15:03 Wordsmith Jarvinen okay, starting time
15:03 Agatha Macbeth watches Eva's route march
15:04 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome all to this week's Oxbridge Deans' Q&A, your chance to hear what staff has been doing and then to ask questions, comment, make announcements, and so forth.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen This is an open meeting, all are welcome except for those with an intent to misbehave in a disruptive manner. Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. Transcripts will be posted following the meeting.
15:06 Wordsmith Jarvinen Phrynne, can you start?
15:06 Phrynne Yes, though I don't have very much this week.
15:06 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) hello, I'm laggy. Sorry if I bumped someone. everytime I tried to give a step my avatar just walk away randomly
15:06 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) hello, Rainy!
15:07 Phrynne I've been fine-tuning the decor for the spring season -- you may notice a few changes each week as I continue to do so.
15:07 RainyDayRecess Hi Eva, it's alright ;)
15:07 Agatha Macbeth nods
15:08 Phrynne I am experimenting with how I arrange things, to reduce lag -- so please let me know if you experience a lot of lag anywhere at Oxbridge. That way I may be able to figure out what's causing it. For instance, there is one type of decorative grass with flowers that caused problems last year; I will not use it near the plaza again.
15:08 Agatha Macbeth Grass causes lag? Wow
15:08 Phrynne Otherwise, I have been rechecking some LMs -- it's an ongoing process, making sure all the LMs on the notecards in the Faculty Kit are accurate and up to date.
15:09 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Ms. Macbeth, it is because one has to stop to sneeze violently, on every other step!
15:09 Phrynne Yes, the grass caused lag -- it was very thick and very detailed, with tiny flowers in it and seeds on the stems.
15:09 Agatha Macbeth Oh my
15:09 Phrynne so if I use that again, I'll put it near the labyrinth or on the outside of the buildings.
15:09 RainyDayRecess Depends on how they were made
15:09 Phrynne And that's all for now.
15:09 Phrynne It was mesh, one prim.
15:10 Phrynne just exquisitely detailed, with changeable colors.
15:10 Badass Fae (larkylouz) sneezes.
15:10 RainyDayRecess :D
15:10 Phrynne hands out tissues
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) pases larky a hankie
15:10 Agatha Macbeth Bless you
15:10 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Thank you.
15:10 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Phrynne.
15:10 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) you can keep it larky
15:10 Badass Fae (larkylouz) sniffels
15:11 Badass Fae (larkylouz) sticks her tongue out at Andrea.
15:11 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) oh!
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen And even at one prim, it can have multiple materials and be playing continually with visibility of different parts.
15:11 Wordsmith Jarvinen Andrea?
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) sadly my human element has been down with kidney stones this week and weekend so didn't get much done with anything. Looking at a carnival soon as a fundraiser.
15:12 Wordsmith Jarvinen (and Welcome, Talina)
15:12 Agatha Macbeth Oww
15:12 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) thank you
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) rides, booths and such
15:12 Phrynne oww
15:12 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) sorry im late
15:12 RainyDayRecess So sorry Andrea ;(
15:12 Badass Fae (larkylouz) Ugh! Kidney stones are the worst! Feel better, Andrea.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) maybe some give aways of some type. more on that as it comes out.
15:12 Kara2016 Yes, i hope you feel better soon.
15:12 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) ty
15:13 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) yes feel better
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) If you have ideas, things to sell or giveaway, or want to participate, let me know.
15:13 Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) that's all for now
15:14 Wordsmith Jarvinen Thank you, Andrea, and do take time to take care of yourself.
15:14 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Yup
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Nothing really from me this week. A head cold's been knocking me out. I have checked out a few jazz clubs as potential recommendations.
15:16 Agatha Macbeth An interesting cure
15:16 Wordsmith Jarvinen Open for questions, comments, announcements.
15:17 Wordsmith Jarvinen Music helps, but not so much a cure but something doable without a lot of focus.
15:17 Agatha Macbeth nods
15:18 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Still hosting the Writers' Meeting in Thursdays' 11:00 AM
15:19 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else?
15:20 Gronk Seriman If you are new to SL, now is the time to ask questions. You'll rarely find so many helpful people in one place.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't be afraid, btw, to join us late or leave early as meets your need. We are happy to have you join us as you can.
15:21 Wordsmith Jarvinen Transcripts get posted at http://www.caledonoxbridge.org/qna/qna_index.php
15:22 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) well, I have an idea.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen So, you can get parts missed after the fact.
15:22 Wordsmith Jarvinen Eva?
15:22 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) to helping with fundraising event.
15:23 Wordsmith Jarvinen Yes?
15:23 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) we could try to make a spectacle and ask to people for donations. I know the manager of royal opera and once time he told that he could give me a already done spectacle
15:24 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) I can ask to him to se if he still able to help
15:24 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) he are close friends.
15:24 Phrynne could you say a little more about what a spectacle is?
15:24 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) do you know royal opera here in second life?
15:24 Phrynne I've heard of it but I doubt that everyone here knows about it.
15:25 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) well, they make classic spectacles of opera, ballet, theater or dance.
15:26 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) or performances of singers like Maria callas
15:26 lovejoy2199 hummm...I am learning something new today. Word is into jazz. Ans Eva knows the Royal Opera! Two of my favorite things.
15:26 RainyDayRecess :D
15:26 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) smiles
15:26 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) two of my fav things too
15:27 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) I could see if he can share with us some of opera spectacles.
15:27 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) and we can perform that.
15:27 Brenda (brendaharden) By spectacles do you mean productions?
15:28 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) yes, Brenda.
15:28 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) thank you.
15:28 Wordsmith Jarvinen On the level of flash mobs?
15:28 Brenda (brendaharden) I'd love something like that
15:28 Agatha Macbeth 0.0
15:28 sweetsbrowneyes lol ty, as in spectacular - thats all
15:28 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) no. it's like a real opera.
15:29 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) around 1 hour of duration
15:29 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) like a real concert.
15:29 Agatha Macbeth Yes they're very good
15:30 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) when will be the fundraiser event?
15:31 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) do you mean like the shows they have at The Rose Theatre
15:31 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) yes.
15:31 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) Taliba
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen All of that reminds me that Phrynne and I caught a production of Abduction from the Seraglio done in Star Trek settings. This was at the Sultana theater in Mondrago, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhKhWTHw89Y
15:32 Agatha Macbeth Good heavens
15:32 Phrynne It was amazing -- and very funny.
15:33 Agatha Macbeth Illogical Captain
15:33 Phrynne Spock was singing about being Vulcan.
15:33 Agatha Macbeth splutters
15:33 Agatha Macbeth Egad
15:33 Phrynne The Gorn showed up twice but did not have a singing role.
15:34 Badass Fae (larkylouz) I have heard from fanfic experts that Spock's singing voice leaves a lot to be desired. . .
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Welcome, Sandie
15:34 Phrynne but there were a lot of singing Klingons.
15:34 Sandie Harbour smiles
15:34 Agatha Macbeth I'm sorry I missed that
15:34 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) did you seek out any choreographer that could help you out with this
15:34 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, the link takes you to it.
15:34 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) https://youtu.be/RQhnBPT2mns
15:35 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) there is a short video of a ballet production by royal opera
15:35 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) "This is Dyslexic of Borg. Your ass will be laminated"
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen I would have thought my Royal Ballet.
15:35 Agatha Macbeth falls off the bench in hysterics
15:35 Wordsmith Jarvinen Anything else?
15:35 Phrynne or "your lass will be animated"
15:35 Eva Gaelle (jucastt) https://youtu.be/AfkA0BvswMA

15:37 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) like Euro , and Standard
15:37 тαℓıηα ℜoѕє (talina718) for those that live in the states
