15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen Not a lot from me today, but I'm back to working on the three-language kiosks. I'm about 3/4 done with 3.05 which is the kiosk for Mouselook in the Hall of Camera Control. English and French images are done and I've a little more to finish up on the Spanish image.
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) yay. thankies
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've updated the Education Reserve map. Madori moved in a sim for the University of Puerto Rico.
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Associated with the medical school there
15:10 lovejoy2199 *smile*
15:10 Katie (katie.canningham) cool!
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'll be doing another sweep, since that was closed when I surveyed it and has since become open.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Elfbiter is still running his writers' workshop at 11am on Thursdays.
15:12 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Weird prompts still provided
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen With that, open to any general questions, comments, etc
15:12 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Tonight at the Goblin Cave: Fawlty Towers at 5:30, Patton at 6
15:12 highlyadjective Ahhhh Fawlty
15:13 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Cleese has been talking about reboot.
15:13 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) That's what Cynthia usually shows before the movie
15:13 highlyadjective I'm pretty uninterested in the constant rebootage
15:14 Katie (katie.canningham) ATM I think he's working on a stage version of The Life of Brian
15:14 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) She might show something different tonight for Memorial Day
15:14 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Hi again Labella
15:14 fluffyFoxy364 Shock has Gremlins Chalked in for next Sunday.
15:15 LABELLACIGAR (happyandnice) hiya
15:15 LABELLACIGAR (happyandnice) thanks for the invite
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen That reminds me, I did have to do an extra reboot of Oxbridge early in the last week. The sim had become email locked, a known bug, so that the schedule kiosks weren't updating.
15:15 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Shocky shows Star Trek: Lower Decks cartoons before his movies
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any other topics?
15:17 highlyadjective Not from me :)
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh, Larky has given me a couple of notecards of potential way-points for the Caledon Quest. I haven't had a chance to go through them yet, but will.
15:17 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Oh, Word, on the language thing...
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes, Liska?
15:18 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) How are we doing with Portuguese>
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Right now we aren't, Liska
15:18 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) A lot of folks from Brazil in SL now
15:19 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Something to think about
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen With the French and Spanish, we've had people do the translations (Jorge, Rodrigo, and Stereo).
15:20 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, I'd need a native speaker of Portuguese who is also fluent in English to provide the text.
15:21 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Felicia is not inworld as much as before.
15:21 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Yes, you'd probably have to look outside Caledon for that
15:21 Larky (larkylouz) There are always way more projects at Oxbridge than we have people to do them. Do talk to Word or Ember or I if you'd like to help on a project.
15:21 GrimmHeartt 3:
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen And right now, I've a lot more to do in getting through the tutorial with English, French, and Spanish before reconfiguring to add another language (which is entirely possible to do)
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen For example, yesterday, I did screen shots of the camera control window in English, French, and Spanish, having to change my viewer language and cycle logging for each change.
15:24 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Word also fills in the role of Dean of Engines. scripting for the COU
15:24 Wordsmith Jarvinen Then cropping and running a high-pass filter over it to improve the readability.
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Keeps things running
15:25 Larky (larkylouz) Also, although they need updating, our faculty has access to many notecards to help folks learn to use SL who don't speak English. Portuguese is one of the languages that has the most, as we do have a lot of people here from Brazil.
15:25 lovejoy2199 Interesting. An opportunity. But, no resource to take advantage of it.
15:25 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) excuse me. back to you word
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen No problem, Andrea. And webmaster (grins)
15:26 Liska da'Lantros (liskadalantros) Another who might be helpful with Spanish is Zantyago Mannonen, he's from Uruguay
15:26 lovejoy2199 Sounds as if we need a Provost. *smile*
15:26 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thanks Liska, good to know.
15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Any other topics?
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen Hearing none
15:28 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) chirp chirp
