14:57 RainyDayRecess Hi everyone ;)
14:58 RainyDayRecess Hi Elf ;)
14:58 Gronk Seriman I have mentioned my idea for an Avatar Show & Tell class. I made a notecard of the the beginnings of a welcome script.
14:58 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Greetings...
14:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Elf. wb. :)
14:58 RainyDayRecess That sounds great Gronk :)
14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes we have floor today (thanks to Ravelli)
14:59 lovejoy2199 Hello everyone
14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, as always, lovejoy. :)
15:00 lovejoy2199 And how are the 'pumpkins' today, Phrynne
15:00 lovejoy2199 LOL
15:00 RainyDayRecess waves to Lovejoy ;)
15:00 lovejoy2199 Hello Rainy
15:00 Phrynne The pumpkins are staying put in my inventory for now
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen No pumpkins today. Not here. None.
15:03 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) get a call from Linus and has to tell him that no, the Great One is not here.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. Transcripts will be posted later. One can arrive when one does.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, let's start with you.
15:04 Phrynne Autumn is coming, and Oxbridge will reflect the seasons in the northern hemisphere, apologies to anyone from the southern hemisphere.
15:05 RainyDayRecess yay
15:05 Phrynne The trees are turning colors, the flowers are changing, and more things will happen as I get time and energy.
15:05 Phrynne I am still working on copying quotations to put in a wishing well for Oxbridge -- the idea is that anyone can donate as little as 1L and get a notecard with a bit of wisdom on it -- or at least a few words by someone notable.
15:06 Phrynne I am also working on creating a labyrinth for Oxbridge that could go on a skybox overhead, with a teleporter to the ground. It will take a while to finish, but it should provide newcomers with some practice in not walking in straight lines.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Perhaps even a quote with a bit of snarky wiseassery.
15:06 Phrynne Yes -- I have some snarky quotes and hope to have more of them.
15:07 RainyDayRecess You're good at those Word ;)
15:07 Phrynne It's the end of summer, also, and with students going back to school I expect we will have more visitors in Oxbridge soon.
15:07 Phrynne And that's all.
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen On the financial side, we're in good shape. I sent Andrea and Rainy the financial transactions through this morning.
15:09 RainyDayRecess Thank you Word
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll review asap. been off line most of today.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I did a bit of Python scripting and got each record in our ...er ... administrative action data base with a UUID. And SL UUID if that could be found, and created UUID if it couldn't.
15:11 Phrynne That should be very useful.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen That database includes ban hammer events as well as some lower level notes.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'm working with stereo nacht to see what her October calender looks like.
