Caledon Oxbridge Q&A for 2019-01-27
| 14:47 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi vova |
| 14:48 | Vova (0818180) | c: hello |
| 14:49 | Phrynne | hello |
| 14:49 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | HI Phrynne |
| 14:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hiya, Dean Phrynne. You be back. |
| 14:50 | Phrynne | It went well -- long but good |
| 14:50 | Phrynne | I got a bit lost in the roads coming back -- I think some were designed by an architect channeling an earthworm |
| 14:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That would complicate the route. |
| 14:51 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | at least you made it home |
| 14:52 | Phrynne | it's actually easier coming back than going -- there are too many one-way streets in that development |
| 14:52 | Phrynne | which was laid out about 1910 |
| 14:53 | Kara2016 | greetings all. |
| 14:53 | Oxbridge Donation Coin R1 (Alternate Lecture Hall) | Kara2016 gave a generous donation to help support classes and tutorials at Caledon Oxbridge Gateway. |

| 15:02 | WriterGal | goodness, I'll have to stop mousing around until I fix my AO otherwise everyone will know I'm looking around *grins* |
| 15:02 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) nods hello to everyone | |
| 15:02 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | Quite alright, WriterGal. |
| 15:02 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | AOs can be fickle. |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Looking around is acceptable. |
| 15:03 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Agatha |
| 15:03 | Mademoiselle de Staël (erikanilson) | Profile perving is the state sport of SL |
| 15:03 | Agatha Macbeth | Good day sir |
| 15:03 | WriterGal | *grins* |
| 15:03 | WriterGal | I shall be an all-star then! |
| 15:03 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Greetings Mr Soy |
| 15:04 | Mowgli Soy | *waves to Miss Jones and apologises to M. Brenda!* |
| 15:04 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | hi badger frozen |
| 15:05 | badgerofzen | hullo |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; all are welcome except for those whose intent is to misbehave in a disruptive manner. Other misbehaving is at your discretion. |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted after the meeting (and yes I have some catching up to do). |
| 15:06 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Phrynne, can you start? |
| 15:06 | Phrynne | Welcome to the start of Year 11 in the life of Caledon Oxbridge! |
| 15:06 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | Yay! |
| 15:07 | Agatha Macbeth | Oh |
| 15:07 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) unfurls two flags and waves them | |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | We celebrated the first 10 years yesterday -- I think I saw most of you at one or both of the dances. |
| 15:07 | Phrynne | Carl Metropolitan came inworld for the dance and said good things about Oxbridge; he hopes to visit more often as RL gets a bit easier. |
| 15:07 | Ember (emberell) | It was a great celebration! |
| 15:07 | Mademoiselle de Staël (erikanilson) | Gosh, I'm sorry I missed that! |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | And now for the next year... |
| 15:08 | Agatha Macbeth | Hope he's OK |
| 15:08 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) feels sorry to have missed it | |
| 15:08 | WriterGal | It was lovely |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | He said he was well. |
| 15:08 | Agatha Macbeth | Yay |
| 15:08 | Phrynne | I have been continuing to work on making a wishing well for Oxbridge -- since we need to have a little bit of education that you can take with you. |
| 15:09 | Phrynne | For a tiny amount, down to 1 $L, you could get a notecard with a one-line saying, credited, so you can look it up. |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | I added more entries to the list of quotations, and I've given the list and the well and the script for it to Word to put together, because I do not have the necessary knowledge to be able to make those tiny donations go where they should go. It's not at the top of the list, but it should be out there sometime this year. |
| 15:10 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Sometime this quarter, at the minimum |
| 15:10 | Phrynne | I am thinking of using it to replace the fountain that is near the exit from the College of Avatar Customization and the College of Money and Finance -- since the animations on that fountain aren't fixable, and if you try to sit down you get very wet. |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | I checked the same fountain located somewhere else, and found the same script error, so it's not just ours. |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | Anyway, that's what I've been up to. |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | I am also starting to think of spring flowers and hope to check my links for them this week. |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | since spring is coming. |
| 15:11 | Phrynne | (and the rink will go away then) |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Phrynne (sneezes at the pollen) |
| 15:12 | Phrynne | *hands Word a hanky |
| 15:12 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) chuckles | |
| 15:12 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) tosses Word a packet of tissues | |
| 15:12 | Agatha Macbeth | Bless you |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | (smiles) |
| 15:12 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:13 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Nothing much this week, The ball wasn't a fundraiser event, though we had a coin there. We will have a report later on what it brought in. |
| 15:13 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) hands out tar medicine | |
| 15:13 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | :) |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I've been busy with Tuesday night, the Burning man, and setting up for the Ball.so this week is open to do a few things. |
| 15:14 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | My time in Sl has become limited due to a increase in work load and hours at work. |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Coming soon, South end will have an amusement park when the snow goes, Until I need the land for something else. |
| 15:15 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | The winter ball build will go this week, So if you want pictures or anything, now is the time |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | As for the COU, a focus on the basics this next couple of week, and some advance planning for the near future. The 10th caught me by surprise |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Fundraiser will begin again soon,Probably after the Caledon anniversary in Feb |
| 15:16 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | More on that later |
| 15:17 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | A few items will be redone that I made for the COU shop and placed back out for sale |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Looks back at Wordsmith |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Andrea. |
| 15:18 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | most welcome |
| 15:21 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Not a lot from me, this week. I started yesterday on a Science Circle panel on climate change (inworld), with a fair amount of prepping ahead of time. I was wearing my COU tag, so it acted as networking. The video of that is now up at https://www.sciencecircle.org/science-circle-film-collection/ |
| 15:22 | Ember (emberell) | Not SL climate change, I don't think |
| 15:22 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | hehe |
| 15:22 | WriterGal | It was very well done. I'd encourage all to check it out. |
| 15:22 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | Climate change in SL can be solved by a switch of a windlight |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I mostly spent the rest of the day simply enjoying the anniversary dances and the people celebrating with us there. |
| 15:23 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea, the pix link please. |

| 15:24 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) has not changed his group tag this year | |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Feel free to put your name in the comments or description line |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I can update them from there |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and enjoy |
| 15:24 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | They are free use btw |
| 15:25 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | With that, open for comments, questions, and announcements. |
| 15:25 | Sanylle | I'd like to pass this along |
| 15:25 | Sanylle | [Mentions hearsay predator report which will be checked by Phrynne - WSJ] |
| 15:26 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | AR stuff |
| 15:26 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | That's AR stuff. |
| 15:26 | Phrynne | yes, it is. |
| 15:26 | Sanylle | AR? |
| 15:26 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Abuse Report |
| 15:26 | Phrynne | Abuse Report -- it's under Help in the drop-down menu at the top of your viewer |
| 15:26 | Phrynne | Anyone can file such a report. |
| 15:26 | Sanylle | I believe she said it's already been reported, with no action from LL |
| 15:27 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | Enough of those, and the Lindens on high will do something about it. |
| 15:27 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yup |
| 15:27 | Sanylle | So it's a heads up advisory for movers and shakers in regions |
| 15:27 | Phrynne | LL takes action on many things when they get multiple reports -- to keep people from having vendettas. |
| 15:27 | Phrynne | Who is the person who put out this warning? |
| 15:27 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yes, sometimes there are fake warnings as well. |
| 15:29 | WriterGal | elf, has the appropriate name |
| 15:29 | Phrynne | not at all -- but this is not someone I know, so I want to check. |
| 15:29 | Phrynne | We have had messages sent out under false names before. |
| 15:30 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Yeah. And real "ageplay" idiots have been banned in 30 minutes at times. |
| 15:30 | Sanylle | samar has been around for a while, and does a lot of role playing |
| 15:31 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | But anyway, it is AR matter. |
| 15:31 | Sanylle | Should I have not brought it up, Elfbiter? |
| 15:32 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | It is worthly of taking notice, whatever it is |
| 15:32 | Phrynne | it's fine -- but I have to verify. |
| 15:32 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Other questions, comments, announcements? |
| 15:33 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Stil hosting the Writer's Meeting. |
| 15:33 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Thursday 11 AM . |
| 15:33 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) raises | |
| 15:33 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Lina? |
| 15:33 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | I would like to comment that Brenda's necklace is a piece of beauty. (sorry :) ) |
| 15:33 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 15:34 | WriterGal | *looks around for Brenda's necklace* (easily distracted) |
| 15:34 | Brenda (brendaharden) blushes | |
| 15:34 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | A quite nicely adorned Brenda. |
| 15:34 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) smiles at her dear friend | |
| 15:35 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) and apologizes for the disruption :) | |
| 15:35 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Just a mention |
| 15:35 | Brenda (brendaharden) pokes Lina with an elbow | |
| 15:35 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | And nothing to be sorry about, Lina. Objects of beauty are a legitimate topic. |
| 15:35 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) nods with serious | |
| 15:36 | Brenda (brendaharden) scowls at Lina | |
| 15:36 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I have a build at the Burning man region. It is the one nearest the art car sign. It has a viking longboat in it.There is a freebie there and at the gifts area. If you have time drop by and see it. |
| 15:36 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | looks back at word |
| 15:37 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | Do you have a link, Andrea, please? |
| 15:37 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | a landmark |
| 15:37 | Ember (emberell) | I would appreciate a link as well! |
| 15:37 | Kara2016 | Smiles brightly. |
| 15:37 | Sanylle | Burning Man- Deep Hole (230,55,25) |
| 15:37 | Sanylle | Is this it? |
| 15:38 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I'll have to pass it to you, a general tp route. I can't copy it for some reason |
| 15:38 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | yes that will get you there |
| 15:38 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | Thank you |
| 15:38 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Many great builds and gifts there |
| 15:39 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | will be up all week |
| 15:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Other items? |
| 15:39 | badgerofzen | artists performing too |
| 15:39 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) looks at Brenda to see if she can comment on other things | |
| 15:40 | Pacoima Core | I have a question from the north pole! :) |
| 15:40 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) smiles | |
| 15:40 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Okay |
| 15:41 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Pacoima? |
| 15:41 | Pacoima Core | YES! We found out from builders that you can lower the Land Impact of child prims by making them phantom. It seems to work for me. Does it happen down here also? |
| 15:42 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Well, you can't exactly do that. |
| 15:42 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | if you make them phantom you will pass through them. |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | An object is either phantom or not. There used to be a hack for making a child prim phantom by itself and that no longer works. |
| 15:43 | Pacoima Core | When did that hack stop working? |
| 15:43 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | What one can do is make child prims physics type = none, on the features tab. |
| 15:43 | Pacoima Core | on features tab? |
| 15:44 | Pacoima Core | maybe I forgot that point :( |
| 15:44 | Mowgli Soy | *raises hand* |
| 15:45 | Pacoima Core | yes yes. We love adornments up north, but hate the complexity. thanks :) |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Yes. And for those who upload mesh, you have to go to the features tab and select physics type prim, to get your physics shape. The default on upload is convex hull. |
| 15:45 | Mowgli Soy | I haven't tried it in a while, but I *think* you can make a child prim phantom without it affecting the rest of the build. |
| 15:45 | Mowgli Soy | Howveer, make the root phantom, and the whole build will follow. |
| 15:45 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | That was a hack Mowgli, and it no longer works. [https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/PATHBUG-69] |
| 15:46 | Mowgli Soy | I stand corrected. ;_0 |
| 15:46 | Ember (emberell) | As long as a mesh object is modifiable, you can also change the physics type after you buy it, too |
| 15:46 | Ember (emberell) | if it wasn't properly set |
| 15:46 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | It wasn't compatible with pathfinding. |
| 15:46 | Caladon Rae'thiel (saeldurrae) | Roommate is having a medical emergency. I'll see you all later. |
| 15:47 | Agatha Macbeth | 0.0 |
| 15:47 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | kk Cal. Thanks for coming. |
| 15:47 | Gronk Seriman | Ooo! |
| 15:48 | Brenda (brendaharden) raises her hand | |
| 15:48 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | oh |
| 15:48 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Brenda? |
| 15:49 | Brenda (brendaharden) | Has everyone been sure to go to the Caledon Museum and buy several of Lina's photos? They will be leaving soon |
| 15:49 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) blushes | |
| 15:49 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | oh brenda. send me the land mark |
| 15:49 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | I you know I love art. |
| 15:49 | Pacoima Core | same here |
| 15:49 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) hovers down under the bench | |
| 15:50 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | oh darling, please, don't be shy. |
| 15:50 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | girls, helps girls. |
| 15:50 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) smiles | |
| 15:50 | Pacoima Core | winks! |
| 15:50 | Eva Gaelle (jucastt) | smiles. |

| 15:53 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Other matters? |
| 15:53 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | Star's doing a great job there |
| 15:53 | Brenda (brendaharden) nods | |
| 15:53 | Lina Lyndon (ladylyndon) | (on the museum, not on me :) ) |
| 15:54 | Brenda (brendaharden) bursts out laughing | |
| 15:54 | Pacoima Core | you need to stay a good boy this year : |
| 15:54 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-P :-) |
| 15:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hearing nothing more, |

| 15:56 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you all for coming. |
| 15:56 | WriterGal | Forget that. |

| 15:56 | Ember (emberell) | We'll keep Oxbridge on the nice list! |
| 15:56 | Sandie Harbour | Anyone see Soup or Lovejoy? |
