Storm Nordwind: Yes it was Hana
Archmage Atlantis: This connection is so slow that by the time I see and hear the bell, the 90 sec is over :)
arabella Ella: from the bit I have seen you have done a really excellent job Storm thank you so much!!
Storm Nordwind: Yes Agatha - I've just realized the touring balloon needs reprogramming! :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, of course...
Storm Nordwind: It goes to the Cafe and will deposit people into thin air :)
arabella Ella: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Ooops
Storm Nordwind: Well that depends on the rider ;-)
Hana Furlough: okay this is going to sound newbie-ish, but how do i get to the cafe?
Agatha Macbeth: I travelled that ballon very first time I came here :)
Storm Nordwind: You get up from where you are Hana, and turn left and walk for 50 metres or so
Archmage Atlantis: Have you ever tallied up the hours you've spent on creating and maintaining Kira & PaB Storm?
Hana Furlough: ok great
Agatha Macbeth: Everything is together now Hana, kinda university-campus-ish
Storm Nordwind does the hollow laugh thing for Arch
Agatha Macbeth: wb Wol :)
Wol Euler: ty
Hana Furlough: i'll have to wander over there sometime
arabella Ella: wb Wol
Archmage Atlantis: Understands :)
arabella Ella: I would love to see the thing you put in the sky Storm not sure what it is called, the molecules?
Storm Nordwind: The Molecule... it's the thing that used to be next to the Cafe, only it's set 150m higher than it was
arabella Ella: how can i find it though Storm?
Storm Nordwind: Just fly up from anywhere here and you'll see it
arabella Ella: oh ok ty
arabella Ella: so it is over the pavillion?
Storm Nordwind: If you click on "Map" you'll see its extent
Agatha Macbeth: It's a *very* prominent landmark :)
Storm Nordwind: It just misses the pavilion
arabella Ella: ah
Agatha Macbeth: If you pull back so you can Jeogeot in its entirety, you can locate Bieup right away because of the Molecule!
Storm Nordwind: Several people were quite attached to it and I've had no ill reports, so I packaged it up and moved it
Agatha Macbeth: I like it
Wol Euler nods.
Hana Furlough: maybe someone can take me on a tour sometime...
Hana Furlough: i'd love to see it
arabella Ella: excellent idea Storm thanks!
Archmage Atlantis: Is jogeot a word?
Storm Nordwind: I will reprogram the touring balloon next to the beacon and it can take you there
Storm Nordwind: Probably a Korean word Arch
Agatha Macbeth: Jeogeot is the island (continent?) we're on Arch
Wol Euler: wow
Wol Euler: fancy that
Archmage Atlantis: Ah
Darren Islar: hi everyone :)
Archmage Atlantis: Dbl Ah
Agatha Macbeth: In the south of the world map
Agatha Macbeth: Hi Daz
Wol Euler: hello darren
arabella Ella: Hiya Darren!
Hana Furlough: hi darren
Storm Nordwind: Hi Darren
Darren Islar: hi again :-)
Agatha Macbeth: Just me, but I love to know where I am relative to everything else
arabella Ella: mee tooo Ags!
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth grins
arabella Ella: although it was one of the difficult things to get used to at first here on SL
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Hana Furlough: yeah.... that's why i feel lost all the time
arabella Ella: it takes some getting used to
Storm Nordwind: There were no roads for a long time and few other stable structures (apart from coastlines)
Agatha Macbeth: When I find a place of interset now the first thing i do is locate it on the map relative to Bieup
arabella Ella nods
    --BELL--(1345)
Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Mick :)
arabella Ella whispers Hiya Mick!
Archmage Atlantis: Finally, a few polka dots are appearing
Darren Islar: hi Mick

Hana Furlough: how do i turn it off?
Agatha Macbeth: Mick's mic :))
Wol Euler: Edit menu/Preferences/Voice chat
Hana Furlough: wait was it me?
Darren Islar: no, its Mick's mic
Mickorod Renard: didnt think so
Agatha Macbeth: Nope, it's MR
Wol Euler: you can set your mic to broadcast only while you hold a key down, e.g. F6
Agatha Macbeth: I see green lines above his head
Darren Islar: but if you don't want to listen to it you can enable the voice
Hana Furlough: confusing...
Mickorod Renard: strange
Darren Islar: there is a toggle button on the screen
Agatha Macbeth: I have one but never use it
Mickorod Renard: can u still here me?
Darren Islar: no, you are in the clear :)
Mickorod Renard: great
Mickorod Renard: ty
Agatha Macbeth: Seems quiet now :)
Storm Nordwind: Your TV/Radio is no longer broadcasting :)
Archmage Atlantis: I've noticed that v2 and phoenix both ignore my changes in preferences at times, or maybe there is some hotkey I'm fat fingering
Agatha Macbeth: I have heard Bleu's dog in voice before now :p
Hana Furlough: lol!
Storm Nordwind: That's a regular occurrence Aggers
arabella Ella: LOL
Agatha Macbeth: Hee
Wol Euler: I was listening to a singer/guitarist at a club, when her cat got into the room and wanted attention :)
Mickorod Renard: yes, i did switch the broadcast off when u said

Mickorod Renard: although I didnt realise the broadcast was part of my talk

Agatha Macbeth: Least you don't need to worry about the gardens till next summer!

Mickorod Renard: I am getting suspicious that perhaps noone wants me to go on it :)
arabella Ella: LOL

Mickorod Renard: me, less impatient,,that wouldnt be Micko
arabella Ella giggles

Agatha Macbeth: St Francis will miss you
Wol Euler: I will definitely go to Nova Scotia again
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Wol Euler: :)
Mickorod Renard: I felt quite sad that i couldn't get outa work for the stutgard one
Wol Euler nods
Wol Euler: we talked about all the missing pabonauts :)
arabella Ella: yes i am sure more people would love to attend the retreats but the dates and cost are also factors plus other personal stuff of course
Wol Euler: well, there are moves afoot to deal with that, ara.
arabella Ella: oh good
Wol Euler: nothing definite yet, but we were talking about nine hour retreats
Wol Euler: in the tradition of nine second meditations :)
Wol Euler: from noon Saturday to noon Sunday
Mickorod Renard: ohh,,i was hoping u were going to say that we didnt have to work any more
Wol Euler: heh
Darren Islar: :)
Wol Euler: I can say it, sure, but that won't actually help much
Agatha Macbeth: Works for me [grin]
Mickorod Renard: :(
Mickorod Renard: retirement retreat sounds better
arabella Ella: nice idea
arabella Ella: (to both Mick and Wol)

Agatha Macbeth: SPQR
arabella Ella: la dolce vita Mick?
Mickorod Renard: is that a good pizza place?
Agatha Macbeth: Probably
Darren Islar: those 9 hours retreat are going to take place in rl?
Agatha Macbeth: What is it with the number 9?
Wol Euler: oh yes, sorry, more diffferent RL retreats
arabella Ella: thousands of good pizza places in rome mick
arabella Ella: spoilt for choice
Darren Islar: ok
Darren Islar: .
Darren Islar: in a way that makes it more expensive
Mickorod Renard: nine comes after 4,,that makes it wierd
Darren Islar: though it works better for the ones having a job
Agatha Macbeth: And after 7 too :)
Mickorod Renard: yea
Wol Euler: and families
Storm Nordwind: And pie
Wol Euler: and general laziness too
Agatha Macbeth grins @ Storm
Mickorod Renard: :)
Wol Euler coughs
