    Yaku and I gave some helpful hints for a new guardian's first time hosting


    Bleu Oleander: so I mentioned that if you had any questions with how to host/post a log I can try to help
    Bleu Oleander: also others who are at a session often know and can help
    Bleu Oleander: the first time is a bit of a challenge but quickly becomes easy
    Bleu Oleander: did you have any questions?
    Santoshima Resident: for sitting in for someone else, it's just a matter of collecting the log and sendint it to them, right?
    Bleu Oleander: you can either send to them or post it for them
    Bleu Oleander: today I will post it for Storm
    Santoshima Resident: so how do you collect the log?
    Bleu Oleander: you would click on the fountain and "claim" the session
    Santoshima Resident: ok
    Santoshima Resident: then what happens?
    Bleu Oleander: you would then get a message that says you have claimed it and will receive it sent to your emal
    Santoshima Resident: oh, easy!
    Bleu Oleander: so you should make sure the system has your email
    --BELL--


    Bleu Oleander: which Wol probably put in for you when you became a guardian
    Bleu Oleander: so you get an email link to the log text
    Bleu Oleander: and you would follow these instructions to post
    Bleu Oleander: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Guardian_Pages/Tutorials/How_To%3a_Posting_a_Chat_Log
    Bleu Oleander: do you have a password to post on the wiki?
    Bleu Oleander: if not send an email to the working group
    Santoshima Resident: if i receive emails from playasbeinggroup, does that mean the system has my email address?
    Bleu Oleander: so once you get the email, copy the test and paste it to the page on the wiki
    Bleu Oleander: not sure about that
    Santoshima Resident: i don't have a password to the wiki
    Santoshima Resident: and haven't figured out about that
    Santoshima Resident: no success there
    Bleu Oleander: so you need both things to post a log, email in the system and a password for the wiki
    Bleu Oleander: Eliza, Storm or Wol can probably help with that
    Santoshima Resident: ok, will do that ~
    Bleu Oleander: then when you first host I would be more than happy to co-host with you and walk you through it
    Bleu Oleander: perhaps that's something we should do for all new guardians
    Bleu Oleander makes a note for the quardian mtg agenda
    Bleu Oleander: but actually any quardians you see "online" can be IM'ed for help

    Santoshima Resident: ty
    Bleu Oleander: yw!
    Bleu Oleander: so, I need to get to work
    Bleu Oleander: stay as long as you like and the system will send the log to me
    Yakuzza Lethecus: take care bleu
    Bleu Oleander: and I'll post it
    Santoshima Resident: ok, thanks Bleu, good to see you
    Bleu Oleander: take care .... c u later :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: well generally during the sessions the main issue is to greet newcomers and make them aware of the logging
    Bleu Oleander: thanks Yaku, didn't talk about that :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: no, you explained most of everything :)
    Bleu Oleander: also to give out a notecard for further clarification
    Bleu Oleander: ok bye for now
    Yakuzza Lethecus: have a good day bleu
    Santoshima Resident: text if very slow for me today, choppy
    Santoshima Resident: if = is
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s also a bit much to learn in such a short time right now :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: btw. something totally unimportant but fun as a guardian is to control the fountain and some functions in the pavillion
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but you need to activate ur play as being group
    Yakuzza Lethecus: then type /9 help
    Santoshima Resident: i'm a fast learner, just need pointing out
    Santoshima Resident: ok
    Yakuzza Lethecus: back to the logging of sessions,
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i think you have to add your email asdress manually into the logger, when you claim a log there is usually a message
    Yakuzza Lethecus: if the system doesn´t have ur mail
    --BELL--


    Santoshima Resident: ok, that must be it, have never done that
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i don´t think wol got to enter it
    Santoshima Resident: I had heard that bleu and albert will teach on prims this week ~
    Santoshima Resident: has that happened already?
    Santoshima Resident: teaching about building
    Santoshima Resident: do you know?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i thought it´s next week, but no i don´t know a date
    Santoshima Resident: oh, ok
    Yakuzza Lethecus: just recall that it was mentioned somewhere
    Santoshima Resident: is the schedule for that kind of thing posted online on the wiki?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: what do you mean ?
    Santoshima Resident: for ... such
    Santoshima Resident: is there a schedule somewhere?
    Santoshima Resident: that i can look up?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Chat_Logs/2011/11
    Santoshima Resident: ty
    Yakuzza Lethecus: you mean the list of logs ?
    Santoshima Resident: no, special classes/teaching/topics such as that: prims lesson
    Santoshima Resident: for example
    Yakuzza Lethecus: ah
    Yakuzza Lethecus: druth started a timetable
    Santoshima Resident: oh, great
    Santoshima Resident: on the wiki?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but i don´t think all ppl put their activities into it
    Santoshima Resident: i didn't know about the timetable ...
    Yakuzza Lethecus: http://wiki.playasbeing.org/Events/Calendar
    Santoshima Resident: but often lose track of scheduled events
    Santoshima Resident: ty
    Yakuzza Lethecus: don´t know if it´s really updated :(
    Yakuzza Lethecus: at least my voicesession still exsists and the dream workshop is also still there :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but i can´t make it usually to the other activities
    Santoshima Resident: yeah
    Santoshima Resident: why did you start the voice chat gatherings, yaku?
    Yakuzza Lethecus: there was a chat and voice gathering before in the kira cafe when i first came here
    Santoshima Resident: oh
    Yakuzza Lethecus: actually i always visited bleu there :)
    Santoshima Resident: nice
    Yakuzza Lethecus: *waves to bleu reading the log*
    Yakuzza Lethecus: *giggle*
    Santoshima Resident: hi bleu!
    Yakuzza Lethecus: so since i usually like to have these voicechats at some point eden suggested that i should start such an activity
    Santoshima Resident: it's a grat idea
    Santoshima Resident: grat = great
    Yakuzza Lethecus: well i am not a good moderator or am especially skilled in contemplation, it´s like a regular pab chat
    Santoshima Resident: someday, i'll get the mic working, so as to prevent hearing loss for the others attending ~ it was metalica the one time i tried to participate
    Santoshima Resident: yes, more like PaB
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it can be contemplative, but also turn into chitchat, so don´t expect to much
    Santoshima Resident: right
    Yakuzza Lethecus: it´s also a ,,not recorded" session
    Yakuzza Lethecus: so it´s at least for me a bit more lightful to just talk about things
    Santoshima Resident: yeah, some more informal aspect to that
    --BELL--
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i am also logging out now, do you have any questions ?
    Santoshima Resident: :)
    Santoshima Resident: no, thank, Yaku
    Santoshima Resident: take good care
    Yakuzza Lethecus: you two, have a good start in the day
