2012.11.29 07:00 - We are our mistakes?!

The Guardian for this meeting was Storm Nordwind. The comments are by Storm Nordwind.

Yakuzza Lethecus: hey storm, good morning
Storm Nordwind: Good morning!
Yakuzza Lethecus: toying happily at your pavillion gadgets ?
Storm Nordwind: Well, I'm seeing what's in my inventory from previous years.
Yakuzza Lethecus: :)
Storm Nordwind checks the theme for the week
Storm Nordwind: I guess that's a form of "Hindsight" :)
Storm Nordwind: Anything interesting thoughts from Europe? :)
Storm Nordwind is a little out of touch
Yakuzza Lethecus: ha, i am really not a good person to ask for good thought, but i am for sure interested in hearing some :P
Storm Nordwind: Ever modest :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: na, in my case it´s true only serendipity´s sometimes
Yakuzza Lethecus: others do apply modesty pragmatically :P
Yakuzza Lethecus: i miss boxy
Storm Nordwind: Where is boxy at the moment?
Yakuzza Lethecus: i don´t know, just haven´t seen him in sl for a while
Yakuzza Lethecus: does firestorm still show somewhere when an avi last logged in ?
Storm Nordwind: I've no idea. But all viewers do if you know what to do. ;)
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind: By the way, I may have to disappear for 5 minutes at some time, to let workmen in. But workmen being as they are, they may be late! ;)
Yakuzza Lethecus: or they leave early
Storm Nordwind: Well these are paid by results. So it they choose to take longer, that's up to them.
Storm Nordwind: *if
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, well my boss bought a solar roof for his home so they initially wanted to get the work done today
Yakuzza Lethecus: due to weather reasons they left early
Storm Nordwind: Rain?
Yakuzza Lethecus: with some snowcristals
Storm Nordwind: Ah yes. I remember that stuff... wet isn't it, and falls from the sky? I'm sure I used to experience that a few years ago. ;)
Yakuzza Lethecus: you got lots of snow ?
Storm Nordwind: SNow yes. Though not yet. Some in October but curiously none this month
Storm Nordwind: Would normally have around 18cm in November

We are our mistakes?!

Storm Nordwind: Hindsight, however, is probably more than just record keeping and record browsing. :)
Storm Nordwind: I guess some conclusion needs to be reached, perhaps one that potentially changes future behavior.
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, ideally
Storm Nordwind: A sort of "If I'd have known then what I know now, I would have done things differently."
Yakuzza Lethecus: a bit tricky since we didn´t only do mistakes, we are our mistakes
Storm Nordwind: Though ... and here's a point ... is it possible to have hindsight without having regret? I would say yes, but others may differ.
Storm Nordwind: We are our mistakes?! That's rather pessimistic isn't it? Why do you say that?
Yakuzza Lethecus: more like we are what we are, the things i might be proud of and the things i have screwed up
Yakuzza Lethecus: how fixed on the own acts should one be
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind: Well it's one thing to know at the time that you're doing the wrong thing and making a mistake. It's quite another to do the best you can at the time, with the best knowledge you have at that time, and it turns out to be a mistake. In the second case, is it really a mistake? You did your best.
Yakuzza Lethecus: i don´t believe in referential integrity in the human brain
Yakuzza Lethecus: i do believe that most ppl do mistakes constantly even tho they should know better
Storm Nordwind: That's not my personal experience :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey luci
Storm Nordwind: Hi Luci :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: tasks are often habitual, so as soon as tasks are not concious even concious knowledge doesn´t let you flip all ur habits
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Storm, Yakuzza
Storm Nordwind: Aren't habits are short cuts though, just to help you do things more efficiently.?
Yakuzza Lethecus: sure, maybe i am too habitual :)
Storm Nordwind: if you think so, simply break your routine. :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: doesn´t mean i am efficiant tho :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey san
Storm Nordwind waves to san
Santoshima Resident: good morning
Storm Nordwind: Good morning :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning and good coffee/tea for you i hope
Santoshima Resident: green tea and delicious

Luci's lag.

Lucinda Lavender: hi San...I am testing how slow my laptop is working by exploring here
Santoshima Resident: oh
Lucinda Lavender: things seem to work ok...
Santoshima Resident: how is going?
Santoshima Resident: sorry to be late ~ please continue
Storm Nordwind: You may find testing laptop speed in SL is sometimes misleading, especially as you are often dependent of things you can't affect, like server speeds and internet connections.
Santoshima Resident: does size of inventory also affect?
Lucinda Lavender: thanks Storm...yes
Storm Nordwind: It may at first san. But not after you're ensconced here :)
Lucinda Lavender: I did a restart for the computer this morning...sl seems to work well enough...the problems were outside sl I guess
Santoshima Resident: hmm ... thought the lag experienced was from an excess of tutus in stock
Storm Nordwind grins
Lucinda Lavender: Luci could take one off your hands:)
Storm Nordwind promises not to wear one
Lucinda Lavender: always have wanted a tutu
Santoshima Resident: alas, all the great clothing items are non-transferrable
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Santoshima Resident: { i'll check }
Santoshima Resident: coming your way luci :)
Lucinda Lavender: :))grinning excitedly!!
--BELL--
Santoshima Resident: go wild
Lucinda Lavender: problem is my arrow cursor only works fast in certain fields...cannot seem to open the message sent
Lucinda Lavender: but can type fine here
Lucinda Lavender: I have a lot of photos on my desktop could that be a problem
Storm Nordwind: Are you using a mouse or touchscreen?
Lucinda Lavender: laptop, mac, with a touch pad
Lucinda Lavender: cannot read sans messages because the appear behind my chat field window
Lucinda Lavender: arrow has white around it
Santoshima Resident: just move the chat window
Santoshima Resident: ?
Lucinda Lavender: won't move for me
Lucinda Lavender: no dragging
Lucinda Lavender: arrow has that white rim around it
Lucinda Lavender: lets see if I can stand
Lucinda Lavender: not working yet
Lucinda Lavender: sorry to interrupt with my discussion of computer detail...do carry on about habit...
Santoshima Resident: brb
Lucinda Lavender: will just have to go anyway;(
Storm Nordwind: :(
Lucinda Lavender: I guess when I turn my computer off it may make me dissapear:)
Lucinda Lavender: by for now dears:)
Storm Nordwind waves
Lucinda Lavender: cannot even leave
Santoshima Resident: ! easy decision then
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Storm Nordwind: Your loss is our gain :)
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Lucinda Lavender: do photots on the desktop drain it
Lucinda Lavender: ?
Storm Nordwind knows nothing about macs
Lucinda Lavender: brb
Yakuzza Lethecus: sadly i don´t either, i got to print some photos for someone, bye for now
Santoshima Resident: bye Yaku
Santoshima Resident: what is your draw distance set at luci?
Storm Nordwind: good point
Lucinda Lavender: hi back
Santoshima Resident: also check cache for whatever viewer you're using, and empty it (i think that helps, but could be wrong)
Storm Nordwind: If your machine is slow, make sure your draw distance is no higher than 64m
--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: can only type in this field...thanks storm
