    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Stormy :)
    Storm Nordwind: Hi there!
    Storm Nordwind: Just thought I'd pop by. Can't really stay long
    Agatha Macbeth: Okies
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice to see you anyway
    Storm Nordwind: You too - as always! :)
    Agatha Macbeth: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Are you up late or early?
    Storm Nordwind: Up very late. It's 2am
    Agatha Macbeth: OMG
    Agatha Macbeth: I just thought I'd come by to see if anyone was taking the session
    Storm Nordwind: Ah... so it's not yours. (I don't normally look at this part of the calendar!)
    Agatha Macbeth: No, well it's one of those permanently-open ones which Wol usually does
    Storm Nordwind: I see
    Agatha Macbeth: Course she's getting ready for the retreat so can't be here
    Storm Nordwind: Of course, yes. I expect she's looking forward to that
    Agatha Macbeth: I guess so
    Agatha Macbeth: A (much needed) break from work if nothing else...
    Agatha Macbeth: Morning Qt :)
    Qt Core: Hi Agatha, Storm
    Storm Nordwind: Hi Qt!
    Storm Nordwind: Well I was just preparing something in the theatre for July 31st - I guess I should go to bed now :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Nice to see you anyway...
    Qt Core: sleep well
    Storm Nordwind: Thank you both.
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care
    Storm Nordwind: Namaste
    Agatha Macbeth: _/\_
    Agatha Macbeth: So, how are you Qt?
    Qt Core: quite good, good omens for a quiet sunday ;-)
    Qt Core: You ?
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, fine thanks
    Agatha Macbeth: Just finishing breakfast
    Agatha Macbeth: It's raining here (surprise susprise)
    Qt Core: cloudy here
    Qt Core: rain later i think
    Agatha Macbeth: I bet it's really humid then
    Qt Core: not really, quite a good weather (for someone who don't like the sun)
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear, you're in a bad place to be if you don't like sun
        --BELL--
    Qt Core: i have issues with too much sunlght in my eyes, not the sun per se, so hats, sunglasses and a vampire shadow sixth sense are enough to survive it ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth grins
    Agatha Macbeth: Suppose it could be worse
    Agatha Macbeth: You could be in the Middle east
    Agatha Macbeth: Or on the equator somewhere
    Qt Core: or on one of the poles with midnight sun
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, true
    Agatha Macbeth: But I guess the sunlight wouldn't be too intense there
    Qt Core: then i work north-east from my house, so i have low sun in front of me both ways ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: The best of both worlds
    Qt Core: dawns and sunsets, sometimes they are a great show
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh yes :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Sunsets specially
    Qt Core: especially when they are red/orange... thans to all the pollution particulate ;)
    Agatha Macbeth smiles
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Agatha Macbeth: I love to see a good sunset around this time of year
    Agatha Macbeth: and they happen so late here too
    Agatha Macbeth: around 9PM
    Agatha Macbeth: How long have you been in SL now Qt?
    Qt Core: 2.5 years
    Agatha Macbeth: Wow
    Agatha Macbeth: I just wondered what first inerested you about it?
    Qt Core: following a couple friends when Google Lively died
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah yes
    Agatha Macbeth: I remember now you mentioning that before
    Agatha Macbeth: Are your friends still in SL?
    Qt Core: i wish, they disappeared ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Agatha Macbeth: so you are the only one left?
    Qt Core: haven't see them in more than a year
    Agatha Macbeth: :(
    Qt Core: speaking about dawn: https://picasaweb.google.com/qt.core...41672082408802
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm?
    Agatha Macbeth looks
    Agatha Macbeth: Oooh
    Agatha Macbeth: Is that Tripoli in Libya?
    Qt Core: yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Agatha Macbeth: cos there's one in Lebanon too, I think

    A visitor arrives
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello :)
    Qt Core: yes
    Qt Core: hi Qend
        --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: Have you been to Playasbeing before Qend?
    Agatha Macbeth: The notecard I just gave you tells a bit about us
    Qend Resident: Oh, thank you.
    Agatha Macbeth: One thing tho, we log these sessions on a wiki
    Qend Resident: May I edit the Wiki?
    Agatha Macbeth: so we need permission for your SL name to be used in the log
    Agatha Macbeth: is that ok?
    Qend Resident: Ok.
    Agatha Macbeth: (It's a legal thing)
    Agatha Macbeth: Thank you

    A misunderstanding now arises
    Agatha Macbeth: Sorry QT, what do you mean, edit *this* log?
    Qt Core: Qend asked that
    Agatha Macbeth: Hang on, I'll read back
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, I see
    Agatha Macbeth: thought you said it QT, sorry
    Qt Core: only Pab members may edit the wiki, you may become one if you get interested in ours activities, Qend
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, you have to be a member of the Gurardians group to do any editing
    Agatha Macbeth: (otherwise anyone could do it!)
    Qt Core: but over the general permission about showing your name and word on the wiki you can ask for specific things you said to be omitted if you don't want them published
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: You just need to tell someone

    Tech troubles...
    Qt Core: another dawn pic, not really an happy shot ;-)https://picasaweb.google.com/qt.core...34532578388706
    Agatha Macbeth: It won't open for me for some strange reason
    Agatha Macbeth: No, the link won't work: strange
    Agatha Macbeth: The other one you gave me worked fine
    Qt Core: strange, it is another album but with open permissions
    Agatha Macbeth: Don't get it
    Agatha Macbeth: Nope, nada
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah well...
    Agatha Macbeth: If it wasn't very happy, perhaps I would rather not see it anyway :p
    Qt Core: it is just a dawn pic, you have to know that there should have been a solar eclipse to get why it isn't happy ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Solar eclipse eh?
    Agatha Macbeth: Was it a recent one?
    Qt Core: the partial one on 4 Jan 2011
    Agatha Macbeth: Where was it taken from?
    Qt Core: a few km from my home
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Qt Core: Qend, i saw you just joined SL, how you come to do it ?
        --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: Are you the strong, silent type maybe Qend? :)
    Agatha Macbeth: (a cliché if ever there was one)
    Agatha Macbeth: It's ok, there's no compulsion to speak :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Many of us sit quietly much of the time
    Qt Core: sometimes in fear of flooding the space with silly things
    Agatha Macbeth: Now when do I do that QT? [grin]
    Qt Core: ;-)
    Qend Resident: Oh if only I had something silly to say.
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm sure you can think of something :ppp
    Qt Core: only deep philosophical thoughts ?
    Qend Resident: I am actually sometimes preoccupied, so I have to be selective
    Agatha Macbeth: That's fair enough :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Natural selection...
    Qt Core: even withouth being (most of the times) preoccupied i find i don't speak most of what i think
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: And it's more difficult when english isn't your first language I guess
    Qt Core: easier as sometimes you don't even know how not to say what you don't want to say ;-)
    Qend Resident: What do we do with thoughts that come to our minds but not out our mouths?
    Agatha Macbeth: :))
    Agatha Macbeth: Good question!
    Qend Resident frowns at Aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: Keep them to ourselves I guess
    Qt Core: many of them are just not even things to be said, think about noticing the colors around you or the sound of a passing car
    Agatha Macbeth: Mm, yes
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm not really a philosopher...
    Agatha Macbeth: In fact not at all to be honest
    Qend Resident: I am uncomfortable identifying myself with almost anything.
    Agatha Macbeth: It can be dangerous, yes
    Qend Resident: That is probably a sign of strength and awareness in most people, and weakness in my case.
    Agatha Macbeth: Not necessarily
    Agatha Macbeth: Not weakness, just caution
    Qt Core: maybe changing the wording may help, instead that (today) i am ... today i'm showing my X side
    Qend Resident: If it did not have lasting if not irreversible negative consequences I would not mind such experimentation
        --BELL--
    Agatha Macbeth: Like I always say 'Everybody is different'
    Qt Core: (hurrah for diversity)
    Agatha Macbeth nods. Indeed!
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh well, I have RL shopping to do, so I'll say goodbye for now
    Qt Core: and i have food to cook
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye QT
    Agatha Macbeth: Qend, please come again
    Qt Core: bye Agatha and bye Qend
    Qend Resident: Goodbye
    Agatha Macbeth: The times of the sessions are in the notecard I gave you
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care
