14:59 Gronk Seriman Carl! You are here! I hope that meand good things in SL and RL.
14:59 Gronk Seriman *means
15:01 Carl Metropolitan Yes. Things are looking up all over.
15:01 Carl Metropolitan I'm going to get back to doing some fundraising next week.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen hmmm No sign of Lindal. I'll give her a couple more minutes.
15:02 Gronk Seriman Great to hear.
15:02 Carl Metropolitan And talk to Word and Phrynne about bringing on another dean.
15:02 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) I hope the power is not out again....
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen One of those imported sports model deans?
15:03 Phrynne Manual or automatic?
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't know yet.
15:03 The Fox (wolfhunter5) :|
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome all to the Oxbridge Deans' Question and Answer session. Our chance to tell you whatever news we know and your's to ask questions on Oxbridge, SL, and beyond.
15:04 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) gets a text message from James Dean but does not understand the characters in the message body
15:05 Carl Metropolitan That may be because the afterlife does not fully support unicode.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen I do have the admin page updated. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/admin.php
15:05 Carl Metropolitan Thank you.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phyrnne, do you have anything from Commons (including from Tasha)?
15:07 Phrynne I hear that winter is ending soon -- though, as in RL, nobody knows the time or date. But with that in mind, if you like to ice skate, or would like a pair of those nifty free skates that are in the shelter by the pond, please do take advantage of it this week. Once spring has started, the pond will vanish and I will be redecorating.
15:08 Phrynne and no, I have no idea what will be where yet, but I hope to keep Oxbridge beautiful.
15:08 Phrynne That's all for me today
15:08 Carl Metropolitan I have nothing much either.
15:08 SAULGOODiE eagerly waits the coming of spring
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl, any news or projects you've got today?
15:10 Carl Metropolitan I am afraid I do not.
15:10 Carl Metropolitan I do want everyone to be sure to come to the Anniversary Party Tuesday night
15:10 Carl Metropolitan I'm skipping a live RPG session to attend :)
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Have you gotten some pictures to Andrea?
15:11 Carl Metropolitan Tons
15:11 Carl Metropolitan I sent her three folder with all I could find.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes got them
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) they were very useful
15:11 Carl Metropolitan Did you give her permission to take any she needed off the website?
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Wow! That's great. I managed to find her a couple pictures with the flying Gargoyles we once had.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen I didn't, but she didn't ask either. But she can.
15:13 Carl Metropolitan You just have some nice shots there on the headers.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, did you have more on the party to say?
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'm trying to get in touch with Poppy to set up a earlty dance
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen I can give any of those she wants to here. Four headers.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so tose that wn can come eaelier inthe day
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) sigh
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I will send out a notice as soon as i know
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen A Euro-time dance.
15:14 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nods
15:14 Carl Metropolitan This is one that appears on the destination guide for us:
15:14 Carl Metropolitan http://lecs-destinations-secondlife-com.s3.amazonaws.com/new/destinations/en/_img/fullsize/1974.jpg
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I have several freebies out now. If anyone wants to donate a freebie for the anniversery ball. please im me
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) somwething in theme with th cou
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen I loved that bridge Carl. Used to hang out on it once upon a time.
15:16 Carl Metropolitan I miss that too
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen On the website and headers, four of them (headers) loaded randomly. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/
15:16 Carl Metropolitan A lot of great stuff is no longer in SL
15:17 Carl Metropolitan Especially in Caledon
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Caledon used to have an output in Al Andalus, which had the greatest library. Unfortunately gone.
15:17 Carl Metropolitan I miss the Gaity Theatre, the Cavorite Mines, the old Steam Sky City,
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've not much visible this week. Working on the CAT scripts. Scoping out a HUD that would help locating to points of interest on the Oxbridge sim.
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Sounds good. something to allow in sim tleport then?
15:19 Gronk Seriman Ooo! Nice!
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen A HUD that would have a list of pictures with labels. Choose one, press go, and it would rez a hoverboard (i.e. local TP) to take you there.
15:21 SAULGOODiE awesome stuff!
15:21 Gronk Seriman These would be available in the stations, or while riding?
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Could have dispensers and/or have the tutors given them out.
15:22 Phrynne Dispensers would be good, I think
15:22 Phrynne simply because we are not always there 24 hours a dya
15:23 Phrynne *day
15:23 Gronk Seriman ...and if the dispensers are in the stations, at least the person made it there.
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen There, an enlarged prototype on the back wall.
15:25 COU TP HUD You touched my face Forward Button
15:25 COU TP HUD You touched my face Forward Button
15:25 COU TP HUD You touched my face Back Button
15:25 COU TP HUD You touched my face Back Button
15:25 Carl Metropolitan Have you already done all the photos for that system?
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Buttons don't do anything yet.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not all. Some
15:26 Gronk Seriman This will be a HUD somewhere wears. or a Nearby Points of Interest sign in the stations?
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen But those are changable.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Planned as a worn HUD.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, once they have it, they can come back and go to a particular tutorial building, for example.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Without having to run through the ones before.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen What you see is mesh. One piece.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan I may have some you could use already
15:28 Carl Metropolitan Let me check
15:28 Gronk Seriman Ah! You could fundraise by making the front steps of stores part of the list, too.
15:29 Gronk Seriman /smiles
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen A slight change from a local TP to one that uses the system TP.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Particularly since there's now a scripting call that will TP an objects owner.
15:31 Gronk Seriman I'm confused. The are Points of Interest in Oxbridge, or Caledon in general?
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen For this one, Oxbridge.
15:31 Gronk Seriman Ah.
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen But Caledon in general would require just minor script modifications, plus pictures and LMs.
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Of course, the tartan should also be changed. ;)
15:33 Gronk Seriman I understand now. This is not related to CATS. This is a separate project. I had the two glomed together in my mind.
15:33 Carl Metropolitan Isn't that the Caledon tartan, too?
15:33 Carl Metropolitan Or does Oxbridge have a variant of it?
15:33 Phrynne Caledon's tartan is a bit more showy
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen No, Aeval Luna asked about scripting a TP HUD. That got me thinking (which is dangerous).
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's the Oxbridge Tartan. Slight different than the Caledon tartan.
15:35 Carl Metropolitan Can I have a copy of the Oxbridge Tartan texture?
15:35 Carl Metropolitan I always just used the Caledon Tartan.
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yep. I've got the two up on the HUD for comparison.
15:37 [Second Life Items successfully shared.]
15:37 Carl Metropolitan Thank you.
15:37 Carl Metropolitan I am fashion impaired, I guess. I never realized
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Guess I had more to show than I thought. ;)
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Good time to open up for questions in general.
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen I only realized when Phrynne gave me the COU one for the COLT (Caledon Oxbridge Little Testship)
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, the other scripts I'm working on are the conversion of schedule generation to Tali's new server.
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen And Cymbal has asked for some updates to the loop-rez script to make it easier to reset on mistakes.
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen (skirt-making class)
15:44 Wordsmith Jarvinen No questions?
15:44 The Fox (wolfhunter5) i think everyone's just bored...
15:44 Gronk Seriman Where are we now in the meshification of the Campus?
15:44 Wordsmith Jarvinen (A prompt for deans to tell bad puns, read Vogon poetry, or roll our own?)
15:44 Carl Metropolitan That is up to Ravielli
15:45 Carl Metropolitan I have new halls to put out, though.
15:45 Carl Metropolitan Just replacements for the mesh ones we had that have been slightly improved.
15:45 Carl Metropolitan He's working on a new cathedral, train station, and Hall of Caledon
15:46 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) catedral?
15:46 Carl Metropolitan We've recently updated the mesh areas under the towers on the tutorial path
15:46 Carl Metropolitan The entrance building.
15:46 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ah
15:46 Gronk Seriman Have we gained enough prims to have the gargoyles back?
15:46 Carl Metropolitan I call it the Cathedral because of the flying buttresses
15:46 Carl Metropolitan how many prims are the gargoyles? And who owns them?
15:46 lovejoy2199 Train Station???
15:47 Gronk Seriman I only barely remember them.
15:47 Wordsmith Jarvinen Likely Martini, and likely high prim. But they could be redone as mesh.
15:47 Phrynne In one other matter, I did want to remind everyone that the Anniversary celebrations include a costume competition -- based on anything you can find at Oxbridge. Let's see how creative you can be...
15:48 Gronk Seriman That bib building where the trains stops. Full of freebies....
15:48 Carl Metropolitan Phynne is working on freebie reworking.
15:48 Carl Metropolitan Its a big job she does in her limited free time
15:48 lovejoy2199 I thought maybe a platform.
15:48 Phrynne I am starting to put out some newer freebies, as I have opportunity.
15:48 Carl Metropolitan That building is the "Train Station" and is being recreated in mesh by Ravelli
15:48 SAULGOODiE bows
15:51 Gronk Seriman I always thought the historic freebie cupola would be nice IN the train station, so all the freebies could be together. I guess it can't be moved or touched. Too historic.
15:52 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's a picture I had of one of the Gargoyles flying -- with an avatar upside down in it's mouth.
15:52 Carl Metropolitan It can be moved, but the freebies for the most part can't be.
15:53 Carl Metropolitan They were put out by people who wanted to give them, and we don't have move rights.
15:53 Carl Metropolitan Some will never be able to be moved.
15:53 Carl Metropolitan Some the creators can be contacted on.
15:53 Phrynne The majority of the freebies were put in place by their creators. Nobody but the creators can move them.
15:53 Phrynne And many of the creators are seldom inworld now.
15:53 Gronk Seriman So it stays, then.
15:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen It looks better for the freebies to rest upon something.
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else?
15:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Then let's adjourn.
15:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sleep well, Elf. ;)
15:57 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:57 Gronk Seriman Ni-night, EB
15:57 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Be seeing you
15:58 Carl Metropolitan Goodnight everyone.
