The Guardian for this meeting was Riddle Sideways taking over for no assigned GoC.
SL and PaB may have conspired to get Riddle over to Wednesday. Even the 'Region Restart' moved to Wednesday in honour of my paranoia :)
Eliza reports that the region never restarted on Wednesday until now. Ergo, my point.
Lucinda Lavender: HI Riddle!
Riddle Sideways: Hi Cinda and Ari
Lucinda Lavender: Cinda is looking for her hair
Riddle Sideways: was just goiing to ask about your new hair
Arisia Vita: ah, very nice
Riddle Sideways: there, but it did rez slowly
Riddle Sideways: growing in in spurts
Lucinda Lavender: I was thinking that perhaps I would speed things up without the hair but it seems to not have any been a help
Riddle Sideways: Storm was explaining that... oh can't remember if it is prims or AOs or other that affects lag
Lucinda Lavender: hmm
Riddle Sideways: Hi Xir
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi Rid, Eliza, Arisia:)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi Luuci!!
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Xirana:)
Lucinda Lavender: :))
we all seem to be wondering about the Vespa parked nearby and coffee table in the sky.
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): Rid, have you come with the moto?? :)
Riddle Sideways: nope, that is Aph's
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ahh :)
Riddle Sideways: as is the coffee table in the air over there
Riddle Sideways: was wondering why Aph's objects are all over :)
Lucinda Lavender: Luci looks and does not see ...
Riddle Sideways: in the clearing behind us
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I don't see the cofee table either:)
Lucinda Lavender: I see the moto now:)
Riddle Sideways: beyond the second sign
Riddle Sideways: beyond the donations board
Lucinda Lavender: ah yes up in the air abit...
Riddle Sideways: not sure of the usefulness of a coffee table that high off the ground
Riddle Sideways: "High Tea"
Lucinda Lavender: perhaps in preparation for our themed discussion of the retreat...
Lucinda Lavender: When attending a retreat in Rl we did some drawing on a coffee table...
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): oh!..'on' a cofee table?
Lucinda Lavender: on paper on the table
Arisia Vita: welcome Be
Lucinda Lavender: with markers
Riddle Sideways: Hi Be

Lucinda Lavender: Moon sets in 1 minute for me...
Lucinda Lavender: was just checking...
Lucinda Lavender: sun rises in 11 minutes
Lucinda Lavender: enjoy keepint track:)
Riddle Sideways: the Moon was way toooo bright last night
Lucinda Lavender: wow...very yes
Lucinda Lavender: some lovely high clouds near it lighting up the whole sky
Riddle Sideways: driving up the hill last night, just wanted to flash brights at that moon to dim it :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)))
Lucinda Lavender: naughty moon
Be (be.ewing): raining here finally :)
Be (be.ewing): another way to dim the moon
Lucinda Lavender: much awaited?
Be (be.ewing): much, much awaited
Lucinda Lavender: ah...
++ bell ++
Riddle Sideways: Scientists tell us that this moon is not bigger or closer then last months version
Riddle Sideways: but anybody can tell
Lucinda Lavender: just noticing that we have not claimed the session..
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): you see it closer?
Riddle Sideways: that it is bigger, brighter and nearer, then last
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yesterday here I was also seeing the moon and having the feeling it was bigger
Riddle Sideways: whoops, thought you had
Lucinda Lavender: no I forgot
Lucinda Lavender: whoops
Riddle Sideways: ummmm, can't claim it
Lucinda Lavender: me neither...
Lucinda Lavender: it is not allowing
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I can not ..it maust be broken
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): must*
Riddle Sideways: oh, well. will use the viewers chat box for the wiki
Lucinda Lavender: hmmwonder if this is because it is way past the
Lucinda Lavender: start time
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I don't think so, Luci...
Riddle Sideways: please pardon.... WOL
Riddle Sideways: HEY WOL !!!!!
Lucinda Lavender: Wol
Riddle Sideways: THIS THING IS BROKE AGAIN
Lucinda Lavender: Wol knows
Riddle Sideways: sorry for shouting :)
Lucinda Lavender: well I do not literally mean she knows but she knows lots
Riddle Sideways: Hi Susan
Lucinda Lavender: Wol knows lots ...
Lucinda Lavender: Hi susan!!
Be (be.ewing): Claim the session for what and why?
Lucinda Lavender: we are struggling to clam the log
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi Susan:)
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): waves
Lucinda Lavender: Well Be this conversation is usually recorded and posted to a wiki
Be (be.ewing): also something about Blood Moon in Aries tonight full moon
Be (be.ewing): believe it may mean something to astrologers and similar people who follow heavenly bodies
Lucinda Lavender: Yes Sanguine Moon I have heard it called
Lucinda Lavender whispers: Be have you been here before?
Be (be.ewing): Lucinda -- I learned that yesterday
Lucinda Lavender: I will send you a note card about it...
Be (be.ewing): yesterday for sure
Be (be.ewing): I have one but thank you
Lucinda Lavender: oh...ok:)
Lucinda Lavender: claiming the log is what gets the recording started
Lucinda Lavender: tho...the fountain in the middle says it is recording
Riddle Sideways: the old style / old school is to just copy the chat box and paste into a text editor
Riddle Sideways: which we did for years
Be (be.ewing): does it record when "On Air" sign is on?
Riddle Sideways: supposedly
Be (be.ewing): Is that another indicator -- or does that no work either?
Lucinda Lavender: do you have the ability to do that today? Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: you can never tell with software
Be (be.ewing): right now its says "ONAIR"
Lucinda Lavender: then hmmmm
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): but, can you copy all the text box since we have met, Riddle?
Riddle Sideways: yes, still have the old technology around
Be (be.ewing): with space between ON and AIR implied by two rows of print :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Riddle Sideways: handy set of macros in a text editor
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ok, I didn't know it was possible :)
Lucinda Lavender: I have to go open up the chicken coop:)
Lucinda Lavender: brb
Santoshima: love that
Santoshima: earthiness between the digital age stuff
Riddle Sideways: Hi Santo (did not see you)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hi San:)
Santoshima: i saw you! HELLO!
Susan Sorensson (iwandertoo): hehe
Be (be.ewing): Hi :)
Santoshima: :))
++ bell ++
Santoshima: what are you all talking about
Santoshima: { shh }
Be (be.ewing): a little about moon now and then
Be (be.ewing): mostly silence though
Be (be.ewing): feels similar to meditation today
Play as Being 15 minute bell: Thank you.
Riddle Sideways: hmmm, is the Moon an earthiness subject?
Santoshima: chickens are
Be (be.ewing): excuse me -- i did not see silence text
Santoshima: np
Riddle Sideways: ah, because some of us are silent during the 90-sec bell
Be (be.ewing): I usually discount messages that color
Be (be.ewing): amazing what one can be blind to :)
Lucinda Lavender: back...
Lucinda Lavender: chickens say hello
Santoshima: how are the chckens, luci?
Riddle Sideways: oh dear... Yesterday's missing Region restart is today

Riddle Sideways: maybe since Riddle is taking the wednesday session too :)
Riddle Sideways: it restarts here too
Santoshima: when?

Riddle Sideways: going to walk to another sim
Arisia Vita: bye all
Riddle Sideways: and watch
Riddle Sideways: bye all and thanks
we watch the REGION RESTART from the Kira building. Then come back.
we were talking about Xirana's art exhibit. Besides the great painting, there were these very nice scruptures of modern day heroes. Xirana had a price of $0.00L on them so I took a Billy Holiday of the homestead plot. We were discussing modifying it bigger or smaller in that environ.
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I've seen that in SL is not easy to have the feeling of proportion of the objects
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): in a place it seems ok in a more closed or small it seems very big
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): well...but you must feel comfortable having it in the near
Riddle Sideways: ah the sim has come back
Riddle Sideways: can go to pavillion now
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ok yes:)
Riddle Sideways: restart log
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): it does not take a lot of time to restart a region:)
Riddle Sideways: that time was about 5min!
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes:)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): now the record is sleeping:)
Riddle Sideways: still can not touch it
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): welll..not sure, maybe a little more
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): me either
Riddle Sideways: excuse me, while writting an email to the recorder fixers
our commentator screams "WOL W O L WWWWW OOOOOO LLLLLL" (there)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ok:)
Riddle Sideways: there reported to the great email list in the cloud
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): good:)
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): what do you mean 'in the clod' ?
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): cloud*
Riddle Sideways notes that the coffee table and Vespa survived the region restart
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): metaphor?
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): hehe yes!! :)
Riddle Sideways:
hmmmm, both metaphor and tech Riddle Sideways: email goes off to a google group that is hosted on a cloud server
Riddle Sideways: but the web/internet as a Cloud metaphor is very apt
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I was wondering about places to do retreats near where I live
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): which kind of conditions are important?
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I find religious places like a monastery
Riddle Sideways: let's see
Riddle Sideways: large enough meeting room
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): ahh yes! a clud is in the sky and also moves following the push of the wind:)
Riddle Sideways: to sit 6-12 maybe comfortably
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): this room must be only for the group?
Riddle Sideways: there have been some "urban" retreats that did not have remote country away feeligns
Riddle Sideways: *feel to them
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I would like 'urban' retreats:)) I am always in the country:)
Riddle Sideways: but, is nicer (some think) to have the place a little remote
Riddle Sideways: for less city/manmade noises
Riddle Sideways: for meditations
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): well..in the country all silence and quiet is easier
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes
bell : : Thank you.
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): after next pause I will go to your plot..I am curious to see the sculpture there
Riddle Sideways: making a 'retreating from normal' easier
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): :)
Riddle Sideways: a City or sea of humanity still has the quiet under it
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): what I find important is that the place is well comunicated
Riddle Sideways: but is often harder to grash
Riddle Sideways: *grasp
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): yes
Xirana (xirana.oximoxi): I go to find your place, ok Rid?
