Welcome to this Week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(it would be dull without you -- no bright smiles even) |
| 15:02 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hello |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Wonder if we're competing with another event today. |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
Tea dance, possibly |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, what have ye? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
Nothing concerning Oxbridge overall, just that I am in the stage of boxing and readying the gifts for Advent Calendar so they will be ready for anyone and everyone from Dec. 1-24. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
And they are magnificent. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
You will really miss something good if you don't come by and take your share. |
| 15:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Hi Larky |
| 15:05 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't have anything to say this week. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This will be distributed as they were last year; a new box everyday? |
| 15:05 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Hi everyone |
| 15:06 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
I have to admit.... i don't know how they were distributed last year |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Yes -- a new numbered box each day, under the stained-glass gazebo, and all previous ones will be there as well, available. |
| 15:06 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
thankx |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Jorge, anything new on the translations or CATs? |
| 15:07 |
Jorge Serapis |
I've been hacking away at my list of projects. |
| 15:07 |
Jorge Serapis |
I'm linking prims in my dreams at this point... |
| 15:08 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
hehe |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Best way to do it |
| 15:08 |
Jorge Serapis |
... It's almost completed, and I hope to get back to the textures this coming week and slam them out. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I tend to have stubborn prims that won't align in my dreams. |
| 15:08 |
Jorge Serapis |
As to the CATs, nothing really to say on them. Exploring options at this point. |
| 15:09 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
ok... I'll ask. What's a CAT? |
| 15:09 |
Agatha Macbeth |
^.^ |
| 15:09 |
Jorge Serapis |
Caledon Air Transport. |
| 15:09 |
Jorge Serapis |
.. a network of airships for travel through Caledon. |
| 15:09 |
Carl Metropolitan |
What does CAT need to run now? Land? |
| 15:09 |
|
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) nods indicating understanding |
| 15:10 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I do have recent parcel maps of pretty much all the Caledon sims if that helps anything, along with max prims and used prim counts. |
| 15:10 |
Jorge Serapis |
Various other issues Carl. I'm exploring options. |
| 15:10 |
Jorge Serapis |
That's it from me. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk Thank you. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Larky, have anything from the back (and badass) seat? |
| 15:11 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I think at one time Wrath maintained a "Hazards to Navigation" map showing parcels where flying object could not enter. Maybe he still does? |
| 15:12 |
Jorge Serapis |
That's not one of the issues, Carl. |
| 15:12 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
No, same old, same old. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've received a class proposal that seems like its a go. A class on DJing in SL. |
| 15:14 |
Carl Metropolitan |
That sounds like it could be really good. |
| 15:14 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! |
| 15:14 |
Agatha Macbeth |
0.0 |
| 15:14 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:15 |
Gronk Seriman |
That sounds like fun! |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A relatively recent resident in SL, but one with years of RL experience that has been DJing in SL and wants to teach others. |
| 15:15 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Wonderful |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
and came to me with a class outline already done. |
| 15:16 |
Kara2016 |
Fantastic! |
| 15:16 |
Gronk Seriman |
Very nice! |
| 15:16 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
:^) |
| 15:17 |
Gronk Seriman |
We really need more fun classes like that. Nightclub buildong would be great, too! |
| 15:18 |
Kara2016 |
true. |
| 15:18 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Apart from that, the next few days are completing a house for Phrynne's calendar then on to reworking aspects of the schedule kiosks. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I also have to rework the web interface of the translators because of changes Microsoft is making. |
| 15:19 |
Phrynne |
(Yes -- we are giving away houses, a small castle, and a great deal of furniture in the Calendar) |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I was afraid of that, when I got the news from MS. |
| 15:19 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Thank you for salvaging them, Wordsmith. |
| 15:19 |
|
Agatha Macbeth ponders a castle in a calendar |
| 15:19 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
I undestand they're trying to monetize Translate |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've established an account already on the new Azure server, but haven't had a chance to take that further yet. |
| 15:22 |
Carl Metropolitan |
They already charged for it; they just had a lower level of use that was free. That was why we could not give our translators out freely. |
| 15:22 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
I'll poke around and see if I can find a substitute for translate.google.com. I use it all the time when I talk to people in IM. I know there are others out there. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's not necessarily a big change. The essence of submitting text and getting back a translation should stay the same. They may or may not have changed to scheme to authorize. |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's not a worry, we've got sufficient time and it shouldn't change the SL HUDs |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's it for me. Open to questions, announcements, etc. |
| 15:25 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
This Tuesday the 15th. There will be a event at the Dock House in the Oxbridge Village. The theme is Pirate night. See the notice in the ISC, or I can send you a nc on the event. The roof of the Pub in the Village has a sign that gives out the notecards as well. |
| 15:25 |
Gronk Seriman |
Times? |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The pub being usefully close to the Oxbridge sim (as in just over the line) |
| 15:25 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
oh 6 to8 |
| 15:26 |
Gronk Seriman |
Great! |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the dockhouse further to the east along the northern shore of Village. |
| 15:26 |
Gronk Seriman |
Every university has a bar or two nearby. |
| 15:27 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
great big building over the water, can't miss it |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions or input? |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Any word on brace? |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
How is the COU financially? |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
No word on Brace. |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I can't contact her. |
| 15:29 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:( |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I am sorry. |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
I don't know how to do any more than I've done. |
| 15:29 |
|
Gronk Seriman sighs. |
| 15:29 |
Lyn Navarita |
Brace Coral? |
| 15:29 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Yes. |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nods, Ket's hope then that she is okay. |
| 15:29 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Let's |
| 15:30 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
And just out of touch. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Financially stable. I need to catch up on some stipend paying, but I believe about 280k $L |
| 15:30 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Please pay my rent! I'll lpay you back tomorrow! |
| 15:31 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) hides under the bench. |
| 15:31 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:p |
| 15:31 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
;^) |
| 15:31 |
Kara2016 |
I noticed the store beside my house is gone. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(Considers scripting a cricket box to follow Larky) |
| 15:32 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
That's one of the ups and downs of SL. Things and people come and go. :( |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
which store? |
| 15:32 |
|
Badass Fae (larkylouz) likes crickets! They're good luck. |
| 15:32 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
especially if you're a hungry frog |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
That is sad to hear. I still had stuff to buy there |
| 15:32 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Writers' Meeting are still going on...... |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thursday's at 11a? |
| 15:33 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yup |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Attendance varies. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And this is NaNoWriMo. |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yup |
| 15:34 |
Kara2016 |
i can not fine it in my land marks. |
| 15:35 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And we have had some prompts now. |
| 15:35 |
|
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) wonders if Linden time is PST.... since that's what shows in my display |
| 15:35 |
Gronk Seriman |
The tab that looks like a globe? |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
Yes, Wilson. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is PST, yes. |
| 15:35 |
Wilson Hall (wilsonhall) |
thanx |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:36 |
Carl Metropolitan |
Increased prims have started to show up on the mainland. Not in Caledon yet. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Wants, desires, .....? |
| 15:37 |
Martin (eccles58) |
That linden scamming thing, Fae referred to, any info on that? |
| 15:37 |
Kara2016 |
wow! increased prims. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, if they get around to increasing prims on Caledon's sims, Oxbridge would increase to 5000 prims. |
| 15:37 |
Jorge Serapis |
My Linden home's LI count on my parcel is 175 or so. |
| 15:38 |
Jorge Serapis |
On a 512m2. |
| 15:38 |
Kara2016 |
That willnot effect the rent of a parcel? |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, it's a no cost prim increase on sims. Likely from better hardware available now compared to 2003 or so. |
| 15:39 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:39 |
Martin (eccles58) |
I have read discussions that some landlords are increasing rent. |
| 15:39 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Unless some landlords use it as a excuse |
| 15:40 |
Martin (eccles58) |
yes |
| 15:40 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
But it is not what LL is doing. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Des has said that for Caledon it doesn't affect rent since it doesn't affect the tier he pays. |
| 15:41 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Des is one of the reasonable ones |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Indeed. |
| 15:41 |
Kara2016 |
true. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then we're adjourned. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks you all for coming and participating. |
| 15:42 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Thank you, everyone |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |

| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Bedtiem fo rme. Six hours to sleep. |

Martin (eccles58) |

Carl Metropolitan |
Goodbye |
| 15:43 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |
Good night, Mr. Elfbiter |
| 15:43 |
Badass Fae (larkylouz) |

| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |

| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Be seeing you |
