The Guardian for this meeting was Wol. The comments are by No Self.

Agatha Macbeth: Guten morgen mein schatz
Wol Euler: hallo liebchen
Wol Euler: schön dich wieder zu sehen!
Agatha Macbeth: Echt :)
Wol Euler: nice stripes
Agatha Macbeth: Danke
Agatha Macbeth: Oh stripey yes
Wol Euler: looks like black salmon sashimi
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Wol Euler is hungry.
Agatha Macbeth: Is that good?
Wol Euler: everything looks like food when one is hungry,
Agatha Macbeth: So eat something
Wol Euler: good idea! back in a bit
Agatha Macbeth: Yay

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: Ah better
Wol Euler: wlcome back
Agatha Macbeth: TY
Agatha Macbeth: You had a grey face
Wol Euler: oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: So much for SSA and no more grey avs
Wol Euler: yep
Wol Euler: like Windows, it works great when it works, and is unfixable when it doesn't
Agatha Macbeth: Ha

Wol Euler: there's no "rebake" any more.
Wol Euler: because the server knows best
Wol Euler: even when it doesn't

Agatha Macbeth: Well you can tax refresh, but it never seems to do much
Wol Euler: perhaps the base rate is too low?
Agatha Macbeth: Base rate?
Agatha Macbeth: Mine you mean?
Wol Euler: taxation
Agatha Macbeth: Sorry was that a joke?
Wol Euler: [01:18] Agatha Macbeth: Well you can tax refresh, but it never seems to do much
Agatha Macbeth: Or are you serious?
Agatha Macbeth: Tech stuff isn't my strong point
Wol Euler points to the word "tax"
Wol Euler: or is that some new usage that I don't know`
Wol Euler: ?
Agatha Macbeth: I get more like Aph every day
Wol Euler: hehehehhe
Wol Euler: it's contagious
Agatha Macbeth: No, in FS
Agatha Macbeth: You can R click on yourself and it should come up
Wol Euler: I'm being silly about what I assume is a typo, unless there's a sense of the verb "tax" which means "to try"
Agatha Macbeth: R Click/Apperance/Tax refresh
Wol Euler: I know what Refresh used to be :)

Agatha Macbeth: Well in theory I think it acheives the same result
Agatha Macbeth: *In theory*
Wol Euler: how odd, that's not in my popup menu
Agatha Macbeth: But in my experience it doesn't seem to do much
Agatha Macbeth: Really?
Wol Euler: wzhen I right-click on myself and choose "appearance" I get two options: "edit outfit" and "edit shape"
Wol Euler: ah, you are using the newest version
Agatha Macbeth: Nothing on top?
Wol Euler: I'm still in 4.6.1
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Wol Euler: that must be it
Agatha Macbeth: How do you have FS set up?
Wol Euler: hello Visitor
Agatha Macbeth: Hello
Wol Euler: plain vanilla, I would say, except for a few personal settings
Agatha Macbeth: Do you have it on the Phoenix layout tho?
Wol Euler: I'm not sure what that means. It does look like Phoenix did
Agatha Macbeth: Must be then
Agatha Macbeth: So I don't get why you can't see it
Wol Euler tries again. "Hello, Visitor."
Agatha Macbeth: Ah well
Agatha Macbeth: Fixed now anyway
Wol Euler: good :)
Wol Euler: so, how's Aggers? Done any good gardening lately?
Wol Euler: and off he goes without ever appearing to notice either of us. Ah well.
Agatha Macbeth: Sorry, talking to the postman
Wol Euler: ooooh err
Agatha Macbeth: No he's not from Somerset
Agatha Macbeth: Has our friend left?

--BELL--

Agatha Macbeth: I somehow got the impression he didn't speak English
Wol Euler: possible
Wol Euler: but since his profile was entirely blank and he didn't even attempt to communicate, we'll never know. Perhaps he was just an oblivious dick?`
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: At least he wasn't a griefer
Wol Euler: true
Wol Euler: small mercies, and all that
Agatha Macbeth: And you don't need to edit him :p
Wol Euler: http://www.amazon.com/Studio-Banana-...dp/B00B4S6SLW/
Wol Euler: I will rename him though
Agatha Macbeth: To Oblivious Dick? :p
Wol Euler: yep
Wol Euler: Oblivious Richard, perhaps
Agatha Macbeth: Oh you have on of those?
Agatha Macbeth: The pillow I mean

Wol Euler: heh, reminds me. Like most American things that could be used by children, WoW has profanity filters in place
Wol Euler: in chat they can be disabled (by adults), but they apply to naming
Wol Euler: I tried to rename my pet hawk to "dickie", but this was disallowed
Agatha Macbeth: No 'f*ing orcs' then?
Wol Euler: because "dick" is a rude word
Wol Euler shrugs.
Agatha Macbeth: Not if it's somebody's name!
Wol Euler: oh yes, even then
Wol Euler: DIck is not a valid name
Wol Euler: in WoW
Wol Euler shrugs again.
Agatha Macbeth: What about Dick van Dyke?
Wol Euler: he'd never have been a wow player
Agatha Macbeth: Is he still alive?
Wol Euler: dunno
Agatha Macbeth: It's a jolly oliday wiv Mary

Agatha Macbeth: God I can remember him with Mary Tyler Moore
Wol Euler: wikipedia says he's still alive
Wol Euler: aged 88
Agatha Macbeth: Wow
Wol Euler: yeah, the original black-and-white DvD Show
Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
Agatha Macbeth: And Rhoda
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: I suppose you're reading his life story now
Wol Euler: yep
Wol Euler: sorry :)
Wol Euler smacks her wrist.
Agatha Macbeth: My dear oh so predictable Wollie ♥
Wol Euler: heheheheh
Wol Euler: <- easily distracted

Agatha Macbeth: Have you seen FC or Star recently?
Wol Euler: not in a while, no
Agatha Macbeth: Just wondering if everything is alright
Wol Euler: Fc was inworld on the 13th
Agatha Macbeth: With the ____ situation
Wol Euler: three days ago
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah good
Wol Euler: **** rename that *****
Wol Euler: (note to myself)
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: And don't say ____ ;-)

--BELL--

Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth: Hope QT made the gym this morning
Wol Euler: heheh
Wol Euler: he seems to be persevering, which is admirable
Agatha Macbeth: Glad to hear it
Agatha Macbeth: Will do him good
Wol Euler: agreed

Wol Euler: so, how's Aggers. Done any good gardening lately?
Agatha Macbeth: Oh it never ends this time of year
Agatha Macbeth: At least the weather's mostly good
Agatha Macbeth: It's when it never stops raining and you can't get out to do it it's a pain
Agatha Macbeth: You're lucky in that respect
Wol Euler: no gardening?
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Unless you have a window box or something
Wol Euler: I had a few potted trees on the balcony but they died
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: Suppose you forgot to water them
Wol Euler: perhaps
Wol Euler smiles.
Agatha Macbeth pokes you

Agatha Macbeth: Done your meditating this morning?
Wol Euler: mmhmm
Wol Euler: but haven't yet made the daily page
Wol Euler: how about you? done yours?
Agatha Macbeth: 'Hold the front page'
Agatha Macbeth: Nah
Agatha Macbeth: Can't be arsed
Agatha Macbeth: I prefer to be doing something than doing nothing
Wol Euler: so do a particular something and write about it
Wol Euler: the 99 Days doesn'T have to be about meditation
Agatha Macbeth: Berti's are godd and when we do it with Liz, but no fun doing it alone
Wol Euler: Storm is using his days to read a book
Agatha Macbeth: Godd? good*
Wol Euler: Xira is painting
Agatha Macbeth: Chacun a son gout

Wol Euler: the point is : do something.
Wol Euler: or not

Agatha Macbeth: I am that's the point
Wol Euler: but you seemed at one point to want to join us

--BELL--

Wol Euler: try the 99 Days as a way to change your attitude to gardening
Wol Euler: try gardening every morning for 15 minutes, working mindfully and carefully, considering what you do.
Agatha Macbeth: I have to consider what i do anyway, so I don't chop my feet off or anything
Wol Euler: heheh
Agatha Macbeth: I'm a clumsy bugger at he best of times
Agatha Macbeth: God Mira has a notice fetish
Wol Euler grins.
Agatha Macbeth: That's a lovely dress btw
Wol Euler: thank you! it was even fairly cheap.
Agatha Macbeth: Reminds me of a sun lounger we used to have
Wol Euler: :-P
Agatha Macbeth: TY
Agatha Macbeth: That kind of print
Wol Euler: yes, It's definitely a period piece, isn't it?
Wol Euler: that was why I chose it actually
Agatha Macbeth: Vibrant I would call it
Wol Euler: (this particular pattern)
Agatha Macbeth rubs your shoulders
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: I am going to find out how to make alphas, and make one of my own for this, to see if I can get the legs to look better
Wol Euler: (when sitting)
Agatha Macbeth: Oh good idea
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe Sun would know?
Wol Euler: hmmmmm, I could ask her. good idea
Agatha Macbeth: She's the building ace round these parts
Agatha Macbeth: Went to a couple of her classes
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler sighs.

Wol Euler: well, my dear, I had better get dressed and do my shopping before work.
Agatha Macbeth: Working today?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Wol Euler: and tomorrow
Wol Euler: presentation on Monday -- surprise
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: Good luck
Wol Euler: "we've been thinking about this project for over two years, and now we think we want to go ahead. Can you come in with a new proposal in three days? Oh, and we want to be finished building it in 2016."
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Wol Euler: yup
Agatha Macbeth: What's it for?

--BELL--

Wol Euler: a factory extension, nearly doubling the size
Agatha Macbeth: Groovy
Wol Euler: we already extended it once, fifteen years ago, adding around 50%
Wol Euler: it would be a simple and quite profitable job :)
Agatha Macbeth: Good lord
Agatha Macbeth: Well then go for it!
Wol Euler: we are, hence a working weekend
Agatha Macbeth: Do your damndest
Wol Euler: will do!
Wol Euler: bye for now, dear aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Take care Wolliekins
