Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome everyone to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A |
15:00 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
sorry to hear that carl |
15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Our various roles are listed at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/admin.php |
15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, you had a few things to mention? |
15:02 |
Phrynne |
One or two. |
15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Proceed? |
15:03 |
Phrynne |
I don't know if you all are aware of it, but at Oxbridge we ban and report people whose user names are obscene, intolerant, contain reference to private body parts or are otherwise unsuitable to a General region. |
15:04 |
Phrynne |
(I'm having some lag trouble, sorry if this is slow.) |
15:05 |
Phrynne |
This past week I went through the list of parcel bans and unbanned about ten people who are no longer in Second Life becuase of having inappropriate names. |
15:05 |
Phrynne |
SL will remove people whose names are obscene, etc. |
15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And you generally AR accounts with such names? |
15:06 |
Phrynne |
When newcomers arrive with inappropriate names, I do ask them to start over with new names and a accounts. |
15:06 |
Phrynne |
Yes, I AR them |
15:06 |
Phrynne |
The names violate the TOS. |
15:07 |
Phrynne |
TAking the names off the parcel ban lists lightens the burden on each parcel and makes things rez a little quicker |
15:07 |
Phrynne |
And that's all. |
15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And makes room to ban more questionably named avatars, while waiting for LL to eliminate them. |
15:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Phyrnne, I saw your new Troll Bridge, and I got a troll to live under it. |
15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yay! |
15:08 |
Phrynne |
Oh , great, Carl! |
15:08 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz)'s ears perk up! |
15:08 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
giggles |
15:08 |
Phrynne |
we have needed one. |
15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Troll bridge? |
15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
He can eat the sharks. I'll place him after the Q&A |
15:09 |
Phrynne |
It's at teh NW corner of Oxbridge |
15:09 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Do the trolls pay a toll? |
15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
He's only 2LI |
15:09 |
Phrynne |
even better |
15:10 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
awwww he is cute |
15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've got future ideas for more specialized sharks that chat --- Oh, someone for remedial rules ....... |
15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rule breakers are food not friends. |
15:11 |
Phrynne |
will the sharks be rideable? |
15:11 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehhe! |
15:11 |
|
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) claps |
15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do we want them to be? |
15:11 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
oh yes! |
15:12 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
fun for us, terrible for evildoers |
15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Jian had some nice mesh sharks. I don't know if they are mod for scripting though. |
15:12 |
Phrynne |
The only rideable sharks I know of were in White Tiger Island years ago. |
15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I ahave some sharks that yo ucan swim with |
15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, I've got some in progress in Blender, modeled after sand sharks. |
15:13 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
as long as rowan can ride 'em, she's happy |

<grin> |
15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Oh. Way ahead of the project! |
15:15 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
it is obvious that the next evolutionary step for the shark is a dorsal seat |
15:15 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Good one, Rowan! |
15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No. Lasers on the head come first! |
15:15 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
15:15 |
ZiggyFritz |
Yesss! |
15:15 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehehe i'm patient |
15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I though avatars where supposed to evolve to sit on the dorsal fin ... no? |
15:16 |
engacia |
:) |
15:16 |
Phrynne |
No, behind it, so they can hold on |
15:16 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
so you belong to THAT school of thought |
15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
moi? |
15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I created a parody of the Damian Hirst art installation of a shark in a formaldehyde tank in SL. But mine was better because it had a laser on top! |
15:16 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
the sharks must evolve, not us |
15:17 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
or: do we evolve? and not the sharks? |
15:17 |
|
Wordsmith Jarvinen Concurs. |
15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
While I'm on it, uploaded a new version of the CAT watchtower script this morning. Unexpectedly, it saved without revision. That's the most complicated of the bunch. |
15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay!! |
15:19 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
wow, most excellent |
15:19 |
Phrynne |
What does the watchtower script do? |
15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nice work |
15:19 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Yeah! |
15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
excellent |
15:19 |
engacia |
awesome, mr jarvinen |
15:19 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
it shoots at nearby air sharks |
15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
15:19 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Puts lasers on the fronts of the CATs? |
15:19 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
and protects Caledon |
15:19 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
yes |
15:19 |
ZiggyFritz |
That's just awesome. |
15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It both rezzes and airship and (who knew?) watches over it. Get's a URL from the sim and registers it, so the ship can keep updating it's location. And, when necessary, tells the ship to go die and rezzes a new one. |
15:20 |
engacia |
wow!! |
15:21 |
|
Liška Bystrouška (liska.fuchs) thinks Caledon has jumped the shark |
15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Part of the complication is that SL is flakey about URLs, so the script needs to self-check that it's URL remains valid. |
15:22 |
|
engacia holds her head to keep it from spinning |
15:22 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
no joke |
15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Part of the problem before was that the communication between ship and watchtower would fail and the watchtower would rez another, and then another, and then ...... |
15:22 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
and so a mere script surpasses the programming that hosts it |
15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ohhhh |
15:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
SL -- in general -- works in spite of Linden Lab :) |
15:23 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehhe |
15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
Really great work, Word, thank you |
15:23 |
engacia |
:) |
15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This version will only rez a new ship if it has a valid URL and has registered that with the dynamic directory name server. |
15:25 |
RainyDayRecess |
(I hope there won't be a quiz later) |
15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, a lot is going on under cover and under the water. |
15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl, did you have more? |
15:25 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Hey folks. How about a huge hand for Wordsmith. He's put hours and hours of work into this, in addition to his other duties. |

Well, it's been slower that I'd hoped, mostly because I've been felled a bunch by allergies this year. I don't sneeze, I just fall asleep. What one gets when it rains after four years of draught. |
15:27 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
yes indeed |

Too much blood in my caffeine stream, probably. |
15:30 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
a bit bigger, and rowan could ride that, too! |
15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There they are already, Rowan. |
15:30 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
that was fast |
15:31 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
they breed very quickly |
15:31 |

Are you sure they aren't part tribble? |
15:31 |

We're in for some serious tribble. |
15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Tribbles in Armor sung to Knights without Armor? |
15:32 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
LOL |
15:32 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehehe |
15:32 |
Phrynne |
Remember, in the War of the Tribbles and the Klingons, the tribbles won. |
15:32 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
yes hahhaha |
15:32 |
ZiggyFritz |
They cheated. |
15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They know how to multiply. |
15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
So any questions from anyone? Anything about Caledon, Oxbrige, SL? |
15:33 |
ZiggyFritz |
But can they add? |
15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Any progress in finding people to fill the empty roles here in the uni |
15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Trivia question: What was the grain involved in that story? |
15:33 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
15:33 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
quadrotriticale |
15:33 |

Lol. |
15:34 |
Phrynne |
it's a real form of grain, apparently |
15:34 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
its tribble-licious |
15:34 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
yes |
15:34 |
Phrynne |
a kind of wheat |
15:34 |
Jessica Moore (jessicajmarionette) |

15:34 |
Liška Bystrouška (liska.fuchs) |
Speaking of trivia, Carl, any chance of Caledon Trivia happening again? |
15:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is a name that was made up by the writer based on the name of a real gain. |
15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triticale |
15:35 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Not anytime soon. RL sucks right now. |
15:36 |

15:36 |
Holly (hollydeni) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Any progress in finding people to fill the empty roles here in the uni? |
15:37 |
Liška Bystrouška (liska.fuchs) |
And NOT easy questions |
15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Samm sent me some suggestions on registering those who want to teach, and I'll put out a note to the larger faculty and Caledon this next week. |
15:38 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
And the Dean of engines? any prospects there? |
15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not yet, but I may be able to have Brace help with the education part ... she's offered. |
15:40 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
I love her |
15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
:) |
15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think she really likes being in a place that's positive and fun. |
15:41 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
^-^ |
15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
She could teach several different classes with minimal prep I think. |
15:41 |

brace who? |

15:42 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
would be good to see some new classes and maybe some special workshops |
15:43 |
|
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) is working on increasing her knowledge |
15:43 |
Phrynne |
What would any of you like to teach? |
15:43 |
Holly (hollydeni) |
im still in kindergarten |
15:43 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i'd like to teach a class on mesh bodies |
15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I always mention the possibility of a workshop; that everything doesn't have to be a repeating class. |
15:43 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
15:43 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
i'm researching it now |
15:44 |
engacia |
impromptu classes are always nice, too |
15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, that reminds me -- a feature in avatar complexity. |
15:44 |
engacia |

RainyDayRecess |
:D |
15:44 |
Phrynne |
As long as they don't talk... |
15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you have a mesh body and exceed someones avatar complexity, they see your nametag and that's it. |
15:45 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
hehhe that's me, miss mysterilous |
15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Apparently, the body alphas override the monocolor display. |
15:45 |
Rowan Entilles (rowan900) |
mysterious |
15:45 |
ZiggyFritz |
I've found that you can touch somebodies name, and there's an option to fully render the avatar. |
15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can right click on the nametag and select "render fully" and there they are. |
15:46 |
ZiggyFritz |
Yeah, what he said. |
15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right now, I think this is just with the LL viewer, but coming soon to FS. |
15:47 |
Phrynne |
:( |
15:47 |
Phrynne |
I would rather FS led instead of following SL |
15:47 |
Phrynne |
but it's not up to me. |
