| 15:02 | lovejoy2199 | Hello Highly |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | I'll be swapping up the campus decor soon, but as usual my work has mostly been in the notecards and campus safety area. I've been a bit slower than usual this week, but I'm hoping to have some new resources added to the kit soon. |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | Other than that, Oxbridge is always looking for new help staff - whether tutors, teachers, or otherwise. If you're interested, just let me or any of the other staff here know, and we'll figure out how to get you involved |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | That's it from me today! 💛 |
| 15:04 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Hi Evey! |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty, Ember. I look forward to seeing fall appear on campus |
| 15:04 | Strandwind | Heyaaaa Evey! |

| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Evey |

| 15:04 | Ali (sungali) greets Evey with a foxy grin. | |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |

| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | the Wednesday night event for the COU will be posted Tuesday night. |
| 15:06 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | HI Quantis! |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | other wise back top you Wordsmith |
| 15:06 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Hi Larky! |
| 15:06 | Strandwind | Heyaaaa Larky! |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty, Andrea |
| 15:06 | Ember (emberell) | Welcome, Larky, Quantis! |
| 15:07 | Quantis (quantisigel) | Good day everyone :) |
| 15:08 | highlyadjective | Sorry,I will ask a quickie, does anyone else have trouble with the most recent Firestorm? |
| 15:09 | lovejoy2199 | Question: Who doesn't |
| 15:09 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | I just downloaded it today, so I will let you know |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I'm still looking into the music stream not working. I've verified that it is set to what it has been, and that the source still exists. I suspect they have changed the details of their stream, and I'll have to parse out what it currently is. The source is at https://theclassicalstation.org/ |
| 15:09 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | I only see my head right now |
| 15:09 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | lol |
| 15:10 | lovejoy2199 | Ty Chancellor |
| 15:10 | highlyadjective | Well the rest of you is just as delightful Sasha :) |
| 15:10 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | ha ha thank you |
| 15:10 | Strandwind | The only issue I have with the recent Firestorm, is that I often crash when teleporting. - All the rest is fine. |
| 15:10 | highlyadjective | It was slow for me and not rendering things, maybe a PBR problem? |
| 15:11 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | For me the FPS has been in three figures and more sudden crashes. |
| 15:11 | lovejoy2199 | BugSplat, Strandwind? |
| 15:11 | Ali (sungali) | "The speed issue is being addressed, both in LL and on the FS team. They say newer versions in the pipeline will be much better. There are alpha builds of both the LL and FS viewers you can try if you like," |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | If it's any consolation, Sasha, I had to relog to check the TP setting and relog again to have every thing rez here, on the LL viewer, and having the viewer play the music stream has been iffy lately. I've fallen back on the VLC player a lot. |
| 15:12 | Katie (katie.canningham) | BugSplats for me |
| 15:12 | Evey (evey45) | I haven't downloaded the new one, and I'm not planning too, but many people complain about the crashes. I have the bugsplat issue too Lovejoy |
| 15:12 | Strandwind | Yes, lovejoy. |
| 15:12 | Evey (evey45) | for me too Katie and I'm using the 6.6.17 version |
| 15:12 | Quantis (quantisigel) | I've had a few bugsplats but it seems ok, but I don't have anything to compare it to |
| 15:12 | highlyadjective | I have 6.6.17 now too |
| 15:12 | highlyadjective | Anyway glad it is not just me |
| 15:12 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | I think I only had one tp bump me offline so far |
| 15:12 | Katie (katie.canningham) | I'm on 7.1.9 |
| 15:13 | highlyadjective | Excuse me, I must pull apart a cooked chicken so I will sit here without typing :) |
| 15:13 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | hb highly |
| 15:13 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oxbridge remains in very good financial condition although our account is down by about 2500 $L from the last Deans' Q&A. |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's with all stipends paid in each case. |
| 15:14 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Bugsplat often comes when I just normally close the program... |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | No updates on the graphs here for today, although the monthly and weekly statistics summaries on our website are updated. |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | https://www.caledonoxbridge.org/statistics/index.php |
| 15:17 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's about it for me today, other than I'm focusing on catching up on the transcripts |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Oh. |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oh, I was able to get the donation coin script from a donation coin, so I will be able to see what I need to change to get monthly totals working again. |
| 15:19 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | nice |
| 15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | interjection. This coming Tuesday night at 6. We have a parodies and comedies night at foxys pub. Sponsored by caledonian nights. |
| 15:19 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And with that open for general questions, comments, announcements. |
| 15:19 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thank you for handling the scripting for us here Wordsmith |
| 15:20 | lovejoy2199 | Yes. For the Deans, keep an eye out for "Medieval Crusaders" using voice. Am I correct, Chancellor |
| 15:20 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We have a new multi-part scripting class starting soon and a class on LUA, which is planned to become an SL scripting language |
| 15:21 | lovejoy2199 | correct |
| 15:22 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | LUA is also used elsewhere |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I don't know of them, lovejoy, although we did have a group of griefers show up at a VWEC chat (now region banned) |
| 15:22 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yep, for instance with Gollie, which implements Conway's game of life. |
| 15:23 | Strandwind | I am really looking forward to Suzanna's scripting classes. She is an awesome teacher. |
| 15:24 | Strandwind | And she cares so much about her students and their projects. |
| 15:24 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | 3 sessions per week, teaching and then review |
| 15:24 | Ali (sungali) | Lua is an entertaining language. Very different philosophy from LSL. I look forward to using it here myself. |
| 15:25 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | How would everyone like a class to teach hosting & dj'ing? I was thinking on my Bi-weekly dance dance a couple hours before running a class |
| 15:25 | Strandwind | Aye, that is much but Suzanna is really good and caring. Thanks to Ali, that she will assist Suzanna! |
| 15:25 | Katie (katie.canningham) | awesome idea Sasha! |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The first step LL is planning is running LSL under LUA rather than Mono. Scripts are both faster and take up about half the memory, so more can be done in a script. |
| 15:26 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would be fine with me Sasha |
| 15:27 | Strandwind | Yay, I am looking forward to Lua and I hope, Suzanna will explain about it at the end of September. |
| 15:27 | highlyadjective | Sounds interesting, even if I won't become a DJ :) |
| 15:27 | Evey (evey45) | I agree. She is awesome and invests a lot of time and effort to help her students |
| 15:28 | Evey (evey45) | and Ali is a genius! |
| 15:28 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Cool, so I talk to Ember about setting the time & tags? |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Nope, you talk with me and give me a short summary for pop-up on the webpage schedule |
| 15:29 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Ok |
| 15:29 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Thanks |
| 15:29 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And here's the LUA reference, just since I have it open: https://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/manual.html |
| 15:30 | Ali (sungali) | "Perhaps a slightly broken one. For those who don't know, I do have a pretty significant brain injury. My organizational skills are pretty much shot and I can do or say inappropriate stuff sometimes without meaning to be offensive. If I do say or do something you find annoying, please don't take offense. Assume its the brain injury and let me know, and I'll try to do better." |
| 15:30 | Quantis (quantisigel) | Oh so this one would now include a boolean? |
| 15:31 | Evey (evey45) | :) Ali |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yep Quantis, and the language is dynamically typed, so variables do not have types, only values have types |
| 15:32 | Ali (sungali) | I rather hope they use the 64 bit version than the 32 bit version. |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any other topics? |
| 15:32 | highlyadjective | Not from me |
| 15:33 | Quantis (quantisigel) | I"m just skimming over that manual, thank you for sending that link |
| 15:33 | Ember (emberell) | If you do want to schedule a test run of a class though, I'd be happy to talk with some of the tutors about attending |
| 15:33 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | yvw, Quantis |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And one of the authors of that has a book "Programming in Lua", 4th Ed. |
| 15:36 | Evey (evey45) | this is a very silly question maybe, but I'd like to ask... if LL decided to revert or fix the viewer, would we still use LUA? |
| 15:36 | Katie (katie.canningham) quietly sings "Lua Lua" | |
| 15:36 | Strandwind | No other questions from me. |
| 15:36 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Here's another couple of links relative to SL: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/513731-lsl-on-lua-faq-added-to-the-wiki/ |
| 15:36 | Evey (evey45) | ty |
| 15:37 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That's the LSL on LUA FAQ, and here's the LUA FAQ https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Lua_FAQ |
| 15:38 | Ali (sungali) | Personal request: Can I have the title of Tutor added to my list of available title options? It's closer to the Teaching Assistant role I'll be fulfilling for Suzanne. |
| 15:38 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sure Ali |
| 15:38 | Ali (sungali) | Thanks |
| 15:39 | Strandwind | Yay for Ali! |
| 15:39 | Evey (evey45) | Great! |
| 15:39 | Ember (emberell) | I can do that just now in fact |
| 15:39 | Evey (evey45) | :D |
| 15:39 | Quantis (quantisigel) | I'll have a read through those, thanks again :) I used to buy the O'Reilly In A Nutshell books all the time for learning new languages or operating systems, but I see they don't publish them anymore. |
| 15:39 | Ember (emberell) | You should have access to that for classes now, Ali |
| 15:40 | Ember (emberell) | If there's any trouble on campus or anything of the like, please just let me know. I do my best to keep campus safe |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | ty Ember |
| 15:40 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | Thank you Ember for your safety!! |
| 15:40 | Ali (sungali) | Thanks Ember. |
| 15:40 | Evey (evey45) | I'm very thankful for that Ember |
| 15:40 | Evey (evey45) | (( she was my guardian angel)) |
| 15:40 | Strandwind | Thank you, Ember! |
| 15:40 | highlyadjective | Thank you Ember and Andrea and Wordsmith and Sasha and Elf and everyone |
| 15:41 | Strandwind | Aye, thank you all! |
| 15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Anything else? |
| 15:41 | highlyadjective | Nice, Andrea :D |
| 15:41 | Ali (sungali) | Looks like it may take a little time to update in the system. |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sometimes you have to relog to see it, Ali. |
| 15:42 | Sasha Prismara Featherlight (sashaveiloftears) | I messaged you Word when you have a chance after meeting |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I saw that Sasha, thanks |
| 15:42 | Ember (emberell) | It may need a relog, or just closing the group window and reopening it |
| 15:42 | Evey (evey45) | :) |
| 15:43 | Ember (emberell) | If it still gives you trouble after a relog please let me know |
| 15:43 | Ember (emberell) | I'll try'n sort it out |
| 15:43 | Evey (evey45) | yay |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I've got a number of O'Reilly books myself, Quantis |
| 15:43 | highlyadjective | Try a gpupdate/force Ali :) |
| 15:44 | Ali (sungali) | "There we go, changing groups and changing back updated it." |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing no other topics brought up..... |
| 15:44 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | We are .... |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | adjourned |
| 15:45 | Quantis (quantisigel) | You should see what my copy of Unix in a Nutshell looks like, pretty ragged at this point . |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you all for coming |
| 15:45 | Katie (katie.canningham) | many thanks Deans Jones, Jarvinen, and Ember! |
| 15:45 | Evey (evey45) | Thank you everyone! |

| 15:47 | Ali (sungali) eyes the contraption on Elfbiter's back. "I hope your jacket is flame resistant, Elfbiter." | |
| 15:47 | highlyadjective | Elf is a certified expert in using it, has to renew the license every year |
| 15:49 | Evey (evey45) | Lol |
| 15:49 | Evey (evey45) | thank you so much. I'm very happy to see you all! |
