14:51 Phrynne welcome, Larky and Mr. Elfbiter
14:51 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Good day, Vice Chancellor Jack of all trades, sir.
14:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen (bows)
14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Changes Larky from a purple blob.
15:01 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) hands the sloth a treat
15:02 SigmundSloth ^-^
15:03 SigmundSloth squeak
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well Phrynne, looks like a two Dean night. Unless we reannoint Larky as Asst Dean of Stage Presence.
15:04 Phrynne Either way works for me.
15:04 Phrynne Hello Carl!
15:04 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Here's Carl!
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans Q&A. (and Welcome Carl!)
15:04 RainyDayRecess Hi Carl :)
15:04 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) With Larky, it would 3.5 Dean Night
15:04 RainyDayRecess :D
15:05 Kamilah Hauptmann /me is just here to troll the Deans.
15:05 Badass Fae (larkylouz) LOL

15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen I don't mind fractional (or is that fractured deans) as long as they're rational.
15:05 Kara2016 greetings everyone.
15:05 Carl Metropolitan I am fractional today. Coming down with something, I think.
15:06 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I prefer frictional, I believe.

15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Lemonade Couture, Star?
15:06 Phrynne /me tries not to think of the square root of minus one.
15:06 star (astarynite) /me smiles
15:06 star (astarynite) the finest of clothes Word
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ah Phrynne. you're getting complex.
15:06 star (astarynite) /me grins
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Or is that merely your complexion?
15:07 Phrynne Possibly a summation
15:07 star (astarynite) /me blushes, not it is more peachy
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, let's have you take it from there.
15:08 Phrynne I have a short report today -- I have taken all of the home- and house- and yard-related gifts from the Advent Calendar and put them into a box in the Railroad Station as a freebie gift.

15:10 RainyDayRecess I think so
15:10 WhosOnSim HUD V1.0.2 (Oxbridge) WhosOnSim HUD V1.0.2
15:10 Carl Metropolitan It looks like his chair did, at least.
15:11 Carl Metropolitan I see him.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yep back.

15:11 Phrynne It's the chair, right
15:11 Phrynne ?

15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Had forgotten to reset the chair's group before I crashed.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'll need a patch from the transcript.
15:13 Carl Metropolitan I think you only missed a bad joke from me.
15:14 Kara2016 giggle.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phynne didn't zip through her report?
15:14 Phrynne One paragraph.

15:14 Kara2016 !/3
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen More?
15:14 Phrynne no
15:15 Kara2016 *1?3
15:15 Phrynne unless you want me to recite something or other that is irrelevant to the proceedings
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen There's precedent for that.
15:15 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl, did you have anything in particular and where do we stand on Patrons and tier is paid for another quarter.
15:16 Carl Metropolitan Not really today
15:17 Kamilah Hauptmann /me can't remember the last time I paid a donation.
15:17 Carl Metropolitan A big on makes the coin go nuts.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Are we fully "patronized" or need me to herd that?

15:18 Carl Metropolitan A big one
15:18 Carl Metropolitan We need more.

15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Get me current info and I'll see what I can do if you need a break.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anyway, tier is paid through 19 April.
15:20 Carl Metropolitan Thank you
15:20 Carl Metropolitan And thanks to everyone who made the coin light up today :)

15:21 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen On other news, the translator interface is cut over to the new Microsoft Azure portal.
15:21 Lyn Navarita How much is tier? Is it by the month, quarter ore year?
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen You don't need a new version just to keep using it. I did find a bug that won't affect normal use and versions before to have Finnish as a known language. I will be distributing 1.25 soon (after I check on potential language additions).
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Working now on a visitor counter for Phrynne and cutting over the scheduling to the newer interface.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Tier for 13 weeks is about 74500 $L
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Carl, just had Beth Ghosraven as if we're planning a presence at VWBPE?
15:26 Kara2016 gulp.
15:27 Phrynne It's all from donations, Kara.
15:27 Kara2016 smiles brightly
15:27 Carl Metropolitan We should do that. We have always in the past. Is it time to register again?
15:28 Carl Metropolitan Checking
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen I suspect, given that Beth is pinging me.
15:29 Carl Metropolitan Okay. Let me sign us up
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Great.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Beth Ghostraven: awesome! thanks :o)
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, let's open up for questions.
15:32 star (astarynite) /me raises her hand
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Star?
15:33 star (astarynite) Will there be more building classes on the schedule coming up? I know it depends on the availability of instructors.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, Star, before I crashed was going to relate: 255, 148, 105.
15:33 star (astarynite) thank you, I will go there and be surprised I think
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'm hoping to recruit more on that, yes.
15:33 star (astarynite) great
15:33 Lyn Navarita /me next?
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's not a there. It's a color (RGB). For the "more like peach".
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Lyn?
15:34 Lyn Navarita I'm not on often, so I don't know what blue or purple people are with a complexity number is.
15:34 Lyn Navarita That may be two different things
15:34 star (astarynite) ahhhh, thank you Word!
15:35 star (astarynite) RGB
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, SL implemented avatar complexity. If an avatar is too complex for the current viewer setting, they appear as a colored jelly-doll.
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen You can up the complexity setting in preferences, at the cost of potential lag, or right click on an individual jelly-doll and select "render fully".
15:36 Lyn Navarita Does a higher number effect thos around you like it did before?
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen A higher number affects what you see (number as in your own viewer complexity setting)
15:37 Lyn Navarita Oh, if you set it low they don't effect you?
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen The actual complexity of what's worn can affect others.
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen If you set it low, you see more people as jelly-dolls.
15:38 Lyn Navarita What is default? Or is that determined by your PC?
15:38 Carl Metropolitan ((Okay, VWBPE exhibit proposal submitted))
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen If you set it highter, you see more people as fully rendered, but you graphics card is also doing more work.
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Carl.
15:39 Kamilah Hauptmann Note, the Render Fully is saved so you don't have to do it over and over again for your fashionista friend.
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Kamilah.
15:39 Carl Metropolitan Isn't the default setting (at least on Firestorm) to render fully up to around 130,000?
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen As one who has fashionista friends......
15:40 Kamilah Hauptmann I think it takes into account your graphics settings and assigns you a 'default', which you can alter.
15:40 Lyn Navarita Wow. Mine is set at 25000 and I still see jellydolls
15:41 Kamilah Hauptmann Mine's set to 250,000 and only one jelly doll in the room right now, no biggie, really.
15:41 Lyn Navarita 250,000
15:41 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'm set at 165,000 and I generally have to fully render a few avatars at parties.
15:42 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) (is probably the jelly doll)
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen The default setting may depend on the graphics card, as with other graphics settings.
15:42 Lyn Navarita I'll drop down to mid scale. My old PC will thank me.
15:42 Carl Metropolitan Yes. You are right. I'm at 250,000
15:43 Kamilah Hauptmann But you can just set it really high and it protects against garden variety trolls.
15:43 Kamilah Hauptmann Slide the slider all the way over and I think it disables it, but don't remember exactly.
15:43 Lyn Navarita Really? How? I just tried and it went Unlimited
15:44 Kamilah Hauptmann There you go. Jellydolls disabled on yur viewer.
15:44 Wordsmith Jarvinen Basically, it's a tool the control lag produced by wonderful looking avatars.
15:44 Wordsmith Jarvinen *to control lag ....
15:45 Carl Metropolitan It seems to me to be most related to how many small mesh and/or sculpty bits you are wearing. Most normal mesh clothing and bodies don't go out of the green
15:45 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) OR bling....
15:45 Carl Metropolitan But lots of jewelry will
15:46 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) hauls around a lot of stuff to look like this lol
15:46 Kamilah Hauptmann There's a hair seller in SL that takes rips from the Sims and uploads to SL. I don't think I've seen a hiar from them under six figures. :)
15:46 Kara2016 <..i work hard on my looks.
15:46 Carl Metropolitan Holly, you are less than 100,000
15:47 Carl Metropolitan That's a good number
15:47 Kamilah Hauptmann General rule of thumb: If you're under 6 figures you're good in most situations.
15:47 Kamilah Hauptmann If you're taking portrait photos, do whatever you want, seriously.
15:48 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:48 Kamilah Hauptmann If someone IMs you and tells you they see you as a gelly doll, that's their problem and they're being a jerk.
15:49 Kamilah Hauptmann /me has a variety of outfits on an alt, and I tag them with under #. I try to not let them go over 200K is all.
15:49 Kamilah Hauptmann If going to a crowded place like say, Arcade, I'll slip into one of the super efficient ones.
15:49 Kara2016 Wow!
15:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hence the line: "Let me slip into something more efficient".
15:50 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Actually, in Oxbridge, we often have new folks who just don't understand the Jelly Doll phenomenon. They're not being jerks; they're just new. Or old, and not on much, or something.
15:50 RainyDayRecess :D
15:50 Lyn Navarita Does complexity play into the land impact I see talked about? Or are they different?
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not for attachments.
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen (which is where clothes fall)
15:51 Lyn Navarita I fit into the old and not on much crowd. Why I' asking/
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Exactly what we're here today for.
15:52 Lyn Navarita Thank you all for the explanations.
15:52 Wordsmith Jarvinen Another question?
15:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen I don't remember if we announced that Holly is now an Apprentice Tutor.
15:54 Phrynne We did.
15:54 star (astarynite) /me claps loudly
15:54 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) I took a bow...blushes
15:54 Phrynne And Caissa is also an apprentice tutor
15:54 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Yeah!
15:54 star (astarynite) Wooohooo
15:54 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) whistles loud
15:54 Carl Metropolitan Thank you Holly
15:54 RainyDayRecess Yay!! :D
15:54 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Loveliness increases
15:55 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) awwww Mr E
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Holly or Phrynne, I'm blanking on our other new tutor (Lorelai McCreary, but that's not her display name).
15:56 star (astarynite) Teddy Bear?
15:56 Phrynne Caissa is Caissa McCreary
15:57 Phrynne our other new apprentice tutor.
15:57 Phrynne sorry, could not remember the spelling and had to look it up
15:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Who is also a returnee to SL.
15:57 star (astarynite) there is a wonderful new Photo Shop instructor named TeddyBear
15:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, Photo Salon, taken over from Renee Caxton.
15:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen We did have her here a few sessions back.
15:59 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) zhazha?
15:59 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) or something like that
15:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen No, Caissa.
16:00 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Zahzha has been an apprentice for a long time. She isn't online consistently, so hasn't become a full tutor, but she shows up to help now and then.
16:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen ZhaZha is also a tutor, but has been on staff for a while.
16:00 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Why are we hearing the bell up here?
16:01 Kara2016 bel?
16:01 Lyn Navarita Dogs are calling. Thank you all again :)
16:01 Kamilah Hauptmann Random class idea: "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?" that opens with a selection from the KLF and covers a Q&A with experienced SL users on any topic of SL frustration.
16:01 Phrynne There's a bell in the tower overhead
16:01 Badass Fae (larkylouz) oH? Okay. I didn't know that.
16:01 Carl Metropolitan KLF? The band?
16:01 Holly Gaavin (hollydeni) O.o
16:02 Kamilah Hauptmann There's a joke running around the internet about it right now, I'm ust too obscure again.
16:02 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
16:02 Kamilah Hauptmann https://i.redd.it/gx70f7ulnw7y.jpg
16:02 Kamilah Hauptmann Here we go, it seems those nutters have somethign in the works.
16:03 Carl Metropolitan I think that's it for this session of Q&A
16:03 Carl Metropolitan Thank you all for coming tonight.
