Pema Pera: dus ik kwam maar even een oogje in het zeil houden
Darren Islar: en je mag nog even blijven, want ik doe geen GoC-duties meer
Pema Pera: ja hoor, geen probleem
Pema Pera: hoe gaat het ermee?
Darren Islar: ja, langzaam, heel langzaam gaat het wat beter
Darren Islar: ik krijg wat meer ruimte, en hoe weinig dat ook is, het heeft een goed effect op mijn humeur :)

Pema Pera: so we get congratulated a lot each year
Darren Islar: yes and that si getting worse

Darren Islar: that point looks quite dangerous :)
Qt Core: You are quite young Huracan
Qt Core: ;-)
Huracan Khaos: So what now when Pema is gone?
Darren Islar: we just continue
Archmage Atlantis: Young in SL time
Huracan Khaos: You think QT Core?
Huracan Khaos: ok :D
Qt Core: as a sl avatar
Huracan Khaos: yes
Huracan Khaos: but also in RL
Huracan Khaos: but not two days child
Darren Islar: :)
Darren Islar: a child in sl :)
Archmage Atlantis: Takes a bit to get used to the way things are referenced in SL
Qt Core: a two days old kid with rock attire would be interesting ;-)
Darren Islar: :)
Huracan Khaos: :-)
Huracan Khaos: I cant speak engklish wery well.. so sometimes I get lost here
Darren Islar: brb
Archmage Atlantis: What's with the aquatic bug look this day, QT?
Huracan Khaos: whats brb :)
Archmage Atlantis: be right back
Qt Core: don't worry, the official language is not english but typonese (for typing errors)
Wol Euler: good morning everyone
Huracan Khaos: Hi!
Qt Core: and not everyone here is a native english speaker, so we understand that
Wol Euler: wow, qt, what an unusual av.
Bertram Jacobus: hi and good morning from cologne ! :-)
Qt Core: Hi Wol
Wol Euler: hello bert!
Qt Core: and hi bert
Huracan Khaos: Hi bert
Archmage Atlantis: Someone knocks on the door, and you're letting others know you're afk for a bit.......afk is away from the keyboard
Archmage Atlantis: Hi, Wol....Hi Bert :)
Bertram Jacobus: ah wol - you advanced to a fracture host/ess ? already since a long time ? :-)
Qt Core: and Arch, i was taking a pic for the art project
Wol Euler: just yesterday!
Wol Euler: got a tipjar and everything :)
Bertram Jacobus: whaow - cool ! congratulations ! ;-)
Wol Euler: ty :)
Bertram Jacobus: hehe - tipjar ! even that ! ... :-)
Archmage Atlantis: *g*.......guess I'll have to make an effort to see the exhibit then, QY *g*
Wol Euler: yeah. I donate the money to Fracture's tier costs
Bertram Jacobus: so now you have to entertain the people there with shouting yeahaa and yipiieh and such ? ;o)
Wol Euler: erm, no.
Wol Euler: on the contrary
Wol Euler: I ban people from Fracture for doing that.
Bertram Jacobus: lol. aww - how sayd ! ;o)
Bertram Jacobus: sad*
Wol Euler: I greet newcomers and tell them how to dance, and remind people to tip the DJs
Qt Core: (Huracan: there are slow session where we don't go very deep into reality misteries and meditations :) )
Wol Euler laughs.
Archmage Atlantis: Oh, kewl.....a host/ess gig.......
Huracan Khaos: sure ok
Bertram Jacobus: oh. sry huracan - i appreciate going deep into those topics qt mentions also very much - are you interested in something special about such ?
Wol Euler: I wanted the title to say "hostpersonthing" but they wouldn't change it
Qt Core: and others where we go deep inside ourselves, discover the inner child and let it out... like fridays 1pm sessions ;-)
Archmage Atlantis: :)
Wol Euler: yes, we are usually more serious than this.
Wol Euler: except fridays
Archmage Atlantis: how about Host Entity?
--BELL--
Bertram Jacobus: i wouldn´t sign your statement wol :o)
Bertram Jacobus: oops
Huracan Khaos: let inner child go out?
Bertram Jacobus: [sry : silence 90 secs] ...
Qt Core: (just being silly, Hurracan, sorry it was an inside joke, can't resist)
Huracan Khaos: ;-)
Bertram Jacobus: aren´t inside jokes terrible for outsiders ? and in this special case, i´m also such an outsider. happy to accompany others potentially ...
Archmage Atlantis: Well, sort of a joke, QT......the reference to the "inner child" comes from Psychology
Qt Core: (i can't resist a good joke, inside or not... and the decision about it being good is obviously quite subjective)
Archmage Atlantis: Sometimes the sessions here are more philosophical, sometimes more light hearted.....sometimes a mix
Bertram Jacobus: yes. and all that may be important ...
Darren Islar: hi everoyone new :)
Bertram Jacobus: hi darren
Archmage Atlantis: And sometimes we spend most of the time saying hi and bye to each other *g*
Huracan Khaos: Hi Darren :D
Wol Euler grins.
Bertram Jacobus: but it´s more polite then to do not - i mean : no greetings
Huracan Khaos: It is ok
Darren Islar: QT, please don't look at me and point that thing at me ;)
Huracan Khaos: so you meet regurarly
Wol Euler: :)
Wol Euler: oh yes, four times a day
Bertram Jacobus: and nearly all people i talk about that say they would appreciate it ...
Archmage Atlantis: It is nice to be acknowledged with a greeting, true Bert
Wol Euler: 1am 7am 1pm 7pm
Wol Euler: not always the same people, obviously :)
Huracan Khaos: you know each other .. is here some hard core?
Qt Core: it seem to have its own idea of what to do and who to poke, darren, sorry
Wol Euler: only in private.
Wol Euler grins.
Darren Islar: :) QT
Huracan Khaos: who to poke :D
Bertram Jacobus: i think, it is normal, that some people are more here and others less -
Wol Euler: yes, most of us attend regularly.
Wol Euler: most of those who are here now, I meant
Huracan Khaos: why you do it?
Huracan Khaos: ah
Darren Islar: well, there is a group and you will see many faces at different times, but also vere familiar ones (after a while that is)
Archmage Atlantis: Right, not always the same people.....though there does tend to be a pattern as the day and night move around the world
Wol Euler: for myself, it's a social moment. A community of friends
Wol Euler: the discussions are also interesting
Huracan Khaos: good
Bertram Jacobus: same here. and the common interset in being
Bertram Jacobus: interest
Wol Euler: and I do meditate and the sessions that focus on that are useful
Huracan Khaos: sounds good
Wol Euler: but basically SL is a large part of my social life, and this is part of that
Qt Core: i don't meditate and yet those sessions are useful too ;-)
Wol Euler smiles at QT
Darren Islar: and some times and days are lazy, some geeky, others serious
Bertram Jacobus: i think, tpoics like meditation, being, researching reality, meditating, philosophy, religion ... all linked ... and topics of interest of all here. again : more or less
Bertram Jacobus: bah - so many typos again - sry plz
Bertram Jacobus: sometimes also quiet ...
Huracan Khaos: session is each day?
Darren Islar: four times a day
Huracan Khaos: :D
Archmage Atlantis: I think the main reason come is that there are always interesting people here, who share life experiences through this meetings purpose as a lens.........the PaB wiki expllains a lot
Darren Islar: every six hours
Wol Euler: 1am 7am 1pm 7pm
Huracan Khaos: Oh
Bertram Jacobus: slt (second life time, on the top, right on our screens)
Huracan Khaos: oh i see thx
Archmage Atlantis: SL time = California US time
Huracan Khaos: Is here someone from california?
Wol Euler: not right now, but we do have californian members
Archmage Atlantis: Prbly not Huracan, It is almost 2 AM there
Huracan Khaos: here in my country is 11am
Qt Core: same here
--BELL--
Darren Islar: but Californian time is used because your avatar is dwelling there somewhere on one of the servers (or rahter a few I suppose)
Wol Euler: sure, it's easier to give one time than to state it in all 24 timezone
Archmage Atlantis: Yea, it is 5 AM here, US East Coast.......I have a tendency to wake up early
Huracan Khaos: good morning :)
Bertram Jacobus: hehe - i think it is because it´s the home of linden labatories ? ...
Wol Euler: after you've been in SL for a while, you will find yourself converting to US time automatically
Bertram Jacobus: sry afk - brb
Darren Islar: yes Bert
Qt Core: if you leave out the 2/3 week mess around daylight saving time changes that is ;-)
Wol Euler: ha! yse
Darren Islar: there are really strange things visible today :)
Qt Core: approaching in a few weeks
Wol Euler: the americans are not clever enough to change time when everyone else in the world does.
Wol Euler shrugs
Qt Core: !
Wol Euler really wants a rideable version of Bert's airplane thingy
Qt Core: ok, time to go doing some cooking
Huracan Khaos: So what topic is today.. birthdays or what ? :D
Wol Euler: bye qt, bon appetit
Darren Islar: no, I guess explaining PaB to a newcoer :)
Huracan Khaos: Bye QT
Qt Core: bye all, have fun!
Darren Islar: sometimes we don't really have a topic
Darren Islar: bye QT
Huracan Khaos: bye bye
Huracan Khaos: ok :)
Archmage Atlantis: It has nothing to do with being clever, Wol, it has to do with being unaware that we are part of the rest of the world now........and the British element in creating the governmentss :)
Wol Euler nods. I was being cynical, sorry.
Archmage Atlantis: Bye, AT
Archmage Atlantis: *QT
Huracan Khaos: I only wanted to dhare i like receiving presents ;-)
Huracan Khaos: *share

Wol Euler: oh wait, you're using viewer 2 :(
Wol Euler: I'm not sure how that looks, off the top of my head.
Huracan Khaos: :-)
Wol Euler: there is probably a tab in the windows marked "all", click on it
Archmage Atlantis: I'm using v2 Wol, what control are you looking for?
--BELL--
Wol Euler: in the search, you can set the maturity categories to be displayed
Wol Euler: pg, mature, adult
