Agatha Macbeth: Sera QT :)
Qt Core: 'sera Agatha
Agatha Macbeth: How are things?
Qt Core: quite good and quite hot (today we reached 30C)
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Agatha Macbeth: I hate to think what it must be like in the south then
Qt Core: cloudy if i remember the meteo ;-)
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: At least italy has no deserts :)
Qt Core: we may get some in some thousands years ;-)
Qt Core: and how are you today ?
Agatha Macbeth: Well you don't need to worry :p
Agatha Macbeth: I'm okay thanks
Agatha Macbeth: Still light outside
Qt Core: trying to imagine sunlight or sunset at this time of the day, quite weird, may have to try it ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, it's that time of year :)
Agatha Macbeth: In June, virtually the whole 1300 session takes place in daylight for me
Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Shaz :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Aggers Hi Qt :)
Qt Core: Hi Sharon
Agatha Macbeth: Nice to see you again
SophiaSharon Larnia: nice to see you too
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Agatha Macbeth: How has today been Sharon?
SophiaSharon Larnia: considering SL time is like, 24 hr = 3 days
Qt Core: Hi Wol
Wol Euler: hello aggers, sharon, qt
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Hello my dear :))
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, isn't it?
Agatha Macbeth: Time is a strange thing all round if you ask me
Qt Core: sl sunset and dawn are quite nice, especially if there is some sea around
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Zon :)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh absolutely QT
Agatha Macbeth: Can't beat sunset over the sea
Agatha Macbeth: Or sunrise
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Zon
Qt Core: (and gr4aphic settings are high enough)
Zon Kwan: hey all
Qt Core: hi Zon
Agatha Macbeth: I meant in RL :) but same goes for SL
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Wol Euler: my RL needs a better coprocessor
SophiaSharon Larnia: mine too
Agatha Macbeth: Give it a kick :p
SophiaSharon Larnia: mine is rather buggy
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Ric
Agatha Macbeth: Hello again Ricfender
Wol Euler: hello ric
Qt Core: it is already hard enough with a single core in rl ;-)
Ricfender Resident: hello
Qt Core: hi Ric
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: and the RAM is *so* constrained
Agatha Macbeth: Ain't it just?
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Wol Euler gives a little cry of delight on finding some chocolate cookies hiding under a magazine
Agatha Macbeth: What does Windlight do exactly?
Wol Euler: changes the appearance of the world
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles hysterically
Wol Euler: you can change the colour of hte sun, or move it about
SophiaSharon Larnia: <3
Wol Euler: impose clouds or mist or fog or starry night
Agatha Macbeth: Oh, wouldn't wanna do that
SophiaSharon Larnia: whoops
Wol Euler: change the colour of ambient light
Wol Euler: you can do some really neat stuff with it
SophiaSharon Larnia: i like your tag Ric
Wol Euler: but it's really easy to produce hideously awful effects too
Agatha Macbeth: So a graphics thing then?
Wol Euler: yep
Ricfender Resident: thanks
Agatha Macbeth: Thx
SophiaSharon Larnia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnrsqf33MXA
Agatha Macbeth: Think I'd better leave it alone...
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: (watching YouTube) That takes me back
Wol Euler: well, it's really easy to undo too: just use World/Einvironnemt/Midday
Wol Euler: or any ohter time
Agatha Macbeth: Okies, ty :)
    --BELL--
Wol Euler: they were really well corporately styled, weren't they?
Agatha Macbeth: 90 secs of silence featuring the Beatles - tremendous
SophiaSharon Larnia: laughs
Wol Euler: the identical outfits, all growing handlebar mustaches at the same time
Agatha Macbeth: The Beatclones
Ricfender Resident: :) yeah yeah yeah
Wol Euler: yep
Qt Core: today i was "hit" by this (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-en...nment-13452711) quite hard to grasp and to imagine how to talk/think that way
SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm, how do they agree on when to gather, stuff like that
Wol Euler: huh
Agatha Macbeth: I'd fit right in there
Wol Euler: heheh
SophiaSharon Larnia: "when the sun is by that big branch over there'
SophiaSharon Larnia: :) Aggers
Qt Core: maybe they have such a simple organization that once adult you know what/when to do
Agatha Macbeth smiles
SophiaSharon Larnia: maybe
Ricfender Resident: everything is "ish" there
Wol Euler: well, our societies were exactly like that until a few hundred years ago
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't know what to do when I became an adult
Wol Euler: your role and home were known from birth on
Agatha Macbeth: Mm, could be
Qt Core: probably they don't have agricolture, quite hard to do it without time, even if thay know time, they just don't speak about that
Agatha Macbeth: Structured time seems so connected with work
Ricfender Resident: or other "stuff"
Wol Euler: well, living in the rain forest, always overcanopied by dense trees, they might not see enough stars to pick out the wanderers and so create a calendar
Wol Euler: (strange theory)
Agatha Macbeth: They don't have so many trees to worry about now :(
Wol Euler: probably true
Qt Core: it is the same as mine, EOl
Qt Core: Wol
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth smiles at Eol
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Qt Core: they probably have river floods to keep time
Qt Core: (if they wish)
Agatha Macbeth: It's wet so it must be August
SophiaSharon Larnia: heh
Qt Core: or the cycle of they most eaten fruit
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Seasonal stuff, right
Ricfender Resident: so there is time, just no clocks or calander
Agatha Macbeth: Calendars were probably first required when agriculture took off
Ricfender Resident: They survive, so there is a sence of when to find or look for certain things
SophiaSharon Larnia: pictures a time of the blueberry
Wol Euler: season of the parrot eggs
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahahga
Ricfender Resident: I think it becomes harder for these people to not be effected by outside influences
SophiaSharon Larnia: um - g
Agatha Macbeth: Think I'll take the blueberries
Qt Core: the article says that they don't have problem using time related words whwn they learn another language that has them so, again, they know about time
Wol Euler: it'll be interesting to see if hte Portuguese words for time get adopted in their own language
Agatha Macbeth: They probably just wish the damn explorers hadn't found 'em
Wol Euler: well, yeah
Agatha Macbeth: I guess they probably will Wol
SophiaSharon Larnia: how sad aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if they have a MacDonalds yet?
Qt Core: (sadly) wondering how much time will be needed before their culture dies
Agatha Macbeth: Not long, sadly
Agatha Macbeth: And not only theirs
    --BELL--
SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm
Agatha Macbeth: No

At this point we hear someone shouting from somewhere in Bieup...
Wol Euler: I shall personally kick anyone who shouts an answer
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahahahh
Agatha Macbeth: Looks like he/she/it's gone
Agatha Macbeth: I'll edit them out
Wol Euler smiles.
Qt Core: wow, i was going to shout: "minimap" ;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia puts away the tag
Agatha Macbeth: Glad you didn't QT
SophiaSharon Larnia: hahah
Agatha Macbeth: With a bit of luck, they went to Hanja to join the other nutters
Wol Euler nods.
SophiaSharon Larnia: how far does a shout go, anyway?
Agatha Macbeth: Dunno
Wol Euler: not very, 100m I believe
SophiaSharon Larnia: ok thx :)
Qt Core: 100m if i remember it right
Agatha Macbeth: I don't even know how
Wol Euler: clickon the popup to the right of hte text box
Wol Euler: like whispering but different :)
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, I only whisper when i don't mean to
SophiaSharon Larnia: me too :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Qt Core: i'm letting my eyes wandering in my rl rooms and i can't stop thinking about time and its measuring, how many days something is sitting on my desk, how many years ago i bought the forniture, how many hours till i'l go to my bed and so on, it's making me going crazy
SophiaSharon Larnia: does it look back?
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe you should try dropping time then QT :p
Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure Pema knows how
Qt Core: or a hammer on a toe ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Owwwww
Qt Core: that would make me think about something else
Agatha Macbeth: Like calling a doctor?
Ricfender Resident: pain
SophiaSharon Larnia: thats distraction
Qt Core: no, some well choosen cursing, mostly
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah, that helps
SophiaSharon Larnia: or not so well chossen in my case
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Agatha Macbeth: I don't choose when I swear - it just comes out of its own accord
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Wol Euler whispers "tourette's syndrome?"
Ricfender Resident: :)
Agatha Macbeth: With me usually kitchen syndrome
Agatha Macbeth: 'SHIT I burned the toast'
Wol Euler chuckles.
    --BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Or more likely completely forget about it and remember when it's stone cold
SophiaSharon Larnia: that reminds me....
Wol Euler: mm?
Agatha Macbeth: Yea?
SophiaSharon Larnia: i actuall had something in the mic, nvm :))
SophiaSharon Larnia: microwaver
SophiaSharon Larnia: brb
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: She's bad as me
Wol Euler: I regularly burn stuff int eh kitchen because I've come back in here for "just a minute"
Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes
Agatha Macbeth: a fatal move
Qt Core: there are cooking timers for pc... and smartphones
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: I prefer a microwave :p
SophiaSharon Larnia is back and contentedly eats her soup
Ricfender Resident: I try not to use a microwave too often
Agatha Macbeth: Cold soup?
Qt Core: sometimes i thought about mounting a webcam over the stove
Wol Euler: bon appetit
Wol Euler: good idea, qt
SophiaSharon Larnia: no aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Ah good
Wol Euler: and a robot arm to stir the soup
SophiaSharon Larnia: id need a timer around my neck qt
Ricfender Resident: today's talk "Time"
Agatha Macbeth: Borrow the pavilion bell
Qt Core: around here we have "robot arms" to stir polenta. it's hard work and if traditionally done it is half an hour 45 min hard work
Wol Euler: heh
Agatha Macbeth: What's polenta?
Wol Euler: imagine porridge cooked into a biscuit
Wol Euler: corn meal
Qt Core: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polenta
Agatha Macbeth: Ah, ty
Agatha Macbeth: Okay, I believe you :p
SophiaSharon Larnia: i love corn muffins
Ricfender Resident: and corn bread
Agatha Macbeth: Muffin the mule
Wol Euler: corn chowder
SophiaSharon Larnia: who me aggers?
SophiaSharon Larnia: :P
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: ??

Agatha Macbeth: much
SophiaSharon Larnia: phew
SophiaSharon Larnia: :P
Agatha Macbeth: Ee aw ee aw ee aw to stop it
SophiaSharon Larnia: just the temperment of one
Agatha Macbeth: what about the other?
Agatha Macbeth grins
SophiaSharon Larnia: ok tempermental as 2 mules
SophiaSharon Larnia: thats pretty bad
Agatha Macbeth: Thought it was stubborn?
SophiaSharon Larnia: they probably do what they want to do
SophiaSharon Larnia: stubbon when someone tells them what to do
Agatha Macbeth: Like kick people
Agatha Macbeth: 'Have a hoof up the butt'
SophiaSharon Larnia: giggles
SophiaSharon Larnia: my favorite is a bear with a sour ass
SophiaSharon Larnia: sore
SophiaSharon Larnia: time for me to go eh :)
Agatha Macbeth: Sour ass sounds better
Wol Euler: :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: and feel free to remove that from the log
SophiaSharon Larnia: "D
Agatha Macbeth: No, think I'll leave it in :p
Wol Euler grins.
SophiaSharon Larnia eats her soup
Agatha Macbeth: People will say 'Isn't Sharon naughty'
SophiaSharon Larnia: that word is completely funny and takes the sting out of it
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Agatha Macbeth: Possibly :p
Agatha Macbeth: Tho a wasp might not agree
SophiaSharon Larnia: wasps can sting more than once
    --BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Good idea to shut the windows
Ricfender Resident: you all have a great rest of the day! Peace
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Ric
SophiaSharon Larnia: bye Ric, nice to see you :)
Wol Euler: bye ric
Agatha Macbeth: Is it me Shaz or do you have a dot as the name of a group?
SophiaSharon Larnia: my lame attempt at a singularity
Wol Euler: ah :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aha
Agatha Macbeth: Well you can't get much singularer
SophiaSharon Larnia: my own group actually, keep forgetting to rez things under group and they disappear at the worst moment
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes, frustrating, when you have the land set that way
Agatha Macbeth: 'The dot and the line'
Agatha Macbeth: I noticed in the email people seem to be having trouble receiving the log still
SophiaSharon Larnia: haha listening to life during wartime, speaking of tags lol
Wol Euler: hmmmm
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: a wonderful song
SophiaSharon Larnia: i think its that everyone hasnt headed the memo, aggers
SophiaSharon Larnia: heeded*
Agatha Macbeth: To re-register their address you mean?
SophiaSharon Larnia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DblvhECdws0
SophiaSharon Larnia: yep
Agatha Macbeth: I did it as soon as I saw Storm's email
Wol Euler: I'm really curious about this. The listener tells yuo every time you claim a session, without exceptoin, always, whether it knows your address or not.
Wol Euler: all you have to do is look at the screen
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes it does
Agatha Macbeth: Yes
SophiaSharon Larnia: i concur
Wol Euler: I don't know how I can make that more obvious, I really don't
Qt Core: do perople read things in green ?

SophiaSharon Larnia: its not you, or anyone else who said it
Qt Core: or just click on them when they remember an url ? ;-)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i just learned from all tis that the link to the log is at the beginning of the chat, that i didnt know after all this time
Agatha Macbeth smiles
SophiaSharon Larnia: so hopefully wont have to email puulleeezzee, again
Agatha Macbeth: I always grab it as soon as I get here

Wol Euler: you don't have to
Agatha Macbeth: Yeah, nobody said anything about doing every time
SophiaSharon Larnia: :)
Wol Euler: [14:10] SophiaSharon Larnia: me too, but havent been putting in an email each time
Agatha Macbeth: Storm says it only needs doing after maintainence
