Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2017-05-21

14:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Greetings, Mr. lovejoy.
14:48 Phrynne hello Lovejoy :)
14:48 lovejoy2199 *smile* RATS!!!! I can't use 'Provost' anymore. btw: Well earned.
14:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen True. So far so good, with help.
14:50 Phrynne hmm. Is the opposite of a provost an antivost?
14:50 lovejoy2199 LOL...CONvost.
14:50 Phrynne but that sounds like someone who organizes a conference -- a con host
14:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, there a fake conferences -- which sounds like there's a con host.
14:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hello, Andrea.
14:53 Phrynne Hi Andrea!
14:53 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi
14:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen Watches Andrea call her chair to herself.
14:57 lovejoy2199 Now...that is a chair.
14:58 Phrynne good thing it's tame
14:58 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) still too big
14:59 lovejoy2199 Watch the Chancellor looking up at the ceiling. Falling chirs.
14:59 RainyDayRecess Hi everyone ;D
15:00 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Good afternoon Deans, Everbody.
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen I need to put a non default animation in this chair, sometimes the LL default one goes balmy.
15:00 Cognis06 Hello :P
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Good afternoon, Welcome to this weeks Q&A.
15:01 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Of course hello Mr Chancellor !
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen The meeting is open to all. We generally do our reports and then open up for questions on Oxbridge, SL, and beyond.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, you noticed some activity in the long grass?
15:04 Phrynne Yes -- there are two chambered nautiluses - nautili? -- roaming the tall grass to the west of the Entry Building. And there is a red jellyfish along with the lonely merbunny in the grass between the Entry Building and the Hall of Caledon.
15:04 RainyDayRecess Cute ;)
15:04 Phrynne All of them are the work of Arcadia Aley, who has created amazing things in SL
15:04 Phrynne I didn't take a firm count, but my rough estimate is that there are somewhere near 1000 daisies on the campus.
15:05 Phrynne which is probably enough for now.
15:05 Phrynne That's about all from me; RL has been particularly demanding this week.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Welcome kara
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen About a daisy per avatar then.
15:06 Phrynne Yes -- fortunately, they don't pick them when they come through.
15:06 RainyDayRecess ;)
15:06 Kara2016 <..good thing i remembered.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Waves at Holly
15:06 Holly (hollydeni) hey guys sorry'
15:07 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Not really anything more than last week. Still getting a handle on who is in the patron program. SL demmands on my time were heavy this week with me closing out of a coupe of regions and having several builds to finish
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I shold be back on track this week
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) should
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Now that the remembrance build is done
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Unlike the trains that I spot out behind the lecture hall.
15:09 RainyDayRecess Thank you so much for your hard work Andrea ;)
15:09 lovejoy2199 ???? Trains?
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I have witnessed that also
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) free range trains
15:09 Phrynne They also seem to slip off the land in South End as well sometimes
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oxbridge has a train station. It is well away from the west coast. Yet one occasionally spots a lost train behind the lecture hall.
15:10 Kara2016 aere those good or bad?
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) They have not eaten anyone yet, so...
15:10 Kara2016 laughing.
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen If you click on them they disappear.
15:10 RainyDayRecess :D
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Perhaps they exist only in the dreams of trains.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Rainy, anything from culling and finding sponsors?
15:13 RainyDayRecess Well, I am still trying to contact sponsors, but still getting no response, I've also been looking at the data you've sent me and have noticed that the ads are working for them ;)
15:14 RainyDayRecess But I still have notecards to send and a few other ideas
15:15 RainyDayRecess That's all, sorry ;)
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, good. The data Rainy mentioned includes plots of the distribution of touches per week from the beginning of 2016 through 05/13.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen (thats for each sponsor)
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen A touch signifies that someone touched the adboard and received a notecard.
15:17 Kara2016 touchy system
15:17 RainyDayRecess :D
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Indeed.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen If we don't find sufficient sponsors, I may put in other pictures and notecards; perhaps a bit of Vogon poetry, for example.
15:19 Phrynne Augh! Not the Vogon poetry!
15:19 Kara2016 smiles brighly.
15:19 Agatha Macbeth Will you throw them off the sim afterwards?
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've been working a bit more on the build for SL14B.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Those interested in how that's coming along can visit it on the east coast of SouthEnd.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got a new version of the tool several of us use to keep track of who's on Oxbridge when we're inworld but not there.
15:23 Phrynne It is *very* helpful.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oxbridge accounts are current as of today with about 284k $L in the account. Next 74.5k $L tier payment is due in July.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got weekly avatar statistics data going out to various deans.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Think that's it for my week.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Open for questions.
15:26 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chirp chirp
15:26 Zulkarnyn Hello
15:27 Zulkarnyn I have a lot of responsibility
15:27 Doc (doctorbarnstable) I came to listen and learn.
15:27 Zulkarnyn And my first lesson
15:28 Zulkarnyn Who can ask my questions
15:29 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Just as a note. Tuesday night will have a dance in the new southend swamp. NC to go out later today in the ISC, COU student Union, and Caledonian Nights groups.
15:29 Kara2016 YYaayy!!
15:29 Doc Great !
15:29 Doc So you say you needed your grass stamped down, Andrea ?
15:30 Andrea Jones no the gaters do that for me
15:30 Andrea Jones Wordsmith will be right back
15:30 Phrynne Word's connection is flaky again.
15:31 Andrea Jones Mr Zulkaryn. You ask your questions.
15:31 Agatha Macbeth His chair has a better one apparently
15:32 Doc I think that I can hear a certain kind of language coming over the aether .
15:32 Andrea Jones I have almost finished the remembrance build in the Oxbridge Village. I will be sending out notices in the usual groups once construction is finally complete.
15:33 Andrea Jones I am afraind it is a rush job this year as I'm running behind
15:33 Phrynne Maybe you could say a little more about that, for the people who weren't here last y ear?
15:33 Andrea Jones Sure. the build is in two parts
15:33 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:34 Phrynne why remembrance, for instance
15:34 Phrynne welcome back, Word
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) The build is where you can go and leave amesage on a candle for those that you have lost
15:34 WhosOnSim HUD V2.0.0 (Oxbridge) WhosOnSim HUD V2.0.0
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks Phrynne.
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) either due to cancer, or someone you lost here in sl
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) thus the 2 sections
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) This year you can leave a notecard nthe candle
15:34 Doc (doctorbarnstable) That is nice.
15:35 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) to be given out to those that click on it
15:35 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) so If you have a story or memory that you want to share. you can
15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Questions?
15:36 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Clear.
15:36 Zulkarnyn I have my questions
15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ok
15:37 Zulkarnyn Hello first
15:37 Zulkarnyn I learned the beginning of this life here.
15:37 Zulkarnyn &
15:38 Zulkarnyn I think I will find the answers to the questions I can not find in this training
15:38 Zulkarnyn is t true?
15:39 Zulkarnyn am I wrong?
15:39 Zulkarnyn This is my first lesson
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen There is the tutorial on the Oxbridge sim itself that explains many things.
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen There are the classes that we have and that other organizations have.
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen There are the tutors at Oxbridge who can answer many questions.
15:41 Zulkarnyn My priority is to find out what I can not do here
15:41 Zulkarnyn &
15:41 Zulkarnyn e.g
15:41 Phrynne That depends a bit on where you are in Second Life.
15:41 Wordsmith Jarvinen There are different rules in different parts of Second Life.
15:42 RainyDayRecess You mean as far as behavior here in Caledon?
15:42 Zulkarnyn 1 minute to change a tshirt in real life
15:42 Wordsmith Jarvinen Some, like with movies, depend on whether the sim is rated general, moderate, or adult.
15:42 Zulkarnyn But it takes 1 day here
15:42 Zulkarnyn Do I get answers to these kinds of questions?
15:43 Phrynne It will not take that long to change clothes when you are more experienced
15:43 Doc (doctorbarnstable) The tutors helped me a great deal in that area.
15:43 RainyDayRecess I can help you Zulkarnyn
15:43 Zulkarnyn For experience, we need to learn
15:44 Zulkarnyn Will I be able to answer these kinds of questions?
15:44 Zulkarnyn Am I in the wrong place?
15:44 Zulkarnyn That was a simple question
15:45 RainyDayRecess I can take you down to the beginners place
15:45 Zulkarnyn And I think I will get this kind of trend here
15:45 Wordsmith Jarvinen Can we answer what you can or can't do here.
15:45 star (astarynite) not the wrong place ZUlkarynyn, but the best answers you seek are in the area of Caledon Oxbridge (92,198,28)
15:45 Wordsmith Jarvinen Some things are limited by the design of Second Life itself.
15:45 Zulkarnyn I'm listening
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen You can fly, you can teleport, but can't can't fly between disconnected places. You can teleport between them.
15:46 Phrynne You can walk under water, and with some help you can swim
15:46 Zulkarnyn Can we make editing or development in Sl and how?
15:47 Wordsmith Jarvinen You can create objects both inworld and in software offworld (and then upload them)
15:48 RainyDayRecess And you can script them if you know how ;)
15:48 Wordsmith Jarvinen Few things you see in Second Life were built by Linden Lab. Much more by those who came into SL.
15:48 Zulkarnyn If you ask me in the wrong place, would you give me the right person?
15:49 Doc (doctorbarnstable) I took the Introduction to Making class from Professor Samm Florian, last night.
15:49 RainyDayRecess Are you looking for a class?
15:49 Doc (doctorbarnstable) It should be held again next week.
15:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen Some things we know; somethings have to be searched up, because they are what someone else has created in their region of Second Life.
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen In general, Second Life is an environment for building and creating.
15:52 Phrynne It is also a place to meet people from different countries and cultures, and to create international communities.
15:53 badgerofzen also lots of weird stuff happening out there too ;)
15:53 RainyDayRecess ;D
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, by it's nature, Second Life removes the need to be physically in one place, while giving the impression that we are.
15:54 RainyDayRecess You mean I'm not really here?........
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions?
15:54 Holly (hollydeni) *gasp*
15:54 RainyDayRecess :D
15:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) FYI. There are free parachutes for those that want them just outside the doorway. They are in a box at the bottom of the landing on the right as you exit.
15:55 Kara2016 my existance is fake?..i am not real?
15:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen You are really in communication here.
15:55 Phrynne I'm not sure the parachutes are working, Andrea
15:55 Holly (hollydeni) ooops
15:55 Kara2016 laughing..here comes the sudden stop..
15:55 RainyDayRecess Uhhhh, that's not good
15:55 Agatha Macbeth Splat
15:55 RainyDayRecess :D
15:55 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) These are new chutes in a box. opposide of the landing from the old one.
15:56 Holly (hollydeni) minor technicality
15:56 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Freebies
15:56 Phrynne considers installing a trampoline underneath
15:56 RainyDayRecess Yay, thank you Andrea ;)
15:56 RainyDayRecess Hahahaha
15:56 Agatha Macbeth At least the lemmings won't complain
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Now one thing you can do here, is fall out of a place in the sky. Hit the ground, get up, brush yourself off, and be fine.
15:57 Agatha Macbeth Like Neo
15:57 badgerofzen hmm just thought of a new game zombie lemmings, time to start writing the code
15:57 Kara2016 no avatar can die in SL..not by a fall or sudenly running into a wall
15:58 Phrynne Or by being on fire.
15:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, if "damage" is turned on in a sim, you can "die", but that just teleports you to your home spot.
15:58 Phrynne had felt a little chilly
15:58 Kara2016 what a relef
15:58 Holly (hollydeni) lol
15:58 RainyDayRecess Quick, somebody get some marshmallows!
15:59 Agatha Macbeth always said Phrynne was hot
15:59 Phrynne lol
15:59 RainyDayRecess :D
15:59 Kara2016 practing those viking funerals again?
15:59 Phrynne You never know when Oxbridge will have an invasion of Vikings
15:59 Kara2016 laughing.
16:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well Agatha, Phrynne must be somebody's flame.
16:00 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) No one expects the Spanish inquisition.
16:00 Agatha Macbeth Indeed
16:00 Kara2016 giggles
16:00 Kara2016 oh what a show..
16:01 lovejoy2199 And you are already in the
16:01 lovejoy2199 'the comfy' chair.
16:01 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oh you want a show?
16:01 RainyDayRecess Hahaha
16:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, that's the hour
16:02 Kara2016 tome for tea?
16:02 RainyDayRecess Thank you Deans! :)
16:02 Agatha Macbeth Erk
16:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Time to adjourn
16:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Thank you for coming
16:02 Phrynne oh dear, there's a storm
16:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you all.
16:02 Kara2016 how did that happen?
16:03 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ok so i'm lagged out now
16:03 Phrynne I have a storm rose -- though I didn't think it was turned on
16:03 Doc (doctorbarnstable) Thank you Deans and Chancelor !
16:03 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) that's better
16:03 Phrynne it hasn't done that before; it usually thunders overhead and has a gentle rain
16:03 lovejoy2199 Smoke and mirrors.
16:03 Kara2016 lag
16:03 Phrynne Another example of things that can happen in SL
