15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting, all are welcome unless individual mis-behavior requires otherwise.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts will be posted after the meeting on our website.
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea, could you start, Phrynne is being a tough admin bunny down in the plaza?
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) This year we will be having our Annual Halloween fund-raiser on Saturday, October 20th from 2 to 4 PM SLT and then our evening event from 7 to 9 PM SLT.
.
There will be plenty of places to explore on the fund-raiser grounds. Most all of the exhibits have poses and animations for those who like to take selfies. The zombie booth is back again this year for another round of terrifying pics of yourself to take with your favorite zombie.

The main stage has plenty to see and places to sit for when you get tired of sitting. Watch out for the couch of death and the haunted couch!

There will be freebies, random give aways, and plenty of music and dancing. The DJ is yet to be announced. This year we have added to the haunted house ride with the Asylum ride. Please do not ride if you have a aversion to flashing lights, gore, or zombies. A haunted graveyard with animations and poses aplenty will be there. These are at a separate region to reduce lag.

More will be announced as plans are finalized. I do need some one
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) to make the posters, The event has been listed on the Aether group and calender, I've had a few items donated and we will see if the creator for special item can get done in time
15:05 Kara2016 she turned purple?
15:05 Phrynne is a fierce purple punk bunny
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) mostly the build is done,
15:06 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I finished up my 2 builds for the burning man this week and they are pretty much done
15:06 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll be finishing up the COU build this week
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Tuesday night starts off the Halloween season
15:07 Wordsmith Jarvinen Tell me later what you need in terms of posters, Andrea.
15:07 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) 4 Tuesday nights of Halloween music by Dj Puiper. This week we will be in an underground crypt
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) then a swamp, the rest to be decided
15:08 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) On the fundraiser, if you have an item you would like to donate, please let me know
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) gotcha items are given out during the event
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I usually look for a give away item for donors and those that attended
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll also finish up the games and ride section the next week
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) that is on the Caledon prime region
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I'll send the LMs when the build is ready
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and donation coins are in place
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) all proceeds go to the operating costs of the OCU
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oops
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) COU
15:11 Agatha Macbeth The OCU can have some too...
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) A Dj has not been selected yet, I'll contact someones this week
15:12 Gronk Seriman grins Obsessive Compulsive University.
15:12 Phrynne lol
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) :-)
15:12 Agatha Macbeth Knew I was here for a reason
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen We have that aspect among us also.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) That's it for now. I may pipe up if something else comes to me
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Andrea. Phrynne? (turns to the fierce purple punk bunny)
15:13 Phrynne Hi!
15:13 Kara2016 giggles.
15:13 Phrynne I am sitting on the dinkie sized version of the Throne of Gears, which will be an Advent Calendar gift.
15:14 Phrynne the big one has a lot more animations.
15:14 Kara2016 ooooo.
15:14 Phrynne but I wanted you to see something of this now so you can remember to come visit the Advent Calendar gifts every day, because there will be very cool things in it, come Dec.1.
15:14 Phrynne and going through Dec. 24
15:15 Phrynne In the meantime...we have Halloween coming up all month
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Staying out until 31 Dec?
15:15 Phrynne Yes, they will be there till the New Year, so if you miss one or two you can still get them. This is unlike everywhere else that I know of.
15:15 Phrynne Other places want you to get X gift on X day and Y gift on Y day and nothing else.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen We have gifts that keep on giving.
15:15 Phrynne yes
15:16 Phrynne Besides that -- you will be seeing changes in the decorations starting tomorrow.
15:16 Phrynne And I haven't quite figured out all of what I'm doing for October and Halloween, so there will be some surprises.
15:16 Phrynne I might even be surprised a few times.
15:16 Phrynne No gore, though.
15:16 Kara2016 smiles brightly.
15:16 Ember (emberell) It'll be thoroughly shocking, I'm sure
15:17 Phrynne I think we can come up with interesting decorations without squishy body parts.
15:17 Phrynne Anyway, that's what I have for today.
15:17 Phrynne looks at Word.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Phrynne.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've several items, but we'll start with this one.
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Please congratulate Miss Gronk. She may be wearing the same tag in the plaza, but she now speaks with the authority of the ban hammer. The lower poster behind me is for her.
15:19 Gronk Seriman Ooooo!
15:19 Agatha Macbeth Bash well Gronk
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) congrats
15:20 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:20 Gronk Seriman Thank you, I think. It's a responsibility I haven't had before. Thank you!
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Those who have shown themselves worthy shall have the power to Ban. You have so shown us, Gronk
15:21 Ember (emberell) Glad to hear. You're always a good eye to have in the plaza
15:21 Gronk Seriman I am flattered!
15:21 Gronk Seriman blushes
15:22 Sandie Harbour Don't hit yourself in the thumb with it
15:22 Gronk Seriman I will need a refresh of the procedures and paperwork.
15:22 Kara2016 ouch.
15:22 Ember (emberell) If you'd like an example of paperwork on a ban, I just wrote one up earlier today you can use
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ah yes, with responsibility comes paperwork.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Next the simple part.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've done a 2nd run of the Inventory class and finished two projects handed off to Phrynne for the Advent Calendar; one the large-size of her throne (scripting) and second a piece of art-work.
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen The more complex.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've heard rumors that are a misinterpretation of what I said on 09 Sept.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen What I said is that I'd be shifting about 90% of my social (and only my social) time to other endeavors. This is time spent at events and chatting without any specific subject. The rest of my time stays firmly in place
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen And part of that shifted time has already gone to bring up Inventory Class and will shortly be bringing up a new Intro to Mesh class.
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen And yes, I'm also going to use some time to get through the two foot stacks of journals on my desk
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen In short, however, I've no intention of not being in SL. Bringing up two classes and a collaboration on sci-fi short stories with the Civil Virtual Library group are the best indicators of my intent.
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen And, as long as the sun shines and I remain as chancellor, things will be run in accord with the top poster on the wall behind me. [Without communication, there is no relationship; Without respect, there is no love; Without trust, there is no reason to continue]
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen We, the staff will communicate, hopefully with transparency and sufficiency.
15:32 Kara2016 Smiles brightly.
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen Treat those who come here with respect, and do our best to deserve your trust.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's a two-way street; We expect the same back, so that we can work together.
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and you can buy a full perm copy of that poster for 0 $L).
15:33 Wordsmith Jarvinen I didn't originate the saying; I did do the graphics.
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen I think that's it from me today.
15:34 Agatha Macbeth loves a good quote
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Open for questions, comments, general announcements.
15:35 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still hosting the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays 11 AM SLT. Subjects vary and digression is rife.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, and I also will be helping as I can in the chat groups, something that I believe Frigid can vouch for.
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty for that effort, Elf.
15:36 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still no bats,not to mention belfrys
15:36 Phrynne If you know where I can find suitable bats for October, please let me know.
15:37 Agatha Macbeth Think Transylvania has a few
15:37 Phrynne LM?
15:37 Sandie Harbour I volunteer!
15:37 Ember (emberell) I have a few in my bonnet
15:37 Agatha Macbeth I'll IM Vlad
15:38 Phrynne thanks
15:38 Gronk Seriman I'd like to make a Quick Poll. Just answer yes or no or I dunno to the following Question. "Do you usually have Advanced Lighting turned on in your Graphics Preferences?
15:38 Phrynne no
15:38 Agatha Macbeth looks
15:38 Sandie Harbour No
15:39 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) No
15:39 audreyshigh I dunno
15:39 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) no
15:39 Ember (emberell) I do
15:39 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes
15:39 Frigid Cryotank Not me.
15:40 Gronk Seriman I was thinking of trying to help beautify the Campus with accent lighting as an experiment. But I was wondering how many people would see it properly.
15:41 Gronk Seriman And I see it may be a wasted effort.
15:41 Agatha Macbeth Awww
15:41 Ember (emberell) It was a bright idea at least
15:41 Frigid Cryotank I turn that "feature" on and watch my FPS drop to single digits.
15:41 Kara2016 dont give up yet.
15:41 Gronk Seriman I will try a little, then. Scale back my plans. Just to see if it's worth it.
15:41 Frigid Cryotank Point light sources are limited to 8 visible at a time.
15:43 Gronk Seriman In old View, Frigid, but supposedly many more with Advanced Lighting.
15:43 Frigid Cryotank If you have the hardware to support it, outstanding.
15:43 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, that does not seem to be in the limits document.
15:43 Frigid Cryotank What, # of point source lights?
15:44 Kara2016 ,..gently scratched between ingo's ears..
15:44 Gronk Seriman For instance, it's not easy to see the Lecture Hall at night, especially if somebody tured the lights inside off.
15:45 Frigid Cryotank http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PRIM_POINT_LIGHT
15:45 Gronk Seriman Just a few downlights outside, highlighting the columns between the windows would make it shine.
15:45 Frigid Cryotank In the Caveats.
15:46 Wordsmith Jarvinen But, see this: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/PRIM_POINT_LIGHT
15:46 Frigid Cryotank <snicker> Jinx.
15:46 Phrynne lol
15:46 Agatha Macbeth There's an echo
15:47 Gronk Seriman Thank you, both Frigid and Wordsmith.
15:49 Gronk Seriman I will make whatever I do under the Staff tag, so Phrynne can delete whatever displeases her.
15:49 Phrynne resolves to delete carefully, so as to leave the buildings there.
15:49 Gronk Seriman Ha!
15:49 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh yes, please do that.
15:50 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other questions, comments, comas, confusions?
15:50 Phrynne and commas?
15:50 Frigid Cryotank mumbles... can a prim detect if it's being looked at?
15:50 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Consequences
15:50 Gronk Seriman I'm dome with this topic. Just curious how effective it might be.
15:50 Phrynne I think that comes under philosophy. Or quantum primphysics
15:51 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Ask the cat
15:51 Agatha Macbeth ^.^
15:51 Phrynne can it tell you if it detects that you're looking at it?
15:51 Frigid Cryotank Yes.
15:51 Kara2016 what were you drinking at the time?
15:51 Frigid Cryotank It is possible.
15:51 Wordsmith Jarvinen Could make a cartoon based on this.
15:52 Phrynne "Hello, Avatar!"
15:52 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Can prim be scripted to blush if someone looks at it when using lewd animation?
15:52 Agatha Macbeth Dilbert and the prim
15:52 Phrynne ew
15:52 Sandie Harbour why are they called crosshairs when they are happy most of the time?
15:52 Phrynne I don't want to test that one at Oxbridge?
15:52 Kara2016 laughing.
15:52 Frigid Cryotank A prim could detect if an avatar is using an animation.. It's which animation that would be hard, if not impossible to detect.
15:52 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Especially if the prim is also proper
15:53 Frigid Cryotank But if I were using a 'bot, then all bets are off.
15:53 Agatha Macbeth >.<
15:53 Wordsmith Jarvinen You mean .... prim and proper?
15:53 Kara2016 sounds interesting.
15:53 Sandie Harbour LOL
15:53 Sandie Harbour well played Word!
15:53 Frigid Cryotank The 'bot could detect which animation is beling played.
15:53 Phrynne but could it bet on it? Can a bot bet?
15:53 Agatha Macbeth A bit
15:54 Frigid Cryotank I once wrote a bot that was coupled with a tip jar.
15:54 Wordsmith Jarvinen A bot can bet better but only for a bit?
15:54 Frigid Cryotank Throwing money at the jar would cause the jar to animate the 'bot.
15:54 Agatha Macbeth A bot bit a bat for a bet
15:54 Agatha Macbeth But
15:54 Phrynne it was bitter about the bite
15:54 Frigid Cryotank If my tipjar was tipped too little then the 'bot would flip a bird.
15:54 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) But of bot bat bit?
15:55 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) *if
15:55 Sandie Harbour and they call me the queen of puns
15:55 Frigid Cryotank If it was a lot then it would pay an head-up-arse animation into the bot.
15:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any other actual questions?
15:55 Phrynne how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
15:56 Frigid Cryotank Phrynne: That question is best asked of Google. It does have an answer.
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen And with that,
15:56 Frigid Cryotank I looked.
15:56 Phrynne yes it does.
15:56 Sandie Harbour a woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen it appears,
15:56 Phrynne a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as he could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood
15:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen that we are ADJOURNED
15:57 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:57 Gronk Seriman Ha!
15:57 Gronk Seriman Thank you Deans!
15:57 Phrynne does that make us adjournalists?
