It's a Three Dean Night. |
| 15:02 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
raises hand |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or maybe 2.5 (post travel head cold) |
| 15:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am at about half a dean myself, too |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So let's officially start, it being 3pm LST |
| 15:03 |
Carl Metropolitan |
500 milliDeans |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
and since I just woke up, and am half-a-dean, it's a 1.5 dean night |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Holly? |
| 15:03 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
where is Brace? I miss her |
| 15:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I do not know what has happened to Brace. I'm sorry. I have tried skyping her. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl, any status on that? |
| 15:04 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I've tried sending her messages. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So multiple of us missing her. She had said, while still showing up, that RL was chewing up her time. |
| 15:06 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I know she is alive, because I know her RL twitter account, and that is sporadically active. I can't share that information with anyone as it is private. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hopefully, it's just overload and she is still hale and hearty. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Let's see if we have anything to report this week. Phrynne? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I have been offline with an eye problem for a few days, so I have no report. |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
:( |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Larky anything from your perspective? |
| 15:08 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Not really. Still working on ban records. Sincerely sick of RL politics. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There were those a bit dismayed that the time change added another hour to all of that. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl? |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Nothing really. |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Well, No. That's not right |
| 15:10 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm getting ready to start a new fundraising campaign seeking out new Patrons. |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
The number of active Oxbridge Patrons (the people who donated enough to cover our tier at a pledge of L$2500/month) has dropped slowly over the last year. |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
At this point we need new ones. |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Or if you were one and have gone inactive and you want to re-up, let me know |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I will be bugging people more next week :) |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(Imagines husks of worn out patrons.) |
| 15:13 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) points out that L$2500 works out to about $10USD a month. Quite affordable for many folks. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Their "tenure" to start in Dec or in Jan? |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Anyway, something to keep in mind. |
| 15:13 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
where do we donate? |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Get in touch with me. |
| 15:13 |
Carl Metropolitan |
j.carl.henderson@gmail.com |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And you donate to the Oxbridge Mint account |
| 15:14 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
hit the coin in the square? |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which can be done directly or through one of the coins. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
We are always eager for non-patron donations as well. You don't have to sign up to a monthly pledge to donate and make a difference. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Right |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Or the coin here |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or there's one by the Village chat circle below. |
| 15:15 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
ok I willkeep that in mind |
| 15:15 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Other thing, after a request from someone in COUG group chat, I have created a "Caledon Oxbridge Student Union" group for open, non-help chat |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Just keep it non-adult. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It should show up in the group search soon. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Donations, either pledge or just done, being what keeps the sim here and Oxbridge itself running. |
| 15:16 |
Carl Metropolitan |
And a notecard will go out shortly. |
| 15:17 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
a place to be silly> |
| 15:17 |
Carl Metropolitan |
"soon" being LL "soon" which could be thirty minutes or a week from now. |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
It's there now. |
| 15:17 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Oh, no, Holly. No silliness in Second Life! ;^) |
| 15:17 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
yes maam |
| 15:17 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
teasing |
| 15:17 |
Justice Sage (troystructure) |
xD |
| 15:17 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
i know |
| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
:-) |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Neat. Will this be replacing the current signs? |
| 15:20 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
oh, nice! |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
The lights at the bottom are new. |
| 15:21 |
DorisE1 |
May I give you a idea? |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't have much from this last week, first being away at a conference, then archiving about 5000 tweets from it, and then succumbing to some sort of virus, but that schedule kiosk is part of my project list. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Once reports are done, Doris. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A while back, |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Tali implemented a new schedule interface that includes a venue/location field. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So technically, cutting over to that (still pending), I'll be able to schedule simultaneous classes in different places. Like Salsa and Building, for example. |
| 15:24 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ah. |
| 15:24 |
Mr Magic Fox (jackgreen1) |
:) |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But displaying that was bugging me. Working with Jorge on the multi-language kiosks brought me to the obvious solution. Add some buttons and have multiple textures. |
| 15:25 |
Carl Metropolitan |
How would those show up on the schedule in default mode? Would only one show up? |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With the main lecture hall as the default. It does mean contacting people with the kiosks and replacing them all, but I do have a list of where they are. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The main lecture hall by default. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And reverting back to that automatically. |
| 15:27 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
a lag fest but tons of fun |
| 15:27 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
have you met Poe? |
| 15:27 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
he is a rabbit and a blast |
| 15:28 |
DorisE1 |
No |
| 15:28 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
she |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not really a lagfest, since it only requires a touch -- no sensing. |
| 15:28 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I have enjoyed my conversations with Poe. :^) |
| 15:28 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
she is into everything even the mondrago irship rases and she is new |
| 15:28 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
ooopppsssslolol |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anyway, that's what the plans are, along with working on filling the schedule. |
| 15:29 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
im orry |
| 15:29 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
sorry |
| 15:29 |
|
Gronk Seriman raises an eyebrow. Conversation leak? |
| 15:29 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
yes maam |
| 15:30 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles |
| 15:30 |
RainyDayRecess |
:) |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, open for questions. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
and annoucements. |
| 15:30 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I have an off-topic question, if I may. Carl, the notecard I made lists the various groups connected with Oxbridge. Any objections to such publicity. It does mention COU group. |
| 15:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I have none. |
| 15:31 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
okay, thanks. |
| 15:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
It is not like we have secret groups |
| 15:31 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Or if we do, no one told me :) |
| 15:31 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
kk. I haven't told you about the Badasses of Oxbridge group, have I????? |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:32 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
oooooo I wanna join |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
/mr grins |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That one is SOOO believable. |
| 15:32 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
LOL |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Questions, suggestions, announcements? |
| 15:34 |
DorisE1 |
I have a idea. |
| 15:34 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
raises hand |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Doris, your idea? |
| 15:36 |
DorisE1 |
This group should be able to have fun and chat about different things. |
| 15:37 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Doris, I just sent you the notecard we've been talking about. There are several chat groups for people who want to have fun. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's the new group Carl just mentioned. As long as it stays civil and doesn't take on adult topics like .... parenting? |
| 15:37 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
heee |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
Or pre-parenting |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Those are "adult" topics. |
| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
No discussions of physical activities related to potentially producing a progery |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, getting the COU Group group, back to being more just help, and providing a group for silliness and fun. |
| 15:39 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I'm not sure how to say it better. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Holly? |
| 15:40 |
|
Mr Magic Fox (jackgreen1) raises hand |
| 15:40 |
DorisE1 |
Who is the dean? |
| 15:41 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Which dean? |
| 15:41 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Here is a link that explains our staff setup: http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/admin.php |
| 15:41 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
There are several people with the title of Dean. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Those of us up here would all be considered deans, And Badass Fae is an emeritus dean of commons doing special projects. |
| 15:43 |
DorisE1 |
Can we students teach others how to do something if we know how to do it? |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In addition to being Vice Chancellor (more aimed for external communication and internally camp counselor), I'm also Dean of Education and Acting Dean of Engines (scripting). |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
you can always share with others, for example in the sandbox. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or even in chat at the chat circle below or the plaza (as long as the latter isn't interfering with staff helping newbies) |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Mr. Magic? |
| 15:46 |
Mr Magic Fox (jackgreen1) |
Where can i find the other Oxbridge (Union), or Caledon area discussions please? ..The notecard which was mentioned earlier? |
| 15:47 |
[Second Life |
You have been added to the group.] |
| 15:47 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I just sent it to you. |
| 15:47 |
Phrynne |
Caledon Oxbridge Student Union is a new group that is listed in Search. |
| 15:47 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
anyone else? IM me privately, please. |
| 15:47 |
DorisE1 |
How come I see certain Avartars in different colors? |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, that's the avatar complexity. They are shown as colored "jelly dolls", if you right click on them and select "Render Fully", you'll see them as they intend to be seen. |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
But you also place more load on your graphics card. |
| 15:49 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
If you're using Firestorm, there are a couple of levels of menus to work through. |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Holly, you had raised your hand? |
| 15:50 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
oh im good thanks |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good Holly. |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, announcement? |
| 15:51 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There will be a event at the Blues Juke Joint this Tues night 6 to 8. Two hours of Blues music brought to us by DJ Poppy. See the ISC chat and Caledonian Nights groups notices for details. Or the Sign board on the roof of the Pub in the Oxbridge Village sim. Or I can send you one upon IM request. Planning of events is 3 weeks out now and those will be added to the sign notecard giver only. That is on the on the roof of the Pub previously mentioned. |
| 15:52 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you Andrea |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Still trying toplan a fund raiser event for this month. any idea give me a holler |
| 15:52 |
DorisE1 |
How come I do not get all the anoucements about classes? |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You are in the scholars group? |
| 15:53 |
DorisE1 |
Yes |
| 15:54 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
yes, she is |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, notifications have always been a bit "iffy". |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One of the "features" of SL. |
| 15:55 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
You can set your viewer up to receive notices as email. |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can always go to the group and check annoucements, but SL doesn't always forward them to your offworld email. |
| 15:56 |
DorisE1 |
I got called a lier when I was telling the truth and I ended up in tears because she does not belive me. |
| 15:56 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Lots of group noticed just get lost though. |
| 15:56 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
rraises hand? |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Holly? |
| 15:56 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
And notifications can be found in the gray box in the top right corner of your viewer. |
| 15:56 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
cant you get the classes over on the board? |
| 15:57 |
DorisE1 |
Does Mae Best teach here? |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
On the schedule? Yes. I try and keep that showing what's scheduled. |
| 15:57 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
No, she doesn't. |
| 15:57 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
easy peasy |
| 15:58 |
DorisE1 |
Oh she lied to me. |
| 15:58 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Never heard of her. |
| 15:58 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Lots of people will lie in SL. Just like the real world. Be skeptical. |
| 15:58 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, if you touch the schedule, you should receive a schedule notecard. |
| 15:59 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Doris, please do not claim people lied to you. She once applied to become a tutor, but never followed through. She does sometimes show up to unofficially help folks. That may be what she is referring to. |
| 15:59 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
She's talked with me in the past, but not gotten to the point of having a class together to teach. |
| 15:59 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
we are a tight knit group |
| 16:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am sorry. I have to go now. I've got to do a RL thing. |
| 16:00 |
Carl Metropolitan |
See you all soon. |

Can I be a tutor? |
| 16:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hmmm. I guess we are officially adjourned, although I can hang around a bit longer. |
| 16:02 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Bedtime for me anyway... |
| 16:02 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Doris, you would have to talk to Tasha about that. |
| 16:02 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
night Elf |
| 16:02 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
OR attempted one at least |
| 16:02 |

Tasha who? |
| 16:02 |
Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) |
she is a dean |
