Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting, all are welcome except for individuals who work to be otherwise. |

Transcripts will be posted after the meeting, since I am not competent to post them before. |

The tardis broke down? |
| 15:07 |

Aye, tis such a problem to maintain and parts are difficult to get. |

Let's see how long I can stay logged in this time.... |
| 15:07 |

Oh, ;( |

Bobsie |
/waves to elfbiter |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, can you start? |
| 15:07 |
|
Phrynne swallows a bite of dinner |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
Yes -- As at least some of you know, we now have a staff lounge in one of the towers at Oxbridge, thanks to Asst. Dean Jorge Serapis... |
| 15:08 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Woot |
| 15:08 |
Phrynne |
This week, he's added two meeting rooms in other towers. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
They are far enough from each other horizontally that you won't be overheard, but do watch out for visitors in the tutorial who might be able to catch a bit as they go under where you are. |
| 15:09 |
Phrynne |
I am asking that these not be used while you're supposed to be on the plaza helping people |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Or in those rooms use conference chats. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
but for discussions and conferences otherwise that you would prefer not interrupted. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
And... |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
there is a staff-only HUD that will let you into them. |
| 15:10 |
Phrynne |
I will send it out after Q&A. |
| 15:10 |
RainyDayRecess |
;) |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I suppose you could simply leave a copyable HUD in one of those rooms. ;) |
| 15:11 |
Phrynne |
This is a mild way of keeping the rooms for staff use -- though I will be keeping a general eye on them when I'm there in case non-staff people who should know better decide to use them for other purposes *coughsexcough* |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
There are chairs in one of the rooms, and none in the other; I hope to put in couches soon. |
| 15:12 |
|
Agatha Macbeth wonders what coughsex is |
| 15:12 |
Frigid Cryotank |
The imagination boggles. |
| 15:12 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:12 |
badgerofzen |
something to do with coughing and not moaning |
| 15:12 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Ah |
| 15:12 |
Phrynne |
And -- they are gorgeous. Jorge used some of the bits and pieces he used while rebuilding the Guv's mansion, made them smaller and put them there. |
| 15:12 |
Frigid Cryotank |
ewwww |
| 15:13 |
badgerofzen |
;) |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Did Jorge put in the Chandeliers yet? |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
yes, exactly. Don't want to mess up the parquet floor. |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
yes |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With the swings...... |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
So, I'll put the HUDs in a notice in COU, and if you have problems with it contact me. |
| 15:13 |
Phrynne |
Word, the meeting rooms don't have swings. You must be thinking of your office. |
| 15:14 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Wow. |
| 15:14 |
|
Gronk Seriman smirks |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
because I'm pretty sure Carl's old office doesn't. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nope no swing there, except for a swing-shift or two when I'm on deadline. |
| 15:14 |
Phrynne |
Anyway, that's what's new this week. |
| 15:14 |
badgerofzen |
edgar montrose would love to blow them up |
| 15:15 |
Agatha Macbeth |
How is Mr Carl these days? |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
No but he does have a black moon calendar. |
| 15:15 |
Phrynne |
I have not heard, Agatha. |
| 15:15 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:( |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've seen him inworld once or twice, but haven't talked with him. |
| 15:16 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hope he's well |
| 15:16 |
Phrynne |
that's what I have for today. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:16 |
Kara2016 |
Smiles brightly. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I haven't run the statistics yet (hopefully this next week), but I've noticed that classes where I was seeing 1-2 students a few weeks ago, I'm now seeing 4-6. |
| 15:18 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yay |
| 15:18 |
Bobsie |
that's great! |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Which is both good for the class and good for keeping the instructors. |
| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
When teachers are able to log in... |
| 15:18 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |
| 15:19 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well, there is that aspect, and students also. |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I finished up what's now the "Stonesedge Outdoor Meeting Center / Caledon Oxbridge Extension" and posted notices to the ISC and COU groups. |
| 15:21 |
|
Agatha Macbeth waves to Miss Andrea |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Ooo! |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That was motivated by creating a place in Caledon to host some of the CVL-Caledon sci-fi short story discussions, but it's also available for other meetings promoting Caledon/Oxbridge communities. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hi, Andrea. You made it through the hurdles. |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
hi |
| 15:23 |
Gronk Seriman |
Yay, Andrea! |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I scripted a group-only local TP for Jorge to use for accessing the new rooms, although I notice that Phrynne is using something else .... :P |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
The thing you scripted had some oddities that may have been SL, but were still weird. |
| 15:24 |
Phrynne |
If I stood on it, and asked to TP, it dumped me on the middle of the sim, exactly. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
I had a copy in each room, and it wouldn't go from one to the other, just to the middle. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
So Jorge did some modifications. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I also did an avatar position adjustment script for a chair that Jorge gave to Phrynne, to adjust the avatar position. |
| 15:25 |
Phrynne |
This is for the Calendar. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Well if you look at the script, there are several lines at the top clearly commented that this is where you set the destination, the text above the teleport, etc. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
So, if none of that is done, it had the center of the sim as the destination. |
| 15:27 |
Phrynne |
Word, water over the dam. The HUD works. |
| 15:28 |
Phrynne |
and uses that script |
| 15:28 |
Phrynne |
modified. |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The avatar positioning script I turned around and used for the meeting center seating. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's at Caledon SouthEnd (201,121,24) |
| 15:29 |
|
Agatha Macbeth just read that as 'avatar poisoning script' |
| 15:29 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
There are those... |
| 15:29 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Hmm... |
| 15:29 |
Frigid Cryotank |
Halloween... |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea has a good intoxication script that comes close. |
| 15:30 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
*hic* |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Pretty much my week. |
| 15:30 |
Frigid Cryotank |
I was thinking of inflicting an avatar with ... bit rot. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:31 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
just managed to get on |
| 15:31 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nope. |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
just the next dance is the usual Tuesday night, will be at the pub |
| 15:32 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:33 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and both builds will be up till after Halloween |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the hunt items at the autumn revels dance build is still in place. 11 Halloween eggs are still there, they have no copy decoration items |
| 15:34 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
2 of the eggs have the same item so you have a set |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
They were laid by a creepy confused easter bunny out of his theme |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:35 |
Phrynne |
:) |
| 15:35 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Eggs-ceptional |
| 15:35 |
RainyDayRecess |
:D |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the eggs are decorated in creepy rabbits or Halloween images |
| 15:36 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Holy Grail bunnies? |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the build still has all of the posed scenes, a great place for photos , suggested for your Halloween pics |
| 15:36 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or cards. |
| 15:37 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there is one built scene over the pub, has poses on it, i used it last year to make my Halloween cards |
| 15:37 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
should be public accessible,let me know if they are not |
| 15:38 |
Sulley Daviau |
i believe it is accessible. I was just there a few minutes ago. |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there will be a Christmas build fundraiser in the first week of December, I will be trying to have these events in the first part of the month to avoid the over scheduling we have during holidays. there were 2 other events ongoing the same time as the fundraiser. |
| 15:39 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
in October |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
One of the problems with events in Caledon. |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There is Ms Stereos harvest and newcomer events in Nov. So I will be helping her with those. The COU usually gets a donation from the funds raised at her event. |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
is looking to build some robot themed carnival rides etc... |
| 15:41 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
looks back to Wordsmith |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Andrea. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, open for general questions, comments, announcements, ... |
| 15:43 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Still trying to host the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
11 am. |
| 15:44 |
Gronk Seriman |
Elfbiter, is the transcript available anywhere, or do you just have to Be There? |
| 15:45 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
We don't have transcripts, unfortunately |
| 15:45 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
So you kind of have to attend if you want to know what people are talking about. |
| 15:45 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You are working on a collection of the writing prompts, however, yes? |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Or ranting about things like LaTaX :-) |
| 15:46 |
Gronk Seriman |
My time zone does not let me attend. I would like to, but can't. |
| 15:46 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Yes. I intend to put the prompts so far together for perusal. |
| 15:47 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I have made number of them, some very random |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Sometimes I get some comments about them but not often |
| 15:48 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And these are either to use directly or just to be inspired by? |
| 15:48 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
WRiter can use them the way the best suits to them |
| 15:49 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
I intend them to be inspiration for writing. But some have made visual art out of them. Suits me fine. |
| 15:49 |
Were All Mad Here whispers |
mmmmm... hot coffee,. |
| 15:50 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
has a gift for when we leave |
| 15:50 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If you want, Elf, it would be possible to put them on our website. |
| 15:50 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
OFten I cannot write anything sensible in English for the meeting myself. So I make no demands |
| 15:51 |
|
Agatha Macbeth smiles |
| 15:51 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
That could be one possibility. Selected older ones at the very least. |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:52 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anyone? |
| 15:52 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
