    --BELL--1300
    Agatha Macbeth: 's current display-name is "Aggers".
    DR42 Resident: ηαмαѕтє
    Agatha Macbeth: Good day shameless one :p
    Agatha Macbeth: What does that nean?
    Agatha Macbeth: mean*
    DR42 Resident: It started as a jest among my fellow Unitarians, we said that one of the girls had no shame and would do anything for bacon.
    Agatha Macbeth: Bacon?
    DR42 Resident: Yes, as in fried fatty pork.
    Agatha Macbeth: Pnviously (obviously) not jewish then
    Agatha Macbeth: I think I need to throw this KB out
    DR42 Resident: Well, not kosher, in any case, nor vegitarian.
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Agatha Macbeth: Still don't get it...
    DR42 Resident: A colloquialism
    Agatha Macbeth: Must be
    DR42 Resident: "Shame" means different things in various countries, from sympathy to regret, but, in the US, "Person of no Shame" usually refers to low morals, often used to describe people in the US congress who vote for abusive and terrible laws.
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Agatha Macbeth: But then they're politicians so don't expect too much of em
    DR42 Resident: Well, they have no shame.
    Agatha Macbeth: No shame but lots of money
    --BELL--1315
    DR42 Resident: There, I changed the title. :)  (Which I promptly misread)
    Agatha Macbeth: 'Person of 3rd repute'
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh ill
    Agatha Macbeth: Got it
    Agatha Macbeth: Was wondering what the first and second were
    DR42 Resident: Ah, hard to see that it is a lower case "i"
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh looks like III
    Agatha Macbeth: As in Richard III
    DR42 Resident: Unfortunatly, with a sans serif font, an uppercase I looks just like a lower case L
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah is that what it is
    Agatha Macbeth: Hm
    Agatha Macbeth: Can't remember if FS lets you change the font
    Agatha Macbeth: Maybe not
    Maude poofs
    Agatha Macbeth: WB
    DR42 Resident: ty
    Agatha Macbeth: How do you find women get treated in SL compared to RL?
    DR42 Resident: Better. Which means poorly, but more in equity with others.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Interesting
    DR42 Resident: I think people in SL, in general are disrespectful, impolite, and even abusive. I expect that many of the females in SL who act that way are actually men in RL, but I am guessing.
    Agatha Macbeth: Strange, I don't find that at all
    DR42 Resident: Firestorm does let you change the font, but that would only effect what I see, not how you would see it.
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah, you changed it anyway
    Agatha Macbeth: (the title)
    --BELL--1330
    DR42 Resident: I actually said "Kife is but a game" in conversation today.
    DR42 Resident: Life*
    Agatha Macbeth: You must have the same keyboard as me
    Agatha Macbeth: Sera QT
    Qt Core: Hi Aga, Maude
    DR42 Resident: QT,
    Agatha Macbeth: If life's a game I wonder who's winning it?
    DR42 Resident: The gods
    Agatha Macbeth: So there's more than one?
    DR42 Resident: "Life is but a game and we are the playthings of the gods."
    Qt Core: i'm seeing only the pillars of the pavillion and tped inside it instead that just outside.... it is right ?
    DR42 Resident: Oh, yes, there are many.
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh, dunno QT
    Agatha Macbeth: I see everything fine
    DR42 Resident: QT, I have that happen if I TP from withing the Region, but end up outside if I start in another Region.
    Qt Core: ok, all in all is more airy ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Airy fairy
    DR42 Resident: I would derender much, but then I run into the pillars and such when I try to move.
    Santoshima Resident: 's current display-name is "San".
    Agatha Macbeth waves to San
    Qt Core: right clicked on a pillar everything appeared
    Qt Core: hi San
    Santoshima Resident: hi folks
    DR42 Resident wishes more people made walls and doors phantom when they built things.
    Agatha Macbeth: Are you in Firestorm QT?
    Qt Core: no
    Agatha Macbeth: Not just that then
    Agatha Macbeth: Think maybe the LL stuff hasn't caught up with the viewers yet
    DR42 Resident: Aggers, do you believe in many gods?
    Agatha Macbeth: I'm not sure I believe in any TBH
    Agatha Macbeth: But it depends on definitions as always
    DR42 Resident: Buddhism does not have a "higher" deity, but we are all gods.
    Agatha Macbeth: (You look very Eishi San)
    Agatha Macbeth: Right
    Santoshima Resident: eishi's hat
    Agatha Macbeth: What's the skirt? Vitabella?
    Santoshima Resident: sascha.frangilli / aka "queen of farts"
    Agatha Macbeth: Heheh
    Santoshima Resident: her own moniker
    Agatha Macbeth: I like that
    DR42 Resident: All the new mesh objects have a downfall, you cannot click on them to see who made it...
    Agatha Macbeth: I don't like mesh much
    Santoshima Resident: reading back ... what's TBH?
    Agatha Macbeth: To Be Honest
    Santoshima Resident: ah, fooled by the caps
    Agatha Macbeth: Me and my caps eh
    DR42 Resident: IIRC, IANAL, LOL
    Agatha Macbeth: Indeed
    Zen Arado: 's current display-name is "Zen".

    Zen Arado: and cellphone game sgetting more popular
    DR42 Resident: I had bought a number fo 3D wood puzzles there, Burrs and such.
    Zen Arado: I only play one game
    Zen Arado: scrabble
    Zen Arado: and infrequently
    Santoshima Resident: perhaps a weekly session here could be online scrabble
    Santoshima Resident: with 90 second pauses of course
    Zen Arado: I play on Facebook
    Zen Arado: but play same woman only
    Zen Arado: can't be bothered getting into it too seriously
    Zen Arado: you can play scrable in SL
    Zen Arado: I have seen it
    Zen Arado: not as good as proper game though
    DR42 Resident: There is one I have played. Unfortunatly, there are PC games that will play for you with perfect strategy.
    Zen Arado: yeh easy to 'cheat'
    DR42 Resident: And the entire official Scrabble dictionary was typed in, maybe 30 years ago.
    Zen Arado: I could never see the point of that
    Zen Arado: the computer playing for you?
    DR42 Resident: Well, I imagine it was fun for the person to develop the game.
    Zen Arado: Ioh yes
    Zen Arado: I know a man plays online checkers
    DR42 Resident: I created a program years and years ago that did crossword puzzles.
    Zen Arado: and some use a program
    --BELL--1400
    Zen Arado: it wouldn't solve cryptic ones though?
    DR42 Resident: It would run in the background, attempting to fill in words for you while you locked in specific words.
    DR42 Resident: For an easy puzzle, it would solve the entire thing, often without help or knowing what the clues even were.
    Zen Arado: I was trying to imagine the time before the internt and computers today
    Zen Arado: I would be lost
    Zen Arado: nowhere to look things up
    Zen Arado: encyclopedias?
    DR42 Resident: We had buildings back then that we would visit. They were called "Libraries"
    Zen Arado: ah yes
    Zen Arado: fogot about them
    Agatha Macbeth: I remember them
    Zen Arado: :)
    Zen Arado: I never go near one
    Agatha Macbeth: I never have the time any more
    Zen Arado: seem so old fashioned
    Zen Arado: never have anybooks you want
    Santoshima Resident: tinter-library loans possible there, zen?
    Santoshima Resident: inter
    Zen Arado: I tired that but it's useless in N.Ireland
    Zen Arado: takes them months to get anything
    DR42 Resident: I can get just about any book in any library in the state I live in without leaving home, unless it is not available to be loaned out. But I can still find where it is available near me.
    Zen Arado: I can't read hardbacks now anyway and that's what they usually have
    Zen Arado: yes seems better in us and Canada
    Zen Arado: Kindle downloads would be ideal for me
    Qt Core: time to go for me, bye all and have fun
    Zen Arado: doubt they have that yet
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care QT
