Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A, all entities great and small. |

Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i thought she was real close to my camera |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What deans we have today. |
| 15:02 |
|
Phrynne smiles |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Our opportunity to talk about anything we've managed to accomplish and yours to ask questions or make announcement. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, have anything? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I'm continuing to update notecards for the Faculty Info Kit, which means that I travel to every landmark on any notecard to make sure it is still there and is still at whatever rating and group that I have listed. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Also writing some new notecards to summarize changes in policy since last June, and putting things in order. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
And besides that, helping people in the Plaza and elsewehre. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
That's about all for now. |
| 15:06 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
No cookies? |
| 15:06 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) puts hand over mouth. **I didn't say that outloud.** |
| 15:06 |
|
Phrynne pulls a dish of cookies out of a very deep Infinity Pocket and hands it around |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
that's all I've got for now |
| 15:07 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) stuffs a choco-chip cookie into her mouth and keeps quiet. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm still a bit knocked out by RL allergies. Working slower than I'd like on the CATs. |
| 15:07 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) giggles and snorts around her own cookie |
| 15:07 |
Jorge Serapis |
*wonders how many cookies Fidget's been offered* |
| 15:08 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) continues chomping cookies. |
| 15:08 |
|
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) prefers cake |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Went through some level of detail experiments with Rainy one night on the horse and carriage replacement. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The next morning I received a horse's head, but no offers I couldn't refuse. |
| 15:09 |
|
Phrynne is startled by the sudden appearance of a horse's head and hopes she has not somehow gotten into The Godfather |
| 15:09 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) nearly spits up a cookie at the joke. |
| 15:09 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
the horse you had the other night was very nice, Word. And I don't often say that about horses in SL. |
| 15:10 |
|
Phrynne offers the horse's head a cookie but it says neigh |
| 15:10 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
rofl |
| 15:10 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) wipes cookie spit from her screen. |
| 15:10 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) digs up his tools for horsehoes |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This head is substantially lower in triangles but appears much the same, using normal maps. |
| 15:10 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Egad, now I'm laughing so hard I'm crying and cannot read the chat. |
| 15:11 |
Jorge Serapis |
*is enjoying plantain chips but doesn';t tell anyone coz he wants them all for hisself* |
| 15:11 |
|
Phrynne offers the horse a rye cracker, which is accepted |
| 15:12 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) weighs the idea of chocolate chip cookies in one hand and deserts made out of fruit in the other and decides Jorge doesn't know what's good. |
| 15:12 |
Jorge Serapis |
If you have a 25% sore throat, does that make you a quarter hoarse? |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The captures the shaping around the eye of Rainy's hi-res model, without all the triangles. |
| 15:12 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**xnorts** |
| 15:13 |
Jorge Serapis |
Imma shut up now. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you order a half-pounder, does that mean that half the meat comes from the pound? |
| 15:13 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
euuuuuuwwww |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
Or that half of it is flatter from being pounded? |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(smiles at Señor Jorge) |
| 15:14 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**chortles** |
| 15:14 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I thought pounds were for dogs, not horses... |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
cars can be impounded |
| 15:14 |

| 15:14 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
in arizona horses can too |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anyway, we'd better open up for questions. |
| 15:15 |
Jorge Serapis |
*raises hand* |
| 15:15 |
Jorge Serapis |
(Legit question, promise.) |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
*raises eyebrows* |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But I'm getting confident that a horse and carriage will appear with a decent land impact. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Jorge? |
| 15:16 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Thanks so much for all you do, Wordsmith! |
| 15:16 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Please do not hold your horses as far as questions are concerned... |
| 15:16 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**spits up cookie** |
| 15:16 |
Jorge Serapis |
From people who've taken your scripting class... everyone's enjoyed it.. |
| 15:16 |
Jorge Serapis |
... but some were wondering if you'd be considerting a more practical sub class. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Everyone? I though I'd totally befuddled at least a few. |
| 15:17 |
Jorge Serapis |
ie to come out of the gate scripting, so to speak. Thoughts? |
| 15:17 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
That's true. I learned a lot. But gettting back to take it again is tough, because of my timing. It's a good class. |
| 15:18 |
Jorge Serapis |
I'm asking this out of my own behest, not on anyone's behalf. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm planning on reorganizing the class a fair bit and am quite open to suggestions on what people would find useful. Bear in mind some have never programmed and do require some definitions. |
| 15:19 |
Jorge Serapis |
Oh way understood. That's why I referred to it as a subset of the class. |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
Is there anywhere a list of the commands used in the scripting language? I've always found that kind of thing useful. |
| 15:19 |
Jorge Serapis |
You know, kinda like a "let' get into the kitchen and bake!" |
| 15:20 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I think the wiki has something like that, Phrynne |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There is both the LSL portal and the older wiki. The portal is up to date. For what it does have, the wiki often has more explanation. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
Might be good to mention that -- unless you already do and I wasn't paying attention. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
(which is possible; scripting is not easy for me.) |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I both mention those have and the links in a notecard in the class folder. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
great! |
| 15:21 |
|
Phrynne obviously needs to sit in on the class again, when she's awake and not cat-napping |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the portal discussion often has a link directly to the wiki discussion. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are lists both of built-in function calls and of events. |
| 15:23 |
Phrynne |
nods |
| 15:23 |
Jorge Serapis |
Just a thought for your consideration. :_) |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Both the portal and the wiki have libraries of example scripts, BTW. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods. Always useful to know what people need in a class. |
| 15:26 |
Lillith Dirval |
I got a question about LSL |
| 15:26 |
Lillith Dirval |
I got a question about LSL |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm also open to answering questions if at Oxbridge and pinged. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Lillith? |
| 15:27 |
Lillith Dirval |
Is there a way to script a boat or car so others cant click it and stop it but the owner |
| 15:27 |
Lillith Dirval |
Is there a way to script a boat or car so others cant click it and stop it but the owner |
| 15:28 |
Lillith Dirval |
its a common problem in racing others click and stop the vehicle so they can win |
| 15:28 |
Lillith Dirval |
it's a common problem in racing others click and stop the vehicle so they can win |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. In the touch_start (or equivalent event), checking if the toucher is the owner (llGetOwner == llDetectedKey(0)) |
| 15:29 |
Lillith Dirval |
nice ty |
| 15:29 |
Lillith Dirval |
nice ty |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Alternatives are to check if the toucher is in the same group as the object or to write a routine that has a list of who is authorized to control it. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Announcements? |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Confessions of confusion? |
| 15:33 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ponders admitting being confused as to which cookie to chomp next. **shakes her head** |
| 15:34 |
|
Phrynne hands around the whiskbroom and dustpan for crumbs |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The problem of decisions. |
| 15:34 |
Jorge Serapis |
Which is..? |
| 15:34 |
Jorge Serapis |
:-P |
| 15:34 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) makes a moue as she whisks up crumbs. **pffftt** |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've read that shoppers will often not buy if there are too many choices. |

AmeliaJaneClifford |
I just wanted to say what a nice community you have here. |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We try |
| 15:35 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
we have fun in our fuddish caledonian way |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, AmeliaJane. We try. |
| 15:36 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Puns are illegal here. We try to keep it civil, you understand. |
| 15:36 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
;^) |
| 15:36 |
AmeliaJaneClifford |
I have been to a couple of strange places but it feels good to be here. |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
We do not punish puns. Or punsters |
| 15:36 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
excellent! |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Caledon is such that it's hard to hold a dance without conflicting with another dance. (or a class versus dance versus library reading). |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
We like to do things and have fun. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Now, who knows where one may encounter a horses head, but ....... |
| 15:37 |
AmeliaJaneClifford |
People are very helpful here. |
| 15:37 |
[Second Life |
Pneumatic Tube Mail Box owned by OxbridgeEngineer gave you 'Changing Your Appearance' ( Caledon Oxbridge (72,126,29) ).] |

| 15:38 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
^-^ it is nice to have feedback hehe |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
no, she's not there |
| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yet |
| 15:38 |
Jorge Serapis |
Ta. |
| 15:38 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Dah? |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Caledon Motto (which I have a copy of on the wall of my small office) translates to: Civility, Tolerance, Innovation, Cake. |
| 15:39 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i just ate my cake. |
| 15:39 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**cheers cake** |
| 15:40 |
lovejoy2199 |
Offers a 'carrot cake' to the horse. |
| 15:40 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) nearly fumbles the cakes flying at her through the ethers. |
| 15:40 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
*aethers |
| 15:40 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And the cake is not a lie in this case.... |
| 15:41 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Gah! Never say cake or cookie without having your hands open AmeliaJane. **crumbles under the barrage in IMs** |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Although one may need to lie down after enough cake. |
| 15:42 |
AmeliaJaneClifford |
Haha! |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:43 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i am sated with cake |
| 15:43 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) watches to be sure she didn't sate in the frosting |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is caked upon thee? |
| 15:44 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
**xnorts** |
| 15:44 |
Phrynne |
art thou sated? |
| 15:44 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) doesn't think that's possible with cake. |
| 15:44 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
sd shall be satisfied! |
| 15:44 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is hard to get the balance right, between the different flavors. Thus requiring the addition of another small piece, rather like balancing a wheel. |
| 15:45 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehe anyone know the incidence of diabetes in Caledon? |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Photons don't count. |
| 15:46 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
It's not all it's caked up to be. |
| 15:46 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehhe that is why i'm so thin here |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Uff da! |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Tutoring is not a cakewalk... |
| 15:46 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) winks at Fidget and cheers. |
| 15:46 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehe |
| 15:46 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) grins at Dean Emeritus Fae. |
| 15:46 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
having fun is a grim task but im up to it |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And with that, I suspect we should adjourn. |
| 15:47 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
out of control silliness index |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you all for coming and caking us on. |
| 15:47 |
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) |
Thank y'all for the cookies and cake. Oh and fun, and learning. |
| 15:47 |
AmeliaJaneClifford |
Thanks and bye! |
| 15:47 |
|
Fidget (fidgetswidgets) poofs and waves. Or the other way around. |
| 15:48 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) may have to sate her a while, after eating all that |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sleep well, Elf. |

Phrynne waves to everyone |
