2010.02.06 01:00 - From germany to westcoast usa and australia, what a global meeting :)

The Guardian for this meeting was Yakuzza Lethecus. The comments are by Yakuzza Lethecus.

Calvino Rabeni: The time has come, the Walrus said, to speak of many things.
Calvino Rabeni: Of shoes, and ships, and sealing wax,
Calvino Rabeni: Of cabbages and kings
Calvino Rabeni: And why the sea is boiling hot
Calvino Rabeni: And whether Pigs have wings
Calvino Rabeni: But wait a bit, the Oysters said, before we have our chat
Calvino Rabeni: For some of us are out of breath, and all of us are fat!
Calvino Rabeni: No hurry, said the Carpenter. They thanked him much for that.
Calvino Rabeni: A loaf of bread, the Walrus said, is what we chiefly need.
Calvino Rabeni: And pepper and vinegar would go very well indeed.
Calvino Rabeni: Now if you're ready, Oysters dear, we can begin to feed!
Calvino Rabeni: But not on us! The Oysters said, turning a little blue
Calvino Rabeni: After such kindness, that would be a *dismal* thing to do!
Bertram Jacobus: hey yaku and cal ! :-)
Calvino Rabeni: Hey
Calvino Rabeni: The night is fine! the Walrus said. Do you admire the view?
Calvino Rabeni: ...
Calvino Rabeni: How goes it, Bertram?
Bertram Jacobus: ty it's fine - and how about you ? :-)
Calvino Rabeni: Quite well.
Bertram Jacobus: quite ... (?) ;-)
--BELL--
Bertram Jacobus: no talks here this morning (?) ... ;-)
Calvino Rabeni: Not yet :)
Calvino Rabeni: Would you like one?
Bertram Jacobus: you said QUITE well cal - why ?
Bertram Jacobus: (if i may ask)
Calvino Rabeni: As a synonym for "very" well.
Bertram Jacobus: and yes, i have to admit : when i come here, mostly i like to have some talks ... should i try to drop that ?
Bertram Jacobus: ah ! okay ... didn't know that. in german it means mostly quite ;-)
Calvino Rabeni: If it would benefit everyone, I suppose! But I don't see the benefit
Bertram Jacobus: it would benefit if i could drop the wish to talk sometimes ?
Calvino Rabeni: Getting topics started - now there's a good topic :)
Bertram Jacobus: it would benefit if i could drop the wish to talk sometimes ? - did you mean that ?
Calvino Rabeni: Because it might not matter what they are, since they change into something else
Bertram Jacobus: hello tarmel :-)
Calvino Rabeni: No, I was asking you that question
Tarmel Udimo: hi Guys:)
Tarmel Udimo: an all guy session?:)
Calvino Rabeni: Tarmel, you can be of assistance :)
Bertram Jacobus: looks like ;-)
Tarmel Udimo: maybe:)
Calvino Rabeni: We need an interesting topic
Tarmel Udimo: ahhhh you mean you haven't been doing guy talk?
Calvino Rabeni: Because otherwise I'd make up a "stock" one.
Bertram Jacobus: i don't need it, sry ;-)
Tarmel Udimo: if it were three chicks we'd be doing girl talk:)
Calvino Rabeni: And I think, we have a preference for the discussion
Tarmel Udimo: nods
Calvino Rabeni: Hmm, that would be in the logs, if it ever happened
Bertram Jacobus: sry cal - i didn't get your question ... again my poor english knowledges ... :-/
Tarmel Udimo: how are you Yakuzza?
Calvino Rabeni: It would be possible to "data mine" for "girl talk"
Bertram Jacobus: it's more easy to talk (write) as to understand ...
Tarmel Udimo: hehehehehe
Calvino Rabeni: No problem bertram
Calvino Rabeni: I am always impressed by the english skills of the germans and other europeans
Calvino Rabeni: It is so good, I usually forget about it
Tarmel Udimo: sorry I can't make your sessions Yak but te time zone problem always crops up when you live in the pacific
Bertram Jacobus: "in the pacific" - where is that ? :-)
Calvino Rabeni: Calvino Rabeni visualizes Tarmel floating in the middle of the Pacific
Calvino Rabeni: Hawaii?
Tarmel Udimo: heheheh yeah a nice warm bath in the ocean would be great except its raining here, pouring in fact
Calvino Rabeni: My time zone is called Pacific Standard Time
Tarmel Udimo: but since I love the rain - its no worries

Tarmel Udimo: and have you noticed differences?
Bertram Jacobus: yes. agree
Tarmel Udimo: have you changed?
Tarmel Udimo: has the community changed?
Bertram Jacobus: the main thing i notice is that i get increasingly used to sl, more familiar so to say ...
Tarmel Udimo: nods
Tarmel Udimo: you accept yourself in it?
Bertram Jacobus: and it's really a kind of part of my life, not in addicted way luckily - but so i learn to know groups and they dissolve again, new ones arise and also my interests may be here and there change ...
Tarmel Udimo: nods
Bertram Jacobus: how could one not accept please ? could you explain that to me please ? :-)
Tarmel Udimo: do you think 'bertram' is you?
Bertram Jacobus: "absolutely"
Tarmel Udimo: nods

Bertram Jacobus: ah ! i'm interested in observing bertram too, but bertram is also my real name (!) ... ;-)

Bertram Jacobus: :-))
Bertram Jacobus: for me, there is not such a big difference between bertram and bertram ...
Calvino Rabeni: A friend of mine joined SL today
Calvino Rabeni: She named her avatar same as herself
Bertram Jacobus: it's simply a section of my life as i tried to express / explain already before ...
Calvino Rabeni: And then I helped her make the avatar look more like her body
Bertram Jacobus: and i think, the virtual worlds will increase and be developed more and more and very fast ...
Tarmel Udimo: yes I agree
Tarmel Udimo: and that was nice to help your friend Calvino
Calvino Rabeni: I have often wondered, why "virtual reality" is made so much like the "real" one.
Calvino Rabeni: Yes,
Calvino Rabeni: Hello Magic
Tarmel Udimo: Hi Magic
Bertram Jacobus: as shown in the movie avatar - i appreciate all these possibilities we have and get here
