| 14:56 | Gronk Seriman | Good evening, Chancellor Jarvinen, everybody! |
| 14:58 | Lia (tokyorii) | Excuse my disappearance, I will return in like 10 minutes. |
| 14:58 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Rainy and Lightweaver |
| 14:59 | RainyDayRecess | Hello everyone ;) |
| 14:59 | Lightweaver Balan | good evening :) |
| 15:00 | RainyDayRecess | Cute Kitty Phrynne ;) |
| 15:00 | Phrynne | It's one of the Kittycats freebies for everyone |
| 15:00 | Phrynne | he purrs with hearts |
| 15:00 | RainyDayRecess | Nice, adorable little outfit |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea made it in before the bell stopped ringing. |
| 15:01 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php |
| 15:01 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Thank yo kara |
| 15:01 | Abigail Rose Bb (abigailmorgana) | Hello. an best wishes, everybody. I have not been to a Caledon meeting in a while. Please allow me to gather my garments, and a seat. |
| 15:02 | Kara2016 | <..is glad for high ceilings. |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | An answer to a question from one of the recent General Q&A's. There is a script counter at the end of one of the benches in the Oxbridge plaza. Just touch it. |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne do you have anything for today? |
| 15:03 | Phrynne | Yes, two things. |
| 15:04 | Phrynne | First, the long-awaited 2020 update to the Faculty Information Kit is available to staff through COU group notices. Please pick it up, read it, use it. |
| 15:04 | Phrynne | Second, you will notice the kit does not include the notecard with clues for the Quest. |
| 15:05 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Larky (larkylouz) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | This is because the Quest is still offline, and I do not have any news on when it will be working again. It requires rescripting after Caledon lost two regions recently. When it is back in order, I will put the notecard of clues out there. Remember to give them out only one at a time, and in IM. |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty, Miss Larky |
| 15:05 | Phrynne | And that's all. |
| 15:05 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you Larky ;) |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Phrynne. I'll contact Marion and see if he'll deed the quest to Oxbridge Engineer. |
| 15:07 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would allow me to take it over from him. |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | It would be good to have it working again. |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, do you have anything (announcements included)? |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the bi weekly fundraiser dance is today at 4 |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we will be at the steampunk mystery |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | a structure that was found with no indication as to who left it |
| 15:09 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | there are lots of steam punk things to look at |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | art, vehicles, and what looks like a game |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | dancing and music will be there |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | some of it looks from the future, some from the past, so what ever version steampunk you are comfortable with |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | in attire |
| 15:10 | Josain Zsun | Apologies Lag & flying not good inside. |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the surl is |

| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hope to see you there |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll probably slip out a bit early |
| 15:12 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | all for me Wordsmith |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Andrea |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The main thing I have is from last week, after the fundraiser at the Silver King (juke joint) |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We are 67 days into the quarter with all instructor stipends paid to date. Tier liability to date: 55,036. $L Nominal base reserve: 225,000. $L Target balance: 280,036 $L Actual Balance: 321,344 $L Surplus: 41,308 $L Silver King donations: 4,910. $L |
| 15:13 | Larky (larkylouz) | Wowsa. Good work! |
| 15:14 | Gronk Seriman | Woohoo! |
| 15:14 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly. |
| 15:15 | Cychwynn | looks good! |
| 15:15 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | So, Andrea and helpers have managed to build a surplus above our reserve, in contrast to a deficit at the beginning of July the last few years. |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Worries I don't see Sasha., will im her |
| 15:16 | RainyDayRecess | Nice work Andrea and all! |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Which likely means Andrea is due for some time just to relax a bit. |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I don't want to burn her out (well, what happens at Burn2 is different) |
| 15:17 | Kara2016 | smiles brightly. |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Instructor stipends are paid up through last night. |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I have to catch up on visitor statistics. |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With that, open for questions and other announcements. |
| 15:18 | Gronk Seriman | It will be interesting to see if the RL Boredom Bump lasts. |
| 15:19 | Ember (emberell) | I was surprised to see the Oxbridge village CAT station had gone (I know I am late to noticing this, haha). Was there a reason why it was taken away? |
| 15:19 | Phrynne | As far as I am aware, it was removed when the routes were redone a while ago. |
| 15:19 | Phrynne | You could ask Jorge Serapis for details. |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I think Jorge cut back a bit on the land he was renting. |
| 15:20 | Carl Metropolitan | Do we have the capacity of host a CAT terminal here? |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | There is an ongoing tier cost to anything and everything rezzed. |
| 15:20 | Carl Metropolitan | I think it would be a nice thing for new people to explore Caledon via. |
| 15:21 | Phrynne | That's a really good question. I would say no, but I don't know the LI of a standard CAT terminal. |
| 15:21 | Ember (emberell) | There is some interest in it. I realize I have been directing people to empty space for a bit now. |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I offered to let him have land to use in the village. he said no |
| 15:21 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | too many CATs in the same area i think he said |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've thought of rezzing the COLT (again) but also turning it into a feeder line. |
| 15:21 | Gronk Seriman | Could the COLT take people to a CAT station? |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | COLT = Caledon Oxbridge Little Testship |
| 15:22 | Carl Metropolitan | We are one sim over, and have a good reason to have one. |
| 15:22 | Lia (tokyorii) | I thought the train takes you? |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Over to Southend it does. |
| 15:24 | Ember (emberell) | It would be nice to have some link to the stations now, as the CATS are a big draw of CAledon and a great way to get students interested in the land. |
| 15:24 | Ember (emberell) | And the train is not as exciting to some. |
| 15:24 | Phrynne | Where, in a region full of buildings, would you put a CAT station? |
| 15:24 | Carl Metropolitan | Jorge often shows up at Q&A. Do you mind if I talk to him next time? |
| 15:25 | Cychwynn | noob question ... sorry i might be a bit sleepy ... were the CAT the air ships? |
| 15:25 | Phrynne | Caledon Air Transport |
| 15:25 | Phrynne | yes |
| 15:25 | Ember (emberell) | Yes! Caledon Air Transit |
| 15:25 | Phrynne | no problem, Carl |
| 15:25 | Carl Metropolitan | Rise a small island near the border and make a bridge to it. |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Where as the COLT could continue to operate from the dock behind the train station. |
| 15:25 | Carl Metropolitan | Or nuke the library that no one can update :) |
| 15:25 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi badgerfrozen |
| 15:25 | badgerofzen | hullo |
| 15:25 | Cychwynn | I always love(d) the airships passing over my home |
| 15:26 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) remembers the minisub | |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I liked the mini-subs |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | that reminds me. i have a steampunk vehicle rezzer I'll be putting out in the village soon. along ssc |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | for under water |
| 15:27 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, how lovely. |
| 15:27 | Lia (tokyorii) | We can drive them around underwater freely? :D |
| 15:27 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yes |
| 15:27 | RainyDayRecess | Great idea Andrea! |
| 15:27 | Ember (emberell) | 10,000 prims under the sea... |
| 15:27 | Gronk Seriman | Nice! |
| 15:27 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:27 | Cychwynn | ohhh that sounds amazing!! |
| 15:28 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | ... thirty-nine bottles of... oh, wrong song.... |
| 15:28 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:28 | lovejoy2199 | Watch out for sharks with lasers. |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Rainy, am I right that you and I just need to get together and put the right horse into a rezzer to be able to put out temp-attach horses (likely in Village)? |
| 15:30 | RainyDayRecess | Yes |
| 15:30 | RainyDayRecess | Nice little test horse |
| 15:30 | Phrynne | the laser sharks usually swim near the end of the Troll Bridge in the NW corner |
| 15:30 | Cychwynn | oh horse? |
| 15:31 | RainyDayRecess | Yeah, we've been working on animesh horses to ride around Caledon and Oxbridge Cychwenn |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | In the photonic flesh. |
| 15:31 | Gronk Seriman | The Village isn't right without the old cloppa-cloppa sound. |
| 15:31 | Cychwynn | Ahh fun! I know some people that will be very happy with that |
| 15:32 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Would the horse need the water? |
| 15:32 | RainyDayRecess | Aww, and I haven't even made any sounds for the horse yet ;( |
| 15:32 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Ihaa? |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Just an occasional drink. It's not a water horse. |
| 15:32 | Cychwynn | well they might be by water horse ,.... |
| 15:32 | Cychwynn | ;) |
| 15:34 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Depends on the texture... |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'm sure there a some coconut clomping sounds out there somewhere, Rainy. |
| 15:34 | RainyDayRecess | We will release this version of horses and get lots of feedback from all |
| 15:34 | Larky (larkylouz) | the sounds are the best part, Rainy. I often relax by taking my horse for a ride, and the hoofbeats are great! |
| 15:34 | RainyDayRecess | Yes, good idea |
| 15:34 | Cychwynn | (well depends on the maker, as water horse is an SL horse creator) |
| 15:35 | Cychwynn will shush now | |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, this will be a Rainy horse but not a Water horse. |
| 15:36 | Cychwynn | :) |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | Oh, I think I like that...... |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Rainy's been very sleet to create it, despite an ungodly busy schedule. |
| 15:36 | Cychwynn | very curious to see them :D |
| 15:36 | Cychwynn | love horses |
| 15:36 | RainyDayRecess | Thanks Word ;) |
| 15:36 | Cychwynn | collect teegles |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | 'snow worries. Rainy does awesome work. |
| 15:37 | Gronk Seriman | Pretty horsie! |
| 15:37 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I caught that, Larky. ;) |
| 15:37 | Larky (larkylouz) | wow, Rainy |
| 15:38 | Larky (larkylouz) | It was intended for you, Wordsmith. ;^) |
| 15:38 | Cychwynn | ooeeee great horse!!! |
| 15:38 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yes she does |
| 15:38 | Gronk Seriman | That is spectacular! |
| 15:38 | Carl Metropolitan | Will that be animated, too? |
| 15:38 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you Larky ;) |
| 15:39 | RainyDayRecess | This is the smaller version, the first one was way too big ;( |
| 15:39 | Lia (tokyorii) | Just wanna be sure, We will be able to ride the horses throughout Caledon and Oxbridge |
| 15:39 | RainyDayRecess | Yes, it's animated |
| 15:39 | Cychwynn | good size! |
| 15:39 | Lia (tokyorii) | Correct? |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes, I've a rideable prototype in a rezzer |
| 15:39 | Phrynne | Yes, Lia, just no going faster than a walk inside the buildings |
| 15:39 | Cychwynn claps for Rainy's horse!!! | |
| 15:39 | Carl Metropolitan | Oh wow |
| 15:40 | Carl Metropolitan | That's amazing |
| 15:40 | Lia (tokyorii) | Understood! |
| 15:40 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | she did good work |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Well, Oxbridge itself may be iffy. |
| 15:40 | Carl Metropolitan | Did you use Animesh? |
| 15:40 | RainyDayRecess | Yes, it's Animesh |
| 15:40 | Ember (emberell) | It's magnificent. |
| 15:40 | Kara2016 | what a beautiful horse. |
| 15:40 | Phrynne | that's a good size. |
| 15:41 | RainyDayRecess | This was the first one, way too big |
| 15:41 | Carl Metropolitan | You are going to scare the Water Horse people :) |
| 15:41 | Cychwynn | Yes! are these at all fore sale anywhere by chance? |
| 15:41 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Should you take the people to the water, then? :-) |
| 15:41 | Cychwynn | (would love one lol) |
| 15:42 | Gronk Seriman | Will the horse have a buggie? Or do you simply ride it? |
| 15:42 | RainyDayRecess | We are thinking about selling them for Oxbridge when we get everything right |
| 15:42 | Lia (tokyorii) | I cant wait! |
| 15:42 | Cychwynn | oh can't wait rainy!!! |
| 15:42 | RainyDayRecess | I've also made a carriage |
| 15:42 | Cychwynn | would be very interested in buying! |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Rainy has also done a buggy. Just haven't got it all together and route scripted. |
| 15:43 | Gronk Seriman | ...or will buggies already available be able to attach to it? |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Rainy, do you have a buggy you can rez. |
| 15:43 | RainyDayRecess | How do I rez a carriage here Word? |
| 15:43 | Lightweaver Balan | very carefully |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Pull it out of inventory onto the floor. |
| 15:43 | RainyDayRecess | It won't let me ;( |
| 15:44 | RainyDayRecess | Ah, got it |
| 15:44 | RainyDayRecess | Thanks |
| 15:44 | Larky (larkylouz) | awesome |
| 15:44 | Carl Metropolitan | Wow. |
| 15:44 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Oxbridge Horse Traders! You can check the mouth of the mount as well! |
| 15:44 | Lia (tokyorii) | Oh I CANT WAIT! |
| 15:44 | Jan Stroikavskoi | Lovely work Rainy :) |
| 15:44 | RainyDayRecess | Cute one Lightweaver :D |
| 15:44 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you Jan ;) |
| 15:44 | Carl Metropolitan | Those are both beautiful |
| 15:44 | Jan Stroikavskoi | ;) |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | When I take her out in the surrey, .... |
| 15:45 | Cychwynn | Great Idea Mr. Elf!!! |
| 15:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:45 | Cychwynn | oohhh wonderfull buggy!!! |
| 15:45 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you ;) |
| 15:45 | Lia (tokyorii) | Lovely job |
| 15:45 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Finns also have the phrase about the gift horse.... | |
| 15:46 | Gronk Seriman | Very pretty! |
| 15:46 | RainyDayRecess | Ty ;) |
| 15:46 | Kara2016 | i like the colors. |
| 15:46 | Cychwynn | me 2! |
| 15:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And Rainy on the horse acquires a look of command. |
| 15:47 | RainyDayRecess | Thank you all for the feedback! |
| 15:47 | Gronk Seriman | I wonder if that would work with my Teegle. |
| 15:47 | RainyDayRecess | :D |
| 15:48 | RainyDayRecess | No the carriage has to be rigged for the horse |
| 15:48 | Gronk Seriman | I thought so. |
| 15:48 | Gronk Seriman pouts | |
| 15:49 | RainyDayRecess | sorry ;( |
| 15:50 | Cychwynn | Epic Caledon horse update though :D |
| 15:50 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Lia (tokyorii) gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |
| 15:50 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thank you Lia for the donation |
| 15:50 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Touching on other things, Elfbiter does his 11 am Thursday writing workshop. |
| 15:51 | RainyDayRecess | There won't be land impact on the Animesh horses since you wear them btw |
| 15:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've put a bit into finishing up a dance hall venue that I started at least a couple of years ago. Plans for it are TBD. |
| 15:51 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | quietly slips out of her chair and slips off to the dance. Hope to see you there. |
| 15:51 | Ember (emberell) | Take care, Andrea! Thanks for your hard work! |
