Marion Questi |
Take a seat anywhere, Miss Ninjachick. We'll get started at 7:00 |
| 18:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good eve, Dean Questi. |
| 18:48 |
sceneninjachick |
ok :) |
| 18:48 |
Marion Questi |
Nice to see you Miss Louz. |
| 18:48 |
Larkylouz |
Hi Dean Jarvinen, Dean Questi. |
| 18:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Greetings, Miss Larky. |
| 18:49 |
sceneninjachick |
hi |
| 18:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Miss Ninjachick. |
| 18:50 |
Larkylouz |
Hi Miss Chick. |
| 18:50 |
sceneninjachick |
thanks |
| 18:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Am I early or really late? |
| 18:51 |
sceneninjachick |
early |
| 18:51 |
Marion Questi |
Early! |
| 18:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oh good. |
| 18:51 |
dav2j |
barely on time?! |
| 18:52 |
sceneninjachick |
you guys look really proffeyional up there :) |
| 18:53 |
dav2j |
9 avatars - safe so far... |
| 18:53 |
sceneninjachick |
i think i spelled that wrong |
| 18:53 |
Marion Questi |
Oh good...we work hard at that...:) |
| 18:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Easier to do in Second Life than in that other world. |
| 18:53 |
sceneninjachick |
i agree |
| 18:53 |
Larkylouz |
professional, Miss Chick |
| 18:53 |
PhyllisNewton |
They have large crates of Spiff |
| 18:54 |
sceneninjachick |
o thank you! |
| 18:54 |
Me3AL11 |
my chest is not right D= |
| 18:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Spiff sprayed on like painters spray texture on a wall. |
| 18:55 |
Marion Questi |
Is that your chair over the door, Dean Jarvinen? |
| 18:55 |
PhyllisNewton |
Hmmm...a marketable item, there...Spiff Spray |
| 18:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hmmm ty Dean Q. |
| 18:56 |
Marion Questi |
:) |
| 18:57 |
Marion Questi |
Please be patient folks. Dean Discovolante should be joining us shortly and we will begin. |
| 18:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I locked the classroom building. |
| 18:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good! |
| 18:57 |
Marion Questi |
/me smiles. "Good plan" |
| 18:58 |
PhyllisNewton |
Named to honor an intoxicant and UFOs |
| 18:58 |
sceneninjachick |
confused!!! |
| 18:58 |
Marion Questi |
Is the soft floor still properly indexed? |
| 18:59 |
Marion Questi |
Please keep your seats ladies and gentlemen...don't be alarmed. |
| 18:59 |
Marion Questi |
Perfect. |
| 18:59 |
PhyllisNewton |
Oh, My... |
| 18:59 |
sceneninjachick |
what the |
| 18:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's just our way of flooring you. |
| 18:59 |
Larkylouz |
drowning in flooring.... |
| 18:59 |
Larkylouz |
LOL |
| 19:00 |
sceneninjachick |
flooring us???? |
| 19:00 |
Gronk Seriman |
Was that the "School Board"? |
| 19:00 |
Larkylouz |
Wooden lot they are, if so. |
| 19:00 |
Marion Questi |
Well...as it is now 7 o'clock I think we ought to beging without our absent dean. |
| 19:00 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome everyone, and thank you for your patience. |
| 19:00 |
Larkylouz |
/me wonders if that is what they call 'planking' |
| 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. |
| 19:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Flooring soming is an idiom for surprising or astounding them, Miss Check. |
| 19:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Chick. |
| 19:01 |
Marion Questi |
Who would like to ask the first question? |
| 19:01 |
sceneninjachick |
i do |
| 19:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Go ahead. |
| 19:02 |
Marion Questi |
Go ahead Miss Ninjachick. |
| 19:02 |
PhyllisNewton |
/me waits my turn |
| 19:02 |
sceneninjachick |
when will i be able to go to more places.....im only allowed to walk around the tutorial thing |
| 19:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Are you under 18? |
| 19:02 |
sceneninjachick |
yes |
| 19:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think what may be happening is that until you turn 18 you are only allowed in G-rated sims |
| 19:03 |
sceneninjachick |
but do i have to wait actual YEARS or not |
| 19:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ahh. Then you can go to any General sim. |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
You can TP to any G rated sim. |
| 19:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The sims that adjoin Oxbridge are M-rated. You can however teleport to any G-rated sim. |
| 19:03 |
sceneninjachick |
tp?? |
| 19:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Teleport |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
Teleport. |
| 19:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Teleport |
| 19:03 |
sceneninjachick |
o......how? |
| 19:03 |
Marion Questi |
You have gone through the tutorial yes? |
| 19:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Using either landmarks or the map or the Search guide |
| 19:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
or destination guide |
| 19:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Check out the Hall of Avatar Motion in the tutorial for instructions on teleporting. |
| 19:04 |
sceneninjachick |
so i basically have to wait 3 years to do anything |
| 19:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, there are more General rated sims. |
| 19:04 |
Marion Questi |
Oh there is still quite a lot to explore in SL that isn't adult. |
| 19:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not continuous with this one, however. |
| 19:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Pretty much. There are a number of areas of SL that are R to X rated and LL doesn't want the responsibility of dealing with underage people in those zones. |
| 19:05 |
Martini Discovolante |
sorry i am late |
| 19:05 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome Dean Discovolante! |
| 19:05 |
sceneninjachick |
so i only get to walk around here??? |
| 19:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And in any G-rated sims |
| 19:05 |
sceneninjachick |
o........ok i yhink i got it now....maybe |
| 19:06 |
Martini Discovolante |
you can use your SEARCH to find G-rated sims |
| 19:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Currently there are 3888 G-rated sims |
| 19:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can open search, and select places. You can also get to the destination guide that way. |
| 19:07 |
Martini Discovolante |
and right by our sandbox teleporter is a sign, that has a list of -rated sandboxes init |
| 19:07 |
Martini Discovolante |
in it. |
| 19:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It will show you if a place is rated G, M, or A. You can go to the ones listed as G. |
| 19:07 |
Martini Discovolante |
that is a great resource to have. |
| 19:08 |
Marion Questi |
I think Miss Newton had a question...? |
| 19:08 |
PhyllisNewton |
Yes, I did...When was I equipped with autopilot? And how can I get the notifications to go away? |
| 19:09 |
Martini Discovolante |
you mena if you click on somethign, you go there? |
| 19:09 |
Marion Questi |
Autopilot? |
| 19:09 |
Martini Discovolante |
what viewer are you in? |
| 19:10 |
PhyllisNewton |
LLs |
| 19:10 |
Martini Discovolante |
if you do not know, you are in the SL viewer |
| 19:10 |
Martini Discovolante |
okay. |
| 19:10 |
Marion Questi |
Look at Preferences > Move & View > Single Click on Land |
| 19:10 |
PhyllisNewton |
OK |
| 19:10 |
Martini Discovolante |
in preferences, ME>Preferences, or CTRL-P |
| 19:11 |
Martini Discovolante |
find MOVE & VIEW |
| 19:11 |
PhyllisNewton |
OK...Found it |
| 19:11 |
Martini Discovolante |
and at the bottom you can set how your clicks affectr your movement |
| 19:11 |
PhyllisNewton |
;;;nods;;; |
| 19:12 |
Larkylouz |
/me raises her hand |
| 19:12 |
Marion Questi |
You will also see under the Preferences > Notifications a way to turn off various notifications. |
| 19:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Miss Larky? |
| 19:12 |
Marion Questi |
Yes Miss Louz? |
| 19:12 |
Larkylouz |
Is there an easy way for one to tell if an orange cube in inventory needs to be unpacked or simply worn? |
| 19:12 |
Martini Discovolante |
somethign i learned today.. i have TELEPORT TO clicked.. but in a hubbed region (one landing point) it will not work! so MOVE TO would be better. |
| 19:13 |
sceneninjachick |
=sceneninjachick raises her hand= |
| 19:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think you have to take it out of inventory to tell. |
| 19:13 |
Larkylouz |
Just wondered if I was missing something obvious. |
| 19:13 |
Marion Questi |
As far as I know, there is no way to tell whether any object in inventory is wearable or not. You have to rez it to see. |
| 19:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
Larky--- a nice maker will put (BOXED) on something that needs unpacking. |
| 19:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. That's been annoying for almost 10 years now in SL:) |
| 19:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
An orange cube implies object. Sometimes the name includes boxed. |
| 19:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Miss Ninja? |
| 19:14 |
Larkylouz |
Oh, thank you. That helps. |
| 19:14 |
Martini Discovolante |
i usually wear them first, in case it is a primmy primmy object :) |
| 19:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Miss ninjachick? |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
She's typing, I believe. |
| 19:15 |
sceneninjachick |
ok.....well im very curiouse to know if you can take classes at sl |
| 19:15 |
sceneninjachick |
how? |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. |
| 19:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You can take both free classes in SL skills offered by various groups in SL, and in some cases, there are RL colleges offering classes via SL, too. |
| 19:15 |
Marion Questi |
There are all sorts of classes going on all over SL. |
| 19:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oxbridge offers a mid-sized schedule of free classes in SL skills each week. Check out the schdule on the wall to your right |
| 19:16 |
Larkylouz |
The notecard I sent you lists several places with classes |
| 19:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Most of the buildings here are a self-paced tutorial on Second Life skills. |
| 19:16 |
Martini Discovolante |
and some places offer classes in skills useful in both worlds, liek photoshop classes |
| 19:16 |
Martini Discovolante |
or Blender. |
| 19:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And this is the classroom, here. |
| 19:17 |
sceneninjachick |
umm how do i become part of the classes |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I just dropped you a notecard with more places that offer free classes in SL. Most of them will be G-rated, though a few may be M-rated. |
| 19:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You show up at the day and time. |
| 19:17 |
PhyllisNewton |
Walk in and take a seat |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Just show up. |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You are in one of our classes now :) |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
See--you already know how to do it. |
| 19:17 |
Marion Questi |
Depends....here you just show up. For RL universities you may have to be enrolled. |
| 19:17 |
sceneninjachick |
how do i no what time |
| 19:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
times are SLT which is the same as pacific time. |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And check out those other places in the notecard |
| 19:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
For RL universities, you need to check with the university itself. |
| 19:17 |
sceneninjachick |
ok |
| 19:18 |
sceneninjachick |
thanks |
| 19:18 |
Marion Questi |
Next question? |
| 19:18 |
Larkylouz |
There is a schedule of the Oxbridge classes on the wall behind you and to your right. |
| 19:18 |
sceneninjachick |
i like to be involved in several things |
| 19:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you left click on one of the schedules here, it will offer you a notecard version. |
| 19:18 |
sceneninjachick |
ok thanks |
| 19:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
About 2/3rds of the places on the notecard I gave you are G-rated. The rest are M-rated. |
| 19:19 |
sceneninjachick |
this isnt a question but i just want to say sorry.....i no sometimes i can be very annoying...but im just VERY social |
| 19:20 |
Martini Discovolante |
and if you join our scholars' Group, classes are announced righ t before they happen |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Does anyone have another question? |
| 19:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
/me raises a hand. |
| 19:20 |
Martini Discovolante |
usually 30 and 5 minutes before |
| 19:20 |
Marion Questi |
We don't find questions annoying Miss . |
| 19:20 |
Marion Questi |
Yes Miss Seriman? |
| 19:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Don't worry. Asking questions doesn't annoy us. |
| 19:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We like questions. |
| 19:21 |
dav2j |
Why is it so dark in here |
| 19:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Does the notecard version of the schedule reflect cancellations and changes? Or is it a snapshot of the schedule w2hen you clicked? |
| 19:21 |
sceneninjachick |
could i possibly become someones assistant??? or is that not allowed?? |
| 19:22 |
Martini Discovolante |
/me peers over at Dean J, the schedulemeister |
| 19:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It reflects the schedule that is viewable .... unless I've updated it in the last 90 minutes. |
| 19:22 |
Marion Questi |
It's dark because in SIm time, it's nearly sundown. |
| 19:22 |
dav2j |
Moreover, could I have a telpor to just outside the schedule of classes. |
| 19:22 |
Marion Questi |
Second Life runs on a 4 hour "Day/Night" cycle. |
| 19:22 |
Marion Questi |
It will be dawn in about an hour. |
| 19:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When I update, the notecard version is immediate (comes from the server). The texture takes an hour or so to propagate to the schedule kiosks. |
| 19:23 |
Martini Discovolante |
that way we get several lovely sunsets a day |
| 19:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Miss Ninja, what do you mean by "someone's assistant"? |
| 19:23 |
dav2j |
Moonrise new or am I daft? |
| 19:23 |
Marion Questi |
The moon will rise in a few minutes. |
| 19:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Always a full moon in SL. Always rises shortly after sunset. |
| 19:24 |
sceneninjachick |
like help people with whatever they need done |
| 19:25 |
sceneninjachick |
maybe.... i dont know i just want to help someone |
| 19:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't really know. It isn't something that comes up here often. Does anyone else have any ideas? |
| 19:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Peers over at Dean D, the tutor mistress. |
| 19:25 |
Marion Questi |
Since today is your first day Miss Ninjachick, you might want to log some mouse time in SL before you try helping...:) |
| 19:25 |
dav2j |
Hang out in the Destination Islands to help newbies, unless |
| 19:25 |
dav2j |
that is a LL test. |
| 19:26 |
Martini Discovolante |
i have seen it rarely in SL.. and usually after a long relationship on the same business or project. |
| 19:26 |
sceneninjachick |
today is my second day mr marion |
| 19:27 |
Marion Questi |
My appologies, Miss. |
| 19:27 |
Larkylouz |
You may find, Miss Chick, that once you learn your way around, you will find lots and lots of things to keep you busy. Exploring, dancing, learning creative skills. |
| 19:27 |
Martini Discovolante |
:) she is twice as old as you thought! |
| 19:27 |
Larkylouz |
hehe |
| 19:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When this sim is not crowded, you may be here with the tutors who are helping. |
| 19:28 |
sceneninjachick |
lol.....well i really just want a person to help out....doesnt have to be a teacher or anything just "a person" |
| 19:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But we can only have 20 at a time on this sim. So there is a notice when it is getting too full. |
| 19:29 |
Martini Discovolante |
and we do have a rule against simply parking here... we neve know when it is going to get busy... and so we usually have good suggestions on other places to go and explore |
| 19:29 |
dav2j |
I never received the list... |
| 19:30 |
Martini Discovolante |
we are here to get you started in SL... to wequip you to go out into the world. |
| 19:30 |
Martini Discovolante |
Dav there is a wall full of posters to get LM s from. |
| 19:30 |
dav2j |
Ah, ty. |
| 19:30 |
Martini Discovolante |
and you can use your SEARCH |
| 19:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(parking being leaving your avatar here inworld while away from keyboard for more than a few minutes) |
| 19:31 |
sceneninjachick |
is there ANYTHING i can do so that i have to be here at a certain date and time???? |
| 19:31 |
Josain Zsun |
Set your alarm |
| 19:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Come to a class. |
| 19:31 |
dav2j |
Come on time to classes? |
| 19:31 |
Martini Discovolante |
we do not have a schedule here fo any of our volunteers. |
| 19:31 |
dav2j |
The photography class does not repeat. |
| 19:31 |
Larkylouz |
Certainly you could attend classes. Oxbridge has many classes designed for folks new to Second Life (SL) |
| 19:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Bye the way there is a reason that we are limited to 20 people in the sim. This sim is a "Homestead" class sim with less power than the full sims. Linden Lab limits Homestead sims to 20 avatars to reduce the load on their systems. On the other hand Oxbridge can afford a Homestead sim, but could not afford a full sim. |
| 19:32 |
Larkylouz |
The Photography Salon on Saturday evenings repeats weekly. |
| 19:32 |
Martini Discovolante |
all of our current classes are at a regular time each week, if you miss one it is not lost forever. |
| 19:32 |
dav2j |
No, I meant the subject subtopics are always new? |
| 19:33 |
Martini Discovolante |
th e premis remains the same. |
| 19:33 |
dav2j |
Some classes seem verbatim except for viewer input. |
| 19:33 |
sceneninjachick |
ok i will participate in classes........how do you guys become the teachers of the classes? |
| 19:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And questions answered |
| 19:33 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is all up to each individula instructor. |
| 19:33 |
Marion Questi |
Pardon me if this is an intrusive question, Miss Ninjachick, but is there a reason you want to have a commitment to be here at a certain time? |
| 19:34 |
sceneninjachick |
because i want to be important |
| 19:34 |
Marion Questi |
Fair enough. |
| 19:34 |
sceneninjachick |
and i like being invovled |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Learn skills, take classes, and observe. |
| 19:35 |
sceneninjachick |
what skills?? |
| 19:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There also chat groups for here and other help organizations. |
| 19:35 |
Martini Discovolante |
htere are also more extensive classes at Builders Brewery. you can be scheduled alll day long studying there! |
| 19:35 |
sceneninjachick |
ooo can i be in a group???????????? |
| 19:36 |
Marion Questi |
Being involved is a good thing...In fact it's what SL is about, really. But, SL has a fairly steep learning curve. |
| 19:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
People ask questions and you can always provide an answer if you know it. |
| 19:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
To be honest, unfortunately the fact that you are underage will make most people and organizations in SL hesitate to put you in such a position. People are (understandably) worried about being confronted by angry parents who feel their child is being taken advantage of--or even worse--only know of SL from the news stories that inevitably associate SL with kinky sex (because that sells papers/generates clicks for them). |
| 19:37 |
Marion Questi |
I have sent you an invitation to join our scholar's group. |
| 19:37 |
sceneninjachick |
what do i do in the group? |
| 19:37 |
Marion Questi |
By the way, you can ask for help in this group. |
| 19:38 |
Marion Questi |
There are over 11,000 people in the group who are happy to help newcomers. |
| 19:38 |
sceneninjachick |
thanks |
| 19:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or be helped by older timers |
| 19:38 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is a group for peopel to ask questions about Second Life, and we have many very knowledgeable members that tune in ot help. |
| 19:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(older being a state of knowledge) |
| 19:38 |
Marion Questi |
The moon has risen. |
| 19:38 |
dav2j |
ty |
| 19:38 |
dav2j |
1/2 moon |
| 19:39 |
Martini Discovolante |
for that reason, we ask that socializing be kept at a minimum in that chat.. . |
| 19:39 |
sceneninjachick |
i have several more questions but its time for me to get off the computer.....i will come to as many classes as i can :) |
| 19:39 |
sceneninjachick |
thank you very much guys and girls :) |
| 19:39 |
Martini Discovolante |
we look forward to seeing you Miss! |
| 19:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk Thanks you for coming to Q&A. :) |
| 19:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
1/1 moon, dav |
| 19:40 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You are welcome |
| 19:40 |
dav2j |
Yes, moon was under cloud cover for a momentnt |
| 19:41 |
Marion Questi |
Who has another question for us? |
| 19:41 |
dav2j |
I still have to crabwalk to the East to see it. |
| 19:41 |
dav2j |
I always do. Is Dean DiscoVolante an Easter Bunny? |
| 19:42 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. There is no such thing as the Easter Bunny. |
| 19:42 |
Martini Discovolante |
pfft. |
| 19:42 |
Gronk Seriman |
Bah! |
| 19:42 |
Martini Discovolante |
i dated him in highschool. |
| 19:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
An egghead? |
| 19:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, Dean Discovolante makes and sells a variety of tiny animal avatars and clothing for them in two shops in Caledon Kittiwickshire |
| 19:43 |
Larkylouz |
Dean Metropolitan, I am glad you didn't find reason to share such cynicism until the kids were gone. |
| 19:43 |
Larkylouz |
;^) |
| 19:43 |
dav2j |
The number thing below the dais is new? |
| 19:43 |
dav2j |
"04019" |
| 19:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I dont' think that I told Miss Ninja was cynical. It was realistic. People will be nervous about having an underage person working with them. It is just the way things are. |
| 19:43 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. I just put that out to get a count of G-rated sims for Miss Ninja |
| 19:44 |
Larkylouz |
No, I"m teasing you about saying there's no Easter Bunny, Dean M |
| 19:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Ah. Sorry. |
| 19:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Well, there isn't. |
| 19:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
Bah! |
| 19:44 |
Larkylouz |
pfft |
| 19:44 |
Josain Zsun |
/me gasps...No Easter Bunny? |
| 19:44 |
dav2j |
Steampunk is a myth, too, then. |
| 19:44 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And no Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy either. They are both your parents. |
| 19:45 |
Josain Zsun |
/me covers his ears |
| 19:45 |
Martini Discovolante |
what about the Toilet Monster? |
| 19:45 |
dav2j |
Well, at least there is the Hogfather. |
| 19:45 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, the "Thing in the Closet" is quite real, and will eat you if you don't leave a small light on at night. |
| 19:45 |
Larkylouz |
What abut the Krakkan? |
| 19:45 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh that is real. |
| 19:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Recalls one time, Miss wendyslippers looking very bunnyish, if a bit keyed up, and delivery Easter baskets. |
| 19:45 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Very real. They hang out in Caledon Middlesea |
| 19:46 |
Martini Discovolante |
my frisky little sky kittens! |
| 19:46 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Dean Discovolante also sells those, too. |
| 19:46 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Sky Krakens, I mean. |
| 19:46 |
Marion Questi |
Mr Landau I think your mic is on. |
| 19:46 |
Carl Metropolitan |
She is multi-talented. |
| 19:47 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Some years there is an Easter Bunny Linden that goes around giving out eggs with prizes in them. But I don't know if LL does that anymore. They may be too corporate now. |
| 19:47 |
Marion Questi |
One of her finest creations is the Jules Verne Chair. I f you haven't seen it, you owe it to your self to stop by her shop in Kittiwickshire to see it...:) |
| 19:47 |
Gronk Seriman |
LL doesn't even clean up their sandboxes any more. |
| 19:47 |
Josain Zsun |
If you can get close enough to Sit on the balloon, you can make the Krakkan crazy, but they can't unseat you. |
| 19:47 |
Martini Discovolante |
/me blushes all the way to her tail |
| 19:48 |
dav2j |
the shoppe with the telpor just next to the sandbox, outside? |
| 19:48 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. This one is in Caledon Kittiwickshire. |
| 19:48 |
Larkylouz |
Dean D, how many stores do you have? If that isn't considered nosy? I'm just curious. |
| 19:48 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Ask Dean Discovolante for a LM |
| 19:48 |
dav2j |
consider it done. |
| 19:48 |
dav2j |
(will I be banned?) |
| 19:48 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. |
| 19:49 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh just the upper NW corner of Kitti |
| 19:49 |
Martini Discovolante |
and one in Victoria City |
| 19:49 |
Larkylouz |
Isn't the shop by the train depot yours? |
| 19:49 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh that is a school store, and the train station baggage claim. |
| 19:49 |
Marion Questi |
I fear we're getting off the track. Does anyone have a question for us? |
| 19:50 |
dav2j |
The number thing below the stage is new? 1281 Results for "steampunk" so, further winnowing would be a good thing. |
| 19:50 |
Marion Questi |
We only have 10 minutes left...anyone? |
| 19:50 |
Martini Discovolante |
tthe school store is for any prof or tutor that wants to makwe Oxbridge stuffs. |
| 19:50 |
dav2j |
(two questions.0 |
| 19:50 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you don't, please be aware that hitting CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-H will cause your client to say "hippos" |
| 19:50 |
Martini Discovolante |
most of us donate the proceeds to OXB |
| 19:50 |
Nixonϯ (richarbr) |
I want to become a priest nun |
| 19:50 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Also note that tinies will do most anything for freshly made waffles, but will spurn Eggos unless desperate. |
| 19:51 |
Martini Discovolante |
we are a secular and virtual institution, miss Nixon |
| 19:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The number thing was temporary :) |
| 19:51 |
Marion Questi |
Oxbridge my look like a cloister but it is not. We can't help you with the mystical. |
| 19:51 |
Nixonϯ (richarbr) |
ooh thanls |
| 19:51 |
Nixonϯ (richarbr) |
thanks* |
| 19:51 |
Martini Discovolante |
i suggest you use your SEARCH for someplace more Ecumenical |
| 19:52 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't suppose suggesting she go to China would have been apporpriate? |
| 19:52 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 19:52 |
Marion Questi |
Alas, one can find mysticism almost anywhere...:) |
| 19:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Other fun SL facts: The maximum number of attachments (including HUDs) you can have on your avatar is 38. |
| 19:53 |
Martini Discovolante |
i will tell you fortune in the brumbs left from raspberry scones |
| 19:53 |
Marion Questi |
I confess I did not know that! |
| 19:53 |
Larkylouz |
/me raises her hand again. |
| 19:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You can only link a maximum of 256 prims in one linkset. |
| 19:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Miss Larky? |
| 19:53 |
Marion Questi |
Yes Miss Louz? |
| 19:53 |
Larkylouz |
Is it possible to use voice her in the Lecture Hall? |
| 19:54 |
Larkylouz |
*here |
| 19:54 |
Marion Questi |
Yes. |
| 19:54 |
Larkylouz |
TY |
| 19:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, be prepared for no one to be listening :) |
| 19:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And by the train station. |
| 19:54 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Caledon tends to be very text-centric |
| 19:54 |
Martini Discovolante |
we have had prof inthe past that preferred Voice classes |
| 19:54 |
Larkylouz |
I am asking for the information because someone with a disability that makes it difficult to type had asked me. |
| 19:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Send them to Virtual Ability |
| 19:55 |
Martini Discovolante |
we cannot have it on our main parcel as it is too large and voice will travel 60m+ |
| 19:55 |
Martini Discovolante |
it is very confusing and distracting |
| 19:55 |
Marion Questi |
whispers: Does you friend know about Virtual Ability? |
| 19:56 |
Larkylouz |
I did tell him about VA. |
| 19:56 |
Carl Metropolitan |
While we would do our best to help anyone with a disablity here, the people at VA are experts |
| 19:56 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Ah. |
| 19:56 |
Marion Questi |
They specialize in support systems for people with various challenges. |
| 19:56 |
Larkylouz |
I am aware of their work - they have an impressive reputation. |
| 19:56 |
Martini Discovolante |
i love using voice in SL.. but typing provides a record of the class, (notes for later) and can be used even by blind residents with readers. |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. They have one of the best orientation tutorials in SL. Easily as good as ours. |
| 19:57 |
Martini Discovolante |
and they are very dedicated :) |
| 19:57 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The other issue with voice is that some people desire the anonymity of text as their RL voices don't match the voice they envision for their avatar. |
| 19:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In many instances we could accommodate questions asked in voice, as long as there isn't other interference. |
| 19:58 |
Josain Zsun |
I give LM for Echo Canyon to help people hear hos they sound and adjust their mics. |
| 19:58 |
Josain Zsun |
how |
| 19:58 |
Larkylouz |
I prefer text myself, but some folks find it difficult to type because of various physical limitations., |
| 19:58 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So while people will often be happy to help in voice, a refusal to communicate in voice doesn't indicate a lack of regard for someone's disability necessarily |
| 19:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods. |
| 19:58 |
Larkylouz |
Mr. Landau, you need to sit on a different bench. These only accomodate one person. |
| 19:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
While others have hearing challenges. |
| 19:59 |
Martini Discovolante |
oh i know.. it is not easy for me anymore.. but here text simply makes the most sense. |
| 19:59 |
Martini Discovolante |
and Larky--- today i went to a LL info hub. |
| 19:59 |
Martini Discovolante |
i wanted ot poke my ears out. |
| 19:59 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I myself and an extremely hot 19-year old female bisexual college student with large breasts. And have been for the entire 7 years I've been in SL. So I use text to hide that. |
| 19:59 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Otherwise, people would be hitting on me all the time and stuff. |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
funy how they tend to flock to Second Life! |
| 20:00 |
Josain Zsun |
Totally |
| 20:00 |
Larkylouz |
/me doesn't know whether to laugh out loud or roll her eyes. |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
i see that in SOOOO many profiles! |
| 20:00 |
Marion Questi |
/me so Carl is finally out of the closet... |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
and back in the basement |
| 20:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That would have been funnier if I had typed "I myself am an" instead of "I myself and am" |
| 20:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I hate it when a typo ruins a good joke. |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
lol. |
| 20:00 |
dav2j |
I had gotten it. |
| 20:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Such is life. |
| 20:00 |
Martini Discovolante |
the curse of TEXT!!!!! |
| 20:00 |
dav2j |
No, not ruined. |
| 20:01 |
Marion Questi |
It is clearly time to adjourn this meeting!! |
| 20:01 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you everyone. |
| 20:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
/me Wonders how to sound like a pink fembot.... |
| 20:01 |
Martini Discovolante |
also in a crowded environment, test allows the shyer residents to still get a word in. |
| 20:01 |
Marion Questi |
Thank you everyone! |
| 20:01 |
dav2j |
May I sit outside a spell? |
| 20:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Synesthesia, Dean Jarvinen, Synesthesia |
| 20:02 |
Martini Discovolante |
thanks for lockingthe building, Carl! |
| 20:02 |
Martini Discovolante |
i nearly deleted it a today :) it was sooo lagalicious here! |
| 20:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Should help to keep it in place. |
| 20:02 |
Josain Zsun |
Anyone?…Anyone?…Beuller?…Anyone?… |
| 20:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I also wrote the location in the description field to make it easier to place again. |
| 20:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's what Red said about this last deletion -- The lag didn't help. |
| 20:03 |
Larkylouz |
/me wonders if there is an epidemic. |
| 20:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Goodnight.
|
