14:58 RainyDayRecess Hello everyone ;)
14:59 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hello, Rainy. Glad you could make it.
14:59 RainyDayRecess Thanks Word, good to see you ;)
14:59 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
14:59 Soup Jonson Rainy
15:00 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) quickly throws a snowball at Soup, then quietly whistles.
15:00 RainyDayRecess Hi Soup, how are you doing?
15:00 Soup Jonson lol Cal
15:01 Soup Jonson I'm ok just am wanting the weekend to end cause of having to go work
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen No sign of Andrea yet, but time to get started.
15:01 RainyDayRecess I understand
15:01 Soup Jonson But if elf can do it
15:02 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) That whole Monday thing. Too bad we can't just skip to Tuesday, except of course, when it's a 3 day weekend or a snow day.
15:02 Soup Jonson Oh Persephoe is here
15:03 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) Hide your chocolate. :D
15:03 Soup Jonson lol
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome except when individual misbehavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.
15:03 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Professor Brennan (professorjack) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, what have ye for this week?
15:03 Phrynne I have a couple of things.
15:04 Phrynne First, please welcome our new apprentice tutor, Caladon Rae.
15:04 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Batista Corleone (batistacorleone) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:04 RainyDayRecess Yay!
15:04 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) gives Phrynne that look and smiles.
15:04 Soup Jonson Welcome
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty Batista, much appreciated.
15:04 Gronk Seriman Congratulations!
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen If Phrynne didn't welcome you to the ranks, Cal, I would have.
15:05 Phrynne Sorry! -- I ww'd
15:05 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) Could be worse.
15:06 Phrynne And second, I want to send my deep thanks to Agatha Macbeth for serving as Assistant Dean of Commons in charge of the Advent Calendar in 2017. As Dean, I'm awarding her an Oxbridge seal pin in recognition of and thanks for her work.Sorry --
15:06 Phrynne (lastword is typeover from ww; please ignore it)
15:06 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) chuckles.
15:06 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) The advent is always awesome :D
15:06 RainyDayRecess Yay!
15:07 Phrynne Agatha did a great job with the Calendar, and I am very happy that she took it over. She has said that one year is enough, so I will be looking for someone else for 2018. If you're interested, please talk to me.
15:07 Phrynne (later)
15:07 Phrynne And that's all for now.
15:07 Phrynne looks back at Word
15:10 Bottle of Caledon Cola Ah! Caledon Cola, delicious and refreshing!
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Most of what I've been involved in is in progress things. Collect data from emails to pay another round of instructor stipends, getting last weeks Q&A transcript up (I try to put out a notice on those), learning more on the Blender-Python interface (has implications for the horse/carriage), reading a bit on mesh bodies and appliers.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, open for questions.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything?
15:13 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) I missed the attack last week. Someone want to give me a TL;DR rundown on it?
15:13 Kara2016 ??
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen On the library?
15:14 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) Yes.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne you were here during it.
15:14 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) (I missed a lot last week. Crazy trip in RL)
15:14 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) Did we experience an invasion of bookworms?
15:15 Soup Jonson It is in the transcript too
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen To my knowledge it left over 500 non-replicating prims in the library.
15:16 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) Wow, someone was busy
15:17 Phrynne 550 of them, and many were nested inside each other, so if you got rid of one, that didn't make it any fewer visually
15:17 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) winces "Yikes. Okay."
15:17 Phrynne They also stuck through the walls and roof.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen And the transcripts are up at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:18 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) ....I didn't think of that, Word. Apologies.
15:18 Phrynne I called for assistance, since my dean powers don't carry over into the Library, and eventually two very kind Caledonians with library powers came and got rid of the objects.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is a place to ask questions. No apologies needed.
15:19 Phrynne Since then, the building has been locked down and most if not all of its contents are also locked down.
15:20 Phrynne And a 15-minute return time has been set -- any random boxes or wineglasses or whatever will be returned to their owners in 15 minutes.
15:20 Phrynne And I check on that daily to make sure there aren't a ton of extra things generating.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Unfortunately, that return time coupled with a LL initiated sim downtime, returned the COLT. I'll put it out again and see how long it lasts, but longer term need to put it on a rezzer and watcher the way the CATs are.
15:22 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) What's the colt?
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen It also made it clear that the auto-return works on clock time, not elapsed sim time.
15:23 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) (brb, human is needed)
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's the little airship that was circling Oxbridge and picking up riders behind the train station. COLT for Caledon Oxbridge Little Testship.
15:24 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) Oh, okay. Thank you. I finally figured out that the CAT was airships and not catgirls.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen We have both in Caledon. Yes, CAT for Caledon Air Transport.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions or comments?
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, and Andrea has the Winter Wonderland scheduled for the 27th as I recall.
15:26 lovejoy2199 brb...RL
15:26 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Writers' Meeting in the usual time.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen which is 11am on Thursdays and is announced.
15:27 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Yup
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen I briefly discussed with Deyinara Yalin the possibility of her teaching a "Building your way out of a pit" class.
15:29 Phrynne wonders if we need to stock shovels.
15:29 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) would sign up for that one!
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen She's still recovering from some holiday bug but I planted the idea.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen I thing you had made a comment on ISC relating to pits and building, Persephone.
15:30 Persephonē ״Pommie״ Ploutodotes (pommiegranate) lol!
15:31 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) (ok back)
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen Dey does require a class of at least 3 to teach.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen And welcome, Sandie.
15:31 Sandie Harbour smiles

15:34 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) tunes her ears. "Is that...crickets I'm hearing?"
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen then we are (pauses)
15:34 RainyDayRecess hehee

15:36 Phrynne g'night Mr. Elfbiter
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sandi, this one is for you.
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician are sitting in a street café watching people entering and leaving the house on the other side of the street. First they see two people entering the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three people leaving the house. The physicist says, "The measurement wasn't accurate." The biologist says, "They must have reproduced." The mathematician says, "If one more person enters the house then it will be empty.
15:37 Phrynne ??
15:37 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) *snorts*
15:37 Phrynne is not a mathematician
15:37 Sandie Harbour and they complain about my puns
15:38 Soup Jonson oh those puns of hers
15:38 Sandie Harbour see!
15:38 RainyDayRecess I'm off to fix my pin, see you all soon ;)
15:38 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) Bye Rainy!
15:38 Sandie Harbour whats the difference between a well dressed man in a tricycle and a poorly dressed man on a bicycle?
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't get stuck, Rainy
15:39 Sandie Harbour Attire!
15:39 Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) OHHHHH!
