Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome all. Waiting just a minute or two to see if Andrea comes inworld. |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Might as well do the tee-up, however. |
| 15:02 |
Soup Jonson |

Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome unless individual mis-behavior warrants a reconsideration. Transcripts are posted after the meeting (I'm just no good at having them before). http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |

| 15:04 |
Soup Jonson |

| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oxbridge's Admin staff are listed at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/admin.php just in case you're curious. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ahh. Good. An Andrea cloud. |

Advent Calendar is continuing to draw many more people than usual to Oxbridge. All boxes that have been put out are available to you until the 31st. |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
waves back |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Most people visiting are polite, or in a hurry; a couple have been confused, but not a lot of problems. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
We continue to have newcomers in the midst of this, as well as people with questions about clothing or other matters. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
And that's about it for me. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) sends Andrea tar medicine and sauna vibrations |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nothing major wrong, just pain that keeps me from concentrating much. sleep is preferred. |

RainyDayRecess |

| 15:11 |
Soup Jonson |
:( |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Given the lateness of the month. Not really planing to do much of anything. |
| 15:11 |
Gronk Seriman |
Sleep is always good. |
| 15:12 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly for Andrea |

Phrynne |

| 15:13 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yay! |
| 15:13 |
RainyDayRecess |
It might need some changes along the way, but it's done ;D |
| 15:13 |
Soup Jonson |
Alright Rainy! |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great work. |

RainyDayRecess |
Including a tutorial |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you ;) |
| 15:14 |

Wordsmith Jarvinen Listens, in case a pin drops. |
| 15:14 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:14 |
Soup Jonson |
Yes! I love when he does that |
| 15:15 |

Gronk Seriman wishes she had a bowling alley strike sound clip to play right now. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
At last weeks Q&A, I noted a new page with selected visitor data. Since then I've put together a prototype visualization that will work for the various histograms. [Since updated select a file after using this link.] Statistics Page |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's done with Javascript and the D3 visualization library so if you have disabled javascript you're going to not see much. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Having figured out how to do one plot, the rest will follow easily. |
| 15:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
Very nice! |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's about it for me, so open for other comments and questions. |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
raises hand |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Oh, Star is a corrected version of the #17 skybox up? |
| 15:21 |
star (astarynite) |
Poppy is working on it now |
| 15:21 |
star (astarynite) |
It will be up soon |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(The skybox gift initially out this morning had a mesh floor that only had a probability of being solid) |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy? |
| 15:22 |
Gronk Seriman |
oops |
| 15:23 |
RainyDayRecess |
It can wait until they are done |
| 15:24 |
|
Wordsmith Jarvinen Wonders who the mysterious "they" are. |
| 15:24 |
RainyDayRecess |
Fine, How do you disable Javascript? |
| 15:25 |
Captain Thunder (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Depends on your browser. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's a browser option. |
| 15:25 |
RainyDayRecess |
Oh, okay, thank you |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Exact setup depends on the browser. Generally a check box |
| 15:25 |
Soup Jonson |
rainy! |
| 15:25 |
Soup Jonson |
YAY! (yay!) |
| 15:25 |
RainyDayRecess |
Under the settings? |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
Or preferences |
| 15:26 |
star (astarynite) |
I think it is in your browser top right perhaps in settings |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Often under security. |
| 15:26 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ah, okay |
| 15:26 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you ;) |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:27 |
Gronk Seriman |
How is the Tutorial translation coming along? Are we to a point where Alpha version can be rolled out? |
| 15:27 |
star (astarynite) |
Is there a Caledon Christmas Ball |
| 15:28 |
Phrynne |
Tutorial translation is continuing, with Stereo Nacht working on the French translation. Jorge Serapis has been very hard at work in RL, which has kept him from finishing the Spanish translation, but it is in the plans. |
| 15:29 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
Which tutorials, pls? |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
Also, some work needs to be done by our Dean of Information, Lindal Kidd, on a few of the sign boards that are in order, but their numerical sequence is jumbled because they were added or improved at various times. She told me she plans to do this during the holiday break. |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
Garret, the Oxbridge tutorial that runs through half a dozen buildings. |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
The whole thing. |
| 15:30 |
Garret Black (pantau) |
Thank you |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
At this point, there are no General-rated help regions for people who speak either French or Spanish. |
| 15:31 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Or Turkish, apparently... |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
Gah! |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
The old help areas were closed for some reason or other, or the region was bought and the name kept but the purpose is not continuing. |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
We hope to be able to help newcomers with those languages when it is done. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The format will still be kiosks, but with added flags to select the non-English presentations. |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
Are there any refugees from the old help areas that can help us go multilingual? |
| 15:33 |
Phrynne |
Not that I have met. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Portuguese area is still going strong and we have a good contact there for collaboration. |
| 15:35 |
Gronk Seriman |
I suppose asking SL for help on this is like asking a granite rock for help. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anyone aware of a "Caledon Ball"? |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
?? |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
no... |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
are you speaking of a social event or an object, Word? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Social event. |
| 15:37 |
|
Bookwyrm Undercroft chuckles at Phrynne's question |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There have been those in the past. Best bet would be to check the Aether Chrononauts Calendar. |
| 15:38 |
Caissa McCarey (lorelai.mccarey) |
there was something about a midwinter ball on the 20th |
| 15:38 |
Kara2016 |
its almost Christams..coming in fast. |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As fast as a polar express. |
| 15:39 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:39 |
Gronk Seriman |
I suppose keeping an eye on the Calendar may help.... |

ty Miss Gronk |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Looks like various smaller events. And this may be as much an indication of how tied up Des is these days (No, not that kind of tied up). |
| 15:42 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Heh. |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
how would we know? |
| 15:43 |
|
Gronk Seriman smirks |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
He could be wrapped up in tape and ribbon, packaging presents |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We, we wouldn't, merely that I wasn't implying such knowledge. |
| 15:43 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) chuckles slightly |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
"Hurt me, baby! and make me write bad checks!" |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:44 |
Kara2016 |
giggles. |
| 15:44 |
|
Soup Jonson looks up |
| 15:45 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Oh Gronk. That was so bad. |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
I denounce myself. |
| 15:45 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Is saddened to hear pf the passing of Dana. A good friend has been lost. |
| 15:45 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh, no. |
| 15:46 |
star (astarynite) |
danaGS? |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elf, Gronk, Caissa, anything from the tutor side? |
| 15:46 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes. Mike just announced that on the COUG group. |
| 15:46 |
star (astarynite) |
oh no |
| 15:47 |
RainyDayRecess |
I can't believe it |
| 15:47 |
Gronk Seriman |
It's been smooth and quiet when I'm here. Just watching people darting to the Advent gifts. |
| 15:47 |
Kara2016 |
oh, no. She was a nice Lady. |
| 15:47 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Business as usual in the Plaza most of the time. More snowflake particles... |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, I added the bonfire next to the sitting circle and falling snow. |
| 15:48 |
Bookwyrm Undercroft |
Every potential scholar is a special, unique snowflake, just like everyone else. |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And I intend to host the next Writers' Meeting in the 21st |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
You can't imagine the wonder furniture people come up with to sit around the bonfire. |
| 15:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good to know. |
| 15:49 |
Gronk Seriman |
*wonderful |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:50 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Well my cat and I appreciate the fire placed out. |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(smiles) at Cal. |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And for those of you who didn't know her. Caladon Rae has returned to us after three years away. She was here when Oxbridge first opened and was being run in collaboration with NCI. |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
wb Cal. |
| 15:52 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) looks rather surprised at the introduction. |
| 15:52 |
RainyDayRecess |
Welcome back :) |
| 15:52 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Two years, but who's counting? |
| 15:52 |
|
star (astarynite) grins |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And with that |
| 15:53 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:53 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It seem time |

Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |

| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(I'm giving people time to come up with some last something) |
| 15:54 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Carriages? |
| 15:54 |
|
Phrynne tries to get the tape away from her cat, who is tangling it with the ribbon |
| 15:54 |
Soup Jonson |
Good meeting as always |
| 15:54 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
(Yeah, and I'm just messing with you. You know me better than that) |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks you all for coming and participating. |
