Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2016-09-11

15:00 Carl Metropolitan Hello
15:01 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hiya carl
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Carl.
15:01 Phrynne hello Carl
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen And Miracle of miracles, both Phrynne and Larky are returned from the PC incapacitated.
15:02 RainyDayRecess Yay!
15:02 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) **cheers for working PC's**
15:02 Phrynne And working software
15:02 Badass Fae (larkylouz) You were out, too, Phrynne? thank you Word
15:03 Carl Metropolitan Did I say "hello" when I sat down, or am I that out of it.
15:03 Phrynne I did battle with the latest version of Firestorm on both computers for a week.
15:03 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Huzzah for pirates winning the battle!
15:04 Phrynne Had to delete all my settings, so now I have to remember what they were.
15:04 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ack! ack!
15:04 Carl Metropolitan Welcome to whatever we are doing now. I'm really kind of out of it so I'm not sure. I think it has something to do with you all asking questions.
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen This triggered by FS blocking it's fourth back version.
15:05 Dar (darrwen) Hello everyone. so sorry, I'm not sure what this is about, but I saw the notice and came because I have an hour to kill. Am I supposed to be here?
15:05 Carl Metropolitan Yes. Welcome Darrwen
15:05 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) tosses gummi worms in welcome to Dar.
15:05 Dar (darrwen) Ok thank you :)
15:05 Carl Metropolitan This is the weekly Q&A with the Deans
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's a very open meeting.
15:05 Carl Metropolitan We answer your questions about Oxbridge, Caledon, and Second Life in general.
15:06 Dar (darrwen) Oh wonderful, thank you :)
15:06 Carl Metropolitan Ignore my joking about not know where I am :)
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, did you have anything despite the battles?
15:06 Phrynne Yes, a couple of things.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen (notices that Agatha has changed room polarity)
15:07 Agatha Macbeth ??
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen (from one side to the other)
15:07 Phrynne I've continued to dress the campus for fall, with a few bushes here and there. It's hard to find bushes in a good clear yellow leaf for early fall, but some of them I can tint a bit.
15:07 Agatha Macbeth Oh aye sir
15:08 Carl Metropolitan Phrynne, if you need to get rid of my old scuplty trees, feel free to.
15:08 Phrynne I am also working on the periodic overview of all parcel bans at Oxbridge -- who's banned, why, since when, and whether it's a good idea to unban them.
15:08 Phrynne No, Carl, your trees are fine.
15:08 Phrynne I haven't found anything better that I can afford.
15:08 Carl Metropolitan You know Oxbridge Mint is supposed to pay for those?
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've told her that.
15:09 Phrynne Most of what I put out are duplicates of ones that I had before I became Dean. And Oxbridge Mint has paid for one or two things. I need to send a bill for the new bushes. But the really good trees run 800-1000 L or more, and I don't see spending that at the moment.
15:10 Carl Metropolitan Okay. That makes sense
15:10 Carl Metropolitan Have you tried Dysfunctional Designs? They have some stuff that's very reasonably priced
15:10 Phrynne I hadn't tried them.
15:11 Phrynne Thing is, the technology has progressed a bit. I'd like to get more trees that are not only seasonal but move a bit. Oxbridge paid for the apple tree that is where the skating rink will be in the winter, for instance. That's one of the newer kind.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Plant's with borderline variety disorders........
15:12 Phrynne The one that hangs over the carriage drive is another -- both from Hayabusa -- but that one is one of their freebies.
15:12 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ponders her eggplant-ness and wonders if it borders.
15:12 Carl Metropolitan Okay. Sounds good.
15:12 Phrynne The ban list is divided by category -- griefers, oversexed, general mischief and so on.
15:13 Agatha Macbeth :P
15:13 Phrynne However, in the midst of the computer software problems, som eof my notecards on bans have disappeared, so I will be sending a note to tutors and deans asking if they know anything about some of the people on the list.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen General PITA's
15:14 Phrynne I have very little info on some of them -- the database we keep to organize what we know has very little also -- and I would hate to unban someone who would turn around and grief us.
15:15 Phrynne But overall we do not have a huge number of people on ban lists on the various parcels at Oxbridge.
15:15 RainyDayRecess Maybe ask them? :)
15:15 Phrynne Those who are minor pains are unbanned regularly.
15:15 Phrynne Rainy, probably not a good idea.
15:15 Carl Metropolitan Oh. I noticed that the vampires have moved on to NCI apparently.
15:15 RainyDayRecess :)
15:15 Phrynne good to know.
15:15 Carl Metropolitan And are getting an equally warm reception there.
15:15 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) .lol
15:15 Agatha Macbeth Something new to get their teeth into
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen I do keep the notecards I've been sent Phrynne (always helps if the name is in the title of the notecard)
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) sees torches and pitchforks
15:16 Phrynne though a few of their friends still show up here occasionally
15:16 Phrynne Some of the names on the list are old, pre-database.
15:16 Phrynne It's possible the accounts aren't in use now, but no way to know.
15:17 Phrynne Anyway, that is what I have been doing.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen (makes a mental note to put database management updates on his todo list)
15:18 Phrynne I have some ideas to make it work more easily -- I'll write them up and get them to you.
15:18 Agatha Macbeth applauds the pirate cat
15:19 Carl Metropolitan I think Andrea has an announcement about an upcoming Art Show that will benefit Oxbridge.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got stuff like better searches and being able to delete from the interface on my list already.
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oh not ready yet
15:20 Carl Metropolitan Okay
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl, did you have anything?
15:20 Carl Metropolitan I know someone asks this every week, so I will ask it this week, Wordsmith, how is CAT coming along?
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen I need to get back to it. Have to start mapping.
15:21 Carl Metropolitan Okay. I have nothing.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen I think there's a law of conservation of things to catch up on.
15:23 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) So there is a fundraiser event for the COU planned the 1st of October at 7. PM. It will be a Masquerade ball steampunk Victorian with DJ Poppy. The location is the art show that is being put together. Submitters needed. Please IM me and check the ISC group for a notice with details.
15:24 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) And a Irsih dance at the pub in the Village, see isc group and Caledonian nights group for a notice with details.
15:24 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Oops Irish
15:24 Dar (darrwen) That sounds fun.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Which implies Irish music.
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) renee is on board so hopefully we will have some our photography calss involved
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) *class
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) It shold be noted that today is Samm Florians rezzday 6 years
15:25 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Whoo Hoo!
15:25 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) **cheers for Sam** Yay builder Sam!
15:26 Phrynne hurray!!!
15:26 Agatha Macbeth applauds
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen She keeps that up and she'll have more rezdays than she is old.
15:26 RainyDayRecess YaaaaY!!!
15:26 Badass Fae (larkylouz) She's not here!
15:26 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I was thinking the same, Wordsmith.
15:26 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and thanks to wordsmith and rainey here. the public swimming pool is coming along nicely in the village/
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen She doesn't have to be here. She can read the transcript later.
15:27 Badass Fae (larkylouz) True
15:27 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Swimming? nice!
15:27 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I hope it iw warm, for the winter months.
15:27 Badass Fae (larkylouz) is a wimp
15:27 Carl Metropolitan We had a strangly cool summer here in Texas
15:28 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) No strangles.
15:28 SecondGoldy hello all.Sorry I am late
15:28 Carl Metropolitan May just be local.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan Hello Second
15:28 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) hides her gummi worms from the strangles.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, I'm modeling it roughly after the historic Santa Cruz Natatorium (aka The Plunge). That opened about 1906. The heated the ocean water up to 85 deg F.
15:28 Carl Metropolitan Okay. We are open for questions. (I think).
15:29 SecondGoldy i'll sit as soon as the bench rezzes.I am a lil Laggy today
15:29 Agatha Macbeth These benches always seem difficult to sit on...
15:29 SecondGoldy do i need to enable voice?
15:30 Phrynne no, we manage in text here
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen No, we're doing it all in chat.
15:30 SecondGoldy i think its just me agatha.
15:30 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ::grins at Agatha:: I got sitting on the bench right the 1st time today! Not like my first time where I nearly gave up.
15:31 Carl Metropolitan I think most of us dont' even have voice turned on.
15:31 Carl Metropolitan Any questions?
15:31 Dar (darrwen) None from me, just listening.
15:32 SecondGoldy same here.
15:32 Agatha Macbeth There seem to be a lot of events in caledon next two weeks
15:32 Agatha Macbeth C*
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Caledon is so inherently social that events have been colliding.
15:33 Agatha Macbeth Oh my
15:33 Phrynne We try not to be boring.
15:33 Carl Metropolitan That's normal.
15:33 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Even now, Q&A versus live hammered dulcimer
15:34 Dar (darrwen) I don't get out much due to classes and studies, but it would be nice to come to something here at some point.
15:34 Phrynne vs the Tea Dance at the Bashful Peacock
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen So 3 concurrent events.
15:34 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) I'm missing out on Live Hammered Dulcimer? pffft! ::chomps a gummi worm to make up for it::
15:35 Phrynne yes, a concert at the Renaissance Faire by Earl Ghostraven. He's very good.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen [15:28] Nyree Rain: We have about a half hour more of music at Earl's concert. Come join us at the Renaissance Faire to hear hammered dulcimer played live! Mieville Shelley (222,187,22)
15:35 Dar (darrwen) that sounds fun.
15:35 Phrynne Live concert, btw, not recorded.
15:35 Dar (darrwen) Oh nice.
15:35 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ::sigh:: And I thought I was being good, by logging on to be here. Well ... darn! Maybe he'll play elsewhere and I'll catch it!
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen You will be forgiven if you run off to that (although we might pout)
15:36 Phrynne He plays inworld two or three times a year, I think.
15:36 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) That would be wrong, and I'd get lost. ::sigh:: I'll watch for his name.
15:36 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) makes a mark in the transcript to find it ******
15:37 Carl Metropolitan Is there anything we can help anyone with? Any questions we can answer?
15:37 Dar (darrwen) yes, what happened to all the gummy bears.. (Just kidding)
15:38 RainyDayRecess :)
15:38 SecondGoldy well i couldnt add someone to my friendlist today.Kinda why i got late too
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Things you want to see or do?
15:38 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Carriages?
15:38 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) stands up and pireouttes (spelling) to show off the 4 (count 'em 4) gummi worms in her maw.
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Linden Lab implemented the gummy bears as avatars, Dar.
15:38 Dar (darrwen) heheh
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Now called Jelly dolls.
15:39 Dar (darrwen) yum
15:39 Agatha Macbeth If they grief you just eat them...
15:39 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) ::chomps::
15:39 Dar (darrwen) hehe
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen Looks like a short meeting today.
15:40 Carl Metropolitan If that happens, try logging out and logging back in. That often fixes such problems with Friends lists.
15:40 Carl Metropolitan I had the same thing happen to me recently.
15:40 SecondGoldy it's happened before.I still cant add that person after over 3 weeks
15:41 Wordsmith Jarvinen Still working on the carriages. Partly texturing the horses.
15:41 RainyDayRecess Yes, that's taking me the longest :(
15:42 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) There has been reports of system not recognizing that friends are inworld...
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen You're sure the person hasn't blocked you?
15:42 SecondGoldy nope, i cant add even if i get a request from'em
15:42 Dar (darrwen) wow
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen Or just isn't responding to a friend request.?
15:42 Agatha Macbeth Odd that
15:43 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) file a jira?
15:43 Dar (darrwen) Even with different viewers?
15:43 SecondGoldy with FS group?
15:43 SecondGoldy is there are LL support for non premium members
15:43 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Sure, if it's the FS viewer, or go to FSE chat group.
15:43 Carl Metropolitan No, there is not.
15:43 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) But you can file a jira with LL for the SL viewer too.
15:43 Dar (darrwen) I had that problem before and it was the viewer and I had to redo it.
15:44 SecondGoldy they couldnt help in FS chat group
15:44 Carl Metropolitan You could try the LL viewer to see if the problem is in that viewer too
15:44 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) nods
15:44 Carl Metropolitan And if it is, you know it is a server problem.
15:44 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Or try Singularity and see if it happens with that viewer.
15:45 SecondGoldy ok but others i can add it's just one person and than today.
15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Sometimes problems are account-specific for some reason
15:45 SecondGoldy ok
15:45 SecondGoldy well i'll try another viewer. ty guys
15:45 SecondGoldy and lady.
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen With the LL viewer, LL is more likely to consider it as their problem to solve.
15:46 SecondGoldy ok
15:47 Dar (darrwen) Seems like after to decided to let go of the premium membership, it seems like things keeps going wrong.. maybe it's just my imagination...heheh. I wonder....
15:47 SecondGoldy how do you file LL jira?
15:47 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) dangles a gummi worm into her nearly empty cocoa cup.
15:47 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) Gah, I don't remember SecondGoldy, and I don't have my LL avatar up.
15:47 Carl Metropolitan It is probably not that.
15:47 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) hangs head in shame.
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen The viewer under help has a "support portal", likely just a link to the SL webpage.
15:48 SecondGoldy no worries.i'll just google it and call me goldy,everyone does
15:48 Fidget (fidgetswidgets) I'll forget, but I'll try! Thanks goldy!
15:49 SecondGoldy :)
15:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else?
15:49 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Fidget (fidgetswidgets) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
