    Wol Euler: please do.
    Wol Euler cheers
    Wol Euler: hello bert
    Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Bert!
    Freud Jungsten: Wol.. considering our last chat... considering what we talked about, I think there was an attempt to answer my question, it was just so odd to me I did not register the responses as answers.
    Bertram Jacobus: hey bodies ! ;-)
    Wol Euler grins
    Wol Euler: glad to hear that, freud :)
    Wol Euler: odd is acceptable, none at all would have been bad.
    Bruce Mowbray listens intently to Freud.
    Freud Jungsten: I am not sure they were answer though.. just an idea... lol
    Freud Jungsten: I tired skimming the wiki thing agin but did not get anywhere.
    Wol Euler: well, we could talk about what "answer" means :)
    Bruce Mowbray: Can you refresh us on the Q/A?
    Wol Euler: perhaps an answer is "something that helps you along your path"
    Wol Euler: however the giver intended it
    Freud Jungsten: I need to go back and look...
    Wol Euler: like all the folk stories where the quester is given the answer to his challenge by somebody who doesn't know that it is an answer
    Freud Jungsten: To not leave people wondering.
    Freud Jungsten: We were toalking about the whole time/the past discussions.
    Wol Euler: bruce, when we me this morning, Freud and I were talking about talking about time
    Wol Euler: (not a typo :)
    Wol Euler: she said that she had asked questions here that didn't get answered.
    Freud Jungsten: I found nothing in those discussions, and ansks some questions that I thought went unanswered.
    Wol Euler: and that shall we say worried me.
    Freud Jungsten: But I think what migth have happened is that the answers were so off from what I was expexting that I did not realise they were answers.
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: tha happens around philosophers :)
    Bruce Mowbray: @ Freud and Wol --- Would you mind repeating the Q/A for us here?
    Wol Euler: bruce, it was as generic as I restated it now :)
    Bruce Mowbray: OK -- so, very general Q's about time itself?
    Freud Jungsten: I was wondering why all the discussions about the past that seemed to go nowhere or have any use... from my perspetive.
    Wol Euler: oh, I see. From this morning ... I'd have to check the chatlogs and they are on hte other computer
    Freud Jungsten: So Wol summed up some thoughts.
    Wol Euler: I'll just quickly post that log, shall I?
    Bertram Jacobus: why not (?) ... :-)
    Freud Jungsten: That would be much better.
    Bertram Jacobus: title yellow labeled : bert :o)
    Bruce Mowbray: Please, if you would, Wol.

    Wol Euler: is it my imagination or is everyone particularly quiet today?
    --BELL--
    Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, your impression is correct
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i was telling storm and bleu before that there is a full package of sim on a stick
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://dwellonit.taterunino.net/sim-on-a-stick/
    Wol Euler nods.
    Yakuzza Lethecus: and it works, it´s fun even tho that it doesn´t have voice :)
    Wol Euler: I wanted to try that this weekend
    Wol Euler: but I'll be working instead :(
    arabella Ella: what is a sim on a stick Yaku?
    arabella Ella: apologies i had some IMs
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s an opensim server for the usb stick
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it only works on windows pc´s
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s very simple to start and you can connect to ur own ,,sim" with an alternative SL compatible browser
    arabella Ella: sounds interesting
    arabella Ella: so the viewer is on the USB stick then?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: no the server
    Mickorod Renard: bit beyond me i think
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s especially interesting for educators since the access to SL is often restrikted
    Yakuzza Lethecus: restricted
    arabella Ella: in what way do you see it as interesting for educators Yaku?
    arabella Ella: and how does the USB come into the story then?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: especially since you don´t need secondlife, you can have your own virtual world
    Yakuzza Lethecus: you have full access and rights, but of course there is a new learning curve
    Yakuzza Lethecus: you can dl even a few free full regrions for various purposes
    arabella Ella: wow
    arabella Ella: what is it called Yaku and how can i find out more?
    arabella Ella: altho i cannot open web now not with the viewer i use here
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://vw-standards.wikispaces.com/R...+-+USB+OpenSim
    Yakuzza Lethecus: this page provides some information about it
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://dwellonit.taterunino.net/sim-on-a-stick/

    Wol Euler prefers a good long heavy and very sharp knife
    Wol Euler: just sayin'
    Agatha Macbeth: But I need to be careful i don't cut my finger off too
    Wol Euler: wel, yes, there is a certain amount of risk in any venture :)
    Agatha Macbeth: There is where I'm concerned, yes
    Fael Illyar: I did manage to poke my finger with it while cutting. with the sharp point. I'm not used to cutting with that big of a knife :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Eek
    Fael Illyar: not enough to make a wound though
    Agatha Macbeth: Glad to hear it
    Fael Illyar: but learned to be more careful with my other hand :D

    Wol Euler: heheheheh
    Fael Illyar: that's funny :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Get the point?
    Agatha Macbeth: Looks like a circus act that went wrong
    Qt Core: it may even help vent some anger ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: True
    Wol Euler: :)
    Wol Euler: watch your fingtertips when venting though
    Agatha Macbeth: Mmm
    Wol Euler: I'm told superglue is not suitable for reattachin them
    Agatha Macbeth: Alledgedly
    Wol Euler: :)

    Paradise Tennant: The Eight Verses of Training the Mind [Tibetan: Lo-jong Tsig Gye-ma], a classic text by Kadam Geshe Langri Thangpa, is a topic that His Holiness frequently chooses to teach. Lojong (often translated into English as Mind Training) is a practice in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition based on the Eight Verses formulated in Tibet by Geshe Langri Thangpa. Practitioners undertake to connect with the world in an unconditionally positive way, and also to take full responsibility for their experience of it. The practice involves redefining, reconceptualizing and reprogramming one's intent and way of thinking. The practice involves refining and purifying one's motivations and attitudes - hence "Mind Training".
