Agatha Macbeth: Hello Brucie :)
Bruce Mowbray: Howdy do, aggers.
Agatha Macbeth: How are you today?
Bruce Mowbray: Pretty good. I just returned from a run into town. . . All my parts seems to be working OK.
Bruce Mowbray: How are you doing?
Agatha Macbeth: I'm fine thanks
Bruce Mowbray: Is it cold over there, as we hear it is?
Agatha Macbeth: Bit grey, slow rezzing
Bruce Mowbray: You look great to me, ags.
Agatha Macbeth: It is, but not as cold today
--BELL--(1300)
Bruce Mowbray: I really feel for the folks in eastern Europe and Italy.
Agatha Macbeth: It was actually trying to rain earlier
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, you don't expect it in Italy
Bruce Mowbray: that's for sure -- or in Northern Africa, either.
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Agatha Macbeth: except in the mountains of course
Bruce Mowbray: oh yeah.
Bruce Mowbray: Are you going to particvipate in the Art as Being project this month?
Agatha Macbeth: I always used to think the tops of mountains should be warmer, cos they are nearer the sun ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: Er...dunno
Bruce Mowbray: Well, of course. . . excellent logic there, ags.
Agatha Macbeth: time and imagination will dictate
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Agatha, hi Bruce
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Sharon :)
Bruce Mowbray: I'm feeling a bit crimped by only one photo and no scripts.
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Sophia!
Agatha Macbeth: nice to see you as always
SophiaSharon Larnia: nice to see you also
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: what's the theme again?
Bruce Mowbray: Happiness"
Agatha Macbeth: OMG
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Agatha Macbeth: I wonder if I'm qualified then [grin]
Bruce Mowbray: I made a rotating sphere with a photo as its texture. . . . but even that is not permitted.
Bruce Mowbray: (rotating script).
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Agatha Macbeth: seems somewhat limiting
Bruce Mowbray: yep. But I'll figure something out.
Agatha Macbeth: I must fish the email out and take a look
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Sam
oO0Oo Resident: :)
oO0Oo Resident: l

Agatha Macbeth: Hi 0, hi 0 :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: ~waves back~
Agatha Macbeth: I do like that Av
Bruce Mowbray: ♥
SophiaSharon Larnia: i wish I could see mesh ;)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh-
Agatha Macbeth: can you not see it?
SophiaSharon Larnia: no, the mesh viewers lagged me too severely to stay on them
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: I hadn't heard about that problem
SophiaSharon Larnia: hmm
Agatha Macbeth: I'll nose around a faq or two
SophiaSharon Larnia: k thx
Agatha Macbeth: So you find V1 less laggy?
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Korel, HI Wol
Wol Euler: gah, the lag, it is strong tonight
Korel Laloix: Heya
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Kori.
Wol Euler: evening all
Agatha Macbeth: Strong with the lag are you young Wol ♥
SophiaSharon Larnia: im back on phoenix 1.5.2, and maginally
Korel Laloix: Viewer one is sooo much better than anything now.
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Wol. Korel :)
Agatha Macbeth: Osiyo K
SophiaSharon Larnia: viewer 3 or 1 ?
oO0Oo Resident: New version of Firestorm looks good.
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, that's what I'm on
Wol Euler: so does sam :)
Korel Laloix: The origional SL viewer si the best one so far in terms of lag and stability.
Agatha Macbeth: 3.3.0.24880 (it says here)
SophiaSharon Larnia: oh well, mesh balls it is until i find time to play around :)
Bruce Mowbray: I'm with the original SL viewer and really like it.
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Wol.
Korel Laloix: And it does not crassh all the time.
Agatha Macbeth: Guess it all comes down to what one is comfortable with
Korel Laloix: No, not at all.
Agatha Macbeth: People look for different things from viewers
Korel Laloix: It is a function of perforaance.
Korel Laloix: Low crash rate, low lag, etc.
Agatha Macbeth: I think a lot of builders like something called Singularity
Korel Laloix: Just not with all the new features.
SophiaSharon Larnia: hi Ewan
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Ewan.
oO0Oo Resident: Hi Ewan :)
Ewan Bonham: Hi Folks...:)
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Ewan
Wol Euler: I want a viewer that gets out of my way. the "official" v2 and v3 viewers are like a huge dog in a tiny apartment, slobbering all over your shoes and knocking things off the shelves with its tail
Agatha Macbeth: Like Boxy :p
Korel Laloix: You are bing way too kind Wol.
SophiaSharon Larnia: yea, apt description heh
Wol Euler smiles.
oO0Oo Resident: hahahaha.. what a metaphor.. the saint Bernhard series of viewers
Wol Euler: brb
Agatha Macbeth smiles @ Brucie's laggy laugh
Korel Laloix: The number of newbies that I have rescued from viwer two is rediculous.
--BELL--(1315)
Korel Laloix: Lots area bout to quit, then I show them viewer one and the stay.
Ewan Bonham: I think that Firestorm can be tailored to be made a lot easier..
Ewan Bonham: That might be a compromise..:)
Wol Euler: hello ewan
Agatha Macbeth: Trouble is if people start on the LL viewer they don't know any different
Wol Euler nods.
Korel Laloix: That is true.
Korel Laloix: But unfortunatly, that is what is given to them when they sign up.
Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
Wol Euler: I miss mentoring on the newborn areas :(
Agatha Macbeth: That's where having mentors always came in handy
Wol Euler: that was fun, and good karma
Agatha Macbeth: snap
Wol Euler: yep
Bruce Mowbray: Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I only know the SL viewer and it's always been just fine for me.
Agatha Macbeth: If it works, why fix it...
Bruce Mowbray: I found the biggest improvement to viewing came when I upgraded my graphics card.
Bruce Mowbray: Amazing difference, then.
Wol Euler: definitely :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: thats what Im going to have to do, ive tried everyhting else
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, Sophia -- when you first spoke about the "mesh," I immediately thought of your graphics card.
SophiaSharon Larnia: yes
Bruce Mowbray: Everything appears almost instantly now.
Agatha Macbeth: So you just see 0 as a ball then Shaz?
SophiaSharon Larnia: tried all tpv's, setting etc :)
Bruce Mowbray: Even when folks say that they appear grey to themselves, I can see them fully in color.
SophiaSharon Larnia: no, just the skirt :)
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: She looks so cute too
Wol Euler: she does :)
SophiaSharon Larnia: i can see that :D

Mickorod Renard: sorry, baby woke up
Agatha Macbeth: Goo goo
Storm Nordwind: There was a natural cycle of interest and energy for many of the workshops Agatha. Don't think it was the location or the fact it had 4x as many prims in it!
