15:02 Kara2016 *greetings, Gronk.
15:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Waves hi
15:02 Gronk Seriman Lovely! A 3.5 Dean Night!
15:02 Kara2016 3.5?
15:02 Agatha Macbeth A semidean?
15:03 Nikki (nikkivorsoisson) One is a vegetable?
15:03 Gronk Seriman Agatha Macbeth is an assistant dean.
15:03 Agatha Macbeth If Rainy was here we'd make four
15:03 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) And lovely Dean as such..
15:03 star (astarynite) a demi-dean
15:03 Kara2016 Giggles.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen She (Rainy) emailed that she's not likely to make it.
15:04 Ember Elliot (emberell) Dean-to-be
15:04 Agatha Macbeth Aww
15:04 Agatha Macbeth Maybe we need a James Dean?
15:04 Phrynne We could always use a James Dean
15:04 Gronk Seriman Although the .5 designation is not a reflection on how much I appreciate her sevice to our community.
15:04 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Home, James....
15:04 Phrynne lol
15:04 Ember Elliot (emberell) WE requested one ages ago, but I think we were Deanied
15:05 Phrynne winces
15:05 Agatha Macbeth pokes Gronky
15:05 Kara2016 ouch.
15:05 Ember Elliot (emberell) apologizes
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, Everyone. This is the Oxbridge Deans' weekly Q&A. It's an open meeting.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen First reports and then opened for questions.
15:07 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen (You give wakeup pokes, Ember?) ;)
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) She crashed
15:08 Agatha Macbeth :(
15:08 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) hi kara!
15:08 Kara2016 greetings Eva.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen What do you have for this week, Phrynne? (Dean of Commons)
15:09 Phrynne I've been helping out on the Plaza and elsewhere -- and planting mushrooms.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Fairy rings? we have a underhill?
15:09 Phrynne Not yet. I'm working on that.
15:10 Phrynne But the one behind me has a nice animation on it, restful and lounging.
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not the type that explode into being or not being?
15:10 Phrynne However, if you run your cursor over it, you won't find it easily because it doesn't have the symbol for a sit animation.
15:10 Kara2016 smiles.
15:11 Lady Sumoku Sneaky mushrooms are sneaky
15:11 Phrynne I have written to the creator, who is still inworld, asking if there is an updated version or an animation improvement.
15:11 Phrynne She's away for a few days but I hope to hear when she comes back.
15:12 Phrynne I've also been growing the ivy on buildings and such.
15:12 Lady Sumoku If it is editable, you should be able to change the default touch to "sit"
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oh that sounds nice
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) loks to climb them soon
15:12 Lady Sumoku (If that's what you wanted)
15:12 Phrynne It is modify and copy.
15:12 Phrynne so something may be possible.
15:13 Phrynne It's a very comfortable position -- the position doesn't need to be fixed, only the sit symbol needs to show up
15:13 Phrynne which is not something I have had time to deal with
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen If it's modifiable you can set sit targets and the like.
15:14 Phrynne Anyway, wanted to let you all know you could stretch out on this kind and dangle your feet
15:14 Gronk Seriman The it wouldn't be so sneaky.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen So it's editable but is it edible?
15:14 Phrynne I haven't tried
15:14 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) I have come across mushrooms in Caledon that were not quite safe to eat.
15:15 Phrynne I did think of finding a giant caterpillar with a hookah and asking him
15:15 Agatha Macbeth WB Ember
15:15 Phrynne but could not find one
15:15 Ember Elliot (emberell) thanks
15:15 lovejoy2199 LOL...LOL
15:15 Phrynne And that's all I have
15:15 Agatha Macbeth Feed your head
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Phrynne.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?

15:26 Agatha Macbeth Slow but sure
15:27 Agatha Macbeth A bit like the NFL, nothing much really happens til the end
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Agatha, is coordinating donations for the Advent Calendar.
15:27 Agatha Macbeth flutters her eyelashes
15:27 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty
15:28 Agatha Macbeth Donations welcome :)
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, my activities.
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen Working with Tasha, we've gotten the "Explore the Steamlands" posters updated.
15:29 Agatha Macbeth Yay
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen The notecard it gives no links to places that still exist.
15:30 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Working with Rainy, the ad panels and boards are getting updates. Rainy is now adept at entering the materials and making entries in the configuration file. I changed te scripting to allow up to 3 notecards.
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen The panels (3 rows) in front of the lecture hall are mesh with 5 display faces per prim.
15:32 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) Nice.
15:33 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) wb phrynne
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen With some room to spare on them, we're giving slots for the tutors who are there are lot. Elfbiter now has his writer's meeting up for example. We've also put up one for Phyrnne's En Garde.
15:34 Lady Sumoku Welcome back!
15:34 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) On a related note of the Steamlands. You may have heard that Cala Mondrago is gone. It does not look right now that it will be coming back in it previous form. But should it not come back, it has been rebuilt before and will be rebuilt again. Funds and plans are already in place to build anew should the owner not be able to save it in time.
15:35 Lady Sumoku Yes, it will be back, just a matter of how long.
15:35 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Nods
15:35 star (astarynite) There are plans to build something special and Cal is very excited about it, but tight lipped
15:35 Agatha Macbeth WB Phrynne
15:36 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) Big changes often spark creativity.
15:36 Phrynne thank you -- total crash and computer reboot
15:36 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:36 Agatha Macbeth Oy >.<
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen No fun there.
15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I don't know about tuesday night yet.I have not contacted a dj yet.
15:37 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Had to do that to get here myself
15:37 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) firestorm would not logg out
15:37 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and shut down
15:38 Wordsmith Jarvinen Just to get a base point on Mondrago, I was able to capture the old terrain and the parcel setup while it was up for two days. I've no idea if that will be useful, but it exists. It's not difficult to go from having the terrain to rolling out a raw file that an owner can use to set the terrain in SL.
15:39 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Just a note. I'm looking for a photographer for the COU Fundraiser.
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen Star, do you want to mention what you're putting out?
15:41 star (astarynite) yes, I put a Box by the exit, in it are different books about the people places and things of Caledon, you can rez the book on the ground or right click it in inventory click attach to HUD and choose Center and look at it on your screen,
15:42 star (astarynite) If you are not in the books I am gladd to add to one or create another if you have a pic of your self or anything of interest in Caledon
15:42 star (astarynite) also
15:43 star (astarynite) Regarding Relay, today was the roundup and , Team ACTS which Caledon is a part of, Came in 2nd place in Offline donations and 3rd place in fundraising in the SL total.
15:43 Agatha Macbeth Woot
15:43 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Did you ask Tasha for pictures?
15:43 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Well great! Claps Thank you Star for your hard work on the books.
15:43 star (astarynite) that is significant since SL is the 17th largest donor in the world (including corporations) as of 2016
15:43 star (astarynite) yw Andrea
15:43 star (astarynite) and I would be thrilled for more pics
15:44 Kara2016 Hugs Star.
15:44 star (astarynite) I have a new book creator and the pages rez almost as fast as they are turned
15:44 Phrynne cool!
15:44 star (astarynite) if you need books please let me know
15:45 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) now I really need a photographer for the Fundraiser.
15:45 Ember Elliot (emberell) star, could you hand me a copy of the books? I'm on Lumya here and I have no clue what I'm doing, hehe
15:45 Wordsmith Jarvinen We've got a few
15:45 star (astarynite) sure
15:45 star (astarynite) np
15:45 Ember Elliot (emberell) thanks!
15:46 star (astarynite) the boxes need to be opened before attatching to HUD center
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen Open for more general questions.
15:46 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) very creative! Congrats,
15:47 Lady Sumoku Is there a pattern to the oxbridge visits that aren't class-related? Time of day sort of thing?
15:48 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Aside from trolls when there is high school holiday?
15:48 Lady Sumoku That's pretty much universal.
15:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen It lightens up a bit during U.S. off hours but never goes to zero.
15:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've got to catch up on statistics processing and can fill you in. We capture considerable data.
15:50 Lady Sumoku nods.
15:50 Mαԃԃιʂσɳ Gԋσʂƚɾαʋҽɳ (xxmaddisynxx) is there a holiday or something now please?
15:51 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) School is still out in most of the US
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen But many will be starting within a couple of weeks.
15:51 Phrynne It won't start again till late August or early September
15:52 Mαԃԃιʂσɳ Gԋσʂƚɾαʋҽɳ (xxmaddisynxx) Ok thank you I am getting lunatics from all sides at the moment maybe that explains why present company excluded of course is about the only sane refuge ;)
15:53 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) We try to make it sane
15:53 Lady Sumoku Yes, an influx of bored people.
15:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen Late summer there are those who become bored.
15:53 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) schools in Arizona and Nevada start this week
15:53 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) many of them
15:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen Or summer hasn't yielded all they hoped and they are looking for a way to vent frustrations.
15:54 Caissa McCarey (lorelai.mccarey) ours starts the 16th
15:54 Nikki (nikkivorsoisson) Or someone bought them a laptop for school
15:54 Mαԃԃιʂσɳ Gԋσʂƚɾαʋҽɳ (xxmaddisynxx) it's just what i call the oddball crew seems to go in cycles
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes. We've had problematic avatars that would predictably show up on school breaks.
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions?
15:56 Lady Sumoku It's a grid-wide thing, people with nothing to do trying to fill time while they still have it.
15:57 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) I need to go -- RL calls again.
15:57 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Bye beth
15:57 Beth Cooper-Pentewyn (beth.pentewyn) thank you all
