Good afternoon, Vicerine. Nice to see you again. |

Good afternoon, Your Lioness |

I wish that I could get pretty dresses. |
| 14:54 |
Gronk Seriman |
Doris, have you taken the free dresses from the Orientation? |
| 14:54 |
Phrynne |
There are all sorts of clothes in SL -- a lot of it is looking for them, and finding what you can afford. |
| 14:54 |
DorisE1 |
No I do not know where they are. |
| 14:54 |
Phrynne |
And finding freebies. |
| 14:55 |
DorisE1 |
I do not have L$. |
| 14:55 |
DorisE1 |
I am poor. |
| 14:55 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And taking part of Hunts |
| 14:55 |
DorisE1 |
No money at all. |
| 14:55 |
Phrynne |
You might want to go to the Smart Shopping class we have -- it tells you how to find freebies. |
| 14:55 |
DorisE1 |
idk |
| 14:56 |
Phrynne |
It is possible to live in SL without money, if you are good at searching and look for bargains. But we can talk about it afterward. |
| 14:56 |
Phrynne |
I do recommend the class. |
| 14:56 |
DorisE1 |
Thank you. |
| 14:57 |
Gronk Seriman |
There is also a slew of free avatars in your Inventory already, at the bottom in the Library tab. Some of thiose clothes are swipeagle. |
| 14:57 |
Gronk Seriman |
*swipeable |
| 14:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or swapable. |
| 14:58 |
Gronk Seriman |
That too. |
| 14:58 |
DorisE1 |
I mess up bad at times. |
| 14:58 |
Phrynne |
We all do, starting out. |
| 14:59 |
|
Kamilah Hauptmann has been here over ten years and deleted my skybox out from undermyself last night. |
| 14:59 |
Phrynne |
ow |
| 14:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And several professors have deleted the lecture hall along the way. |
| 15:00 |
Kamilah Hauptmann |
In SL, we call that 'comedy'. |
| 15:00 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There has been cases of dance floor being deleted during the dance... |
| 15:00 |
Phrynne |
Or the back half of the entry hall and the road outside it |
| 15:00 |
|
Kiki Delivers (kikixpress) looks down mishievously and checks permissions. |
| 15:00 |
DorisE1 |
The floor eek. |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And some have specialized in dressing room floor returns.... |
| 15:01 |
Phrynne |
Or everything but the floor. |
| 15:01 |
DorisE1 |
The floor down stairs is bad. |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
To mesh up is human, to re-rez divine. |
| 15:01 |
Kamilah Hauptmann |

| 15:02 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And there was that one lecture hall return.. |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
two. |
| 15:03 |
DorisE1 |
Is there anyway to change the floors tomake thembetter? |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Carl just rezzed. |
| 15:03 |
DorisE1 |
oops to make them better. |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
hello Carl! |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not easily, I think on the floors. |
| 15:04 |

Hello Chancellor |
| 15:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi. Running a bit late today. My apologies. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But we're officially started. |
| 15:04 |
DorisE1 |
Is there another location to have the classes? |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The two lecture halls. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, do you have anything (and welcome back) |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
? |
| 15:06 |
DorisE1 |
Nobody should be having issues during classes. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I have a somewhat unofficial report from RL: because it is now officially fall, the cat is very upset. She doesn't like to walk on fallen leaves; she doesn't like the way they crunch underfoot. So she either hopscotches around them or mutters under her breath as she runs around the back yard. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I suspect if she continues to do that I may acquire a new vocabulary of cat swear words. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And that's all. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
While some cats like to hide under leaves. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl? |
| 15:08 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I was buried in RL work last week and had little time to be on here, so I have nothing to report other than RL sucks sometimes. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's partly why we have SL as a respite. |
| 15:09 |
DorisE1 |
What can be done a? |
| 15:09 |
DorisE1 |
oops about the floors? |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In a minute, Doris. |
| 15:09 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) would have been happier without RL matters... |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Latest I've heard on the CATS, is that they may be running within a couple of weeks. |
| 15:10 |
DorisE1 |
What I was talking about is these sl floors. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
that's wonderful, Word! |
| 15:11 |
Gronk Seriman |
Great news! |
| 15:11 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Splendid |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
They appear to have routes planned out. http://www.fantasy-designers.de/Caledon/CAT_Routing_New5.jpg |
| 15:11 |
Kiki Delivers (kikixpress) |
CATS = Caledon Air Transport Stuff? |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
yes! Caledon's airship fleet |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, along with submarines. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
We're getting the subs back too? Ooooooh! |
| 15:12 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Do we have the prims to become a stop on the route? |
| 15:12 |
|
Kiki Delivers (kikixpress) holds breath |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The other thing I realized, and it will take some implementation work, is that what we did with the multi-language kiosks is also a solution for another problem. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Multi-location scheduling. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In other words, adding buttons to the bottom of the schedule kiosks, for main hall, base-jump hall (this), salsa venue. |
| 15:16 |
|
Phrynne wonders if the salsa venue comes with chips |
| 15:16 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) wonders what dance balls salsa venue has |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
hmmm Thought I had a textured prototype in inventory |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Wordsmith, how many prims does it take free to become a stop on the route of one of the airships? |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It should run 32 prims or less, since the CATS are prim-based and use the old accounting. |
| 15:18 |
Phrynne |
That doesn't include the docking platform, I think. |
| 15:19 |
DorisE1 |
Is there any apartments avaible? |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Since there is no Oxbridge Village stop on that map, Andrea asked me if the COLT route could be extended to village and stop there. |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
How many prims for a docking platform? Is there a standard design? Or can one be built to specs? |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
COLT route? Is that the red one? |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which is a good possibility and doesn't need a large platform. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's the one going around Oxbridge right now. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
two-seater. |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I see |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
The Oxbridge Village CAT station was taken down ... last month? |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
I think the nearest on is SSC |
| 15:20 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Is there any reason we can't have a stop in Oxbridge for the Sumie K red line? |
| 15:20 |
DorisE1 |
How come I am not getting questions answered? |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
*one |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Because we haven't gotten to that part of the meeting, Doris. |
| 15:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have been answering your question in IM, Doris. If you have another one, do you mind waiting a bit? |
| 15:21 |
DorisE1 |
I will wait. |
| 15:21 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It would require a raised platform, Carl. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But that would be a question for Jorge. |
| 15:22 |
DorisE1 |
We had some visitors today in class and theu were cute butterflies. |
| 15:23 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Okay. I will ask him. I know a good place for one. |
| 15:24 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I've always wanted airships landing here :) |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It fits the mood. |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
For the record, at the moment we have something close to 699 free prims in Oxbridge. |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
When I decorate for the seasons or change decorations, I try to juggle them to keep 700 prims or so open. |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
That's why you may see some trees disappear and return |
| 15:25 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yes that is always tough |
| 15:25 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
I used to have to do that and I hated it.. better you than I |
| 15:25 |
DorisE1 |
I can make prettypictures. |
| 15:25 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But if you need help Phrynne let me know |
| 15:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will try to keep it low. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
I will, Cymbal |
| 15:26 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Is it time for questions now? |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Seems so. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Doris has been having problems rezzing in the lecture hall. Phrynne has had trouble with the stage up here. |
| 15:27 |
DorisE1 |
How come I do not have as many issues with building in other places like I do here? |
| 15:28 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The issues you have in each lecture hall could be different because the land is owned by different groups, too. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've noted that the stages here and down below rez or don't rez depending on the angle you try to rez at. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The more vertical the angle, the more likely the rez is successful. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, and it may be viewer dependent, SL is a bit funky when it comes to rezzing things on some mesh surfaces. |
| 15:30 |
DorisE1 |
Well the teachers should know this because I have got spoken to and accused of goofing off in class when I was not goofing off. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It may also depend if the physical shape was directly using a mesh or was decomposed into convex hulls. |
| 15:30 |
DorisE1 |
What is covex hull? |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've already told you I'll put out a notice, Doris. |
| 15:30 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
I have people aim towards the posing stand in order to rez items in the classroom because otherwise people have difficulties |
| 15:31 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
So I use posing stands in my class. If people aim to that when they rez normally (not always) they do not have problems |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You could also rez a "rezzing prim" on the floor or ask them to rez on the benches. |
| 15:31 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
That is a good suggestion |
| 15:32 |
DorisE1 |
Well Evil I had issues in your class today. |
| 15:32 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Yes Doris. I remember that you did. |
| 15:32 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Also, sometimes, SL just plain does not work right. |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
I believe it's Samm that uses a flat floor in her lectures. Would tthat help in classes that involve rezzing thi8ngs? |
| 15:33 |
Carl Metropolitan |
If you find that happening to you, the best bet is to relog. |
| 15:33 |
DorisE1 |
I was doing what was said but it did not work. |
| 15:33 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
But thus far Doris and perhaps one other student has had issues over all of the classes so it is not often |
| 15:34 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
Things do happen in SL though where you just can't apply a quick fix. Just have to be patient with these things. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I run into that with the stages, which are flat. I think it's how the viewer sees that physical shape of the mesh. |
| 15:34 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will help you with this after the Q&A and see if we can replicate your problem and work through some solutions. |
| 15:35 |
DorisE1 |
For me it is hard when I follow directions and it does not work. I get frustrated because I do not know if it is me or something else. |
| 15:37 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We will look at if after the Q&A. Let's move on to other questions that we know the answers to now. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are workarounds for now and Ravelli might also be able to change the floor treatment. |
| 15:37 |
DorisE1 |
I have a learning disability and I do the best that I can. |

"Welcome to Second Life! More flakes than Kellog's, more bugs than Orkin." |

O-O |
| 15:38 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) still remember what purpose the corn flakes were originally made for... |
| 15:39 |
DorisE1 |
I do not want anybodey to think that I am stupid. |
| 15:39 |
DorisE1 |
oops anybody |
| 15:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Everyone in SL has had rezzing issues from time to time. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I think most people can relate to how it took some time to get accustomed to SL. |
| 15:39 |
DorisE1 |
I think it was sl. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Announcements? |
| 15:40 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
yes you just have to allow some quirky things from time to time |
| 15:40 |
Gronk Seriman |
SL is unpredictable. It is a hobby learning the bugs, and working around them. |
| 15:42 |
|
Kiki Delivers (kikixpress) looks around at people trying to think of a question |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sounds like we've covered it for this week |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
When I buy a package of socks, they are even in number. Why is that the only time they are even? |
| 15:44 |
Phrynne |
The mechanics of black holes between washing machines, dryers, and purses. |
| 15:44 |
DorisE1 |
It is the amount that you buy. |

That's a very prominent epistemological question related to vanishing ballpoint pens..... |

I am more interested as to why cords wrap into knots in the dark when you are not watching |

DorisE1 |
How come I take picture at time I crash? |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Do you mean that you see the image of where you were before that? |
| 15:47 |
DorisE1 |
No I end up not responding then crash off sl. |
| 15:47 |
Carl Metropolitan |
In other words the SL program freezes up then crashes? |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When you take a picture? |
| 15:47 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That's pretty normal way for it to crash. |
| 15:48 |
DorisE1 |
yes |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yea, taking a screenshot is one of those ways viewer can crash. |
| 15:48 |
DorisE1 |
Yes and I do not end up with the picturethat I took. |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It requires it to do something extra or load extra code. |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
Doris, what viewer do you use |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
? |
| 15:49 |
DorisE1 |
Firestorm. |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
Do you have the standard SL viewer, too? |
| 15:50 |
DorisE1 |
Yes but that is even worse. |
| 15:50 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't have that problem with firestorm. There is a firestorm group you could join that might be able to help you better. Let me find it. |
| 15:50 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Search for "Firestorm Support English" in Groups |
| 15:51 |
Gronk Seriman |
OK. I try to keep SL and Firestorm viewers up to date at all times, so I can compare. If one goes crazy, I have the other to fall back on. |
| 15:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Join it and ask. They are the experts on Firestorm related problems. |
| 15:51 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
May be related to hardware issues as well. |
| 15:51 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Sometimes the problems are not with the SL clients but with your graphics card or internet connection. |
| 15:51 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And how many other probrams are running at the same time. |
| 15:54 |
Gronk Seriman |
Doris, are you using a desktop or a laptop computer? |
| 15:54 |
DorisE1 |
Laptop |
| 15:54 |
DorisE1 |
I do one at a time. |
| 15:55 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Let's adjourn for the night because I think Doris' problem is the only one we have to work on. I will try to help her with the rezzing issue, and hopefully the firestorm support group can help her with the photo issue. |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you all for coming. |
| 15:56 |
Gronk Seriman |
Thank you Chancellors and Deans! |
| 15:56 |
Phrynne |
Thank you, everyone |
| 15:56 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
