Eliza posted this session from the auto-listener database...

[01:10] Wol Euler: good morning, antiverses
[01:10] Wol Euler: nice avatar :)
[01:11] antiversez Resident: It would have been my 1st choice. A lightbulb
[01:11] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:11] antiversez Resident: I could be 17 watts or 500
[01:11] Wol Euler: with a handy self-operated dimmer control
[01:11] antiversez Resident: new viewer
[01:11] Wol Euler: oh, welcome to second life :) one day old
[01:11] antiversez Resident: well, you would have to know the history
[01:12] antiversez Resident: behind the lightbulb, that is

[01:12] Wol Euler: given that you found such an avatar on the first day, and that you had the presumably fairly large amount of L$ to buy it, I infer that you are an alt.
[01:12] antiversez Resident: it was free
[01:12] Wol Euler: (no need to give any details :)
[01:12] Wol Euler: oh, wow
[01:12] Wol Euler: I'm surprised
[01:13] antiversez Resident: yeah, huh
[01:13] antiversez Resident: thank you lindens
[01:13] antiversez Resident: hehe
[01:13] Wol Euler: O.O

[01:13] Wol Euler: it's a Linden avatar!
[01:13] Wol Euler: incredible.
[01:13] antiversez Resident: gotta get rid of this inseccent typing though
[01:13] antiversez Resident: can you help?
[01:14] Wol Euler: yes, you can turn that animation off, at least in some viewers
[01:14] antiversez Resident: sl viewer, new load, 67 increments ago
[01:14] Wol Euler: type ctrl-alt-D to get the Advanced menu
[01:14] antiversez Resident: haha
[01:14] Wol Euler: hmmm, where would it be in V2? ....
[01:14] antiversez Resident: it is insessent!
[01:15] antiversez Resident: i shall c
[01:16] antiversez Resident: ah found it
[01:16] Zon Kwan: hi

[01:16] Wol Euler: hello zon
[01:16] antiversez Resident: 97 increments , hiya Zon Kwan
[01:17] antiversez Resident: oh oh
[01:17] Wol Euler: you'll notice that most people don't turn it off, actually. that's because there are no other clues here when somebody is beginning to say something
[01:17] Alfred Kelberry: wuff!
[01:17] antiversez Resident: well
[01:17] Wol Euler: the typing is an indicator that they are awake and in conversation with you
[01:17] Alfred Kelberry: hi :)
[01:17] Wol Euler: boxy :)
[01:17] antiversez Resident: it is relavant
[01:17] Alfred Kelberry: woly girl :)
[01:17] Zon Kwan: hi alf
[01:18] antiversez Resident: or incessant, for me
[01:18] Alfred Kelberry: mult? :)
[01:18] Wol Euler: sure, and if it disturbs you then it should go
[01:18] antiversez Resident: mr kellberry, i presume
[01:18] antiversez Resident: ok
[01:18] Wol Euler: aah :)
[01:19] Alfred Kelberry: indeed :)
[01:19] antiversez Resident: well, I made a promise, and sew I keep
[01:19] Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
[01:20] Alfred Kelberry: what promise?
[01:20] antiversez Resident: she has 2 methinx
[01:20] antiversez Resident: to myself
[01:21] Wol Euler: btw, I forgot to ask: Have you been here before and if so did you get a notecard and were you told about recording and publishing these sessions?
[01:21] antiversez Resident: i shall not attain 47 watts in the next 21 days
[01:21] antiversez Resident: hmm, what?
[01:21] antiversez Resident: watt?
[01:21] Wol Euler: I guess not :)
[01:22] antiversez Resident: wow, you guess, hmm

[01:22] Wol Euler: okay, this is a meeting of a meditation group called Play as Being. We gather here 4x daily to talk about meditation practices and matters which arise
[01:22] Wol Euler: which can be pretty loosely connected :)
[01:22] antiversez Resident: ty
[01:22] Wol Euler: that notecard gives you the basics about us, including a link to our website
[01:22] Wol Euler: yw
[01:23] Wol Euler: we record these sessions and publish them on the website, so that absent members can read what was said.
[01:23] antiversez Resident: laboratory
[01:23] antiversez Resident: like this word
[01:23] Wol Euler: may we have your permission to publish your SL name and comments?
[01:25] antiversez Resident: zon, disappeared
[01:25] Wol Euler: happens :)
[01:26] antiversez Resident: apparently so
[01:27] Wol Euler: antiverse, may we have your permission to publish your SL name and comments?
[01:28] Alfred Kelberry: anyway, what happened to mult?
[01:28] antiversez Resident: of course, if only you would stop your incessant typing
[01:28] Wol Euler snorts.
[01:28] Wol Euler: I have no intention of stopping, sorry.
[01:29] Wol Euler: I regret taht this inconveniences you.
[01:29] antiversez Resident: that's fine, just figuring this chat window out, type forever if you want
[01:30] antiversez Resident: bing
[01:31] Alfred Kelberry: :)
[01:32] Alfred Kelberry: that's a nice av, mult. except the tail. it looks a bit out of place :)
[01:32] antiversez Resident: so alfred, you may hate me tommorow
[01:32] antiversez Resident: I love the lightbulb though
[01:33] Alfred Kelberry: :)
[01:33] antiversez Resident: it's a new viewer too.
[01:33] antiversez Resident: sl
[01:33] antiversez Resident: strange , yet true
[01:33] antiversez Resident: could not resist
[01:34] antiversez Resident: could not resist?
[01:34] Alfred Kelberry: yep, i use the latest sl client too
[01:34] antiversez Resident: fooled ya huh?
[01:34] Alfred Kelberry: quite like the interface
[01:34] antiversez Resident: perhaps we shall discourse, in the future
[01:35] Alfred Kelberry: or present :)

[01:35] antiversez Resident: I have a real life friend, I call the lightbulb
[01:35] antiversez Resident: his name is Justin
[01:36] antiversez Resident: I ask him how many watts he is, each tyme I meet his countenence.
[01:36] antiversez Resident: somrtymes he is 500 watts, but has no juice
[01:37] antiversez Resident: at others he is sufficient, to light the room
[01:38] Wol Euler listens.
[01:38] antiversez Resident: I think, I love this lightbulb.
[01:38] antiversez Resident: if i could hug an inanimate bject, i might
[01:38] antiversez Resident: o
[01:39] Wol Euler smiles. Why not hug inanimate objects?
[01:39] antiversez Resident: but not tangible though
[01:39] antiversez Resident: can't
[01:39] antiversez Resident: physics
[01:40] Wol Euler sighs.
[01:40] antiversez Resident: wrong world, to bring that up, i guess
[01:40] antiversez Resident: i can hug a planet, you?
[01:41] Wol Euler: you could hug me, sure
[01:41] antiversez Resident: need to stretch those arms i guess
[01:41] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:41] Wol Euler: or lower my ambition
[01:41] antiversez Resident: the planet, wol/
[01:42] Wol Euler: I know :)
[01:42] antiversez Resident: ?
[01:42] Wol Euler: perhaps lying on my belly with my arms and legs out, pressing into the grass, feeling the soil, would be enough.
[01:42] antiversez Resident: it must be a box, in disguise

[01:42] Wol Euler: a baby hugging its mother cannot put its arms around her either
[01:42] antiversez Resident: wow
[01:42] antiversez Resident: that's good
[01:42] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:42] antiversez Resident: a baby, can not hug it's mother?
[01:43] Wol Euler: in the sense that you thik you cannot hug the planet, because your arms cannot encompass it
[01:43] Wol Euler: it hugs her but does not encompass her
[01:43] antiversez Resident: how do you know, .... what I thonk?
[01:43] antiversez Resident: i
[01:44] Wol Euler: I infer what you think based on the words you say, assuming that they bear relation to what you think
[01:44] antiversez Resident: I love the typing now
[01:44] antiversez Resident: hmm
[01:44] antiversez Resident: ok
[01:44] antiversez Resident: infer as you will then
[01:44] Wol Euler: perhaps I am wrong. What did you mean?
[01:45] antiversez Resident: I meant, a baby can certainly hug its mother

[01:45] Wol Euler: of course, I said that too
[01:45] Wol Euler: [01:42] Wol Euler: a baby hugging its mother cannot put its arms around her either
[01:45] antiversez Resident: hmm, have to take a break on that
[01:45] Wol Euler: "hugging" is pretty clearly in that sentence
[01:47] Wol Euler: I'm sorry, I am in an argumentative mood today. I've had two days of intestinal distress from food poisoning, and it's playing on my mood
[01:47] Alfred Kelberry: ouch!
[01:47] Alfred Kelberry: sorry about that, woly
[01:48] Wol Euler: ty
[01:48] Alfred Kelberry: one would think this can never happen in germany with careful woly :)
[01:48] Wol Euler: like the unsinkable Titanic.
[01:49] Alfred Kelberry: *recalls an ad: what are you sinking about?* :)
[01:50] Wol Euler: :)
[01:51] Alfred Kelberry: ok, water and cookes diet for you :)
[01:51] antiversez Resident: wow, food poisoning, is well poisonous, had it twice in my current life,
[01:52] antiversez Resident: lots of water yes
[01:52] Wol Euler nods.
[01:52] antiversez Resident: you should sleep, aswell
[01:52] antiversez Resident: bad food
[01:52] antiversez Resident: what was it?
[01:52] Wol Euler: typically, yes, and in this case almost certainly
[01:52] antiversez Resident: do you know/
[01:52] antiversez Resident: ?
[01:53] Wol Euler: nasi goreng, from a local greasy-spoon takeaway
[01:53] antiversez Resident: what the hell is that!
[01:53] Wol Euler: indonesian rice dish
[01:53] antiversez Resident: I'm glad it is not orderable here
[01:53] Wol Euler: mixed with veg, shrimp, pork
[01:53] Wol Euler: it can be very good if well made
[01:54] antiversez Resident: ah, the shrimp. me bets
[01:54] Wol Euler: one of those apparently simple dishes that is hard to do well
[01:54] antiversez Resident: bad stomach
[01:54] Wol Euler: I slept very little on wednesday night, throwing up every hour
[01:54] Alfred Kelberry: geez
[01:54] antiversez Resident: should be able to process, such things
[01:54] Wol Euler: 13 hours thursday night
[01:55] Alfred Kelberry: *hugs woly*
[01:55] Wol Euler: friday off
[01:55] antiversez Resident: oh wol
[01:55] Alfred Kelberry: this is awful
[01:55] Wol Euler: it was
[01:55] Wol Euler smiles.

[01:55] Alfred Kelberry: you be careful! no fancy dishes
[01:55] antiversez Resident: you need a planet to hug you, for sure
[01:55] Wol Euler: yeah
[01:55] Wol Euler: simple food and little of it, fo the next few days
[01:55] Alfred Kelberry: steak and potato for you
[01:55] antiversez Resident: soup, no steak
[01:55] Wol Euler: I'm taking lots of liquids, and mineral supplements for the washed-out electrolytes
[01:55] Wol Euler: no steak
[01:55] Alfred Kelberry: later on :)
[01:56] Wol Euler: nothing that heavy
[01:56] Alfred Kelberry: steak, as oppose to fancy food, i mean :)
[01:56] antiversez Resident: I'm so sorry wol
[01:56] Wol Euler: thank you, antiverse
[01:56] antiversez Resident: and yet you be here
[01:56] antiversez Resident: stalwart
[01:57] Wol Euler smiles.
[01:57] Wol Euler: well, it's easy to get to the toilet from here :)
[01:57] Wol Euler: ask how often I've been out of the house :)
[01:57] antiversez Resident: probably can't sleep
[01:57] Wol Euler: sleeping fairly well, actually
[01:57] antiversez Resident: had that twice, a nightmare
[01:58] antiversez Resident: a ball of fire, ejected from me to start it

[01:58] Wol Euler: actually it gave me very odd recurring dream fragment on the wednesday night
[01:58] Wol Euler: I kept looking in my inventory for the bad food item that was in my stomach, and detaching it.
[01:58] antiversez Resident: oh oh
[01:58] antiversez Resident: dreams again
[01:58] Wol Euler: couldn't understand why the RL symptoms weren't cured by that :)
[01:58] antiversez Resident: hmm, too immersed
[01:59] antiversez Resident: that was it
[01:59] antiversez Resident: shrimp in sl
[01:59] Wol Euler: must be :)
[01:59] antiversez Resident: I shall kill them hence
[01:59] Wol Euler bats her eyelashes. My hero!
[01:59] antiversez Resident: I will show you the eye of a krill maybe
[02:01] antiversez Resident: too much work, another tyme.
[02:02] antiversez Resident: they are the smallest shrimp
[02:02] Wol Euler: mmhmm
[02:02] antiversez Resident: they have 1,000 eyes though
[02:02] Wol Euler: like Dr. Mabuse
[02:03] antiversez Resident: don't know that one, English?
[02:03] Wol Euler: german, expressionistic, between the wars
[02:03] antiversez Resident: no
[02:03] antiversez Resident: krill, small shrimp
[02:03] Wol Euler: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tho..._of_Dr._Mabuse
[02:03] Wol Euler: is the one best known in English
[02:03] Wol Euler: there were a series
[02:04] antiversez Resident: another thousand
[02:07] antiversez Resident: oh well can't find it
[02:07] Wol Euler: not to worry
[02:07] antiversez Resident: I am Not worried
[02:08] antiversez Resident: purple haze I see
[02:08] Wol Euler smiles.

[02:08] Wol Euler: I had a look through the library collection of new standard avatars.
[02:08] antiversez Resident: big fingers too
[02:08] Wol Euler: things have changed a lot since I was a newbie
[02:09] antiversez Resident: s t a n d a r d
[02:09] antiversez Resident: this sl viewer is not bad
[02:09] Wol Euler nods.
[02:10] antiversez Resident: I would rather chew on his ears meself
[02:10] Wol Euler: some like it, some don't. I think it depends on how well you knew the previous one, the so-called "v1" viewers
[02:10] Wol Euler: help yourself :)
[02:10] antiversez Resident: no, no taste here
[02:10] Wol Euler: cardboard :)
[02:10] antiversez Resident: blrh
[02:10] antiversez Resident: yuk
[02:10] Wol Euler hands you a mint.
[02:11] antiversez Resident: ty
[02:11] Wol Euler: yw
[02:11] antiversez Resident: dog breath?
[02:11] antiversez Resident: hehe
[02:11] Wol Euler: taste of cardboard
[02:11] antiversez Resident: bleach then
[02:12] antiversez Resident: mints are good for your tummy, ginger I here , also
[02:12] antiversez Resident: just a little though
[02:12] Wol Euler nods.
[02:12] antiversez Resident: only to taste it
[02:12] Wol Euler: I've been having mint tea, also camomile
[02:13] Wol Euler: can't drink that much coffee, nor black tea either
[02:13] antiversez Resident: don't mix too much honey
[02:13] antiversez Resident: no coffee either
[02:13] Wol Euler: I did put in quite a lot of sugar on the first day, because I hadn't eaten anything and was worried about hypoglaucoma
[02:13] Wol Euler: (under-sugered)
[02:14] antiversez Resident: just drink, and drink and drink, water
[02:14] Wol Euler: mostly, yes :)
[02:14] antiversez Resident: flush
[02:14] Wol Euler: oh it's flushing all right :) heheheheh
[02:14] antiversez Resident: hehe
[02:14] antiversez Resident: hey wol
[02:14] Wol Euler: mmm?

[02:14] antiversez Resident: I have to go
[02:15] Wol Euler: okay, have a great weekend. nice meeting you.
[02:15] antiversez Resident: it was a pleasure meeting you
[02:15] antiversez Resident: hope you become well
[02:15] Wol Euler: we meet here 4x daily, every day; I am on 1am on fri sat sun, and most 1pm's
[02:15] Wol Euler: thank you! I hope so too.
[02:15] antiversez Resident: well wol, we have met before
[02:15] Wol Euler: of course :)
[02:16] Wol Euler: but the first rule of virtuality is that you play what you are given as real :)
[02:16] Wol Euler smiles.
[02:16] antiversez Resident: whatever you feel hon
[02:16] Wol Euler: today you are antiverse1, that's fine :)

[02:16] Wol Euler: hello jasteen
[02:17] Jasteen Resident: Hello Wol :)
[02:17] Wol Euler: hvae you been here before?
[02:17] Jasteen Resident: once yes, with Tess :)
[02:17] Wol Euler: oh, right, I remeber you now
[02:17] Wol Euler: long time ago :)
[02:18] Jasteen Resident: ah, ha I heard here have something on 7 oclock....
[02:18] Jasteen Resident: but I couldn't on the time
[02:18] Wol Euler nods.
[02:18] Wol Euler: well, there are meetings every six hours
[02:18] Wol Euler: some better atttended than others, obviously
[02:19] Wol Euler: I'm afraid you've come at a bad time, I have to leave.
[02:19] Wol Euler: boxy seems to be asleep, everyone else has gone :(
[02:19] Jasteen Resident: oh, ok, I gonna walk around here
[02:19] Wol Euler: nice to see you again, though, and do come back!
[02:19] Jasteen Resident: thank you Wol :) snice to see you too
