2009.03.11 07:00 - Not One PaB Idea

The Guardian for this meeting was Fefonz Quan. The comments are by Fefonz Quan.

As i arrived at the session, Eliza, Adams and Adelene were shortly arriving. But then i started having communication problems and vanished from the session for a while.

Fefonz Quan: Hi Ade:)
Adelene Dawner: Hiya Fef ^.^
Eliza Madrigal: Hello all :)
Adelene Dawner: hiya :)
Fefonz Quan: hey adams :)
Adams Rubble: hello Adelene, fefonz and Eliza :)
Fefonz Quan: Hey eliza :)
Eliza Madrigal: Everyone well I hope
Adelene Dawner: :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fefonz Quan: waking slowly :)
Adams Rubble missing something :)
Fefonz Quan nods to squee
Eliza Madrigal: Hmm
Eliza Madrigal: Missing something Adams?
Adams Rubble: hehe. I see... the ability to read
Adams Rubble: Yes I am well...and you?
Eliza Madrigal: hahha...oh
Adams Rubble: I read Fefonz's reply as "walking slowly"
Adams Rubble: whoops
Eliza Madrigal: I did also at first!
Adams Rubble: he is gone

The typing animation brings thoughts about chat communication and typing "body language"

Eliza Madrigal: Now I remember why I stopped the typing animation...often start thoughts and then wipe them away
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: It actually is nice to see...often shows someone is thinking :)
Eliza Madrigal: Yes, generally I like it...with me I think can be a distraction for others...half starts, etc
Adams Rubble: no distraction at all :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: It separates the thoughtful people from the impulsive people like me :)
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, but better just to let it flow sometimes///most times maybe!
Adams Rubble: I am half kidding...often I pause too and change things, especially if someone says something that makes mine irrelevant
Eliza Madrigal: exactly!
Adams Rubble: but sometimes, it is just difficult to find the right words
Adams Rubble: It may be the equivalent of saying "uh" in voice :)
Eliza Madrigal: yes, sure. When I'm reading logs, I have all these thoughts and want to talk about them...then sign on and well..not so much :)
Eliza Madrigal: Ah, yes
Adelene Dawner: Blogs are good for that :)
Adams Rubble: :)
Eliza Madrigal: This is true...maybe it is a natural outflow of PaB.
Adelene Dawner: :)
Adams Rubble: Guardians can add comments to existing logs
Eliza Madrigal: Hm...which reminds me that there is alog from the other day posted that has the name/momentary chat of someone who popped in and out....should edit that right?
Adams Rubble: We usually do but now we have recording signs all over the place and it is less important to do so
Adams Rubble: Hello Chiaiu
Eliza Madrigal: It was the day you Adams, Pema, and I were here. I have to learn these things and choose a date I guess.
Eliza Madrigal: Oh, good.
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Chiaiu
Adams Rubble: Do you mean take a sesssion Eliza?
Eliza Madrigal: Yes....it is that my schedule keeps changing...life in flux....so I've hesitated
Adams Rubble: One way to get started is to fill in for people when they email they can't make it
Eliza Madrigal: Okay, good idea :)
Eliza Madrigal: I was reading the logs on arising and ethics....fun
Adams Rubble: Hmm. not sure which one that was but I am reading past logs for the Chronicles
Adams Rubble: try to keep up with the new ones but it is hard sometimes
Eliza Madrigal: I'm sure! I'd love to dig into way earlier...have only skipped around
Adams Rubble: Lots of reading...almost 1500 logs now
Eliza Madrigal: Wow! Love the rhythms...how slowly things seem and then dive deep
Adams Rubble: If one reads almost all day it takes two days to read through a month
Adams Rubble: :)

I also sent an email asking for someone to grab the log if i am unable to get back in-world. The participants use the opportunity to learn how to claim the logger.

Adelene Dawner: Emnail from Fef: looks like one of us is going to have to grab the log for him.
Adams Rubble: Should we draw straws. hehe
Eliza Madrigal: Maybe I should learn now?
Adams Rubble: Claiming is easy. just touch the little triangular thingy in the fountain
Adams Rubble: and then choose claim
Eliza Madrigal: And posting? I should register at the site, etc...is easy?
Adams Rubble: The link we will be emailed to you then a little after the session is open
Adams Rubble: You have to log in at the site first
Adams Rubble: then go to the chat log page for March...called "03"
Adams Rubble: There you click the "new page" tab
Adams Rubble: and paste it in
Eliza Madrigal: Ah...let me register. I need to do that before I can claim a session?
Adams Rubble: Then you add a name for the title to the number part

Finally i get back

Eliza Madrigal: Fefonz! Wb
Adams Rubble: Wol has to add you if you are not there already
Adams Rubble: Hi Fefonz. wb
Eliza Madrigal: I'm only on email
Adams Rubble: That makes all this a moot point. hehe
Eliza Madrigal: :)))
Fefonz Quan: Hi all :)
Adams Rubble: Wol might have added you alrready though
Fefonz Quan: sorry for the vanishing
Adams Rubble: wb Chiaiu
Eliza Madrigal: Quite alright, and wb Chiaiu also
Adams Rubble: not your fault fefonz :)
Fefonz Quan: was fighting to restore connection for the last 20 min
Eliza Madrigal: =/
Chiaiu Chiung: hi everzone
Adams Rubble: Now if you were just leaving us in a huff that might be different. hehe
Eliza Madrigal: haha
Fefonz Quan: hey CHIAIU
Adams Rubble: or a minute and a huff
Adams Rubble practices her Groucho
Fefonz Quan: :)
Eliza Madrigal: I'll take two beers too
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: Hi Steve :)
Fefonz Quan: hi steve :)
Eliza Madrigal: Hello Steve
stevenaia Michinaga: hi, we all hear to rescue the log?
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Adams Rubble: Some of never left :)
Adams Rubble: us
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles
Eliza Madrigal: We thought we'd just discuss it a while more...haha
Adams Rubble: But always good to see you Steve :)
Eliza Madrigal: Kidding
Fefonz Quan: yes, gpt back thanks ::)
Adams Rubble: we were drawing straws :)
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Adams Rubble: but we couldn't find any
stevenaia Michinaga: good, I'll hang out for a bit as I get some emails together
Adams Rubble: so we didn;t know what to do :)
Fefonz Quan: so did i miss all the fun/
Fefonz Quan: ?
stevenaia Michinaga: I sispect Storm hides all the straws for that very reason
Adams Rubble: only if you find it fun looking for three straws in a fountain

The discussion on claiming the log goes on, and gets a boost when the Master Listener stubbornly anounce that "this session was not claimed yet"

Eliza Madrigal: Fefonz, I was actually just asking about the process of claiming/posting the log and such. Adams was helping me
Fefonz Quan: ah, cool :)
Adelene Dawner giggles at Steve.
Adams Rubble admires Steve's footwear
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fefonz Quan: eas it like a needle in a pile of straw?
stevenaia Michinaga: nice pants Chiaiu
Fefonz Quan: was it*
stevenaia Michinaga: ...grins
Eliza Madrigal: brb-phone
Adams Rubble: boo
stevenaia Michinaga: having some possession issues Fefonz
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Fefonz Quan: just making sure, got a claim that the session wwas not claimed :)
Adams Rubble: Good idea fefonz :)
Eliza Madrigal: K...registered at the PaB site now
Adams Rubble wondering if this session should be called "Not one PaB Idea"
Fefonz Quan: (fefonz redraws his comment about possessions in order for it to stay like this ) :)
Fefonz Quan: and adams, at worst it would be called "Not one PaB Idea again" :)
Adams Rubble giggles
Adams Rubble: I want to note that I am using a ciomputer with a real video card and you all look fabulous :)
Adelene Dawner giggles ^.^
Fefonz Quan using a clomputer too, guess how you look here ;-)
Eliza Madrigal: Well thanks, daaaling
stevenaia Michinaga: smiles
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: boo
Eliza Madrigal: Hmm
Adams Rubble: Listener Master is very finnicky today
Fefonz Quan: i hope there will e some record of ths session
Fefonz Quan: (though we try hard that not many insights will be lost then ) :)
Adams Rubble checking chat reconrding on the clomputer
Adams Rubble gives a thumbs up
Fefonz Quan wonders if cloneputers are the way for mchine breeding
Adams Rubble thinks. Hmm. That's why there are so many around
Fefonz Quan: interesting about your video card remark adams, reminds me that when TV went to HD channels
Fefonz Quan: there was a claim that all the celebrities looked worse
Adams Rubble: hehe
Fefonz Quan: and it was much harder to hide skin flaws in high resolution
Adams Rubble 's TV has not gone digital yet :)
Adams Rubble: the new video card takes some getting used to. It is set to too high a contrast and I don;t know how to change it
Eliza Madrigal: SL eliminated TV for me...now back to 3-4 channels because can't justify paying for something not watching
Fefonz Quan: good for you Eliza.
Fefonz Quan has no tv for 2 years
Eliza Madrigal: I suppose...miss Book tv though
Adams Rubble: But, I repeat that you all look fabulous :)
Eliza Madrigal: We're all flashy for you now Adams?
Adams Rubble: yep
Eliza Madrigal: (have to get some bling)
Fefonz Quan: Adams, i guess i would help if i was near your computer.
Adams Rubble: I can see the hairs on Adelene's chin
Eliza Madrigal: Hah

Adams Rubble: It seems obligated to keep sharing that with us
Wol Euler: hmmmmmmmm

Wol Euler: I certainly had no better idea!
Fefonz Quan: pyramids last forever, don't you know?
Adelene Dawner: *chuckle*
Wol Euler: mmhmm
