Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! Looks like a 2.5 Dean Night. |
| 14:59 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:00 |
Lady Sumoku |
Do Deans round up or down? |
| 15:01 |
RainyDayRecess |
Hehee |
| 15:01 |
|
Phrynne looks at self to see how round .... no, ignoring that. |
| 15:01 |
|
Gronk Seriman smirks |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Depends if we've been indulging in the lagnum in the Caledon motto. |
| 15:01 |
RainyDayRecess |
Cake? |
| 15:01 |
|
Phrynne will stick with being 'well-rounded' |
| 15:02 |
RainyDayRecess |
Did someone say Cake? |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
lagnum = cake. |
| 15:02 |
Phrynne |
and passes around a platter of brownies and cake |
| 15:02 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And here's Agatha. |

Hi Agatha ;) |
| 15:03 |
|
Gronk Seriman takes a piece of cake and adds a waffle. |

| 15:03 |
Fionn Bookmite |
What is the whole motto please? |
| 15:03 |
RainyDayRecess |
K ;) |
| 15:03 |
RainyDayRecess |
Civility, Tolerance and Cake? |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Tolerance, Civility, Innovation, Cake (in Latin) |
| 15:03 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ah, thank you |
| 15:04 |
Fionn Bookmite |
excellent |
| 15:04 |
Fionn Bookmite |
all the staples covered |
| 15:05 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D yep |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, have ye anything to mention this week as the month of Julius draws to a close? |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I can say that we have had some very nice newcomers coming through, and far fewer of the sort that cause disruption than in other years *knocks on wooden stage* |
| 15:06 |
RainyDayRecess |
yay |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Also that I am changing the seasonal flowers, from daisies to sunflowers and a few irises, and I am experimenting with a bush with fireflies. |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
Love the sunflowers Phrynne ;) |
| 15:07 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nice |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I'm very pleased with the sunflowers -- I can make them larger without the LI becoming astronomical. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Oh, you may also notice ivy starting to grow in a few places. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
I expect it will continue to grow and spread a bit. |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Poison? |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
:( |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
No, basic ordinary English ivy |
| 15:08 |
|
Lady Sumoku searches inventory for gloves. |
| 15:08 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! Nice! |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Whew |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I couldn't, unfortunately, get the kind that changes color in the fall -- I'd really like that, if anyone sees it anywhere inworld as a low LI mesh plant -- but this should be good. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I don't think poison ivy would work in SL, anyway. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
so don't worry about that. |
| 15:09 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Batman would agree |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Otherwise, I've been helping people at the Plaza and elsewhere. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
And that's about all. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty Phrynne. Agatha, anything on the advent calendar? |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
It's coming along sir |
| 15:10 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Slow but sure |
| 15:11 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I think the weather isn't really seasonal enough yet :P |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Need any recruiting or resources? |
| 15:11 |
Agatha Macbeth |
But we already have a few items |
| 15:11 |
|
Agatha Macbeth ponders |
| 15:12 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I think it's coming on OK thanks |
| 15:12 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Have been on to a couple more creators |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great. |
| 15:12 |
|
Agatha Macbeth smiles happily |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good work. |
| 15:12 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Thank you |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy? (sponsors and sponsor boards etc). |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
Andrea has some great ideas, so I still need to get with her.... |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
I'm still updating the ad boards, still learning how to do that ;) |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
And that's about it,, I'm still making new ads for sponsors and patrons |
| 15:15 |
Gronk Seriman |
Do Patrons still get the cool clock? |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
clock? |
| 15:15 |
RainyDayRecess |
Oh, there was a clock? |
| 15:15 |
RainyDayRecess |
We do need new 'incentives' |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, well worth watching for new things on the boards, including some images that have come out of Rainy's graphical skills. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. I've gotten a copy from Tali and will hopefully be getting some of those out this next week. |
| 15:16 |
Gronk Seriman |
There was a nifty Patron Clock. I forget who made it. A former Dean. |
| 15:17 |
Agatha Macbeth |
How is Tali? |
| 15:17 |
Gronk Seriman |
YEs, Tali! |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Oh, she made it? |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, along with the donation coins that speedup and lightup when fed. |
| 15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ohhh |
| 15:18 |
Lady Sumoku |
I miss the kraken ferry she had tooling about the canals for a while. |
| 15:18 |
Lady Sumoku |
Too much trouble with sim crossings. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, although the CATs are back and managing. |
| 15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
Awwww, I had no idea |
| 15:19 |
Lady Sumoku |
I still have the dock under my house in case it comes paddling back. |
| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
;D |
| 15:19 |
Lyn Navarita |
Will the carriages return? |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
Word is working on the scripts right now |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, working on the scripting. Rainy has done the horse and carriage body and animated the horse in Blender. |
| 15:20 |
Lyn Navarita |
Those were my first lovely SL experiences. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I have a copy of the horse rezzed on the east coast of Southend. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(just have to find someone to do the coconuts) |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:22 |
|
Tickles (tickleslitely) (smiles at Monty Python reference) |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
BTW, as good a time as any to announce that Lady Sumoku is joining us to help with some of the scripting. |
| 15:22 |
|
Phrynne applauds! |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay!!! |
| 15:23 |
Gronk Seriman |
Woohoo! |
| 15:23 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Woot |
| 15:23 |
Lady Sumoku |
Not promising it will be done any faster! |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Lady Sumoku! :D |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That could include a kracken ferry I suppose. |
| 15:23 |
Lady Sumoku |
But I'm hoping to distribute the load Word is carrying. |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
It'll be faster than you not helping, no worries ;) |
| 15:24 |
RainyDayRecess |
As Word told me once |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A scattered week for me. Some added RL tasks this week, downloading the Oxbridge Mint transcripts so that we avoid a gap, tier is paid until October, about 248 $L in the account, I have to catch up on instructor stipends, helping train Rainy on the ad boards. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, that's 248k $L. |
| 15:27 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:P |
| 15:27 |
|
Lady Sumoku laughs. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With tier about 74,500 $L per quarter and stipends roughly the same. |
| 15:28 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Gronk Seriman gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:28 |
Lady Sumoku |
"We've paid up through October, and have almost a dollar left." |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nope, in far better shape than that, and planning with Andrea Jones and Rainy to stay that way. |
| 15:29 |
Gronk Seriman |
That''s enough for a ramen noodle feast! |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which reminds me. One of the steamlands, Marikesh Mondrago has not been so lucky. The sim is currently offline for lack of payment to LL. They hold the weekly Chai me Up dances on Wednesdays. A fundraiser has been started to attempt to save the current sim and configuration and not have to rebuild from scatch. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
https://www.gofundme.com/save-marikesh-mondrago |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
Mondrago was created by people mostly from Caledon and Europa Wulfenbach, so it is helping people we know. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
Mondrago has hosted the Steamlands En Garde tournaments, as well as many, many dances and fun events. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And one of the parcel owners is the Commonwealth of Caledon. |
| 15:32 |
Lady Sumoku |
And many are still residents. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
yes |
| 15:33 |
|
Phrynne remembers dancing on a cloud over a coffeepot on the back of an elephant on a Mondrago float in the Mardi Gras parade. |
| 15:33 |
Agatha Macbeth |
0.0 |
| 15:34 |
Lady Sumoku |
As one does |
| 15:34 |
Phrynne |
No, I do not have photos. |
| 15:34 |
|
Phrynne coughs |
| 15:34 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The plan seems to be to name Callidus as the new magistrate, someone whom many of you have met at Andrea's events. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for questions. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hello, Eva. |
| 15:36 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
hello, Wordsmith! Hello Everyone. |
| 15:36 |
Eva Gaelle (jucastt) |
good afternoon |
| 15:37 |
|
Lady Sumoku waves |
| 15:37 |
Tickles (tickleslitely) |
I recently tried using the Exploration notecards from the Plaza - "Explore the Steamlands" etc. I found that a bit over a quarter of the links on those notecards are stale. Who is in charge of those? |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm working with Tasha (who is off this week) on updating that. We just got the exploring Caledon poster updated. |
| 15:39 |
Tickles (tickleslitely) |
Cool. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions, consternations, befuddlements? |
| 15:40 |
|
Lady Sumoku befuddles with the best ofthem. |
| 15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:41 |
Gronk Seriman |
How has traffic been through Oxbridge? I have spent a few lonely nights in the Plaza lately. |
| 15:41 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Aww |
| 15:41 |
Lyn Navarita |
Severe storm with hail here. logging out |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
It's the middle of summer and with good weather, we seldom get as many as when it rains and is cold. |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
I've seen some reasonable numbers at times when I've been here, and at other times I've been the only one around. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
Super quiet last night |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've downloaded the statistics files but haven't had a chance to process them. But I can let you know. We did lose a few days of data. Apparently the the sim software update that occurred on the 18th killed the monitor script. |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
owww |
| 15:43 |
Gronk Seriman |
darnit. |
| 15:43 |
Lady Sumoku |
It may not help that the Lindens' "Destinations" has just "Caledon" as Newcomer-friendly, instead of pointing at Oxbridge. |
| 15:43 |
Lady Sumoku |
Not that Caledon isn't newcomer-friendly... |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I was on travel at the time and didn't catch it until a couple of days after I was back. |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
I thought that link sent people to Oxbridge. I may be wrong. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Enough to let you know, however, since then. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think it does. It just says Caledon. |
| 15:45 |
|
Lady Sumoku checks |
| 15:46 |
Lady Sumoku |
Yes, it does. |
| 15:47 |
Gronk Seriman |
Good! |
| 15:47 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:47 |
Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) |
Lady Sumoku gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:48 |

Then paradoxically, since must of us are sitting, we stand adjourned. |

:) |
| 15:50 |
Lady Sumoku |
Aside from the beginning script classes, have there been any specific requests lately? |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcript captured. Squirmed a little, but we go it into the carrying box. |
| 15:50 |
Lady Sumoku |
Things people "want to do?" |
| 15:51 |
|
Phrynne hands the transcript a treat, which it gobbles down. |
| 15:51 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:51 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A number on understanding and using mesh clothing and appliers. |
| 15:51 |
|
Lady Sumoku looks at her system lapels and decides not to worry about that one. |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Getting my intro to mesh updated and running again. |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Finding some seminar givers who can't commit to a regular class but have something interesting to provide. |
| 15:55 |
Lady Sumoku |
That would be nice. Some "special events" |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've mentioned that a number of times. That could including presentation on mesh clothes, appliers. |
| 15:56 |
Gronk Seriman |
I have finally realized I will probably never get my Avatar Show & Tell class together. But I'll give what little work I've done to anybody who wants it. |
| 15:56 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
LL has made newbie clothing a headache, because the first thing many want to do is fiddle with their look. |
| 15:57 |
Lady Sumoku |
Or try to. |
| 15:57 |
RainyDayRecess |
That is the fun part though :D |
| 15:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With varied effects. |
| 15:57 |
Lady Sumoku |
The random mesh avatars were a terrible idea. |
| 15:57 |
RainyDayRecess |
Oh? |
| 15:57 |
Lady Sumoku |
No system to it. |
| 15:57 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ah, right |
| 15:57 |
RomanRoy |
Random Mesh? |
| 15:58 |
|
Phrynne recalls the very new mesh gargoyle, last year, who insisted on wearing a pink prim tutu |
| 15:58 |
Lady Sumoku |
They were all made by different people, to different specifications. |
| 15:58 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yeah, some of the new avi's that you can pick are mesh now with mesh clothing? |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
Yes, random mesh -- you couldn't take the clothes from one avi and wear them on another. |
| 15:58 |
Lady Sumoku |
Most of the new ones, if not all, I believe. |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
Some of the newer ones do not have that problem |
| 15:58 |
Phrynne |
and some of the more recent, not newest, are classic. |
| 15:58 |
RainyDayRecess |
I didn't think of that, but on the plus side, they are already wearing mesh ;) |
| 15:59 |
Lady Sumoku |
It's less of a plus if they rage-quit trying to change pants. |
| 15:59 |
Caissa McCarey (lorelai.mccarey) |
I haven't checked, but I imagine it makes shopping when they decide to try that into a bit of a nightmare |
| 15:59 |
Phrynne |
Yes -- but the alphas don't always work properly, so you have people with slightly disconnected legs, for instance. |
| 16:00 |
Lady Sumoku |
I can understand not wanting to "prefer" one vendor over another. |
| 16:00 |
Lady Sumoku |
And at the time, they really didn't have too many choices. |
| 16:00 |
RainyDayRecess |
I should see what they have so I know how to help them |
| 16:00 |
Lady Sumoku |
But that speaks more about how ready they were to push that. |
