Are you well today? |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Pretty good. Nap after this, I've been at it nonstop til now. |
| 14:38 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 14:38 |
Ember (emberell) |
I approve of a nap |
| 14:39 |
Ember (emberell) |
I'm sorry again about my confusion last time |
| 14:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
We sorted it out ... no problem |
| 14:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I've caught up (going backward) on more of the general Q&A transcripts |

What's the news from the Commons, Ember? |
| 15:01 |
Agatha Macbeth |
Hello |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
I've been slowly decorating campus for the Halloween season. Besides that, I've been busy in RL - no major updates to notecards or the like yet. |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
Oxbridge is still looking for more help staff, so for those interested in getting involved please reach out to me, Word, or any of the other staff here and we can help you figure out how you can help out around here. |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
We're all very friendly folk :-) |
| 15:02 |
Ember (emberell) |
That's all from me this time |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That you Ember. So we don't bite seriously. ;) |
| 15:04 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
No do we swallow alive |

Hi Andrea. Announcements? |

Hi all. |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
The fundraiser dance is today. |
| 15:04 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |
YAY!!!! |
| 15:04 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Cool chair, btw. It's enough to make an ant leer. |

Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |

| 15:05 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |
that's nice, deer |
| 15:05 |
KayKay1Mckay |
thank you |
| 15:05 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
i can send you the landmark if you need it im me |
| 15:06 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
back to you word |
| 15:07 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Does the posted LM work now Andrea (i.e. landing point set)? |
| 15:07 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
TP routing is on, so you should end up there |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Then Caledon Oxbridge Village (127,214,3100) |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I paid tier for Oxbridge last Wednesday. Next payment will be 4 Jan 2023. |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
All instructor stipends are paid to date, and we remain in excellent financial shape. |

Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The weekly and monthly statistics summaries on the webpage are up to date |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Those are linked from http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The graphs and the map on the wall behind me have all been updated |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The class data had a data loss from 20-25 September. The webhost changed the home directory which affected a number of pages, but not the visitor monitor data. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That's it from me for today, so open for general questions, announcements, comas, .... |
| 15:15 |
|
Agatha Macbeth peers at Andrea |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Halloween must be approaching, we've got a skeleton crew today. |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Plenty of ghosts |
| 15:16 |
Ember (emberell) |
Maybe all the questions have been spooked away? |
| 15:16 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Firestorm viewer says there are over 40,000 residents in SL right now. Is that true? |
| 15:16 |
lovejoy2199 |
Well, at least we are not 'headless'. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
That sounds about right, Jef |
| 15:18 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
I guess I'm surprised because so many destinations have no one there. |
| 15:18 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Lots of people spread thinly all around |
| 15:18 |
lovejoy2199 |
SL is a very big place. |
| 15:19 |
Ember (emberell) |
Activity can often be concentrated to a few places, or just lightly spread. It depends on the community though |
| 15:19 |
Katie the Scamp (katie.canningham) |
yes - people gather for an event and then disperse again |
| 15:20 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The grid survey notes that there are 27,420 regions in SL |
| 15:21 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Wow! |
| 15:21 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
I get messages in Firestorm that I am using a different version than the one at a particular destination. What should I do about this? I am using 6.6.3 (67470), the latest version. |
| 15:22 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
please excuse me. I hope to see you all at the dance. A few things need to be done. |
| 15:22 |
Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) |
Different _server_ version. |
| 15:22 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay, Andrea. |
| 15:23 |
Ember (emberell) |
Some locations in SL run on different server versions - that's not something you can change as a user, it just lets you know what it is running and when it's changing from one to another |
| 15:23 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Hard to say, since FS is a client viewer not part of the sim server. |
| 15:24 |
Ember (emberell) |
Sometimes the viewer may alert you to an update to the viewer itself, but that won't change on a sim by sim basis |
| 15:25 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
On the other hand, some features can depend on support for sim updates being implemented into the viewer. |
| 15:25 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
So no action for me to take when I see this? |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Not that I know of, no. |
| 15:26 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
As long as you are running a current viewer. |
| 15:26 |
|
Ember (emberell) nods |
| 15:27 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are, as I recall, three versions of the sim software generally out there |
| 15:28 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There's the main release, the RC release, and I'm blanking on the name of the third. |
| 15:28 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Thanks |
| 15:28 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
I sometimes see little green crosses instead of green circles on the minimap. Are these residents. Some move around and disappear from time to time. |
| 15:29 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The dot display depends on the avatar's altitude relative to your own. |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
When the dot is a hash symbol, it can't be seen from your location or the viewer is having trouble determining their position relative to yours |
| 15:30 |
Ember (emberell) |
Most commonly that's due to extreme distance |
| 15:30 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
At least in the LL viewer, circles, up triangles and down triangles. |
| 15:31 |
Ember (emberell) |
But, for example, Primavera is a cross symbol on my minimap. I believe my viewer is having some trouble rendering her |
| 15:32 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:32 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
How can you get rid of the light colored stripes that go horizontally below the eyes in a classic male avatar? |
| 15:33 |
Ember (emberell) |
That'd be something a different skin could help clear up or fix. |
| 15:33 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you see those stripes on me, Jef? |
| 15:33 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
slightly |
| 15:34 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
It's the skin shading |
| 15:34 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
In some avatars they are very prominent |
| 15:35 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Even changing skins doesn't help some |
| 15:35 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
There are still skin choices out there, some may be relatively simplistic. |
| 15:37 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I don't think you can change that on other avatard, except by changing your lighting settings. On yourself, it's a matter of skin choice. |
| 15:37 |
Ember (emberell) |
Some skins will have more or less shading. You can always double check that you're not wearing any tattoos or the like, also, but generally it'll be something managing your skins can fix for yourself |
| 15:38 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Other questions? |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Going once |
| 15:39 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Going twice |
| 15:40 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
And, hearing nothing, we are adjourned. |
| 15:40 |
Jef (jefkerama) |
Thanks! |
