Hiya Jorge :) |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea is online, so expected shortly up here. |
| 15:04 |
Jorge Serapis |
YAY! |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And I just pinged her. |
| 15:05 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
She might be AFK. I dropped in a few times and she was there, silent as can be. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome unless individual misbehavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, what have you for this week? |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I have been looking at the SE corner of Oxbridge for a long time, thinking of what could go there. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Today I built and put in there -- a labyrinth. |
| 15:08 |
Aevalle Galicia |
yay! |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nice :D |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Not a big one, and low to the ground so you can't get lost |
| 15:08 |
RainyDayRecess |
Great idea |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
It's from the classical pattern that goes back 5000 years. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Minotaur? |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
And in the center there is a black pearl (TY Jack Sparrow!) that gives away a copy of the labyrinth and a notecard about them. |
| 15:08 |
Aevalle Galicia |
I have one but he's primmy |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
This has five courses -- you go around five times -- and is 8 LI |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
so, not too bad. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, well within tolerance. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I am still attempting to build a couple of other patterns of labyrinths for Oxbridge, including a Robin Hood's Run (it has a back door exit) but that will take a while. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
It also fits into part of the educational goal of Oxbridge by giving people practice in walking in something that is not a straight line. Very useful after some events! |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
And that's what I have for this week. |
| 15:11 |
Aevalle Galicia |
And could be useful for walking meditations :) |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you Phrynne. |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
Definitely good for that. I have walked it; it was going to go under the stained-glass gazebo, but it's just a bit too large |
| 15:11 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
That's a really good idea! Walking in curved lines can be tough sometimes. |
| 15:12 |

People could even practice their high speed cornering before running through the tutorial. |
| 15:12 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Hah |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty Kara. It all helps keep us here. |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
Historically, they were used for races and ball games as well as meditation |
| 15:13 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:13 |
Aevalle Galicia |
also good for takeout...if you have horns and cloven feet |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
:) |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Speaking of the tutorial, the word is that Lindal has or is doing updates on the English version, which opens the door for up to date translations. |
| 15:14 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
True story. |
| 15:14 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) wonders if she's going to include Mesh on the new version. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea just "oops"ed me. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And now it's a 3 Dean "night" |
| 15:15 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*snorts* |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
oh wrong couch |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
We are putting more on mesh into the Faculty Info Kit that is being updated by several of us |
| 15:15 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
So tired? |
| 15:15 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any way, looking to the multi-language tutorial, I put together a kiosk that satisfies the dual requirements of being one object and one LI. Still have some texturing to do. |
| 15:17 |
RainyDayRecess |
Looks amazing Word, nice work ;) |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you click on a flag, it current sends you an IM on what language you selected. |
| 15:17 |
Cup of fresh ground coffee whispers |
Now THAT I needed! |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So it has a script in it and is still 1 LI. |
| 15:17 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Very nice. |
| 15:17 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Oh, nice that it works in IM, so screen readers can pick it up |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The requirement for it being one object comes from something one most often doesn't have to worry about -- server cost, which is 0.5 for objects without script and 1.0 for objects with scripts. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And always rounds up. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As we have translations, we can start putting those out. |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
my ha btw, for those looking at it in awe, is a Phrynne original. comes in handy at night. |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
hat |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
Fabulous hat ;D |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And now, to Andrea of the fabulous hat. ;) |
| 15:21 |
RainyDayRecess |
It's enlightening ;P |
| 15:21 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
That is a pretty fabulous hat. |
| 15:21 |
|
Wordsmith Jarvinen reflects on that. |
| 15:21 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) grins |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nothing today, i have started on the next COU fundraiser build but right now it's a empty cathedral |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
no date or time set |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Caledon's anniversary is this month so I'm trying not to interfere with that |

Jorge Serapis |
What's another word for synonym? |
| 15:24 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) prepares the tiny anvil thrower |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
Antiantonym |
| 15:25 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Also apologies. I was keeping an eye on ground level. |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) glances at stack of sudoku |
| 15:26 |
Phrynne |
Questions? Comments? Theories? |
| 15:27 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Explosions? |
| 15:27 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Speculations? |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Theories take too much time for the amount of verification required, but a hypothesis would fit. |
| 15:27 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
I used to have a boss that would, after a long exposition, would say "Questions? Comments? Concerns?....Explosions?" |
| 15:27 |
Phrynne |
Occasionally, one of the chickens self-explodes, but that's all. |
| 15:28 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I may be calling on some of you in the near future to see if you can help with some projects. |
| 15:28 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
*sucks at all the things regarding building in SL* |
| 15:28 |

Sandie Harbour |
*sucks at everything* |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
pffft |
| 15:29 |
Phrynne |
Now, now, I don't like anyone running down the Oxbridge tutors -- including the tutors |
| 15:29 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Now if I could wrap my brain around LSL, I might be useful. |
| 15:29 |
Jorge Serapis |
What's SL? |
| 15:29 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Word, that's an every day thing for me *laughs* |
| 15:29 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) tries his best |
| 15:29 |
Aevalle Galicia |
Sounds like the school's motivational coach is falling down on the job. ;-p |
| 15:29 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
I'm good, thanks. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We'll work on that. I was already thinking, if you can't build then you'll have to script. :P |
| 15:30 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Since I do it in RL anyway *eye roll* |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
SL = Silent Libations. |
| 15:31 |
Phrynne |
SL = Silly Lizards |
| 15:31 |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) just tries to write |
| 15:31 |
RainyDayRecess |
Cute Andrea ;) |
| 15:31 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Well Word, if I can do Ruby on Rails, I could learn LSL |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, not hearing any serious matters being brought up ..... |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We are |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
well |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
any ideas for the next COU fun-raiser? |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
when would we need to hold it word? |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(that's a deep subject, but not necessarily a serious one (wells)) |
| 15:33 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
You said you were building a Cathedral, right? |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the cathedral is done |
| 15:33 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Ahh |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
but it can be whatever |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
decorations are next |
| 15:33 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
I'll have to think on that. |
| 15:33 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
I might have some ideas. |
| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
When does RFL start to suck in available donations? |
| 15:34 |
Jorge Serapis |
Considering it's Carnival season, Andrea... might that inspire you? |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
maybe |
| 15:34 |
|
Phrynne is trying to remember when the Oscars are given out -- people could come as their favorite stars |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
when is our next tier payment due? |
| 15:34 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Jorge, Ash Wednesday is this week. *laughs* By the time we're ready for the fundraiser, it'll be Lent. |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Early April |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
so something in march? |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the build can be changed |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes |
| 15:35 |
Aevalle Galicia |
could recruit catgirls to arrest people and toss 'em in the slammer again. We raised quite a bit doing that...both times. |
| 15:35 |
Kara2016 |
Ash Wednesday and Valentines day are bot on Wednesday. |
| 15:35 |
Succy B. Buss (bigguybaneforyou) |
Catgirls? |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
Easter is April Fools Day this year |
| 15:35 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
This year is weird. Ash Valentine's and Fools Easter. |
| 15:35 |
Lain Kira |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
Me too ;) |
| 15:36 |
Phrynne |
Passover would be in the week before |
| 15:36 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) won't talk about that event. |
| 15:36 |
Kara2016 |
how can you do April fools jokes on easter? |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or toss catgirls in the slammer and have people bail them out for a dance. |
| 15:36 |
RainyDayRecess |
That's great Word! |
| 15:36 |
Lain Kira |
Wordsmith thats a good beard where did you get it? |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Succy B. Buss (bigguybaneforyou) |
Hello, is this a fantasy sim? |
| 15:37 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
maybe a carnival setting |
| 15:37 |
Kara2016 |
laughing. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's an Ali & Ali product from some years back (beard). |
| 15:37 |

| 15:38 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
yay the floor flips here |
| 15:38 |
Kara2016 |
how did that happen? |
| 15:38 |
Red (martian) |
I believe there may be an issue with the classroom |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
Who turned the floor? |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Someone touched the controls |
| 15:38 |
Kara2016 |
ghost? |
| 15:38 |
McBedtime (mcbob) |
I don't think this is up to code |

Casey (caseykays) |

| 15:38 |

| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There may be issue with a griefer.... |
| 15:38 |

| 15:39 |
|
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) looks at Word. |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
The floor in the classrooms turns over for some classes |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
but this isn't one of them |
| 15:39 |
lovejoy2199 |
At least you didn't have to rebuild. |
| 15:39 |
Succy B. Buss (bigguybaneforyou) |
thank god we're still alive |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
not this time. |
| 15:39 |
Phrynne |
And you can't get killed here. |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
switched avis in the confusion |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
Or hurt |
| 15:40 |
Kara2016 |
and rainy ended up on the floor. |
| 15:40 |
Caladon Rae (saeldurrae) |
Let's....try not to touch the controls, shall we? |
| 15:40 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
at least the floor didn't de rezz and drop us |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, now we know what happens if you pull that switch. |
| 15:40 |
Casey (caseykays) |
why is there a button to do that |
| 15:40 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
For use of the _teachers_ |
| 15:41 |
Casey (caseykays) |
i see |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Because for some classes we don't need seats but building space. |
| 15:41 |
Lain Kira |
oh thats neat what have you made? |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The alternate explanation is that it's for bat practice class. |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
And baseball games |
| 15:42 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) looks for his nerf bat |
| 15:42 |
Red (martian) |
I practice with my bat all the time |
| 15:42 |
Casey (caseykays) |
same |
| 15:42 |
Casey (caseykays) |
i just finished practicing actually |
| 15:42 |
McBedtime (mcbob) |
Casey at the bat |
