Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Phrynne, won't make it today, but left me a few notes. |
| 15:03 |
Agatha Macbeth |
:( |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Scandaroon Beck is still looking for people to sponsor libraries. Likely give her a notecard if you are interested. |
| 15:05 |
Kara2016 |
cute. |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The Advent Calendar will be ready to go in a week. Phrynne will be decorating this coming week. |
| 15:05 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Woot |
| 15:05 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
She picked up some new winter trees. |
| 15:06 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(for the decorating, not for the Calendar) |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's all I have from Phrynne, who has supposedly been exhausting herself playing at a music festival. |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Winter is coming to Caledon, It's just a matter of Desmond making the time to come in and set the estate. So be prepared. The COU planing committee met last week and we will have several things going on this month. The fund raiser will be on the 15 th |

There will be a Christmas tree decoration contest. It will be for both residents and we will have participation by several other steam-land regions |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you have a likely venue for that yet, Andrea? |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ms Stereo Nacht is handling that aspect |
| 15:09 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
for the dance? |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Yes, for the dances. |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Ms star is building an area for us in the village, I have not heard yet if there will be a dance there. If not, I will have one ready for the park in the Village, or we may invade, er..um have it at the Guv's mansion |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And if you've settled on times, I can start looking for a poster background. |
| 15:10 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
wow, typos, |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
good thing i don't have to pay a fee on those |
| 15:11 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I'll edit those in doing the transcript. |
| 15:11 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do we have a name for the event? |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
We have not set times yet. That should be done the first part of the week |
| 15:12 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
no not yet word, the theme is .. looks off her notes |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
um a Victorian Christmas |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
or old time Christmas |
| 15:13 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
basically in theme with Caledon |
| 15:13 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, that points me in a direction for a poster background. |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:14 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
the fundraising for the decorate a Christmas tree will come from people voting on their favorite tree |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I've already started decorating parts of the village. |
| 15:15 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and i have iced over part of the water in the SSC area |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
more than enough for people to be able to really let go out there |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
and speed skate |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
etc |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Cool. |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(literally) |
| 15:16 |
|
LadyLyndon smiles |
| 15:16 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
be careful crossing the region border. The first time i placed the ice. you did not fall through. I did something wrong the second time |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I'll have to get some help on that |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I will holler when it is fixed |
| 15:17 |
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) |
Put up a "thin ice" sign :D |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:17 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
There will be Caledon Nights events this month aimed at the winter and Christmas theme |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
You simply need a prim on the side you are coming from that extends into the new sim. Can be path cut, so it doesn't extend backward and can be transparent. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
with SSC iced over there may be a ice party in December |
| 15:18 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's a delay between the time you cross into a sim and when its prims become solid to you. |
| 15:18 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
I tried and was not successful word. it was over three hours the first time and 2 the second. Many parcels there to work around |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
nods |
| 15:19 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
/me remembers being in a parade and colliding with the ghosts of the other participants in the sim border. |
| 15:19 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The island of the circle of sisters in the SSC region has a magic of it's own. There will be snow, but it stays green there |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
feel free to visit if you get tired of the ice and snow this year |
| 15:20 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
there will be a steampunk formal ball in the ballroom this Tuesday night |
| 15:21 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
DJ Piper steampunk will be out DJ. |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Please also remember that Ms Farshore has the region of Downs. She has setup an amazing region or things to play with and a area to explore. Visit it when you can. |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
ok looks back at Wordsmith |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Andrea. |
| 15:24 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've a stack of things to get onto, including translations and mesh class, so if I'm scarce in the next couple of weeks, don't worry, I haven't become a polar bear snack. |

Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) |

| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
This last week, I was again looking at methods for cataloging the Oxbridge Library. |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I thought those were totally occupied with Des, Aevalle. |
| 15:25 |
|
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) chuckles |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've received an old catalog from JJ who overheard a discussion on ISC. That's in spread-sheet format. I've been looking at an encoding called BibJSON, which can be handled under LSL scripting. http://okfnlabs.org/bibjson/ |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The ISC discussion also raised the question of uniform naming (what's called authority in the lib business). I'm looking at VIAF for that. They have a key for each author. http://viaf.org/ |
| 15:29 |
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) |
I hope you can import from the spreadsheets? Otherwise, that's going to be a ton of data entry. The Spiritualism collection alone is over 300 titles, I think. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think that's about it, apart from a couple formal balls and Sandie's Rez day. |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Jade |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Open for comments questions, notices. |

Agatha Macbeth |
I read there have been some virus issues with certain 3rd party viewers? |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
ty Lady Lyndon. Helps to keep us above the waves. |
| 15:31 |
LadyLyndon |
yvw :) |
| 15:31 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Any source, Agatha? |
| 15:32 |
Agatha Macbeth |
I received a notice about it a couple of days ago |
| 15:32 |
Soup Jonson |
My work is to check links in libraries and remove dead ones it is a constant cycle but I currently give to JJ to update spreadsheet as well as collections. Should I continue in that manner until new catalog is in place? |
| 15:32 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Advising only to download from official websites |
| 15:32 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Only FS has been affected as far as I know |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Good advice, as well as to scan the download before executing. |
| 15:33 |
|
Agatha Macbeth nods |
| 15:33 |
Lady Aev (aevalle.galicia) |
FS has a reminder on some of their splash screens to only download from the official site--other sites could have viruses. |
| 15:33 |
Kara2016 |
boy, Kansas and Chicogo really got the snow. |
| 15:33 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Yes |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
If I find a blog post on it I'll make an editorial insertion with the link.[https://modemworld.me/2018/11/13/firestorm-fake-website-and-downloads-warning/] |

Hi Sandie, I just came in as well. Nice to see you and everyone. |
| 15:35 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
raises snow arm for when it is appropriate |
| 15:36 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Soup, I'm not looking at other libraries yet, and collecting and updating information is useful. A spreadsheet can always be exported to CSV and transformed with a Python script. There are also existing routines for Bibson and also a set called BibUtils for format transforming. |
| 15:36 |
Soup Jonson |
Ok then Bibliomancer lives onward! |
| 15:36 |
|
Soup Jonson salutes |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Elfbiter has his Thursday 11 am Writers' meeting. |
| 15:37 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Just a mention. If you have something you would like to do with the fundraiser to help raise funds. Pleas elet me know. It's not too late to add something. |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
(and Village is a moderate sim, not a General one like Oxbridge itself) |
| 15:38 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Writing prompts provided :-) |
| 15:38 |
|
Soup Jonson smiles at Elf and motions for security |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Welcome, Brenda. |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other matters? |
| 15:39 |

Brenda (brendaharden) nods to the Chancellor |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Nothing more? |

Gronk Seriman |
I regret that it took this Library Crisis to make me understand how serious a resource they are. |
| 15:41 |
LadyLyndon |
:) |
| 15:41 |
James Michael (lmk9090) |
i agree with Gronk |
| 15:41 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
:-) |
| 15:41 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I think we all have learned something about that. |
| 15:42 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And the designing worlds video on Vimeo on libraries is worth the watch. |
| 15:43 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
https://vimeo.com/300961604 |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Anything else? |
| 15:44 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then we are adjourned. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you all for coming and participating. |

I'm not a stickler for titles. These meetings are fairly informal. |

Gronk Seriman |
Sleep well, EB! |

Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
