| 14:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hi Larky, Welcome |
| 14:31 | Larky (larkylouz) | ty |
| 14:39 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Hey Larky, you don't by chance recall anything unusual occurring on Thursday the 17th? (something killed my avatar monitor script, which I didn't catch unil the 25th) |
| 14:41 | Larky (larkylouz) | Not off hand. Let me check my chat logs |
| 14:46 | Larky (larkylouz) | looks like my back-up is more of a mess than I expected. Truthfully, I haven't been around much, except in the evenings. Ravelli or Elf are around the most. |
| 14:47 | Larky (larkylouz) | Hi Andrea. |
| 14:47 | Larky (larkylouz) gets the giggles, looking at Andrea | |
| 14:48 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | what? |
| 14:48 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | what's wrong with your back |
| 14:49 | Larky (larkylouz) | my back? It;s not made of a waffle. Other than that, I have no idea what you're talking about |
| 14:49 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Her back-up |
| 14:49 | Larky (larkylouz) | Oh? Just need to get organized and have been putting it off |
| 14:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Kyoko |
| 14:51 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Lovejoy |
| 14:51 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | Waves ro Wordsmith |
| 14:52 | lovejoy2199 | Greetings everyone |
| 14:52 | lovejoy2199 | Hello Chancellor |
| 14:52 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | I am here to harass you |
| 14:52 | Larky (larkylouz) | Hey LJ |
| 14:52 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Something peaceful sounding on the stream |
| 14:52 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | but not obviously to spell things right |
| 14:52 | lovejoy2199 | Hello BA |
| 14:53 | Larky (larkylouz) opens her popcorn and sits back to enjoy the show | |
| 14:53 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) hopes Larky will share | |
| 14:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Frigid |
| 14:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome Edmund |
| 14:54 | Frigid Cryotank | Chancellor, good afternoon. |
| 14:54 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Satanico |
| 14:54 | Edmund Broek | Andrea looks suitably weird. |
| 14:54 | Larky (larkylouz) pelts Kyoko with popcorn | |
| 14:55 | lovejoy2199 | CARMEN |
| 14:55 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) catches it in my mouth | |
| 14:55 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Howdy, Ember |
| 14:55 | Ember (emberell) | Hello, Word |
| 14:56 | Ember (emberell) | I was answering a brief question on campus, but I'm here on time :-) |
| 14:56 | lovejoy2199 | Hello Dean Ember. Nice small Av. |
| 14:57 | lovejoy2199 | btw: Where do you get all of these? Do you make them yourself? |
| 14:57 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome, Elfbiter |
| 14:57 | Ember (emberell) | Oh, me? I usually get my avatars through the MP and put some time into customizing them |
| 14:57 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | and Da Elf is in the house |
| 14:58 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | :-) |
| 14:58 | Ember (emberell) | And welcome, Elfbiter! |
| 14:58 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Well, Elvis already left the building so there is space for me... |
| 14:59 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | I should wear my picasso avatar |
| 15:00 | Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) | Cubistic one? |
| 15:00 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | sort of |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Welcome to this week's Caledon Oxbridge Deans' Q&A. This is an open meeting; |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | all are welcome apart from those who intend to misbehave in a disruptive manner. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Non-disruptive misbehavior is at your discretion. |
| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Transcripts will be posted after the meeting. |

| 15:01 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | The clock having struck 3, the rest escaping without injury |
| 15:01 | lovejoy2199 | The Bells...Bells...Bells |
| 15:02 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | What might you have for us from The Commons, Ember? |
| 15:02 | Ember (emberell) | I've been working on setting a few thigns in order for my coming vacation - for those who aren't aware, I'll be out of town from the 11th of September, to the 30th. Taking a much needed vacation and space from the net, which I haven't done in years :_) |
| 15:02 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | Ember |
| 15:03 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | what big teeth you have |
| 15:03 | Ember (emberell) | So I've been working to clear up a few of the notecards for tutors and making some headway on decor so I can set things up for a bit more fall atmosphere, for when I come back. |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | As usual, Oxbridge is looking for new Tutor staff, helpers, or others interested in getting involved to help out around campus. If your'e interested please feel free to reach out to me, or any of the other staff here on campus and we'll figure out how to get you involved |
| 15:04 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Any particular notecard changes? |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | Mostly updating some of the landmark cards - removing dead ones, adding suggestions |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | I'll date the ones I do update so they're clearer about what's current |
| 15:04 | Ember (emberell) | That's all from me this week |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Ember. It's always a challenge to keep landmarks current. |
| 15:05 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Andrea? |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I's Weird Al day at the COU dance today Sunday the 27th DJ Sasha will be steaming us music in the theme of weird. We get started at 4 after the Q&A at the ...hmm hopefully weird build. See you there. SURL Caledon Oxbridge Village (158,183,2896) |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | I hope to have some shoulder pets out in the COU shop later this week |
| 15:06 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | they will beplaced by Mint |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | and one item sold per vender |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | until gone |
| 15:07 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | our own Zenmondo donated the script |
| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | just a little extra tier money |

| 15:08 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | back to you Word |
| 15:08 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thank you, Andrea |
| 15:09 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Thanks to Andrea's focus on creating a surplus over the last months, Oxbridge is in good financial shape. |
| 15:10 | Katie (katie.canningham) | ♩♪♫♬ APPAWS! ♩♪♫♬ |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | thanks to all of you that donate |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | we couldn't do it without you |
| 15:10 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | every linden counts |
| 15:11 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | I dumped a bit in earlier today |
| 15:11 | Andrea Jones (andreajonesms) | Many thanks |
| 15:11 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | However, That said, we've been operating at a deficit since May. During the last two weeks, our surplus was decreasing by 5370 $L per week, with our tier being 5750 per week. |

| 15:12 | Katie (katie.canningham) | Most welcome Andrea! |
| 15:14 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | I updated the Education Reserve map behind me earlier today. A couple of name changes for sims associated with Inspiration Island. One sim changed to an Adult rating, which isn't appropriate for the reserve, so I've notified Madori Linden and Ellie Pinion. (that's the pink sim on the map) |
| 15:14 | Ember (emberell) | Thank you for your odnation, Katie! |
| 15:14 | Katie (katie.canningham) | most welcome Ember! |
| 15:16 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Genome Island will be moving closer to the core sims. Builders' Brewery will be moving into the reserve, once Madori gets past some problem that came up in the move |
| 15:18 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | On the 17th, something killed my avatar monitor script, which I didn't catch until the 25th. So didn't get the avatar visit time-line plot or the statistics on the website updated for today. |

| 15:30 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | Caledon keeps getting more dangerous by the day |
| 15:30 | Larky (larkylouz) | You wouldn't believe what goes on underwater.... |
| 15:30 | Ember (emberell) | Much of Caledon is actually M-rated :-) |
| 15:30 | Kyoko Järvinen-Barzane (samara.barzane) | grins |
| 15:30 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Lovejoy, Oxbridge is G-Rate; Oxbridge Village (where we are) is M-Rated |
| 15:31 | Katie (katie.canningham) | but overall highly rated |
| 15:31 | lovejoy2199 | I stand corrected. |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Oxbridge may be the only remaining G-rated region in Caledon |
| 15:31 | Wordsmith Jarvinen | Well, actually, you are sitting. |
| 15:31 | lovejoy2199 | Actually, sitting down. |
| 15:32 | Katie (katie.canningham) hands Lovejoy a nice cup of tea | |
