Yakuzza Lethecus: haven´t seen you in a while
Eos Amaterasu: HI Yaku
Eos Amaterasu: How's life being for you, Yaku?
Yakuzza Lethecus: can´t complain, life is ok, am a bit to stupid but life itself is fine
Eos Amaterasu: Life is outsmarting you?
Yakuzza Lethecus: yes, in a way i have that feeling but that´s something i felt even before secondlife
Yakuzza Lethecus: just reappearing
Eos Amaterasu: maybe if life is smarter and communicating with us that's a good thing
Eos Amaterasu: gives just the feedback we need
Yakuzza Lethecus: mainchat is a bit uncomfortable for details
Eos Amaterasu: hmm, yes
Eos Amaterasu: Is there a "theme" for this week?
Yakuzza Lethecus: i haven´t been following up, i was in sweden last week and came back thrusday, i did not check on the mailinglist
Yakuzza Lethecus: strange chatlag
Yakuzza Lethecus: do you see this 3 times ?
Eos Amaterasu: no, I'm only seeing lines once
--BELL--
Yakuzza Lethecus: how do you sit right now ?
Eos Amaterasu: How do I "sit", or how "am I"?
Yakuzza Lethecus: how do you sit and how you are :)
Eos Amaterasu: I right click on an object to sit :-)
Yakuzza Lethecus: well actually i meant in rl :)
Eos Amaterasu: how I meditate?
Yakuzza Lethecus: well not exactly, only if you have a medationposition when going to the pavillion
Eos Amaterasu: I came across this instruction which I like: " S henpen Ö sel The Clear Light of the Buddha’s Teachings Which Benefits All Beings December 1999 – January 2000Volume 3, Number 3 The intellect cannot see that which is beyond conceptual mind,and you will never realize that which is uncreated throughcreated dharmas. If you wish to attain or realize that which isbeyond the intellect and is uncreated, then scrutinize your mind and strip awareness naked" - Tilopa, from http://www.scribd.com/doc/2551906/Ti...tan-Meditation
Yakuzza Lethecus: or you sit at ur laptop like you would usually sit and use it ?
Eos Amaterasu: In these 90 seconds I sit at my seat by the computer
Eos Amaterasu: otherwise in RL I sit on a cushion, facing out the French door windows
Yakuzza Lethecus: oh, eos in paris ?
Eos Amaterasu: heh heh
Eos Amaterasu: I like the pattern of not trying to achieve anything, but rather just noting the ways mind fills itself, and letting those let be dropped naturally
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey eliza
Eliza Madrigal: 's current display-name is "Eliza".
Eos Amaterasu: hi eliza
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Eos, Yaku :)
Eliza Madrigal: quiet Friday.... not sure if I am seen (cloud to myself today - hard time rezzing)
Eos Amaterasu: (I will have to leave in 5 mins)
Eos Amaterasu: You are not a cloud (except for part of your head :-)
Eliza Madrigal: Still in paradise?
Eliza Madrigal: haha :)
Eliza Madrigal: ty for the note Yaku
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Aggers :)
Agatha Macbeth: Evening all
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey cloudy aga
Eos Amaterasu: I am back in Nova Scotia after just having been in California, and Yosemite Valley there
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Ags
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Agatha Macbeth: No Wollie?
Yakuzza Lethecus: well just came online
Agatha Macbeth: Oh she came on ha
Eos Amaterasu: I brought back a snowglobe with Yosemite in it :-)
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eos Amaterasu: virtual Yosemite in the palm of my hand
Agatha Macbeth: I remember Snowglobe
Eos Amaterasu: Yosemite is beyond awesome - you'all must visit at least once in your life
Eliza Madrigal: would love to
Eliza Madrigal: share some highlights?
Eos Amaterasu: the Mariposa Grove of sequoias (giant Redwoods) up to 2000 years old
Agatha Macbeth: Nice
Wol Euler: evening all, sorry I'm late
Eliza Madrigal: amazing world
Eliza Madrigal waves Hello to Wol
Agatha Macbeth: Here's our girl
Eos Amaterasu: the scale of the valley, with very high peaks vertically rising, with some waterfalls coming down
Eos Amaterasu: Hi Wol
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey wol
Eos Amaterasu: sry,must leave....
Eliza Madrigal: okay Eos, good to see you
Wol Euler: bye eos, take care
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Eos, hug a few sequoias
Yakuzza Lethecus: thx for visiting
Eliza Madrigal: is certainly on the bucket list... communing with the ancient sequoias
--BELL--
Agatha Macbeth: Working late?
Wol Euler: yeah
Wol Euler: the competitions
Agatha Macbeth: Thought a much
Wol Euler: months to go but already time feels short
Agatha Macbeth: +s
Agatha Macbeth: Never pondered what time feels like
Wol Euler: well, it#s kinda squishy around the middle
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Wol Euler: but the edges are firm, even sharp sometimes
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Eliza Madrigal: was going to say like crystals...
Wol Euler: mmmm, yes
Eliza Madrigal: had been reading an article before I got here actually
Wol Euler listens.
Agatha Macbeth: ?
Eliza Madrigal: just that there is a scientist proposing that view of time... very upsetting to previous thinking I guess....
Eliza Madrigal: didn't get through it all yet :)
Eliza Madrigal: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/20...n%252Bfacebook
Agatha Macbeth: Those are the kind I like
Eliza Madrigal: upsetting sort?
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: Shake em up
Eliza Madrigal: ox carts toppling
Agatha Macbeth: Stops complacency
Eliza Madrigal: certainly is fun to think about
Agatha Macbeth grins
Agatha Macbeth: Lovely dress btw
Agatha Macbeth: Shanghai Liz
Wol Euler: yes, I thought so as I arrived :)
Wol Euler: fascinating article, I'll read it carefully later
Eliza Madrigal: :) would like to see myself... glad to know I'm dressed at least
Arisia Vita: 's current display-name is "Ari".
Arisia Vita: greetings all
Wol Euler: hello ari
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey ari
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Ari
Wol Euler: happy friday
Agatha Macbeth: You can't see yourself?
Arisia Vita: ty, same to you all
Yakuzza Lethecus: onigokko
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Ari dear
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Eliza Madrigal: can't... difficult time signing on too... hope not due to lightning the other day
Yakuzza Lethecus: stop
Agatha Macbeth: Actually it does seem laggy here, last night too
Eliza Madrigal: I was signing on elsewhere and tried several times... so am sure it is just me
Eliza Madrigal: was doing some file cleaning too so hopefully didn't delete bridge components that were necessary
Agatha Macbeth: Well I see you perfectly
Wol Euler: that shouldn't be a problem, the bridge *should* recreate itself
Agatha Macbeth: A bridge too far?
Wol Euler: over troubled networks, perhaps
Eliza Madrigal: pesky files... hard to know which are "must haves" or throw ins
Agatha Macbeth pokes Wol
Wol Euler: heheh
Agatha Macbeth: What does the bridge actually *do*?
Eliza Madrigal: communicates with something?
Wol Euler: the truth? I have no real idea
Agatha Macbeth: Really? Wow
Agatha Macbeth: I never heard you say that before! :p
Wol Euler: it enables some scripting and database-relation abilities in Firestorm that aren't inthe standard Lab set, but what those are in detail I do not know
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: So you do know, Ms Modest
Eliza Madrigal: lol
Wol Euler: bridge as in "crossing over gaps in the Lab feature set"
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: well, "know" is a large and flexible term
Eliza Madrigal: you don't have to not know just to fit in Wol :P
Agatha Macbeth: Knowing LL there are probably a few of those
Agatha Macbeth: Bridging gaps is an interesting concept
Wol Euler nods.
Eliza Madrigal: "thoughts as things"
Eliza Madrigal: bridges: thoughts> words> metaphors
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: somebody said at the last retreat, either Eos or Pema, that one could choose whether to be a bridge or a doormat :) both get walked on but there is a great difference
Eliza Madrigal: I remember that!
Eliza Madrigal: but had forgotten it until now
Agatha Macbeth: Probably Pema :)
Eliza Madrigal: I think it was
Wol Euler: good :) as I said it I thought "what a wierd idea, perhaps I dreamt it" :))))
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds like him
Eliza Madrigal: good ears Aggers ^^
Agatha Macbeth: Nanu nanu
Eliza Madrigal: hah
Wol Euler chuckles.
Eliza Madrigal: is quite true... somehow "laying down one's life" comes to mind... and what that means in those two contexts...
Eliza Madrigal: dignity of service vs fearful submission
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, yes
Agatha Macbeth: Or laying down the law
--BELL--
Arisia Vita: welcome Arch
Archmage Atlantis: 's current display-name is "Arch".
Agatha Macbeth: YAY
Wol Euler: hello Arch, lovely to see you again. Happy Friday.
Archmage Atlantis: The world is in turmoil
Agatha Macbeth: Great to see you again
Eliza Madrigal: Hi Arch, nice to see you - microphone is on
Archmage Atlantis: Are you ready to stand
Arisia Vita: turmoil?
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey arch
Agatha Macbeth: Isn't the world always in turmoil?
Wol Euler listens.
Archmage Atlantis: Yes, Agatha
Archmage Atlantis: but not like it is now
Wol Euler: what is happening, Arch? What is different?
Archmage Atlantis: I haven't been able to fiigure out how to turn the microphone off
Eliza Madrigal: oh :( , well, as long as you know
Archmage Atlantis: I've delayed coming back
Yakuzza Lethecus: which viewer ?
Agatha Macbeth: Yes, we missed you
Wol Euler: we did
Archmage Atlantis: I delivered the msg
Archmage Atlantis: I go
Wol Euler smiles.
Yakuzza Lethecus: gone :(
Wol Euler: gnomic as ever.
Agatha Macbeth: Well I'm glad he's okay
Wol Euler nods.
Eliza Madrigal: hm
Agatha Macbeth: (Okay by Arch standrads at least)
Wol Euler: right :)
Agatha Macbeth: (and standards too)
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, is the world in any more turmoil than normal?
Wol Euler: I haven't seen the news today
Agatha Macbeth: Oh boy
Agatha Macbeth: :p
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Arisia Vita: I'm not sure the news is the best measure of the world's true state.
Eliza Madrigal nods Ari
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe there are some holes in Blackburn?
Wol Euler: well, I haven't seen the olds either
Arisia Vita: pay attention to the in-betweens :)
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Eliza Madrigal: we're in this time... not so useful to compare perhaps, though almost irresistable
Wol Euler nods.
Eliza Madrigal: at least history can say "tried that! Next!"
Wol Euler: decline is to civilizations as gravity is to spacecraft in orbit
Wol Euler: it pulls them along and keeps them moving
Arisia Vita: much of what we see as the world's state is really a reflection of our own...
Wol Euler: true
Eliza Madrigal: not that right now isn't really interesting, things changing too fast to keep up with
Eliza Madrigal: and having to learn to accept and work with that
Eliza Madrigal: but yeah... maybe that's my own mind I'm talking about
Wol Euler: no, eliza, I think every one of us on the planet has at least one such corner of not-keeping-up
Eliza Madrigal: :)
Arisia Vita: speaking of things moving quickly...I must be off to another meeting...it was great being with you all-made my world seem quite nice...ty
Agatha Macbeth: No keepy uppy
Wol Euler: even if it's that the speed of turnover in celebrities seems to have declined to a few hours
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Ari, be blue
Arisia Vita: hope to see you all again soon
Wol Euler: bye ari, take care
Arisia Vita: the blue of a happy sky
Eliza Madrigal: bye Ari :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: thx for comming ari
Arisia Vita: my pleasure
Eliza Madrigal: maybe that's why people can't find, much less know, themselves... themselves running too far ahead.... :)
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: all afraid that our fifteen minutes were actually seconds, and are already finished
Agatha Macbeth: Fifteen seconds of fame...must be inflation
Eliza Madrigal: hehe - ego inflation
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Some don't need that!
Agatha Macbeth: The exact opposite might help in fact
Eliza Madrigal: might...
Eliza Madrigal hums a tune... "let's get deflated..."
Eliza Madrigal giggles
Wol Euler: I hear Chet Baker singing that
Agatha Macbeth makes a farting noise as the air runs out
Agatha Macbeth: We're on the road to nowhere
Eliza Madrigal: time after time
Eliza Madrigal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nchEXBimNlg
Wol Euler: I hear David Byrne singing that :)
Agatha Macbeth: He did
--BELL--
Eliza Madrigal: :))
Eliza Madrigal didn't know who Chet Baker was... always learn something here, even on Fridays :)
Eliza Madrigal: have to go, though.... hugs
Agatha Macbeth: Okay next question...who took the ring?
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Liz
Eliza Madrigal: ring?
Wol Euler: goodnight, dear eliza, take care
Agatha Macbeth: It's gone
Eliza Madrigal: which? Boxy's? That's here
Agatha Macbeth: Huh?
Agatha Macbeth: I can't see it
Wol Euler wonders what on earth Aggers is talking about
Eliza Madrigal smiles
Eliza Madrigal: you are surrounded by it
Agatha Macbeth: The red ring isn't there
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye eliza
Wol Euler: yes it is :) very pale right now, but definitely here
Yakuzza Lethecus: onigokko
Wol Euler: I
Agatha Macbeth: It came back
Wol Euler: I'm sitting on it (apart from the onigokko)
Eliza Madrigal: :) bye lovely people
Agatha Macbeth: <3
Agatha Macbeth: I'm too slow for this tonight
Yakuzza Lethecus: stop
Agatha Macbeth: I see it now, but faint
Wol Euler: yeppers
Agatha Macbeth: During the pause I couldn't see it at all
Wol Euler: odd .....
Yakuzza Lethecus: seems none of the features except accelerating is working
Agatha Macbeth: That is truly odd
Yakuzza Lethecus: onigokko
Yakuzza Lethecus: stop
Agatha Macbeth: The magic roundabout
Wol Euler yawns and nods
Agatha Macbeth: I didn't say time for bed!
Agatha Macbeth: Boing
Wol Euler: just yawning
Yakuzza Lethecus: but i think it is time for bed
Agatha Macbeth: Schlaf gut Yaku
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: gute nacht, yaku, schlaf gut
Yakuzza Lethecus: sleep well you two, at some point
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: it won't be long
Wol Euler: as the dwarf said to teh actress
Agatha Macbeth: Oh will be a while for me yet :p
Agatha Macbeth looks sideways
Wol Euler giggles.
Agatha Macbeth: I do love that hair
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: I put it back on for you
Agatha Macbeth: Thank you <3
Agatha Macbeth: Shall we stop the recorder to save Yaku more work?
Wol Euler: sure :)
