14:55 Wordsmith Jarvinen Oh Deer, Ember
14:55 Ember (emberell) He's still in the hospital recovering last I hear
14:55 Ember (emberell) It'll take a bit, he mentioned he might be out a week or more
14:55 lovejoy2199 When did that happen?
14:56 Wordsmith Jarvinen I just heard from Phrynne last night. Elfbiter went in thinking it was allergies but they detected pneumonia and admitted him.
14:57 Ember (emberell) nods
14:57 Ember (emberell) He sent me an email saying he might be out at least a couple days, but I want to encourage him to rest as much as he can

15:01 lovejoy2199 Sibelius!!! The Elf is not here to hear it.
15:01 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Greetings mr Singh, it has been a long time
15:01 Boomer Singh hello, Miss Jones.
15:01 Kyoko Barzane (samara.barzane) What do we hear about the Elf?
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen Ember, what do you have for us today?
15:02 Katie (katie.canningham) I heard he has pneumonia
15:02 Ember (emberell) This week has been a bit rough for me RL side. A lot of my extra time on SL has gone to the plaza, and a little bit of forward progress on notecards in the faculty kit.
15:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Rainy
15:02 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) gtsy
15:02 Ember (emberell) I'm a bit behind where I'd like to be with summertime campus decor, also. But I hope to catch up this week.
15:02 Wordsmith Jarvinen OMG, Rainy. We are honored (bows)
15:03 Ember (emberell) As usual. Oxbridge is always looking for new tutors, or other folk who want to be involved and help out. IF there's any way you want to contribute at Oxbridge here, feel free to reach out to me, or any of the other staff and we'll help get you situated.
15:03 Ember (emberell) That's it from me today. And welcome, Rainy :-)
15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty, Ember
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:04 Andrea Jones (Andreajonesms) We Will Have A Fundraiser Dance This Coming Sunday. More To Come On That Later This Week. I Understand Sasha Is Doing The Build So I'm Waiting For Updates From Her.
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) back to you Wordsmith
15:05 Wordsmith Jarvinen ty, Andrea
15:05 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) most welcome
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen I paid tier for the next quarter (13 weeks or 91 days) last Wednesday.
15:08 Lyn (lyn.navarita) Sorry, ARing spammer in groups
15:08 Wordsmith Jarvinen We are still in excellent financial shape, but our surplus decreased by about 7k $L since 24 June, the third such decrease. Hopefully this will change now that RFL has been run.
15:08 Ember (emberell) Welcome, Lyn
15:09 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I may use Mint to set out some shoulderpets for sale somwhere
15:09 Wordsmith Jarvinen The statistics on our website are current to today, but I haven't yet had time to update the graphs
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen I've updated links to Tangos on the Ad Panels in the Plaza and on the sponsors page on our website. They recently moved from a dedicated sim to the mainland. I still need to get a new description from them.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen I discovered last night the move Oxbridge had a bit ago had permanently parked the small airship on the dock behind the train station. The routing uses global coordinates which changed. I fixed that last night, so it flies around Oxbridge again.
15:13 Larky (larkylouz) oxbridge moved?
15:13 Ember (emberell) Oh, wonderful!
15:14 Katie (katie.canningham) ah, is that why the kitties ended up in strange places?
15:14 Kyoko Barzane (samara.barzane) yep Larky
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen I'm going to have limited access from the 14th through the 22nd of July. Going to a Society of Mathematical Biology conference. IMs to me will continue to go to emails.
15:14 Katie (katie.canningham) oo sounds like fun!
15:15 Wordsmith Jarvinen Most things, including landmarks are not affected by a sim move. But the little airship at the CATs use global coordinates for the routing. Those do change when a sim is moved.
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen That's it from me for today, open for general questions, comments, announcements, comas, ...
15:16 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) those virtual pets of ours seem to have the ability to get into and under floors
15:17 Kyoko Barzane (samara.barzane) *giggles*
15:17 Katie (katie.canningham) and on hangar roofs
15:18 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nothing?
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) i think her wander range was too high and she walked out the wall
15:18 Ember (emberell) They're sort of like tribbles... they get everywhere.
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) oh tribbles
15:18 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) do you wnt a tribble?
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen The traditional solution is a TP to a Klingon ship, where "they won't be any tribble at all".
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) the great tribble hunt
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) poor tribbles
15:19 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) I thought dr mccoy fixed em
15:20 Ember (emberell) :-)
15:20 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) Any way,
15:20 Larky (larkylouz) giggles
15:20 Katie (katie.canningham) I gotta find my tribble
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen The Oxbridge SL20B build is till up at SLB Celebrate (52,197,24)
