14:48 Phrynne brb getting tea
14:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hi Andrea.
14:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen Are you from the Gallop-a-goes tonight?
14:51 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nope
14:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen Good day, Star.
14:54 star (astarynite) Hello Word
14:54 star (astarynite) Hello Phrynne
14:54 star (astarynite) Hi Andrea
14:54 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi
14:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, Elf
14:56 Phrynne back
14:56 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
14:57 Wordsmith Jarvinen wb
14:57 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) hi all
14:57 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) hello
14:59 Kara2016 Greetings everyone.
15:00 Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway.
15:00 Wordsmith Jarvinen Greetings, Kara, and thank you.
15:00 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting, all are welcome except as individual misbehavior may require otherwise.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted on the website after the meeting.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, can you start please?
15:03 Phrynne I have two things today.
15:04 Phrynne First, the ball touch or bubble popping game that we had on the side of the Hall of Caledon has had problems.
15:04 Phrynne It's back with its creator for modification.
15:04 Phrynne We hope to have it back up soon.
15:04 Phrynne Second, if you use the dressing rooms in the Village, which is on this parcel, and if you are a member of the Oxbridge student group, please pick up your boxes and items before you go.
15:05 Phrynne The reason
15:05 Phrynne is that because this land is owned by the student group, things left behind aren't automatically returned as non-group items.
15:05 Phrynne Which means I have to come over here and send them back.
15:05 Phrynne It wouldn't be too bad if it were one or two things, but last week one person left about 30.
15:05 Phrynne The week before someone else left 86.
15:06 Lightweaver Balan O.O
15:06 Phrynne So I am asking: please pick up your boxes, and whatever else you use there.
15:06 Kara2016 ouch.
15:06 Phrynne Sometimes people rez outfits to look at them instead of wearing them. Sometimes they leave boxes stuck through the walls of the dressing room.
15:07 Phrynne Just... clean up after yourself, and if you see someone who doesn't, ask them to do it.
15:07 Phrynne This doesn't happen in the dressing rooms on campus because the campus is owned by Caledon Oxbridge, not by the student group, so anything left is a non-group item, and gets returned in 10 minutes.
15:07 Phrynne And that's what I have for now.
15:07 Phrynne looks back at Word.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you. Having each person pickup their own things also saves on floor replacement costs.
15:09 Phrynne Yes, all those boxes wearing down the flooring...
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, what do you have this week?
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nothing going on. RL has starting taking up more and more of my time as summer gets going. Will be working on a dark carnival for sometime in the near future. may holler for some help on that.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) has abandoned the slb project that I was working on. So just look for Wordsmith's and Rainy's build
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) nothing really going on. Today is the last day of the Fair in the village. I took up the rides today.But the vendors selling stuff, they should still be there.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) including our own Samm Florian
15:13 Kara2016 smiles
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Will up date as I go along.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back to word
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Andrea.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen A few things from me. I've got the weekly and monthly visitor summaries up on the web.
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Up through March. April is till to come.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen It's amazing what a week can do.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Donations in the last week have caught us up to date for the current quarter and reduced the remaining deficit carried over from last quarter to 1848 $L. That carry-over started out as about 13k $L.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen I sent updated financials to Andrea and Rainy this morning.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen So many thanks for keep Oxbridge up and running.
15:18 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, I think we have a solution for the invisibility HUD problem.
15:20 Lightweaver Balan good lord
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen And it's friendly, greeting the person.
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Visibility Assistant: Hello, you appear to have misplaced your avatar and nametag. I'll be your visibility assistant while you are at Oxbridge.
15:20 lovejoy2199 *smile* Cute
15:20 Phrynne "Invisibility" HUDs actually shove the avatar underground while their viewpoint remains above ground.
15:20 Gronk Seriman Ha!
15:21 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:21 Kara2016 i love it.
15:21 Phrynne This should make it easier to know where the avatar is.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen And the positioning and sizing can be fine-tuned.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen And the arrows die, once the agent leaves Oxbridge (or the sim it was rezzed on0
15:22 lovejoy2199 I see you!
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, open for general questions.
15:23 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) I have a question
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Krusty?
15:24 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) First I'm not new to SL but am new to Oxbridge and just want to say I really enjoy the classes and have learned a ton about taking photos, animations, building, etc. So thank you
15:25 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) my question
15:25 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) I am wanting to learn about mesh but the class keeps getting canceled, when will I be able to take this class?
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Within the next week or two. That's my class, I'm updating it, but have had more than a few things to get done.
15:27 Krusty's Krypto Koins (christophermichael) ok great thanks, looking forward to it.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Teddy, are you here with a question or comment?
15:28 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) No
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen Teddy, of course teaches photo salon, and has put some effort into it.
15:29 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Thank You !
15:29 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) Thank you =)
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen And I expect will be doing a field trip to SL15B when it's up.
15:29 - ̗̀ Teddy Bear ̖́- (atlasshrugged3) That is correct
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Elfbiter has the weekly Thursday 11am writing class.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything you want to add Elf?
15:31 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Hm. Not at the moment
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Star is the Assist. Dean of Commons organizing this year's Advent Calendar.
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything you wish to add to that, Star?
15:32 star (astarynite) Not this week, thank you
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen Sandie, in the back, likely should be named professor in charge of puns, as well as teaching Make a Clock.
15:33 star (astarynite) well, we are open to donations, full perm, if not we will take them with no mod, but prefer full perm
15:33 star (astarynite) sorry
15:34 Sandie Harbour I resemble that
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen np
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything from the plaza, Gronk and Elf?
15:34 Gronk Seriman Not that I can think of.
15:35 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Rather many "ask and dash" people lately but there is not much we can do about it.
15:36 Wordsmith Jarvinen trip wires?
15:36 Phrynne Nets?
15:36 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:36 Phrynne Butterfly nets?
15:36 Gronk Seriman Quicksand?

15:36 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) free food
15:36 Gronk Seriman Banana peels?
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else, questions, announcements.
15:37 Sandie Harbour that reminds me of a pun
15:37 Soup Jonson o O
15:37 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes?
15:38 Sandie Harbour Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana
15:38 Larlotte Blackwater (larlotte) And anything sticky.
15:38 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) ""I used to be an arrow like you but then I took a knee to the adventurer"
15:38 Lightweaver Balan second time I heard that this week...
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen An example also of why natural language is hard to parse.
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else?
15:39 Larlotte Blackwater (larlotte) I think I'd rather take an adventurer to the knee.
15:40 Wordsmith Jarvinen Then we are
