Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2016-12-04
| 14:46 | Phrynne | there are some technicalities to setting up a chair on this stage |
| 14:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | A lot to do with angle and sometimes with digging the chair out of the stage. |
| 14:47 | Phrynne | It's a bit hard to sit on a chair when the stage hits you in the neck |
| 14:49 | Kara2016 | ouch. |
| 14:51 | Kara2016 | greetings ElfBiter. |
| 14:51 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) juggles with rikhas filled with chihuahuas | |
| 14:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And hello, Andrea 4 legs. |
| 14:54 | Kara2016 | Greetings Alexandra |
| 14:54 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Good Evening Kara |
| 14:55 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Hi everyone |
| 14:56 | Gronk Seriman | Ho, Larky! |
| 14:56 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne, do you think we should create an emeritus-emeritus deanship? |
| 14:56 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ;) |
| 14:56 | Phrynne | It's possible we might need one |
| 14:56 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) winks at Wordsmith. | |
| 14:56 | Phrynne waves to Larky | |
| 14:56 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Hi Word. Hi Phrynne. |
| 14:56 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hi Larky. |
| 14:57 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly for Badass fae. |
| 14:57 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) grins at Kara | |
| 14:57 | Kara2016 | Hugs Holly. |
| 14:57 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | hugs back |
| 14:58 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | lateral compressions. |
| 14:58 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Maybe we could create Esteemed Lady of Dreanship in Perpetuity in Loveliness post? |
| 14:59 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | lol |
| 14:59 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) blinks at Elfbiter and reads that one through again. | |
| 15:00 | Phrynne | Mr. Elfbiter, what language is that translated from? |
| 15:00 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:00 | Kara2016 | Greetings Agatha. |
| 15:01 | RainyDayRecess | Hi everybody :) |
| 15:01 | Agatha Macbeth | Hello |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Miss Rainy. |
| 15:01 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Sardithian, of course :-) |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Welcome all. |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Carl is on and may arrive, but in the meantime we shall start with my esteemed colleague and dean of commons, Phrynne. |
| 15:03 | Phrynne | I have all sorts of things to mention today... |
| 15:03 | Phrynne | First, we have a new Apprentice Tutor. Holly Gaavin, take a bow! |
| 15:03 | Kara2016 | Smiles |
| 15:03 | Gronk Seriman | Yaaaay! |
| 15:03 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | Takes a huge Bow |
| 15:03 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | and beams |
| 15:04 | RainyDayRecess | Yay!! :D |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Holly, you'll be getting a staff translator, shortly. |
| 15:04 | RainyDayRecess | Congratulations! |
| 15:04 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | thank you |
| 15:04 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | you all have been so nice |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | Next, we are regaining another staff member. Savannah Blindside, who served as a dean here several years ago, is returning as emeritus dean to help out wherever she can. Please welcome her when you see her. |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | She has been away for about five years, so she may not be up to date on a few things and need your help. |
| 15:05 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Loveliness of the stuff still increases |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We are announcing this so you aren't blindsided. |
| 15:05 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | absolutely. |
| 15:06 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | The Advent Calendar is roaring along nicely -- I am very pleased that we did not have several people opening up houses on top of each other yesterday |
| 15:06 | Agatha Macbeth | W00t |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Okay... Carl won't be here. RL. |
| 15:06 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) is relieved to hear Dean Blindside will be returning. | |
| 15:07 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Welcome, Holly |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | When I've been at Oxbridge in the last few days we have averaged about 12-15 people in the region fairly constantly, coming to the Calendar. |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | And, a reminder -- there will be a new gift every day through Dec. 24, and the boxes will remain out and open until the New Year. |
| 15:07 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | thanks :)) |
| 15:07 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you :) |
| 15:07 | Gronk Seriman | Is there any way to get that promoted in the Destinations Guide? |
| 15:08 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | According to Wordsmith, the young lady dressed primarily in jingle bells and poinsetta leaves was welcome, no matter what she did with the house. |
| 15:08 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Very nice, thank you |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | That's better than the streaker, who is lacking both poinsettia leaves and bells. |
| 15:09 | RainyDayRecess | Hahahaha |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | According to Miss Fae, she was nice, cute as a button, and went about her gift taking with dispatch. |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | has on poinsettias and bells. |
| 15:09 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) oogles Andrea. | |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | O.O |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | Also, I am (now that the Calendar work is done) working on updating the Faculty Information Kit, and I hope to finally have it out to you within the month, all things willing and the crick don't rise. |
| 15:10 | Kara2016 | last thing we need is a streaker |
| 15:10 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | You look adorable, Andrea. |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | Kara, she went past so fast I was the only one who noticed |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | awe their fun. they don't stand still. |
| 15:10 | Kara2016 | oh dear. |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | And that's what I have for today. |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We applied something akin the the 5 second rule; or the quantum mechanical observation that a particle can come into being temporarily from the zero point energy, as long as it's stay doesn't exceed the Heisenberg uncertainty. |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | She runs from the Entry spot to the Calendar and vanishes, without bumping anyone -- which is a rare talent |
| 15:12 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Gird yer loins, Holly. The sights you will see in a peaceful place like Oxbridge. |
| 15:12 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | LOL Phrynne |
| 15:12 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | giggles |
| 15:12 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | I used to be a heck raiser here |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | will have to gear up a alt to entertain holly with....oops forget ti said that |
| 15:13 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | when you all wernt looking |
| 15:13 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:13 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oxbridge has a new sponsor, Alexandra de Thebes (shortly to be up on the ad boards and website). Alexandra would you like to say a few words about your museum? |
| 15:14 | RainyDayRecess | Yay!! |
| 15:14 | Kara2016 | smiles brightly. |
| 15:14 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | claps |
| 15:15 | Gronk Seriman | Yaaay! |
| 15:15 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Oh. Sure ... we currently have about 125 painting on exhibit. Moving towards 200 or so. We have a large exhibit of Carl Spitzweg and a smaller Impressionism exhibit. Everything is free and we hope you will all come and see for yourselves. |
| 15:15 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Thank you |
| 15:15 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you :) |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've also mentioned to Alexandra that Oxbridge wouldn't mind hosting a seminar or two. |
| 15:16 | Gronk Seriman | And where is the Museum? |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hello, Vesper. |
| 15:17 | Vesper Lynd (jucastt) | hello, dear! |
| 15:17 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Um ... it's searchable: TBB Art Museum. We also built a small imaginary French Village which has a very large cathedral and a very small ballet studio. We had a museum on another virtual world and moved here when it became apparent that world is dying |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've a Slurl at least on the sim: Whitestone (114,243,151) |
| 15:18 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | You see how totally ignorant I am of how to do things in SL ... but we do know art! : ) |
| 15:18 | Gronk Seriman | Great! Thank you! |
| 15:19 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | You are welcome. : ) |
| 15:20 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) looks forward to visiting. | |
| 15:20 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | I think you will enjoy it! |
| 15:20 | Kara2016 | smiles brightly. |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And, to both my regret and understanding, our Miss Larky has resigned her responsibilities to Oxbridge to pursue advocacy on the other side. We shall greatly miss her assistance, humor, and badassery. |
| 15:21 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | awwwwwww |
| 15:21 | Agatha Macbeth | Other side of what? |
| 15:21 | RainyDayRecess | Yay? :( |
| 15:21 | Gronk Seriman pouts. | |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | But she will be dropping in now and again (better). |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If this is inworld, then the other must be the outworld. |
| 15:22 | Agatha Macbeth | Oh that |
| 15:23 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | LOL |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, that other somewhat out of sorts one. |
| 15:23 | Agatha Macbeth | Personally I have yet to see conclusive proof of its existence |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | One never knows quite what reality really is. |
| 15:24 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | I'll be around. SL is definitely saner than RL these days! And I'll miss you all when I'm not here. |
| 15:24 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | we will miss you |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Teddy Bear with resume the Photo Salon class on this next Wed. 7 Dec. |

| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Says he is the real thing. WHo am I to argue |
| 15:31 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:31 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | H did get out of a tardis if that means anything |
| 15:32 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sounds good. I'm not the Vice Chancellor for nothing. |
| 15:32 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) is howling | |
| 15:32 | Phrynne | Not the Tardis that looks like the Greek column or the clock? |
| 15:32 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) assumes most people here have not seen the Rare Exports movie.... | |
| 15:32 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | no the blue one in the pub |
| 15:32 | Phrynne | well, that's a relief |
| 15:33 | Kara2016 | Rare exorts movie? |
| 15:33 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Christmas park was not finished this weeken. but wil be done next weekend. the rides are rready to go though |

| 15:34 | Kara2016 | fantastic. |
| 15:34 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Caledon Oxbridge Village (87,49,22) |
| 15:34 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the park\ |
| 15:34 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you Andrea :) |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'm also working on moving the web interface for the translator to the new Azure portal (it's a Microsoft thing). It's possible it may include some new languages. Elfbiter may have to determine for us if it handles Finnish any better after the transition. |
| 15:35 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Time will tell..... |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It shall. |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With that, Open to questions. |
| 15:36 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | I still host the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays 11:00 AM SLT....... |
| 15:36 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Raises hand |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty Elf. |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Alexandra? |
| 15:37 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Is it possible that the Uni can offer Inventory Management again? I think there is some demand |
| 15:37 | Agatha Macbeth | That would be good |
| 15:38 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | I think I have Josain's class materials, if someone wants to take on the class. We'd need to okay it with Josain, and the class would probably need to be updated. |
| 15:38 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | I hope Josain can do it |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It certainly is. I'll see if there's someone whose humerus can have some torque applied to it to teach it. Or otherwise find a willing instructor. |
| 15:39 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | Raises Hand after outburst |
| 15:39 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | I doubt that he will. But it is not without precedent for class materials to be passed down from professor to professor. |
| 15:39 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | That would be wonderful. Thanks |
| 15:39 | Gronk Seriman | He's another pne who quietly dissapeared recently. (pouts* |
| 15:39 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | I've seen him around some recently, Gronk. |
| 15:39 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Josain has had troubles of his own.... |
| 15:39 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Haven't talked to him, but he's been around. |
| 15:39 | Phrynne | He does visit Oxbridge, but RL governs his schedule |
| 15:40 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | He comes to some of Andrea's events, too. He was at one a week or two ago. |
| 15:40 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Thought he does appear in the Plaza and often interrupted by RL... |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I can ask him. |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Good suggestion. |
| 15:41 | Phrynne | argh -- my cat teleported me |
| 15:41 | RainyDayRecess | Hahahahaha |
| 15:41 | star (astarynite) giggles | |
| 15:41 | Agatha Macbeth | ^.^ |
| 15:41 | Gronk Seriman | Ha! |
| 15:41 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | LOL |
| 15:41 | Agatha Macbeth | Good job you weren't aboard the Enterprise |
| 15:41 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:42 | Phrynne | she woudln't care :) |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Other questions? |
| 15:42 | Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) | yes...Id like to suggest a huge xmas tree behind you guys on the stage? |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | Any Sign of Existence grom Brace Coral? |
| 15:42 | star (astarynite) | good idea Heidi |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne? (on the Xmas tree) |
| 15:43 | Phrynne | I don't have any trees. Carl has the ones that were up at Oxbridge last year. I've sent him a note to ask if he can come by and put one or two up, but have not heard back. |
| 15:43 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | My email to her said her account was inactive, Gronk. I'm really concerned about her. |
| 15:43 | Phrynne | Or, rather, I have oaks and so on but not Christmas trees. |
| 15:43 | star (astarynite) | um... Holly |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No word from Brace. Larky had an email to her bounce I believe. |
| 15:43 | star (astarynite) | sorry |
| 15:44 | Gronk Seriman | Thst's sad to hear. |
| 15:44 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hmm has a few trees if you want to look at them in the sandbox phrynne |
| 15:44 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Yes. She was really a breath of fresh air. |
| 15:44 | Phrynne | Yes, thanks, Andrea, after this. |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | As well as appointing herself as my primary official stalker. |
| 15:45 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | LOL. I think she misjudged you a bit, Wordsmith. |
| 15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oh? |
| 15:46 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | She perhaps thought you were a bit more staid than you really are. My opinion only. |
| 15:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We can hope a time comes soon when she can return. |
| 15:47 | Kara2016 | staid? |
| 15:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oh! |
| 15:47 | Kara2016 | nevr mind. |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Staid as in placid, sedate, not prone to mischief. |
| 15:49 | Phrynne | *coughs very hard for a long time* |
| 15:49 | Kara2016 | oh..that. |
| 15:49 | Phrynne | *takes a cough drop* |
| 15:49 | Kara2016 | giggles. |
| 15:49 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | (smothers a chortle) |
| 15:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else? |
| 15:49 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | See what I mean? ;^p |
| 15:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | By the way, in the several years past, I've changed the music stream at Oxbridge to a holiday one and either at Oxbridge or Village tried to have it so that those at loose ends can drop by and chat (at the minimum). I don't plan on Oxbridge holding classes either on Christmas day nor New Years. |
| 15:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | One of the music streams I've used is this one: WKSU Classical Holiday http://66.225.205.8:931 |
| 15:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If nothing else, then we can adjourn |
| 15:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing nothing else. make it so. |
| 15:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you all for coming. |
| 15:54 | Alexandra de Thebes (antigonethebes2) | Thank you. |
| 15:55 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (Nice gown, Star) |
| 15:55 | star (astarynite) | thank you |
| 15:55 | Gronk Seriman | Thank you Deans! And an even more ex-Dean. *smiles* |
| 15:55 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) | Thank you, everyone! |
| 15:55 | Badass Fae (larkylouz) smiles at Gronk. Thank you | |
| 15:55 | Phrynne | Thank you for coming |
| 15:55 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Martin (eccles58) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
