I have a question before we get too deep |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) prepares his shovel |

Sandie Harbour |
How do I change the font of the text for nearby chat? |
| 15:01 |
Sandie Harbour |
I'm using firestorm |
| 15:01 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You can change the size, but the font is what it is. |
| 15:01 |
Sandie Harbour |
I need to change the size |
| 15:01 |
Sandie Harbour |

Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting, all are welcome except as individual misbehavior requires reconsideration. |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
User Interface in FS preferences lets you change the font itself, but everything will be in the new font. |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, will you open? (Dean of Commons) |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
I have a little news about the Advent Calendar work. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
Despite having a show at the Caledon National Museum ending (mine) and another one starting, (Holly's) Star has found time to send out the notecards inviting creative people to donate items for the Calendar. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
And we have already received a few things from generous folk who weren't even on the list to be asked. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
The list itself has been lengthened to include more shopkeepers in Caledon, as well as experienced Caledonians who are very creative. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(and who will find it hard to escape from the list now) |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
So I am hoping for great things. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
Well, some people in the past have flatly turned me down -- so they are not on the list. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
But it's a good start, and I have hopes for a good Calendar this year. |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
And that's it from me. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne, |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And turning to Andrea (Dean of Development), what have ye? |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Afraid I've been out more than in this week. So nothing from me. Should get back on track tis next week. |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thanks, Andrea. |

Nothing from me, I'm having the same week as Andrea ;( |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
Still working on the house though ;) |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Funny, no temporal displacement then. |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
Parallel? |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Perhaps. |

On the wall behind me is a timeline of weekly unique visitors to Oxbridge. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The dip in July 2017 is a data outage. Something killed the script. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The gold is avatars detected during that week who were on their first day. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The azure are avatars detected during their first week, exclusive of first day. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the sienna are the remainder of visitors for the week. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And there is a notable increase during last December, which is due to ____________ guesses? |
| 15:17 |
Evil Sociopath Beware (cymbal.constantine) |
advent gifts! |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yep. Has to be that. |
| 15:17 |
Kara2016 |
big drop in July? |
| 15:17 |
lovejoy2199 |
Nothing like freebies. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, that's the data outage I mentioned. |
| 15:18 |
Kara2016 |
oh, dear. |
| 15:18 |
Satanico Marquis |
It's ONLY re-attracting "old" customers - no big advent gifts effect on newbies |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No, it takes newbies a bit of time to get into such things. |
| 15:19 |
Satanico Marquis |
Yes - that 's evident when looking at the data |
| 15:20 |
Gronk Seriman |
They hardly know how to walk and talk on their first visits. |
| 15:20 |
ღلadё ℝeynolds ღ (jadetyler) |
Is it on the SL Event's calendar? I'm not sure if I got the notice or saw it there...but last year was my first visit. :) (But, I'm not a newbie.) |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's also clear that Oxbridge serves far more than just newbies. |
| 15:20 |
Larlotte Blackwater (larlotte) |
"Old customers" includes anyone older than a week though so, really, a lot of those figures could be from people say, within their first month. You wouldn't know. It is likely that the traffic is from older avatars though. |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
We see Returners all the time. People with old accounts, but huge gaps in visiting SL. |
| 15:21 |
Satanico Marquis |
me for example ... ;o) |
| 15:21 |
Logan Theseus |
and me =D |
| 15:21 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We just had someone with 2000+ days who was effectively a newcomer |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It would be possible to look at that aspect. The weekly and monthly summaries on visitors are at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The other reportable active I've been up to is with textures for the SL15B. |
| 15:24 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The architecture for that is four "buildings" that form an equilateral triangle or a square of the same area. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the theme this year is crystal. |
| 15:25 |
Kara2016 |
wow...thats a challenge. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The light in here doesn't show it, but those are highly reflective. |
| 15:25 |
Gronk Seriman |
Nah...just lots of windows. Or ALL windows. |
| 15:26 |
RainyDayRecess |
Somewhat transparent ;) |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not actually, because that can get into the ordering glitch against other transparent objects |
| 15:27 |
RainyDayRecess |
Ohhhh, so no alpha on this one? |
| 15:27 |
|
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) remembers two RL building with lots of glass that concentrated rays of the sun to increase temperatures to the melting point |
| 15:28 |
RainyDayRecess |
Vegas? |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, it would be uniform. I tried a low level of transparency and saw a section disappear up on my building platform |
| 15:28 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
And London |

A company name D'Haus used the triangle / square puzzle to build a couple houses that adapt to season and sunlight. |
| 15:30 |
Kara2016 |
wow. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I did the original sectioning, and Rainy has been working on doors and windows. |
| 15:32 |
lovejoy2199 |
Personally, I am waiting to see a Steam-powered Crystal D'Haus at the Birthday. |
| 15:32 |

| 15:32 |

Could make it a sauna. |
| 15:32 |
Kara2016 |
sunbathing. |
| 15:32 |
ღلadё ℝeynolds ღ (jadetyler) |
If it is called the Walkie Scorchie....(looking at Elfbiter)...the name alone might make visitors curious. giggles. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, open for general questions. |

And there's the house prototype in triangle form. |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
A light, Miss Gronk? |
| 15:36 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yes. To see the shininess. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you. |
| 15:37 |
Gronk Seriman |
I'm done playing. Sorry. |
| 15:38 |
Gronk Seriman |
Oooooo! |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'm happy to have the lights. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I just ran out of time to make them |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you cam to the roof, Rainy's rezzed a couple of the sections she's been working on. |
| 15:40 |
Phrynne |
That's very pretty! |
| 15:40 |
ღلadё ℝeynolds ღ (jadetyler) |
Lovely! |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
oops. You need to set them to the COUG group |
| 15:41 |
RainyDayRecess |
Sorry |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
SL15B isn't until 23 June, so I think we're in good shape as to finishing the architecture and doing contents inside |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Questions on other matters? (or these) |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hearing none, we are |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Adjourned. |
