Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This is an open meeting, all are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise. A transcript will be posted after the meeting (I don't predict the future well.) |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne? |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have several things to share today. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
As you may know, the Caledon Quest is down for repairs. I have been testing the revised version for Dean Emeritus Marion Questi, who built it, and I've sent him my notes on things that I think could use a tweak. I hope it will be back up in a week or so, and I will send out an announcement in COU and COUG when it is |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I have put some of the gifts from the Advent Calendar in the boxes in the Railroad Station, adding extra things to boxes that were already there and changing the hovertext to show that there are items from more than one year. I'm not done yet, so more will come. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
With the warmer weather coming, you may notice some of the snowmen being a bit shorter than they were. I am starting to look at spring flowers for Oxbridge. Possibly some chickens as well, or bunnies, if I can find what I want. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And, last but far from least, I am working on updating the Faculty Info Kit that every staff member gets. If you know of places that offer help for new avatars in languages other than English that are NOT on the current notecard, please put the LM and some info on a notecard and send it to me, and I will check it out and if possible include it. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
And that's it for today. |
| 15:07 |
|
Phrynne folds her hands and looks back at Word. |
| 15:08 |
Kara2016 |
smiles brightly. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Marion seems to be right on getting the Quest up again. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea, I'm sure you have a bit to discuss today. ;) |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We had a very good turnout for the Winter Ball last night. We had over 30 people to attend with a max count at one time of 25. The sim stayed stable which was nice. We raised 12400 lindens for the operating cost of the COU. As I missed that this was also our anniversary, We will be doing something next month for that. But It is also the Anniversary of Caledon. So I need to steer clear of those celebrations. |
| 15:10 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Nice! |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So we may wait til the first of March and do a belated one |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Unless my information is wrong. |
| 15:10 |
RainyDayRecess |
Great work Andrea ;D |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And a beautiful venue last night. Still up, correct? |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
other than that. nothing else to report. the winter pavilion will be up for another week if anyone wants to take the opportunity to take photos there. the outside of the pavilion has a lot of nice photo opportunities thanks to stars decorating |
| 15:12 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Gorgeous pavilion--and big enough to house the giant version of Andrea :D |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
probably be there until the thaw in Caledon. unless the land is needed for something |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
:-) |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you have pictures posted on flickr yet? |
| 15:13 |
Gronk Seriman |
Aww. The Crystal Ballroom is so pretty. Landmark-worthy. It is only temporary? |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
sadly I didn't take any. My old lap top can't handle the load anymore |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I am looking for a photographer for caledonian nights and COU events |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I sent you a few this morning. Sitting at the bar frees on up for photography. ;) |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and can be cold, |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
it is a ice bar |
| 15:14 |
Aevalle Galicia |
as long as you don't go getting beer goggles |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll post those when i can |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Still better than being on the hot seat. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
true |
| 15:15 |
RainyDayRecess |
wow |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Andrea. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Your welcome |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, anything this week? |
| 15:16 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nothing from me, just had to fix the pin and that's done I think, Phrynne did you try it out? |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
sorry, not yet |
| 15:16 |
RainyDayRecess |
Okay, I think it works now |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
What was the problem? |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
I didn't attach it before I put it in inventory |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Ahh |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
So it wouldn't just attach when the wearer selected 'wear' or 'add' |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thanks to Phrynne for finding that ;) |
| 15:18 |
Phrynne |
You're welcome. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Gronk and Caladon, anything from the Tutor benches? |
| 15:18 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Nothing of note that I can remember. |
| 15:18 |
Gronk Seriman |
It's been a peaceful week, as far as I saw. |
| 15:18 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Gronk might have something. *looks at Gronk* |
| 15:18 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Got a few streakers, but that's nothing major. |
| 15:19 |
Gronk Seriman |
Heh. That happens. |
| 15:20 |
Kara2016 |
must have been playing that Ray Stevens song. |
| 15:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
Is there any way to tell SL we are not amused with the weapons =bearing avatars that break their own rules? |
| 15:20 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Other than that, it was fairly peaceful, as Gronk pointed out. |
| 15:20 |
Phrynne |
I have been drafting a notecard to send LL, but it is still a draft. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I started a new spreadsheet for the 2018 financials and got those through this morning to Andrea and Rainy. Still working on a glitch in getting it to filter from all transactions to a page with only credits greater than equal to 1000 $L, but was able to do that manually. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
I think if you were to write to them also, that might have more effect. Linden Labs has an account. |
| 15:21 |
Phrynne |
That is who I will send the notecard to. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Maybe they can ax the axes. |
| 15:22 |
lovejoy2199 |
btw: what is ruled as a 'weapon' ? |
| 15:22 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
The real test is if they read it. *slight eye roll* |
| 15:22 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Not sure if you also want to mention the starter avi with the bento wings. I've heard from several shop owners that the sim stats go flailing when people show up in that avi. |
| 15:22 |
Gronk Seriman |
Weapons can be worn as decoration. Not held in hand in G-areas. |
| 15:22 |
Phrynne |
There are several with wings, Aevalle |
| 15:22 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Not sure if you've noticed it here in Oxbridge |
| 15:23 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Let me see if there's a name |
| 15:23 |
Captain Thunder (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
For instance, my holster isn't scripted. No weapon. |
| 15:23 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Not showing a name but its the one with the black hair and horns and the wings flap as you walk. |
| 15:24 |
lovejoy2199 |
Wondering. Snowball rifle? |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for discussion ex post facto |
| 15:24 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:24 |
Soup Jonson |
I keep a rifle cabinet in my home :) |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne set up and area for snowball contentions. So snowball rifle appropriate there, but not near the plaza, in the lecture hall, entry building, and tutorial. |
| 15:26 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) prefers her swords... |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
It's near the Chat Circle, between there and the big fountain. |
| 15:27 |
lovejoy2199 |
In other words, try to use some 'common sense'. |
| 15:27 |
RainyDayRecess |
(Ummm I think a cake just exploded on the stage) |
| 15:27 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Yep. Exploded real good, too. |
| 15:27 |
Kara2016 |
i only use my weapon on my own property..my house make a good target. |
| 15:27 |
Phrynne |
It does that. |
| 15:27 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:27 |
Munchie (1045982) |
Mesh cake! |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep, and don't impinge on newbies and others not here for a snowball fight. |
| 15:27 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Seems like a waste of good cake to me |
| 15:28 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Five second rule? |
| 15:28 |
Gronk Seriman |
Someone left the cake out in the rain. |
| 15:28 |
lovejoy2199 |
Of course. |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
Hahahaha |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
waste? what waste? ;) |
| 15:28 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*snorts* |
| 15:28 |
lovejoy2199 |
Common sense, and a little courtesy. |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
To answer Lovejoy's question of a few minutes ago -- if something is on your hip or your back, it's part of your outfit. |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
Swords, bows, whatever. |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
But if it's in your hand it's a weapon. |
| 15:30 |
Phrynne |
and it doesn't matter if it's scripted or not, it doesn't belong at Oxbridge. |
| 15:30 |
Aevalle Galicia |
It really doesn't belong at any starter area. |
| 15:31 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) quietly puts away her main gauche.... |
| 15:31 |
|
Munchie (1045982) pockets his derringer |
| 15:31 |
Professor Brennan (professorjack) |
Even a rapier wit, while in use? <wink> |
| 15:31 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*claps* Well played! |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
I play En Garde, and sometimes I wear an invisible epee. I have to take it off before coming back to Oxbridge, because invisible weapons count, too. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Of course, we also have to observe what it does, which eliminates cut looking cats that fire a barrage when you touch their tail. |
| 15:32 |
Phrynne |
Or fire-breathing fish. |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
*cute looking |
| 15:32 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) also hides her weapon schematics... |
| 15:32 |
Gronk Seriman |
?!? |
| 15:32 |
|
Aevalle Galicia makes sure her tail is in the "off" position. |
| 15:32 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And btw, nice to see you here today Aevalle -- a once, and hopefully, future professor of tours. |
| 15:33 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oooo! |
| 15:33 |
|
Aevalle Galicia smiles. Good to be here. |
| 15:34 |
RainyDayRecess |
Yay! |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then, |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
In the absence of response, |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
we be, |
| 15:35 |
Aevalle Galicia |
I do have a "kit" for an off-campus Imbolc ritual next Sunday evening, if anyone would like a copy. |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
raise hand |
| 15:35 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) quietly throws a snowball at Soup and whistles. |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
kk Andrea |
| 15:35 |
|
Phrynne raises a hand |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
also Tuesday night we will be in the orbital techno disco platform for some techno music |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
notice to go out later tonight |
| 15:36 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nice! |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
When and where Ms Galicia? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything more on that kit, Aevalle? |
| 15:37 |
Aevalle Galicia |
We're doing it at Sacred Cauldron, next Sunday evening at 8 pm slt. The kit has the goal-setting instructions to be used in the ritual. |
| 15:37 |
Aevalle Galicia |
(Don't get it confused with this evening--they're doing skyclad tonight! lol!) |
| 15:38 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
? |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Sans fabric coverings, Andrea. |
| 15:38 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Yah, that :D |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
or leather, latex, etc. |
| 15:39 |
|
Gronk Seriman smiles |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne? |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
I was waving at Aevalle, sorry |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
nothing more |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
re [15:35] Phrynne raises a hand ? |
| 15:40 |
Aevalle Galicia |
I tossed her a kit :) |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
that was waving at Aevalle to get the Imbolc kit |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Right. |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then we're |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
adjourned. |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you all for coming and participating. It would be a long session of bad puns without you. |
| 15:41 |
Gronk Seriman |
"I see you quiver with anticip......." |
| 15:41 |
RainyDayRecess |
Thank you Deans ;) |
| 15:41 |
Captain Thunder (jeffrey0thunderstone) |
Good evening everyone. |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
night all |
| 15:41 |
Gronk Seriman |
"pation!" |
| 15:41 |
Phrynne |
thanks for coming |
| 15:41 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
It's a long session of bad puns WITH us here. *laughs* |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
no, good ones |
| 15:42 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) respectfully disagrees. |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
Phrynne, do you have time for a quick question? |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
sure |
| 15:42 |
RainyDayRecess |
Is it possible to mirror linksets? |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
I have no clue. |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
Word? |
| 15:43 |
Phrynne |
Anyone who builds more than I do? |
| 15:43 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Pip pip and toodles everyone. :) |
| 15:43 |
RainyDayRecess |
Bye Aevalle ;)
