15:07 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I'll whap you with my purse if you don't follow the recipe!
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen It would likely take something in the coookies for her not to.

15:10 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) ^-^
15:10 Phrynne I've also been helping new people on campus and more experienced SL folks who are looking for something and can't find it.
15:11 Phrynne That's about it for now.

15:16 Brace Coral Aggers! lool
15:16 Aggers (agatha.macbeth) Hot stuff that girl
15:17 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) if you can''t stand the heat in the kitchen, for godssake get off the stake
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen And did you happen to notice receiving some stats on the sponsor boards?
15:17 Brace Coral not at all.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen You did. Check email last week.
15:17 Brace Coral I'll do that!
15:18 Brace Coral eyes her email box with suspicion
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl?
15:18 COU Coffee Mug whispers mmmmm... hot coffee.
15:19 Jorge Serapis ... you can cut the suspense with a knife....
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't recommend doing that on a bridge.
15:20 Carl Metropolitan Yes. I was on a work related phone call. I'm sorry. I have not had a break much lately.
15:20 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) nothing works better than a ginsu, for cutting suspense
15:20 Carl Metropolitan What was your question?
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just if you had anything to mention.
15:21 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) .
15:21 Badass Fae (larkylouz) looks around for Gram. "That man needs a hot toddy!"
15:21 Carl Metropolitan No. I don't. I'm sorry
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's okay, Carl. thanks.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Jorge, I did get a chance to look at the French examples.
15:23 Jorge Serapis Oui? C'est bien?
15:23 Brace Coral yayyyy FOUND that email
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Gram walked outside without a chute.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen The Crimson Text looks fine. The Garamond makes everything longer. The Lightfoot is Ugh, the Juno is fine except for the bold, which has the counters closed.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, if she only weighs a Gram, she'll be fine.
15:24 RainyDayRecess Hahahaha
15:24 Brace Coral oh dear lool
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'll let you report on from there, Senor Jorge.
15:25 Jorge Serapis The Spanish translations are pretty much at the halfwy mark. I have 4.06 up on the board at the moment. I should be finished with the within two weeks if not sooner.
15:25 Carl Metropolitan There is a Garamond condensed text
15:25 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Klinzhai?
15:25 Carl Metropolitan Let me see if I still have that font.
15:25 Jorge Serapis This week i've only been able to put in 14 hours to them, so cumulatively it's 48 hours in total.
15:25 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) (Klingon font :-) )
15:25 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) gesundheit, elf
15:26 Jorge Serapis The 1.XX text has been sent off for Portugese and French translations, so waiting on those.
15:26 Jorge Serapis That's pretty much that.
15:26 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) there is a lot in that
15:26 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I am so impressed and grateful, Jorge & Phrynne. Thank you!
15:27 Jorge Serapis Welcome.
15:27 Phrynne Jorge is doing the work; I am scanning for occasional typos, which are very occasional.
15:28 Brace Coral teamwork :)
15:28 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I know you've done graphics work, too.
15:28 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Thanks Brace. Yes!
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oxbridge is a team.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan I don't have garamond condensed. I'm not surprised. I last used it four computers ago.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan Let me look for it.
15:28 Jorge Serapis Well, it's kindasorta been needed... as some of the tutorials include action windows...
15:28 Jorge Serapis .. so it makes sense to substitute the alternate language window in the texture.
15:29 Jorge Serapis I did find something intriguing, though. Even though the top layer menu is in an alternate language (I have my default viewer set for Spanish), once you get into the submenus...
15:29 Jorge Serapis .. about half of them are in English.
15:30 Carl Metropolitan http://www.fontpalace.com/search.php?q=Garamond+Condensed&search_bt=search
15:30 Carl Metropolitan Try downloading those
15:30 Phrynne in the Spanish SL viewer?
15:30 Carl Metropolitan It's Garamond Condensed in all the various font styles.
15:30 Jorge Serapis Yes, Phrynne.
15:30 Phrynne amazing
15:31 Jorge Serapis It tends to be hit and miss, so I'm wondering if LL just put a translation function in the viewer instead of rewriting all the menus.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, not a consistent implementation of non-English in the viewer.
15:32 Jorge Serapis Not thoroughly.
15:32 Brace Coral Samm :))
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yay! Tis Samm
15:32 Brace Coral Yay!
15:32 Jorge Serapis As you've seen in the textures I've sent, I decided to use English words for some of the more general tools in the viewer...
15:32 Samm Florian Hi evrybuddy!
15:33 Jorge Serapis .. ie instead of "barra de herramientos", I just use "toolbar".
15:33 Carl Metropolitan That makes sense. People who use computers will probably understand that.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nods.
15:34 Jorge Serapis I'm also using court Spanish, the most formal version of the language.
15:34 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) So Charles V would understand it too!
15:34 Brace Coral nice :)
15:34 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Castilian?
15:34 Jorge Serapis It should be universal enough for all Spanish (Castilian) speakers.
15:34 Jorge Serapis Yes, EBS.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen Good. Fewer regional idiomatic or slang expressions.
15:35 Badass Fae (larkylouz) ah, ok
15:35 Jorge Serapis Indeed.
15:35 Carl Metropolitan How different is that from the spanish spoken in Mexico, Central, and South America (minus Brazil of course)
15:36 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) (The Holy Roman Emperor can understand it)
15:36 Jorge Serapis Caribbean Spanish (Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico) is surisingly closest to the original and purest form of Spanish...
15:36 Jorge Serapis ... Columbia and Argentia are a close second.
15:37 Jorge Serapis Most Central and SA Spanish speaking countries have tended to form their own versions of words independent of the Royal Academy.
15:37 Carl Metropolitan So it is the form that the highest percentage of spanish speakers could understand?
15:37 Jorge Serapis Yes. It would the Spanish they've learned in their schooling.
15:38 Carl Metropolitan Cool.
15:38 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) takes some interesting notes
15:38 Brace Coral that's awesome :)
15:38 Jorge Serapis It takes a bit of dusty mind lessons and some Google Translate to double check.
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen And an extraordinary contribution to extending those we can help.
15:39 Brace Coral yesh
15:39 lovejoy2199 How would that compare with English spoken in the US with that in GB?
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Samm, hast thee anything?
15:39 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) formal english in both?
15:40 Jorge Serapis Actually, the English spoken in the US, along the mid Atlantic states, is closest to Imperial English during the 1700s. The Received Standard English accent only came about starting in the mid 1800s in the UK.
15:40 Brace Coral is taking interesting notes too :)
15:40 Samm Florian Not really, no.
15:41 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) ^-^
15:41 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) is loving it
15:41 Jorge Serapis Please correct me, Samm. Always love getting it right.
15:41 Samm Florian Oh no, I was talkin' to Word, not you. :D
15:41 Samm Florian Sorry.
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other than Samm, to my knowledge is planning on a sabattical and we'll be looking toward a replacement for teaching Basic Buillding..
15:42 Jorge Serapis Ah,my apologies then.
15:42 Samm Florian True! I've got somebuddy who's thinkin' 'bout it.
15:42 Brace Coral how basic?
15:42 Samm Florian Rezzin', movin', rotatin', stretchin', texturin', and linkin'.
15:42 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) ^-^
15:43 Badass Fae (larkylouz) G!
15:43 Badass Fae (larkylouz) ;^)
15:43 Samm Florian Startin' from a "never opened the build window before" level.
15:43 Brace Coral ahh ok :)
15:43 Brace Coral I'm good at teaching never rezzed a prim oh hey what is a prim type building
15:43 Samm Florian Though most folks will say "I never built nuthin' but I've arranged furniture in my house"
15:43 Samm Florian Which IS BUILDING!
15:43 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'd say "hard shoes to fill", but she's often not in shoes.
15:44 Brace Coral lol
15:44 RainyDayRecess :D
15:44 Brace Coral I get misty eyed seeing folks rez their first prim :)
15:44 Brace Coral whips out a LARGE hanky and dabs at her eyes
15:45 Samm Florian My typist's startin' a new job, and she needs some time off.
15:45 Brace Coral time off = GOOD
15:45 Carl Metropolitan Most people don't think of a lot of what is building as building. Just teaching people how to align furniture on a N/S E/W axis so everything is at the same angle can make a huge difference in the look of a home.
15:45 Brace Coral nods
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've mostly been doing maintenance. Backing up the disciplinary event database from the website, pushing class statistics and Q&A data up to a bit-bucket backup.
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen Larky, ye have anything?
15:46 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) i used to drive a bit-bucket backup in the 70s
15:46 RainyDayRecess Hahaha
15:47 Phrynne I drove a slush-bucket but it had terrible brakes.
15:47 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, open for questions, before we run out of time.
15:47 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Just the usual routine of keeping Mr. Finn Still in line, helping new folks and a bit of paperwork here and there. Nothing of note occurs to me.
15:47 Badass Fae (larkylouz) brandishes her cane to keep in practice
15:47 Brace Coral gASPS!
15:48 Brace Coral hehehe
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Pure can sugar, that one is.
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen cane sugar
15:48 Brace Coral mmmm sugar cane...
15:49 Badass Fae (larkylouz) You watch yer step, Mr Dean Assistant Chancellor Scripter sir!
15:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Question on Oxbridge, SL, or beyond?
15:49 Brace Coral Gran Fight!
15:49 Rowan Entilles (rowan900) hahha
15:49 Brace Coral nooo questions at all?
15:49 Phrynne what's in those cookies?
15:49 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) rasies hand for event
15:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?

15:50 Badass Fae (larkylouz) grins

15:54 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) interested

15:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Looking at a swimming pool where the memorial pool was
15:56 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) a 1024 parcel
15:56 Carl Metropolitan did the memorial pool move?
15:56 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It was pulleda t the end of the season
15:56 Jorge Serapis Andrea, I think there's a build on the lovetodecorateSL site that was featuered that might be perfect for you.

15:57 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yes and no
15:57 Carl Metropolitan I may have been confusing it with the memorial park.
15:57 Brace Coral wow that's gorgie!
