Marion Questi |
It is past the hour...I think we ought to get started. |
| 15:02 |
Marion Questi |
Dean Rosca will not be able to join us tonight. |
| 15:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Does anyone see a chair I just tried to rez? |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Dean Rosca is off celebrating the solstice tonight. |
| 15:02 |
Marion Questi |
She is tending a summer's eve bonfire...:) |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not yet, Carl. |
| 15:02 |
Marion Questi |
No chair. |
| 15:03 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, midsummer festival Juhannus is already over in Finland :-) |
| 15:03 |
Marion Questi |
Looks like a rare Q&A with more Deans than audience...:) |
| 15:03 |
peter13.peterman |
That takes all night :) |
| 15:03 |
peter13.peterman |
MIdsummer there |
| 15:03 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome Mr Skysmith and Mr Peterman. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Lo, a chair. |
| 15:04 |
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. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As we can. |
| 15:04 |
Marion Questi |
On the Oxbridge website you can find a list of all the Deans with summaries of their respective areas of responsibility, : http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna_index.php |
| 15:04 |
Marion Questi |
But you may address questions to any or all of us. |
| 15:05 |
Marion Questi |
Who would like to ask the first question. |
| 15:05 |
Marion Questi |
? |
| 15:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
There is a party and a rose hunt going on that is limiting our attendence |
| 15:05 |
Marion Questi |
Yes...:) |
| 15:06 |
Marion Questi |
Well...if the audience can't come up with some good questions, we may adjourn early...:) |
| 15:06 |
peter13.peterman |
Are you going to use materials ? |
| 15:06 |
peter13.peterman |
or support that iun classes? |
| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Well, I've applied for a display spot for Oxbridge at VW-BPE 2013, and a round table discussion slot with the leaders of some of the new user helping centers. |
| 15:06 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
oh yes |
| 15:06 |
Marion Questi |
No materials, no handouts.... |
| 15:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So we have that coming up in July. |
| 15:07 |
Marion Questi |
Excellent! Sounds like a needed session. |
| 15:07 |
peter13.peterman |
oke. are there classes about rigging? |
| 15:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm hoping I can get Martini to represent Oxbridge, so I can just moderate. I tend to talk to much. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As in redesigning the sim, Mr. Peterman? |
| 15:07 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Do you mean animations? Or rigged mesh? |
| 15:07 |
peter13.peterman |
Well let say the avtaar as given out ehre |
| 15:08 |
peter13.peterman |
rigged mesh |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Texturing. Viewers with specular reflection and normal maps are now here. |
| 15:08 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
Dean Disvivolante is updating her classes because of the materials. |
| 15:08 |
peter13.peterman |
yes i know use that one at th moment |
| 15:09 |
peter13.peterman |
Do expereince wiht materials alreayd since introdicing them from start |
| 15:09 |
peter13.peterman |
as mesh and rigged mesh , that is why i ask |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We don't have a class in animations. There are places that do. I believe Builders Brewery does. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think the answer is "as time permits" |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We do, Carl. |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We do |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm an idiot. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Fridays, 3pm. |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Don't listen to me :) |
| 15:09 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Quixote runs animation class |

| 15:12 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome Dean Discovolante. |
| 15:12 |
Martini Discovolante |
thanks you! |
| 15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
You are way advanced over what most people in SL do. The classes here cover the very basics in most cases. |
| 15:12 |
Martini Discovolante |
helo all! |
| 15:12 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
Aloha Martini |
| 15:12 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
wb |
| 15:12 |
peter13.peterman |
Therefor i wa sjust wondering about how and what |
| 15:12 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
or better Houlu |
| 15:13 |
Meora (menchor) |
even the basic animation class is tough |
| 15:13 |
Martini Discovolante |
:) |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything that improves appearance and cuts down on land impact is of interest. |
| 15:14 |
peter13.peterman |
That is possible in many ways in sl |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As are changes to the interfaces. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you ever feel like teaching a more advanced course in SL, please contact us! Wordsmith to be exact. |
| 15:14 |
peter13.peterman |
already did ;) |
| 15:14 |
peter13.peterman |
and feel fre to contact me with questions as well |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You have attended a class. |
| 15:14 |
peter13.peterman |
several |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
yes. |
| 15:14 |
peter13.peterman |
just to see and look |
| 15:15 |
peter13.peterman |
Al ic an do is offering help if needed |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We are open to proposals, generally in the form of a notecard. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
While there is a small stipend associated with teaching, it is for all practical purposes volunteer. |
| 15:16 |
peter13.peterman |
I do not need payment :) |
| 15:16 |
peter13.peterman |
Just like to help |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We love help. |
| 15:16 |
peter13.peterman |
Like this place therefor |
| 15:17 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Well, there is the group membership... |
| 15:17 |
peter13.peterman |
Althought and true my time is limited due my rl work |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What I look for, if someone is interested in teaching, is a notecard laying out a general class framework, what a student will learn, and some basis for why the person can organize materials and teach. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not extensive. |
| 15:18 |
peter13.peterman |
okies |
| 15:18 |
peter13.peterman |
will see what i can do for you in that |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We also look for people who like Oxbridge and are consistent with its culture. |
| 15:19 |
peter13.peterman |
. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm not adverse to "special event" classes either ... more like a symposium. |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, coming here and volunteering to help is pretty consistent with our culture :) |
| 15:19 |
peter13.peterman |
I see an dunderstand |
| 15:21 |
Martini Discovolante |
we have a notecard for applying to be a tutor here, and one needs to know somethign about Caledon and the steamlands, as many come here to investigate them as well |
| 15:22 |
Meora (menchor) |
do the quest its fun if you haven't |
| 15:22 |
Marion Questi |
Thank you for that Miss Meora...:) |
| 15:22 |
Marion Questi |
Perhaps we should move along to another question. Anyone? |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Essentially, part of my tasks are to see that classes are for the benefit of the "students" without instructors seeing it as an advertising opportunity. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not to set anything unreasonable, but simply that the classes are given reasonable organization and that the teaching is taken as a commitment, subject to RL interventions or notice of canceling (for ongoing classes) |
| 15:24 |
Meora (menchor) |
I have something you may not be able to answer, why are there apparently so many problems with the airships |
| 15:25 |
Marion Questi |
By "the" airships..do you mean the CATs specifically? |
| 15:25 |
Meora (menchor) |
yes |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are two kinds of problems. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One is the general problem with crossing sim boundaries. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The other is a problem is something LL has changed that causes the airship to lose communication with the rezzing object. In which case, a new airship is rezzed. |
| 15:27 |
Meora (menchor) |
thank you |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If that, also does not communicate with the rezzer, then another and another and another is rezzed. |
| 15:27 |
Marion Questi |
What sort of problems have you encountered Miss Meora? |
| 15:27 |
Meora (menchor) |
I remember when that happened a couple of months ago |
| 15:27 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Same thing has happened with the watercraft... |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Multiple copies, that is |
| 15:28 |
Meora (menchor) |
they weren't running but you have explained it |
| 15:28 |
Marion Questi |
Same rezzer code, I suspect. |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
At least the subs have stopped cruising through Oxbridge. |
| 15:29 |
Meora (menchor) |
it was rezzing one every 30 seconds about 2 months ago |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There is some email bug, as I recall, but that could be unrelated. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It affected the ability of an object to receive emails until a restart was done. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The system had worked well, and then suddenly started failing. |
| 15:30 |
Meora (menchor) |
I used to explore on them |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They are one of the features that adds to what Caledon is. |
| 15:31 |
Meora (menchor) |
definitely! |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A sense of place and community. |
| 15:33 |
Meora (menchor) |
sort of like the trains |
| 15:33 |
Meora (menchor) |
too |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. We can't make the trains run on time here. We are considering facism. The CalSoc posters are alrealy printed and ready to go. |
| 15:33 |
Meora (menchor) |
Ha ha ha hahahaaa |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Mussolini actually did not succeed in that :-) |
| 15:34 |
Meora (menchor) |
hey it was Italy.................. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When I mention an email bug, something like this: Due to bug SVC-23[c] (present since 2005), objects may stop receiving emails completely until either the region is restarted or the object crosses a region boundary (resetting the script doesn't help). |
| 15:35 |
Meora (menchor) |
I love the way LL hops right on bugs.................NOT |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't know if that's the specific problem with the CATS etc, but something similar. And while the CATS cross region boundaries, their rezzer does not. |
| 15:36 |
Meora (menchor) |
the rezzers are at Cay |
| 15:38 |
Marion Questi |
Who has another question for us? |
| 15:38 |
|
Niki Listern raises hand |
| 15:39 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
Hello Niki! |
| 15:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What is your question? |
| 15:39 |
Niki Listern |
hello |
| 15:39 |
Marion Questi |
Yes Miss Listern? |
| 15:39 |
Niki Listern |
yes what if someone has trouble hearing streams |
| 15:40 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
what trouble exactly? |
| 15:40 |
Marion Questi |
You mean parcel media? |
| 15:40 |
Niki Listern |
I think so |
| 15:41 |
Martini Discovolante |
i have not hear dhte stream here fo some time , come to think of it. |
| 15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Is the trouble limited to a certain location? Or does it happen anywhere? |
| 15:41 |
Martini Discovolante |
(there is no one on the lecture hall parcel, but on the rest of OXB |
| 15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If it is a certain location, the problem could be with the stream there. |
| 15:41 |
Marion Questi |
I have trouble with parcel media from time to time myself. I can usually get it going if I fiddle with the controls and start and stop it. |
| 15:42 |
Carl Metropolitan |
But if it is everywhere, it is more likely a problem with your computer's sound settings or your SL sound settings. |
| 15:42 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
Niki, what is the exact problem? |
| 15:42 |
Martini Discovolante |
and for me, at least, using headphones adn then removing them will mess me up... even after resetting the sys prefs |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are times that getting SL music back requires relogging. At times it is easier to play the stream in an external player like VLC. |
| 15:44 |
Niki Listern |
d trouble hearing streams |
| 15:44 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Greetings, lady Rosca |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The bonfires have released Dean R. |
| 15:44 |
Martini Discovolante |
hello Tali! Happy Solstice! |
| 15:44 |
Marion Questi |
Welcome Dean Rosca. We were not expecting you. |
| 15:44 |
Tali Rosca |
Greetings, and thanks. |
| 15:44 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
does the music dont start or stop after some seconds? |
| 15:44 |
|
Tali Rosca is home from dancing around the bonfire. |
| 15:44 |
|
Wordsmith Jarvinen smiles |
| 15:44 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
Hello Tali |
| 15:45 |
Martini Discovolante |
i KNEW i smelled a whiff of singed fur! |
| 15:45 |
Niki Listern |
I bumped into someone who had trouble hearing streams |
| 15:46 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
would be helpful to get more info about it |
| 15:46 |
Niki Listern |
they didn't tell me what type the teleport else where |
| 15:46 |
Niki Listern |
i would of helped them |
| 15:47 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
perhaps they will come back |
| 15:47 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think we just dont have enough information. There are so many things that could cause that issue. |
| 15:47 |
Niki Listern |
bu he/she disappear |
| 15:47 |
peter13.peterman |
oke all i have to run. RL calls, Thank youa ll for this chat :) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As I recall, the viewer player is actually a separate program ... SLVox. |
| 15:48 |
Marion Questi |
Thank you for coming Mr Peterman. |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One can also get interference from anti-virus programs. |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As well as just the generally stubbornness of SL media in general. |
| 15:49 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
in the past i had the problem, that the music stream didnt started. only way to fix it was to power-cycle my router |
| 15:50 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
like the stream uses a different port as the rest of the viewer |
| 15:52 |
Ravelli Ormstein |
discussing video stream problems could become complicated :-) |
| 15:52 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
VEry |
| 15:52 |
Tali Rosca |
Streaming is separate from voice, and is,, IIRC, using a QuickTime plugin, In any case, it goes directly between your client('s media plugin) to the 3rd party server. |
| 15:53 |
Tali Rosca |
Also, I can't type, apparently :-S |
| 15:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm sorry, but I have to leave a bit early today. |
