oowonderful skin tone, Orange. |
| 15:03 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Do you have anything for this week, Phrynne? |
| 15:03 |
Phrynne |
A couple of things... |
| 15:04 |
Phrynne |
First, please do get the newer copy of the notecard of Foreign Language Help Areas, which I put out in COU notices yesterday (if you're on staff.) I discovered the hard way that one of the help areas has reorganized its landscape -- I tp'd in and landed in a pit under water under a mountain with a building on it -- and the help area had been moved to the next region. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
So there is now a new LM for that -- Universidad de San Martin de Porres, and the ruin is a life-size version of Macchu Picchu, complete with condors. |
| 15:05 |
Phrynne |
Please dump the older card. |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
That is also an intro to my starting to check on everything in the Faculty Info Kit for this year's version. I go to every LM that we list and check on information that I am knowledgeable on -- but I don't know everything. If there is a notecard on a subject where you know more than I do, and you could add something to it or rewrite it, please contact me! |
| 15:06 |
Phrynne |
I would like us to have the best and most up to date information , and it helps a lot when I'm not the only one checking it. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
I am also working on various things for the Advent Calendar gifts -- and if you think you might have something you'd like to donate, please talk to me. There is room in the Calendar for more donations at this point. |
| 15:07 |
Phrynne |
and that's all I have for now. |
| 15:07 |
|
Phrynne looks back at Word |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Thank you, Phrynne. |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Andrea? |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Nothing this week. |
| 15:08 |
Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) |
Looks back to Wordsmith |
| 15:08 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Okay |
| 15:09 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Just a couple of things from me. |
| 15:10 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
Carl is going to update the three posters we have to the left of the lecture hall door, exploring Caledon, Steamlands, and SL. |
| 15:12 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I gave Phrynne a revised counting script for touches to our freebie items. The main change is to ensure that it has a revision to the time routine in it and some extra protection against memory overflows. |
| 15:14 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
The last item, after discussion with Phrynne, I've decided not to enter an Oxbridge exhibit for SL16B. The theme of pretty 16 doesn't match well with Oxbridge and I'd rather put my time into the tutorial translations. |
| 15:15 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
On the LL arena, premium rates go up on June 24, but one can renew at the old yearly rate between 3 June and 24 June. |
| 15:16 |
Gronk Seriman |
Boooooo! |
| 15:16 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
LL was at first going to reduce basic member groups from 42 to 35, but they backed off on that. |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
Last I looked, the blog entry on the increase had 47 pages of comments. |
| 15:17 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
With that, Open for general questions, comments, |
| 15:17 |
lovejoy2199 |
What is the theme, at SL16B, this year? |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
Sweet Sixteen |
| 15:17 |
Phrynne |
and 1950s, apparently |

oooo, yeah, way too futuristic for us! <grin> |
| 15:19 |
|
Phrynne has trouble envisioning a Victorian sock hop |
| 15:20 |
Kara2016 |
glue some gears on the socks and call it Steampunk. |
| 15:21 |
Wordsmith Jarvinen |
I do hope to connect with some smaller events during the year, at which we might have more effective visibility. |
| 15:21 |
Gronk Seriman |
Just stick a tesla coil on the juke box. |
