to my favorites -- that allows COPY SLURL on selection |
| 19:47 |
Martini Discovolante |
without having to even open inv. |
| 19:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right |
| 19:47 |
Larkylouz |
favorites? |
| 19:47 |
Larkylouz |
/me goes looking for that one. |
| 19:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
To the right of the location bar |
| 19:47 |
Shouten Haller |
Look no further Miss Larky, here I am |
| 19:47 |
Friends of Caledon Oxbridge Donation Medallion |
Excalibur Longstaff gave a generous donation to Friends of Caledon Oxbridge to help support classes, tutorials, & tier at Caledon's Oxbridge |
| 19:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you right click in the menu area, you can select "show location and favorites bar" |
| 19:48 |
Larkylouz |
I am sorry. Location bar? |
| 19:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They share the same line, but you can move the partition. |
| 19:48 |
Larkylouz |
whoa! TY |
| 19:48 |
Martini Discovolante |
taaaadaaaaaa! |
| 19:48 |
Larkylouz |
heee |
| 19:49 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me blinks and notices something that reads "Favorites Bar" next to the location |
| 19:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And you drag a LM into the favorites portion and .... |
| 19:49 |
Marion Questi |
Here at Oxbridge we're all about the big AHA! |
| 19:49 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
AHA! |
| 19:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Favourites Bar servers some good drinks and has good music ... and ...... belay that. |
| 19:50 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me just successfully dragged his first LM to his favorites bar |
| 19:50 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
lol |
| 19:50 |
Josain Zsun |
YeeHa...opps Sorry Got too excited |
| 19:50 |
Marion Questi |
You need to get in-world more often Mr Steamlander!! |
| 19:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, if you right click on something in the favorites bar, you can copy SLURL |
| 19:50 |
Larkylouz |
/me suddenly wants a VERY wide screen |
| 19:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And left-clicking TPs you. |
| 19:50 |
Martini Discovolante |
yus.. we miss seeing you around! |
| 19:51 |
Larkylouz |
Thank you. I will play. |
| 19:51 |
Josain Zsun |
/me reasserts suggestion for Preferences & Interface class |
| 19:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can rename a LM to shorten the display in the bar. |
| 19:51 |
Martini Discovolante |
I liek that idea, Mr Zsun! |
| 19:52 |
Martini Discovolante |
you are elected! |
| 19:52 |
Josain Zsun |
/me ducks |
| 19:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sounds like something for my ToDo (or rather to arm twist an instructor) |
| 19:52 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
Interesting. If I change the name of the LM in inventory it changes in the bar... |
| 19:52 |
Martini Discovolante |
sorrrreeeee! onus-bomb has landed! |
| 19:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right. |
| 19:53 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
(had expected to just edit the form in the favorites itself w/out changing inventory name) |
| 19:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There is a favorites bar section in inventory |
| 19:54 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me is glad he stayed for the Q&A ^^ |
| 19:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can rename etc in the favorites folder. |
| 19:55 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
I am not seeing that in my inventory. The LM to the Gaiety just appeared in "Landmarks" |
| 19:55 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
(I appear to be using SL viewer 3.4.5) |
| 19:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
My folder shows up just under "current outfits" |
| 19:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
SL 3.4.0 |
| 19:57 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
Hmmm. I see no such folder in Current Outfits on mine. Curious. |
| 19:57 |
Marion Questi |
I'm in 3.4.5 and the Favorites folder is in the LM folder, not Inventory. |
| 19:57 |
Larkylouz |
My viewer has it under the Landmarks Folder |
| 19:57 |
Josain Zsun |
/me updated to 3.4.5.27 last week. |
| 19:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not IN. Under |
| 19:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They might have rearrange. |
| 19:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
LL has been know to do stuff like that. |
| 19:58 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me scratches his head and looks again |
| 19:58 |
Josain Zsun |
/me an Inventory management class would be useful also |
| 19:58 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
AHA! "My Favorites" below "Landmarks" in the list (alphabetically) |
| 19:59 |
Martini Discovolante |
no one will want to hear it... throw out stuff that is crap, and sort everything in recent before every log off. end of class. let the moaning begin. |
| 19:59 |
Gravenside |
pff, ha |
| 19:59 |
Martini Discovolante |
thos boxing stuff is useful |
| 20:00 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
Curious. I had renamed it on the copy in the "Landmarks" folder, it kept the original name there, but applied the changes in the "My Favorites" |
| 20:00 |
Marion Questi |
Inventory management is more about discipline than anything else. |
| 20:00 |
Excalibur Steamlander (excalibur.longstaff) |
/me looks alarmed: throw away my precious...er...extra inventory? |
| 20:00 |
Larkylouz |
When I started, it took me a long time to figure out the difference between the library, the Inventory and the Appearances pane. There is much that could be included in such a class for new folks. |
| 20:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or create a folder name "extra inventory" |
| 20:02 |
Marion Questi |
Well...my friends, we are at the end of our time. |
| 20:02 |
Josain Zsun |
Ever do a search for "Floating Text" scripts? Just deleting all the ones that came with every item reduces the count. |
| 20:02 |

Thank you all for coming. Thank you for the interesting questions. |

i feel like i missed out, was the lecture on inventory efficiency? |
| 20:04 |
Marion Questi |
It might be better it you sat out in the chat circle, Mr Dav, that way you can hear the announcement if the sim get too full. |
| 20:04 |
dav2k |
ok. forgot my question about it. |
| 20:04 |
Marion Questi |
This was a general Q&A Mr Graveside....all questions welcome...:) |
| 20:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It was a weekly Q&A meeting. |
| 20:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We got into use of the favorites bar and where that shows up in inventory |
| 20:05 |

i like the take all questions approach |

Reminds me, I do have someone who was going to put something together on steampunk variations.
