| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, time we should start, and hopefully Carl and Lindal will arrive in the by and by. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, don't interpret the separation as a social split between the deans. We normally have others in the middle. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do the Deans in Common have any items for us? |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sends a small horde of crickets their way. |
| 15:09 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Well, probably not a lot of exciting news from this end. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Nothing new from me. |
| 15:10 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Mostly routine work in the plaza and notecards that are in process but not finished. |
| 15:10 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Carl is online. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Notecards for? |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Instruction? tutors? (Plantagenets?) |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
I am continuing to do research on the ways in which helping areas like ours, that are General, deal with people with extremely adult profiles who show up. This is not yet finished. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
and it's an internal thing for tutors and professors and deans |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Carl, just getting started. |
| 15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi. Ignore me. I'm sick today and running late and not with it. I will just sit here and try to look Chancellor-like. |
| 15:12 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
For me, revising, editing evaluating notecards that are already part of the Faculty kit. I found some errors in the cloud notecard, and am rewriting part of the behavior card. |
| 15:12 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) offers Carl tar and recommends sauna |
| 15:12 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) faxes Carl some honey-lemon tea. |
| 15:13 |
|
Phrynne sends Carl a voucher for a hot tub |
| 15:13 |
|
Aylaria (emberell) straps a muffin to a carrier pigeon and sends it Carl's way |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl, anything new on your venue? Oxbridge participation in ...? etc. |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Not right now really |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I've had limited time on last week due to AC issues at home and feeling crappy |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
nods. hope you and environment are rapidly better. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Class info. |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
AC is fixed. Hopefully it will not go out again. |
| 15:18 |
|
Phrynne applauds |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Unfortunately my new scripting instructor had RL play havoc with his schedule to where he can't currently commit to a class. So reworking the scripting class a bit hopefully by next week. |
| 15:19 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
bummer! |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Josain expressed a desire to alternate inventory tour with library tour. |
| 15:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! Nice idea! |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm in favor of the idea. There are some good items and resources than can be fetched. |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That sounds like a good idea. |
| 15:21 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
no matter how old the stuff in the library, it is excellent to learn on. And lots of people don't seem to know it is there. |
| 15:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Most people don't think of the library |
| 15:21 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
I agree. A lot of people forget - or just don't know - what all can be accessed without having to go farther than the library |
| 15:21 |
Josain Zsun |
There's far more in there than the last time I had looked. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any of the classic avatars, for example, are parts resources. |
| 15:22 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Learning to mix and match those avatars is key to learning how to dress and customize an avatar. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Indeed, and also how not to. |
| 15:23 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
:^) |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'd shown a couple of plots last week on touches (aka takes) of the free avatars. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The plot behind me is the one I didn't have then, showing the distribution for each avatar over the day (in percent). |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Lighter is a higher percent / darker a lower one. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
From top to bottom are also in decreasing absolute numbers, except for the last row. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So 8-9pm is high for just about everything. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For the top male avatars, 2-3 am is better than for female avatars and tinies/robots. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's a bright spot for some of the tinies about 10am |
| 15:28 |
|
Gronk Seriman just likes how the chart "goes to eleven!" |
| 15:28 |
Xarin Skytower |
Bah dum tish! |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's eleven percent. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The maximum percentage for any avatar being just a bit over that. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Percentage in a single hour. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phyrnne and Larky both have the set of plots. |
| 15:30 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
I knew they wer eplotting something... |
| 15:31 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I wonder if it was those tinies running around... |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Another recent item, someone returned the electrostatic avatar rezzer in the entry building. |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 15:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. Phynne just told me |
| 15:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think the original creator may no longer be active in SL |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've looked at the list of those with group return powers and reduced that a bit. |
| 15:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will check |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Des, I believe was the owner. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Group return powers are most often needed if a professor leaves their setup in the lecture hall. |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
BRB |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
For most, there's simply no need, and we keep leaking creations. |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
Is it possible to grant those return powers only for the lecture hall parcel? |
| 15:34 |
Meora (menchor) |
Locking things helps that |
| 15:35 |
Josain Zsun |
The Lecture hall has a 90 min. Autoreturn. I learned when I setup an hour early and had everything returned mid presentation. |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The prim that generates the remaining lightning bolt was made by Kamilah and owned by Desmond Magic |
| 15:35 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Generally, during the hours classes are held, there are people around to help clean the Lecture Hall if needed. EMs |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It does. No, it's a group setting not a land setting. |
| 15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
However, I'm very sure they were not the creators of the rest of the apparatus |
| 15:37 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We could use a new "rezzor" anyway. That one was 40+ prims and looked kind of old compared to the rest of the campus. |
| 15:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'd ask Ravelli, but he's done so much already. |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hopefully we have pictures if not the apparatus. |
| 15:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have some I think |
| 15:38 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will have to look |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm not an artist, but I do well with geometric shapes in mesh. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's all I have for the week. Questions? |
| 15:40 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
rasies hand |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Miss Andrea? |
| 15:40 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Perhaps making a new avatar rezzer could be a contest for the population at large |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
lowest land inpact, fufucntion etc |
| 15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That's a possibility, Andrea |
| 15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Speaking of contests, would anyone be interested in organizing a new photo contest. The photos in the Hall of Caledon are all several years old now. |
| 15:42 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Is it fair to look at having a rezzer made out of krakken skin and Caledon tartan???? |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
You might have to be careful about the krakken skin. Some are rare. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've also threatened to try making a slug cart to replace the horse carriages. |
| 15:42 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
The slug cart would go well with the kraken-skin rezzor |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
Why not a giant snail cart? |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
They have racing snails... |
| 15:42 |
Meora (menchor) |
and the slugs are silent |
| 15:43 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I prefer to hear the horses clattering along |
| 15:43 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
It may be a liability to introduce slug slime to Caledon and Oxbridge sidewalks. Call yer insurance agent. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Racing snails --- like the pastries served for breakfast? |
| 15:43 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
I'm sure we could add a little man with coconuts on the backs of the slugs, Andrea |
| 15:44 |
Phrynne |
Giant racing snails. Even the small ones are big. |
| 15:44 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Say, the listing for us in the Destinations guide is Caledon, not Oxbridge or Caledon Oxbridge. Off topic, but I just noticed that last night. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, LL! |
| 15:45 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Okay, I have a question, if I may |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You may. |
| 15:46 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
To the southeast of us on the minimap, there is an avatar displaying as (???) (???). I am assuming this is BloodlustAlice, but... what causes the question marks to happen? IS that something on their end, or ours? |
| 15:46 |
Phrynne |
I think that's a different person -- I saw him earlier. |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
It's not a glitch -- that's the name on the account |
| 15:47 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Endlessly~Delirious |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
yes |
| 15:47 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I think they may be in Andrea's pub? |
| 15:47 |
Carl Metropolitan |
True, but it sends y ou here, Larky |
| 15:47 |
Meora (menchor) |
if you try to bring up the profile it won't load |
| 15:47 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
They were. But I'm returning the avatar name as (???) (???), and getting ablank page |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
hmm. |
| 15:47 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Andrea says they returned a bed that had been rezzed, and ended up showing as that |
| 15:48 |
Phrynne |
I don't know then. |
| 15:48 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I'll go see. |
| 15:48 |
|
Aylaria (emberell) nods, "It's the first time I've seen something like that." |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It might also depend on their device. I've noticed that phones don't seem to report language. |
| 15:49 |
Meora (menchor) |
when they first came out with display names it happened a lot |
| 15:49 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I would ignore it. Probably a SL glitch that will be fixed eventually. |
| 15:49 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
So it may have something to do with the display name being imroperly routed to the avatar's location |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So a announcement |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods... Speaking of glitches, I've noticed more avatars appearing to be where they are not, lately. Sitting on something and appearing to be at the SW corner for example. |
| 15:51 |
Gronk Seriman |
I would hate for it to ba a new griefer tool. "You can't report me! You don't know my name!" |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
NO |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the avatar i smessed up. |
| 15:51 |
Phrynne |
That also happens from the dressing rooms here to the SW corner of the Village. |
| 15:51 |
Phrynne |
the ghosting, I mean |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
due to me returning her bed, then she would not eject |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
It should sort itself out |
| 15:52 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
I have seen that, too, Wordsmith. I get that a lot from the chairs in the hall of avatar motion too |
| 15:52 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
We're talking about something we see routinely on campus, andrea. May or may not be related to your visitor. |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ah |
| 15:53 |
Meora (menchor) |
I think the simulator loses track of where they are |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phyrnne and I both had trouble ejecting someone this morning. She using the HereRemover and I using EM tools. I think the sim simply was not responding well. |
| 15:53 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I've had people contact me with problems regarding mesh clothing attachments vanishing in teleports recently. |
| 15:53 |
Meora (menchor) |
known problem with LL |
| 15:53 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Yeah, I lost half of everything I was wearing in a recent teleport |
| 15:54 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Fortunately my alpha isn't mesh... but still |
| 15:54 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Quite disorienting |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thinks about the implications of that for a dragon...... |
| 15:54 |
|
Aylaria (emberell) grimaces, "Not pretty, Word!" |
| 15:54 |
|
Josain Zsun believes Mesh is still ßeta |
| 15:55 |
|
Meora (menchor) believes SL is still beta |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:55 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
This hat happens to be mesh. It does tend to disappear sometimes whenI TP.. Thought it is listed inthe outfit window. |
| 15:55 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
a announcement> |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sounds reasonable, Andrea. |
| 15:56 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I have a rezz day party for next sat the 15th at 3 to 5. Everyone is invited. Please let me know if you would like a LM |
| 15:56 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or nc |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But don't go into the basement? |
| 15:57 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
actually it may be don't go in the house. |
| 15:57 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
go to the roof instead |
| 15:57 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We shall see |
| 15:58 |
|
Josain Zsun though the roof was reserved for Aylaria |
| 15:58 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
its a big roof |
| 15:58 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
I don't take up that much room! |
| 15:58 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
not at the pub, a new house |
| 15:59 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Well, not usually... |
| 15:59 |
Josain Zsun |
I just recall seeing a sign. |
| 15:59 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Is there a suitable dance ball for Aylaria? :-) |
| 15:59 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Galas and balls are usually quite fancy, Eb, probably more lighter things |
| 16:00 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good name for an Inn. The Dancing Dragon. |
| 16:01 |
|
Aylaria (emberell) has been to one Green Dragon once. Good drink, lousy beds |
| 16:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Pretty much used up our time. Thank you all. |
| 16:03 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Thanks for taking the time to keep us informed, and to answer our questions. |
| 16:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sleep well, Elf. |
| 16:03 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Okay |
| 16:03 |
Meora (menchor) |
thanks deans |
| 16:03 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Bedtime and so on. |
| 16:03 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Be seeing you |
| 16:03 |
Aylaria (emberell) |
Rest well, Eb. I'll see you around |
| 16:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Bye Elfbiter |
| 16:04 |
Josain Zsun |
Good Evening all |
