| 15:00 |
RainyDayRecess |
I have them now Word |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
She might raise a little hell from time to time also. |
| 15:01 |
RainyDayRecess |
But that's what we love about her ;P |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And ty, Kara. Much appreciated. |
| 15:01 |
Sandie Harbour |
I do raise that much really |
| 15:02 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:02 |
RainyDayRecess |

| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, so Andrea just IMed me she's not able to make it. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So...... |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This meeting is open to all, unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted on the web subsequent to the meeting. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, have anything for today? |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
We are 10 days into the Advent Calendar, with two weeks to go! |
| 15:05 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And I'm as interested and surprised at what is in it as you are -- I know some of what was donated, but not everything, and I didn't wrap the boxes this year. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I think Agatha Macbeth is doing a great job at finding things that are useful, fun and interesting. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Also -- our boxes are available for anyone every day once they're put out, so if you miss a day you can go back and get what you missed. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I understand most other places don't do that. |
| 15:07 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Not many, no. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And that's all from me, for now. |
| 15:07 |
Harry Dresden (redrakesun) |
what day do they disappear? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I will pull them and take down the relevant signs and so on Dec. 31 |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Up through 31 Dec. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Holiday decorations overall come down after Jan. 6. |
| 15:08 |
Harry Dresden (redrakesun) |
I won't wait till after the last minute this year |
| 15:09 |
Gronk Seriman |
That's a lot of luminaria to snuff out. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One never knows the state of SL at the last minute. |
| 15:09 |
|
Phrynne has a good candle snuffer |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I suppose we could make a film. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
Um. No. |
| 15:10 |
Kara2016 |
Giggles. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Luminaria snuffing is a private matter |
| 15:10 |
Harry Dresden (redrakesun) |
oh good someone who actually realizes the Xmas season ends on Epiphany |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
G-rated, but private. Similar to what Heinlein said about writing.. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
Yes, after the traditional 12 Days of Christmas, or the later traditional date for Yule |
| 15:11 |
Harry Dresden (redrakesun) |
and that you should wash your hands afterward |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
Well, that's Heinlein for you. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, a bit on financials in the absence of Andrea. |
| 15:12 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Instructor stipends are paid through yesterday. |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Next tier isn't due until after the first. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Current balance is 279k $L, which is bring us close to break even for this quarter, a little down over the last two quarters. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea's planning a winter fundraiser on Saturday the 16th. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Advent Calendar is very definitely making an increase in Oxbridge's visitor traffic. |
| 15:16 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Most are well-behaved |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's a new navigation button on the Oxbridge website. it's name "statistics". |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That takes you to here: http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't have that (yet) where it shows pretty plots, but you can see the data. It's definite increased from the last full week in November when looking at last week. |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, the description of the various fields is at the top of the main page. |
| 15:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nice! |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's it for me, Rainy you had something? |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
The pin should be ready this week, lots of textures included and a big thanks to Sandie, she was kind enough to test out the tutorial ;) so just about finished, I still have to organize the folders and put them into the rez-box, plus I made some last minute changes ;) |
| 15:22 |
RainyDayRecess |
That's it from me |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Rainy. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Lady Sumoku is back from Europe, will resume teaching basic scripting, but have the class staying at 12pm SLT. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, open for general questions and comments. |
| 15:26 |
Soup Jonson |
Whom is in charge of the journal connected to Caledon The Guardian |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right now, it's rather in limbo. I don't have and editor and haven't been able to stretch further myself. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If there are minor problems, I can fix those. |
| 15:28 |
Soup Jonson |
i had hoped to pen a favorable review of the wonderful theater experience I had this afternoon |
| 15:28 |
Soup Jonson |
At Caledon II |
| 15:28 |
Soup Jonson |
What a wonderful play |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Go ahead and pen it and I'll get it up. |
| 15:28 |
Soup Jonson |
TY Chancellor |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It would be nice to have that. |
| 15:29 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Putting something written already isn't so much the problem as being able to keep a stream of article going up by twisting arms of potential writers. |
| 15:32 |
Kara2016 |
Writing is an art form. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? Comments? |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or a craft, two different philosophies. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Note the emblem on the back of my chair. ;) |
| 15:34 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I still host the Writers' Meeting.... |
| 15:34 |
Kara2016 |
black smith and anvil. |
| 15:34 |
Soup Jonson |
I like that emblem yes a craft amazing. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And letters being hammered into shape. |
| 15:34 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*chuckles* |
| 15:35 |
Kara2016 |
,..looks at Star.. |
| 15:35 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
That's a fairly old emblem, Word. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And yes, Thursdays at 11am SLT, Elfbiter hosts a right workshop, which is also listed on the ad-panel in front of the lecture hall. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gandalf paraphrased. 300 lives of pens I've written in this world, and now I'm out of rhyme. |
| 15:37 |
Phrynne |
*writing workshop |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |

| 15:39 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
I do have to say that I'm very happy this place still exists. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nice comfortable setting, out of the snow .... |
| 15:40 |
star (astarynite) |
As Soup mentioned the play was today and there will be a repeat in January |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It exists by the will and support of the community. |
| 15:40 |
RainyDayRecess |
COU is one of the best places to be ;) |
| 15:41 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Then I should be thanking all of you for keeping an old memory of mine alive. It does not go unappreciated. |
| 15:41 |
star (astarynite) |
And my Bakery is decorated for Christmas, please ask for a lm and feel free to stop by and bring friends and hang out |
| 15:41 |
star (astarynite) |
Sorry for interrupting |
| 15:42 |
Soup Jonson |
Never apologize for mentioning Baked goods mmmm |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And it works by the efforts of many who give time to it, those such as Phrynne, Elf, Gronk, Rainy, Star, and more who aren't here today. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Bakery will soon be replacing haunted domains on the ad-panels. |
| 15:43 |
RainyDayRecess |
