Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2019-03-10

14:58 RainyDayRecess Hello everyone ;)
14:58 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks Kara and Cal. Every bit helps.
15:00 Lia (tokyorii) Hello Rainy.
15:00 Caledon Rasalgethi (saeldurrae) Rainy! *hugs*
15:00 RainyDayRecess Hello Lia, how are you doing?
15:01 Wordsmith Jarvinen Time to start.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. Transcripts will be posted after the meeting.
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, can you start?
15:03 Phrynne Yes, I have two things
15:03 Phrynne First, I wanted you all to know that Caledon Oxbridge has opened a Consulate in the independent country of Jadida Mondrago.
15:04 Phrynne This is a place where people can get information on classes at Oxbridge, as well as books (from our library) on travels in the Mediterranean and elsewhere, and references on Steampunk.
15:04 Phrynne The grand opening has not happened yet, but it will.
15:05 Phrynne At this point I'm finalizing bits and pieces of the exhibit in the building -- it is two rooms, one for information and one for conference.
15:05 Gronk Seriman Very nice!
15:05 Phrynne And when the Grand Opening is scheduled, I'll be sure to let you know.
15:05 Phrynne The second item is a bit sadder.
15:05 Phrynne The Exploratorium, a General-rated science museum, is a copy of a museum in San Francisco, created by that museum's creator, who has died. The inworld museum is to be taken down next month. Walk through it and play with optical illusions, solar eclipses, information on nuclear reactors, and much much more. Do it now, before it goes away
15:06 Phrynne Exploratorium (129,161,28)
15:06 Samm Florian :(
15:06 Phrynne It's a great place and you should see it before it vanishes
15:07 Phrynne And that's all from me for now.
15:08 Gronk Seriman Wow. How sad.
15:08 RainyDayRecess ;(
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen That is sad that they are not able to maintain the inworld display. The RL Exploratorium is a great place for some experiential science.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks, Phrynne.
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) We will be having a fundraising event this coming sat the 16th from 7 to 8. DJ Tribly will be our DJ for the evening as she she brings us music to belly dance to. Dress theme will be belly dancing outfits. Please remember that we will be on the ground in the Oxbridge Village so dress accordingly.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) there will be some give away items. This is the first fundraiser for the new year and another will soon follow.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) A notice will go out today on it.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) and maybe a poster
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) it is short notice, so please help get the word out
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Will be small event as I get started.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Poster to you later this afternoon, Andrea
15:11 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) I'll poke Neu Wulfenstadt, see if I can get them to attend.
15:11 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Will be seeing to an April event soon
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Many thanks
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) looks back to Wordsmith
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nothing much from me this week due to RL needs and a minor flu bug.
15:13 Wordsmith Jarvinen Some minor improvements of organization on translations.
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, and the CVL-Caledon Sci-Fi short story discussion is this Thursday at 5pm. I'll be posting details on COUG and ISC again. It will be held at the Meeting Center in Southend..
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, open for general questions, comments, etc.
15:16 Lia (tokyorii) Was it where the last one was, with the yellow overcast thing on the top?
15:16 Phrynne If you mean in South End, yes, though I think the roof has been raised a little.
15:17 Lia (tokyorii) Ahhh, Okay, Thank you.
15:17 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still intending to host the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays 11:00 AM....
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yep. I'm going to modify the roof a bit before the meeting. It's been raised by stretching, but needs a mod at the mesh level.
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty for that Elfbiter.
15:19 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Not earlier, unlikely to be later.
15:19 Gronk Seriman dances in her bench a little and raises her hands in the "raise the roof" style.
15:19 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) chuckles at Gronk.
15:19 Lia (tokyorii) Haha
15:19 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) :-)
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen Miss Gronk?
15:20 Gronk Seriman Ho comment, just having fun!
15:20 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) ....Gronk just wanna have fu-un...
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Fun is good. The greater the intelligence, the greater the need for play.
15:21 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) Otherwise one goes slightly mad.
15:21 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) On top of the madness already present *laughs*
15:21 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) If one takes oneself too seriously, one certainly goes mad....
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen I thought one had to be slightly crazy to stay sane.
15:21 Gronk Seriman All work and no play makes Homer a dull boy.
15:22 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) See that's the thing, Word. Crazy has levels...
15:22 Sandie Harbour It is crazy to be sane
15:22 RainyDayRecess :D
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen The sweet spot is somewhere between total chaos and complete stagnation.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else for today?
15:24 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) Good luck finding that spot *laughs*
15:24 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Carriages?
15:24 RainyDayRecess Carriages are done, but still working on the horse, working on it today
15:25 Wordsmith Jarvinen Requires Rainy getting a life back (from work).
15:25 RainyDayRecess Seriously
15:25 RainyDayRecess Been working on it today, the animations
15:25 Lia (tokyorii) Wait, we will be able to ride carriages on school grounds officially?
15:25 Lia (tokyorii) :D ?!
15:25 Phrynne Not that kind of carriage, Lia.
15:25 Lia (tokyorii) Oh
15:25 Lia (tokyorii) Awwwww
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen It will be a set route into Village and back.
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Other matters?
15:27 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) Other than I'm already hating DST? Nope.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hearing none,
15:27 Phrynne You and me both, Caladon
15:27 Gronk Seriman How close are things to installing the translating boards in the Orientation?
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen We are adjourned to the Bashful Peacock and the Rose Hunt, etc.
15:28 Samm Florian The Rose Hunt is goin' on today if you don't already know.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you all for coming and participating.
15:28 RainyDayRecess Thank you Samm ;)
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) goes back to the light house i'm setting up in the village

15:29 Gronk Seriman Hini, EB!
15:29 RainyDayRecess Sweet Dreams Elfbiter
15:29 Lia (tokyorii) Do we collect them? like how in the caledon quest we have to click the medals?
15:29 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Be seeing you
15:29 Wordsmith Jarvinen A Caledon tradition Lia. Roses are hidden on each sim (limited edition).
15:29 Lia (tokyorii) Another challenge accepted!
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen And you search, find if you can, and touch to collect.
15:30 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) One of our very few remaining traditions *grumbles slightly*
15:31 Lia (tokyorii) Understood
15:32 Lia (tokyorii) Is the meeting over deans? There is a flower at Oxbridge I must go find :D
15:32 Samm Florian Good luck, Lia!
15:32 Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) Yep, we're adjourned for the day
15:32 RainyDayRecess Have fun Lia
15:32 Kara2016 giggles.
15:32 Lia (tokyorii) Thank you!~
15:32 Samm Florian And there's no rose hidden in here, btw.
15:32 RainyDayRecess Thank you Deans
15:33 Sandie Harbour thank-you Deans
15:33 Samm Florian Though I was just thinkin' this afternoon that this might be considered fair game.
15:33 Phrynne I would say no, it isn't.
15:33 Phrynne just as I would say that the dressing rooms aren't, either.
