Hi Agatha ;) |
| 15:00 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hello :) |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Greetings, Miss Agatha. (indicates safe on base) |

Agatha Macbeth grins |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' (mostly) weekly Q&A. This is an open meeting for which transcripts are posted. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phryne, got anything for this week? |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
Actually, yes |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
When I was growing up in RL, there was a local small college about a century old, and it had very little money so it ran a dairy as well-- the cattle grazed on the athletic fields (which must have been fun at times) and the dairy sold milk, butter and ice cream. |
| 15:04 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:) |
| 15:04 |
RainyDayRecess |
:) |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Oxbridge is in considerably better financial shape than that college was, but I though a little agriculture wouldn't hurt us -- so I've planted grapevines on both sides of the Entry Hall. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And shoe cleaning? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Probably. |
| 15:05 |
RainyDayRecess |
Oh, nice ;D |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I'm anticipating the possibility of grape juice, wine and grape jelly. |
| 15:05 |
|
star (astarynite) grins |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
There are also now two nautiluses (nautili?) on the west grassland and two merbunnies and two red jellyfish on the central grassland. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
and I'm planting other flowers. |
| 15:06 |
|
star (astarynite) smiles |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Wouldn't want you to get bored. :) |
| 15:06 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Phrynne ;) |
| 15:06 |
|
star (astarynite) raises her hand |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm sure we can find some room in the nonexistent rum cache cellar for a few barrels of wine. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And I might set some jars of jelly in the Oxbridge Shop, when those are available. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Oh -- one other thing. |
| 15:07 |
|
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) raises her hand |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Tasha sent around a note but in case you haven't read it yet, some of the new newcomer outfits -- the angels and demons set -- come with weapons already in hand or the avatar already sitting on a horse. |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
Good to know |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Needless to say,newcomers don't know how to put away the weapons, or get off the horse and put it bac into inventory while they're in the Tutorial |
| 15:08 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
They're welcome to ride outside the buildings anywhere, though. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
'Edit Outfit' will deal with both of those situations. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
If you encounter someone with a weapon in hand who is very new, or on a horse in the tutorial, be kind and gentle while explaining how to put away what isn't allowed, okay? |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
They're already confused enough just by being in SL. |
| 15:10 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:10 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Yes that makes a lot of sense thank you. |
| 15:10 |
|
star (astarynite) raises her hand |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
It's also a good time to help them by answering other newcomer questions, like 'how do I change my display name' |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hannah did you have a question? |
| 15:11 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Yes, thank you sir. Are you accepting general questions or do you want to stick on the topic of new clothes? |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
General questions in a few minutes |
| 15:12 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
ok thank you, I had a general question so I will wait |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Star? |
| 15:12 |
star (astarynite) |
Regarding the grapes, I have some friends who are horses, they roam Caledon at large, bring riders around rider caledon for fun, and I have planted carrots and someone else has grapes, they sleep at Trilby's a lot, would there be enough for them to enjoy or would they get shooed away? |
| 15:12 |
star (astarynite) |
rider = and ride |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
I think there would be enough grapes -- though, again, the horses need to stay out of the buildings as much as possible. |
| 15:13 |
star (astarynite) |
they are very proper horses, they only come inside when invited |
| 15:13 |
star (astarynite) |
thanks |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
In the past we have had people attempting to race through despite the presence of other students, and that is a recipe for disaster. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well behaved we can likely deal with. |
| 15:14 |
|
star (astarynite) smiles |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
Horses are welcome everywhere in Caledon outside buildings |
| 15:14 |
star (astarynite) |
thanks |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
Actually, there is a dressage club somewhere in Second Life. They had a booth at SL14B. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The placement of the tutorial posters, however likely requires some ability to maneuver. |
| 15:15 |
star (astarynite) |
Equine I think it is |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
That is probably it |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
That's all I've got for today |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Agatha, anything to add on advent calendaring? |
| 15:17 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Still coming along sir |
| 15:18 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I'll have a bit more time in the next month |
| 15:18 |
Agatha Macbeth |
So will get in touch with a few people |
| 15:18 |
|
Agatha Macbeth smiles |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nods. Good. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, heard from any potential sponsors? |
| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
No, not really, Andrea and I are still working on a plan for the sponsors and patrons, I just have to get with her again. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, good. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've paid tier for another 13 weeks leaving about 230k $L in the account with a couple of weeks of instructor stipends to catch up on. |
| 15:21 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's pretty much the way it stood a quarter ago, so we've pretty much broken even. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've learned a bit on working with the Blender Python interface (aka API) and was able to extract animation info for the horse Rainy has made (which is currently rezzed at Southend where I had the SL14B build before). |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Star, next weekend is RFL? |
| 15:26 |
star (astarynite) |
yes it is, a very, very large 32 SIm event, with a Relay Race and lots of activities & fantastic builds |
| 15:27 |
star (astarynite) |
Caledon is represented in the Steamlands Area |
| 15:27 |
star (astarynite) |
If you happen to have a personal picture or a pic of any of the SIMs I would love to include them in the books about Caledon |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And Star deserves some credit for putting together information as inworld books. |
| 15:28 |
star (astarynite) |
thanks for your help Word and all the people who have contributed |
| 15:28 |
|
Agatha Macbeth applauds |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you so much Star ;D |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay!! |
| 15:28 |
star (astarynite) |

| 15:28 |
star (astarynite) |
thanks |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In any case, I'll be traveling to a conference next Sunday and a Q&A would be in competitions with RFL. I'll leave it to the remaining deans to decide whether or not to hold one. If so, somebody please get a transcript to me. |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
Sure thing ;) |
| 15:30 |

| 15:31 |
star (astarynite) |
so easily overlooked |
| 15:31 |
RainyDayRecess |
Awwww |
| 15:31 |
RainyDayRecess |
I was only trying to thank |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The donations go to paying tier, minimal stipends to instructors for classes taught, and a bit to plants now and again. |
| 15:32 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |

Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
RomanRoy gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne may be worth a bit more, as she makes the place noticeably pretty. |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
thank you! |
| 15:35 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Woot |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for general questions. |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
I am trying to make small changes each week -- so look around. |
| 15:35 |
star (astarynite) |
I see them |
| 15:35 |
star (astarynite) |
it is noticeable and beautiful |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hannah? |
| 15:36 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Ah yes, thank you sir |
| 15:37 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
I had a general question on SL viewers. |
| 15:37 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Thank you. Is there any support in or for SL viewers for Right to Left languages? I am using the latest Firestorm for Windows (5.0.7.52912) and when I try to type in Hebrew or paste Hebrew text into the viewer, it shows up left to right. The individual characters appear correctly, they just appear in the wrong order, as if "Hello" were instead printed "olleH". |
| 15:37 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Good question! |
| 15:38 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yes it is |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
Stumped me! |
| 15:38 |
star (astarynite) |
a transloator may, but you would have to type it in to get it back right |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
I have no idea. |
| 15:39 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Some people have told me that there is no support and probably never will be, others have told me that the support has been there for a long time and implied that I just needed to install some pack or something. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm not away of any obvious setting for that, which doesn't mean that there may not be a method. |
| 15:39 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
My OS supports Hebrew just fine, it's just when I go in SL that it messes up. |
| 15:39 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Surprise surprise :p |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right. And translators have that problem also (I almost typed trashlators, which may be more accurate for right to left languages.) |
| 15:41 |
star (astarynite) |
lol |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll see if I can find anything on the topic. |
| 15:41 |
Agatha Macbeth |
You could try asking the question in Firestorm group chat maybe |
| 15:42 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Others may have had the same issue |
| 15:43 |
Hannah Bluemood Utherwurldly (hannah.bluemood) |
Thank you. I'm not trying to translate Hebrew, just trying to get it to show up correctly. |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right. |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One place to look is at the SL project viewers. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |

I am not sure to understand what is " Realy for Life in Second Life |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It is a fundraiser for cancer research. |
