Hello Chancellor |
| 14:48 |
Phrynne |
Is that a puzzle, Word? |
| 14:48 |
Phrynne |
behind us |
| 14:49 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It originally was, yes. What I discussed last week as possibly the build for SL15B. |
| 14:50 |
Phrynne |
ahh, right |
| 14:57 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll mention more about it in a bit. |
| 14:57 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! Show & tell tonight! |
| 14:58 |
Zantyago Mannonen |
show and tell? how? |
| 14:58 |
Gronk Seriman |
There's something above Wordsmith's head. |
| 14:58 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
HI Rainy |
| 14:58 |
Zantyago Mannonen |
ah |
| 14:58 |
Zantyago Mannonen |
the triangle that can fold into a square |

rainy your leg is escaping |
| 15:01 |
RainyDayRecess |
How about now? |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good afternoon (or other hour as your prefer). |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome to the Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting. All are welcome except as individual misbehavior requires otherwise. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, can you start out? |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
I have something new to tell you about. |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
If you look at the side of the Hall of Caledon that faces the entry hall, you'll see something new -- a blue rectangle on the wall. It's a game, a ball catching game that Professor Frigid Cryotank has made. If you click on the rectangle, you are asked how many balls you want to rez -- and then in a few seconds they are rezzed, and your job is to click on all of them to make them disappear. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
The balls move randomly; it's not as easy as it looks. It works very well with two or more people, or alone as a way to see how many you catch easily. You can rez up to 40 balls; they are phantom. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
There are more complicated games out there in SL, but I think this is a good beginner one for Oxbridge. And it's possible that more low-LI games may go in that area over time. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
That's all I have for now. |
| 15:04 |
RainyDayRecess |
Great idea! |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
I have looked for a while for some games for Oxbridge that don't involve weapons. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
and are low-ish in LI |
| 15:05 |
|
Phrynne turns back to Word |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Phrynne. Andrea? |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The Spring Fund raiser is Tuesday night and has two times on Sat. One at 1 PM and the other starts at 6. The theme is Celtic spring. It will be held in a clearing in the village. |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is a notecard giver to the left of the walkway into the lecture hall in the plaza |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that has the details. |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The Dragon Egg hunt began today and will run for a week |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There is a notecard giver to the right of the walkway going to the lecture hall |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The dragon Egg hunt was designed to be a quick and simple hunt for everyone to enjoy. |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The eggs are the prize. They are 1 prim apiece so as a decoration or something rezzed n yourself. They do not take up a lot of prims |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The eggs are copy no mod and no trans for the hunt itself. |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The eggs will become available to everyone in th form of a no copy mod transfer version in a gotcha later on this year |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The Oxbridge 1000 program will get started this afternoon. The Egg hunt took longer than expected to get finished this morning. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Basically you can donate a 1000 lindens a month to the COU. This money goes to the operation costs of the University, as does gotchas and items for sale here on campus,and other donations as well. |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The 1000 level patrons will have access to a tag they can wear identifying them as supporters |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Rainy has made a pin that can be worn as well. |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The different levels of support and what that entails will be in the notice to be send-out. |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Some of you have already been doing the 1000 a month and I have saw where that has been happening. Apologies for taking so long to get this project off the ground. |
| 15:15 |
star (astarynite) |
hunting |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We are exploring other possible means of supporting the COU financially.More items will become available in the near future for purchase. |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I think that is it for me. Looks back to the Chancellor. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Andrea. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think Oxbridge owes a nod of gratitude to the several lady dragons who have figuratively worked their tails off providing eggs for the hunt. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Yes So sorry. Star was instrumental in getting the hunt off the ground. |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Rainy, did you have anything else to add on pins, sponsorship, ... |
| 15:18 |
RainyDayRecess |
I've been updating the sponsor notecard that Phrynne gave me and have added the $1,000 L patron level and all of the benefits plus the highest Patron level information so that she can add it to the faculty kit at the end of the month. |
| 15:18 |
star (astarynite) |

| 15:19 |
RainyDayRecess |
I just gave it to Andrea and Phrynne for okay |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Great! |
| 15:20 |
RainyDayRecess |
That's all from me, sorry |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm about 2/3 through reviewing the Inventory class notes and adding information on the LL-Viewer plus minor editing touches here and there. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Should have that finished within the next few days. There may be another short sweep depending if Star wants to use the notecard reader I created a while back. |
| 15:23 |
|
star (astarynite) nods |
| 15:23 |
star (astarynite) |
I would love to |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The object on the wall behind me is a 1/5 scale prototype of what may become Oxbridge's SL15B building. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's the solution to the Haberdashers' Problem solved by Henry Dudeney about 1903. An equilateral triangle cut into four pieces that can rearrange to make a square. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/HaberdashersProblem.html |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's been a RL house built based on that. It can rearrange to take advantage of the sun or tuck everything in when it's cold and cloudy. |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are 3 hinges to it (house or puzzle) located where I have the hot pink balls. |
| 15:27 |
Lightweaver Balan |
O.O |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The red piece on the bottom flips 180 deg to be against the green piece. The green and red piece flip up against the right of the blue piece. And on the other side, the gold piece flips up against the blue piece. All that's shown at to top of the page that I linked to above. |
| 15:30 |
lovejoy2199 |
A Steampunk D*Haus. Interesting |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, adapted in decor to whatever theme LL comes up with. |
| 15:31 |
Gronk Seriman |
You so HAVE to steal Ravelli's floor-flip sound effect for when the house moves, or find something equally impressive. |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That model is set up to be two-story with a roof over the top. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, I'm sure we can come up with something. ;) |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for general questions |
| 15:34 |
Gronk Seriman |
And a nearly-transparent observation deck above the building would be nice. A place to see the house from above, and also observe the surroundings as well. |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
Hmm, that's a great idea Gronk |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I try to find a way to exhibit things that's interesting even apart from any theme. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any general questions? |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And btw, there was a good gathering for the appearance of Brigadoon Village last night. |
| 15:37 |
Gronk Seriman |
I would suppose land area might be an issue. The pieces swing out quite a ways during transition. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oh, yes! Brigadoon was fun! |
| 15:38 |
Phrynne |
I think the display areas are 32 x 32 meters |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, and full scale right now, this would have a base of 24m |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It would be possible to move the root side to side if needed to keep it within bounds |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll re-mention that Roth Grut said last week that he could do the Portuguese translations of the tutorial. |
| 15:42 |
Phrynne |
I am still looking for someone to finish the French translation. |
| 15:42 |
LadyLyndon |
Oh I could do that |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The, please talk with Phrynne. |
| 15:43 |
RainyDayRecess |
Nice! |
| 15:43 |
LadyLyndon |
I'm French and I would be happy to help :) |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Magnificent and appreciated. |
| 15:43 |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:46 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Some of you may have noticed a few new additions to the landing area outside the steps |
| 15:46 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is a now a temp rezzing flying machine over to the left as you leave. It is over the pub parcel. |
| 15:47 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
So i rezzed it there. You can click it and them a flying machine will appear |
| 15:47 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
just hop on and fly away. |
| 15:47 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nice! |
| 15:47 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is also a cannon to the right as you exit. |
| 15:47 |
star (astarynite) |
Instant Taxi |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
I tried the cannon! :D |
| 15:48 |
RainyDayRecess |
It was a blast |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Uff Da! |
| 15:48 |
Gronk Seriman |
Hah! |
| 15:48 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
this works by you sitting on the barrel, then you have to click the very butt end of the cannon barrel under the fuse |
| 15:48 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
you should be dropped on the lawn right before getting to the plaza |
| 15:49 |
RainyDayRecess |
It does take a few seconds to ignite so be patient ;) |
| 15:49 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
may not have this up for long. But for anyone who wants to try feel free. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and for right now I have plain prim just outside the steps that has parachutes int them. working on a replacement for the one carl put in. it stopped working sadly. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that's it |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Butt end of the cannon to butt end on the lawn. What could possibly go wrong? |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
well you do fly by the dressing rooms |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
trajectory took a bit to work out |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I was reminded so I'll mention that this is the 10th anniversary of the Bashful peacock. For anyone wanting to drop by ans wish them well. |
| 15:52 |
LadyLyndon |
How many people were killed in the testing? |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
that is a COU security secret |
| 15:52 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:53 |
LadyLyndon |
hehe |
| 15:53 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
i will say several alts are recovering |
| 15:53 |
LadyLyndon |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |

| 15:53 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
you might bounce when you land |
| 15:54 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
you ride a prim btw |
| 15:54 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've heard that some made unexpected visits to one dressing room or the other. |
| 15:54 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
yes the roofs are phantom apparently |
| 15:54 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
no guests were present or injured |
| 15:55 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:55 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'm done |
| 15:55 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
