Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2016-01-10

14:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hums ... It was a two-dean night,
14:56 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Hi everyone
14:56 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hiya cloud grnk :-)
14:56 Phrynne thinks of Three Dog Night and snorts
14:57 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hiya cloud renee
14:57 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Galaxy News Radio!
14:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, what title do you think we should assign Larky -- I just remembered I need to update the admin page..... Emeritus Dean of ?
14:58 Phrynne Emeritus Dean of Commons would be the mundane title.
14:58 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Loveliness?
14:58 Phrynne Emeritus Dean of Badassery?
14:58 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I assumed what Phrynne Just said.
14:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Perhaps.... perhaps...
14:59 Badass Fae (larkylouz) is glad TPTB seem to have forgotten the dressing room floors....
14:59 Gronk Seriman At the moment, both Renee and Larky are clouds to me.
15:00 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) sneaks back into her avatar with snack and water, ready to listen.
15:00 Phrynne Some of you are a bit gray or invisible to me, but your nametags are here
15:00 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Since it is several of us, I'm assuming it is SL, and not me.
15:01 Phrynne It's SL.
15:01 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Technical difficulties still going on...
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen It assuredly is SL. I couldn't even access a script earlier today.
15:01 Renee Caxton I tried to log in earlier and got all kinds of inventory errors about my clothing. When I logged back in recently it seemed ok, but SL may still be a bit messed up.
15:01 Phrynne I've been trying for two days to join a group for a group gift, and it does not work.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've a feeling today may be a short meeting. Phrynne, will you start?
15:04 Phrynne I have a fairly short report today. Christmas decorations have been taken down, but I left the lights in the trees because Oxbridge should look pretty. We have a new tutor on staff, MichaelNeff Macbeth, who has been inworld and at Oxbridge when he can be for a while, and is now official.
15:04 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Yeah!
15:04 Phrynne And beyond that, I've been helping people in the plaza and working on notecards and recordkeeping
15:05 Phrynne so that's al.
15:05 Phrynne *all
15:05 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Lots of clouds today...
15:05 Night Of Dystopia (nightbirdinmaine) took forever for me to rez today
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything from Asst Dean Tasha?
15:05 Phrynne Nothing today, other than her good wishes for our new tutor, along with mine.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen (Nods in agreement)
15:06 Phrynne She hopes to be able to be here some week, so people will know what she looks like, but it is very late in her time zone and she has work early on Mondays.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, if a British holiday can fall on a Monday it may be possible.
15:07 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Just so people know, Tasha often holds down the night shift at Oxbridge, along with Tutor Quantum Mechanique.
15:08 Phrynne They do an excellent job of helping people at an hour when many of us are asleep
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's now a two-seater version of the COLT (Caledon Oxbridge Little Testship) making the rounds of Oxbridge.
15:09 Gronk Seriman Ooo!
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen (I notice that QM has been promoted, btw)
15:09 Phrynne Go for a ride with a friend :)
15:09 Badass Fae (larkylouz) That happened a while ago, Word. :^)
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen I just hadn't been on at the same time (or on and watching)
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen The newer ship also revealed some jerkiness in the CAT engine script that runs it. I'm in the middle of tracking that down and modifying it.
15:12 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Bucks, does it? hmmmm
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen It does a bit still. Not as bad as the first run, however.
15:12 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Yer're gentlin' that COLT well, Cowboy.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Results in a sitting avatar sliding forward and back in the seat, since the avatar interpolation can't predict the COLT velocity.
15:13 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) You don't lose them?
15:14 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) Had that happen in my own airship.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen No, it corrects the opposite way when it updates. I'm shifting the coding to use the newer Keyframed motion and doing that over larger path chunks.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Apart from that technical stuff, I think I've got another sponsor, which mean I'm going take on the adboards, something that hasn't been actively done since Jayle resigned.
15:17 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) Seen the test ship from sea. Loud is an understatement!
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen I think that's about it for this last week.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Loud?
15:18 Phrynne Loud?
15:18 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) Caledon plaid?
15:18 Phrynne Ah. Not noisy?
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes. As the single-seater was.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Slightly larger airbag and a new mesh cabin and bench.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Questions (in general)?
15:20 Gronk Seriman Do I remember correctly that the CATS airships are safely hangared somewhere? That they weren't lost?
15:20 Phrynne They are not lost.
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) may i ask who the new advertiser is?
15:21 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) on the sponsor board?
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen They are not lost. The scripting had a few issues and the routes were decimated by sim loss.
15:22 Gronk Seriman Oh, good.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sakura Bellefleur, but not up as yet.
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions?
15:25 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) NO.
15:28 PSP V1.2 Personal Space Protector off
15:28 WSJ-Trans BarBar2Banter Version 1.2.3
15:28 Avatar Language HUD AvatarLanguage Version 1.1 initialized
15:28 [Second Life Sorry were late. we were fencing]
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) my alt just changed outfits sucesfully and is no longer a cloud
15:28 Phrynne Congratulations! Maybe we are nearly through the current difficulties.
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms2) yay...
15:28 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) Mone crashed :)
15:28 Phrynne welcome back, Chancellor
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sorry about that, crashed.
15:29 Thunderstone (jeffrey0thunderstone) *mine
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty. Anything asked after Thunderstone's "NO?
15:29 Phrynne no, I think
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Then, we are adjourned.
15:30 Phrynne Thank you all for coming.
15:30 Gronk Seriman Thank you, Deans!
