2015.02.25 19:00 - just had a great idea...

The Guardian for this meeting was Bleu Oleander. The comments are by Bleu Oleander.

Lucinda Lavender: 's current display-name is "Luci".
Bleu Oleander: 's current display-name is "Bleu".
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Bleu, feeling good enough:)...
Bleu Oleander: that's good :)
Lucinda Lavender: took the day off to rest up. Tomorrow too.the usual stuff you get with preschoolers.
Bleu Oleander: ah
Lucinda Lavender: I like that you had so many ideas for the future:)
Bleu Oleander: fun to think about
Lucinda Lavender: and spare pavillions etc. that is in inspiring.
Bleu Oleander: yes i've designed some fun ones
Bleu Oleander: I think it would be fun to get some people involved in designing a new space
Lucinda Lavender: have you used them before?
Bleu Oleander: no
Lucinda Lavender: ah. Well it would be fun to see them.
Bleu Oleander: I think once the land is cleared it will inspire
Bleu Oleander: we have a few builders in the group I think who could design something
Lucinda Lavender: I always found that it was hard to see much in the space box.
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bleu Oleander: small space
Lucinda Lavender: being able to see is important to me.
Bleu Oleander: to me also
Lucinda Lavender: But i liked the idea of the box.
Bleu Oleander: yes
Lucinda Lavender: I would mostly go there to change clothes:)
Bleu Oleander: :)
Bleu Oleander: need a space for that :)
Lucinda Lavender: yes!
Lucinda Lavender: I have been reading today...a book called Mindsight. Have you heard of it?
Bleu Oleander: Dan Siegel?
Lucinda Lavender: by Daniel Siegel.MD
Bleu Oleander: yes I have and his newer book also
Lucinda Lavender: A book about the science of personal transformation
Bleu Oleander: we took our group to meet him in LA a few years ago
Lucinda Lavender: ah! great! So great to hear!
Bleu Oleander: I like his ideas

--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: I have been taking notes...it seems very interesting. I like the idea of working towards reflection.
Bleu Oleander: yes
Lucinda Lavender: only 3 chapters in tho so much to learn.
Bleu Oleander: he has an interesting way of describing the "core"
Bleu Oleander: self-states
Lucinda Lavender: ok. I will watch for that.
Bleu Oleander: beneath the self states a core, "suchness" the being that underlies the activity of our self states
Lucinda Lavender: I went to the doctor today and was reading it as I waited for the person to come in. When she did she asked what I was reading...I was just reading about how he was drawn to understanding peoples stories and their feelings which was not part of the usual doctor regimen.
Bleu Oleander: as we grow in our ability to know ourselves, we become receptive to knowing each other
Lucinda Lavender: that is fascinating to me
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bleu Oleander: his newer book is the Mindful Brain
Lucinda Lavender: ok. I will look for that next!
Bleu Oleander: hey Steve
stevenaia Michinaga: greetings
Lucinda Lavender: Hi Steve!
stevenaia Michinaga: how are you feeling Luci/
Lucinda Lavender: we did not claim it yet but are talking about a book I am reading. Just have a cold...no strep which is good:)
Lucinda Lavender: i am resting today and tomorrow.
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Lucinda Lavender: I take inhalers for my cough and tend to try to work to hard because they rev me up:)
Lucinda Lavender: so working towards rest!
Bleu Oleander: :)
Lucinda Lavender: could we save and claim everything discussed since Bleu arrived? even tho it is past?
Bleu Oleander: yes
Lucinda Lavender: I never have tried that when it goes back a bit
Bleu Oleander: I can claim if you like
Lucinda Lavender: great!
Bleu Oleander: ok
stevenaia Michinaga: I already have, the convesation is there from the begining
Lucinda Lavender: it started a little early
Bleu Oleander: oh sorry
Lucinda Lavender: oh cool!
stevenaia Michinaga: it starts recording when you arrive, not from when you claim it
Lucinda Lavender: can you claim before the hour?
stevenaia Michinaga: I think so
Lucinda Lavender: the official start without messing with the time posted at the wiki?
stevenaia Michinaga: you can alway edit the log title
stevenaia Michinaga: correct the time
Bleu Oleander: its all in your computer too
stevenaia Michinaga: I think there was a 6 hour log one year, a very log session
Lucinda Lavender: :))
stevenaia Michinaga: it keep recording as long as there is a guardian here
Bleu Oleander: wow can't imagine sitting at my computer that long
stevenaia Michinaga: a bit of Wol magic
Lucinda Lavender: :)
stevenaia Michinaga: it was one the anniverary party days
Bleu Oleander: ah
Lucinda Lavender: I think I remember sort of
stevenaia Michinaga: people coming and going all day
Lucinda Lavender: I like the pab shirt Bleu
Bleu Oleander: want one?
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, do they come in colors?
Bleu Oleander: I just have Black and White
Lucinda Lavender: since getting a new avatar and dress...I find it is hard to dress this person. only certain clothes work. it is mesh
Lucinda Lavender: if I put it on I fear I may be dissapearing in some way. Lets see...
Bleu Oleander: ah yes, I'm not meshified yet :)
Bleu Oleander: well you didn't disappear so that's good
Lucinda Lavender: Yay it worked!
Lucinda Lavender: I tried other outfits and kind of had trouble making all the alphas work.

--BELL--
Lucinda Lavender: this is perfect
Bleu Oleander: sometimes you have to re-order the alpha layers
Lucinda Lavender: ah
stevenaia Michinaga: what does that mean?
Bleu Oleander: when you edit your outfit
Bleu Oleander: you can re-order the parts
stevenaia Michinaga: sox on first?
Lucinda Lavender: get a new one or but them on in a sequence?
Bleu Oleander: so is your whole avatar mesh Luci?
Lucinda Lavender: I will check
stevenaia Michinaga: how can you check?
Lucinda Lavender: i am looking in the inventory...
Bleu Oleander: I think the new avatars that sl gives you to start are mesh now
Lucinda Lavender: it has a chat.unit .dress. Alpha
Lucinda Lavender: not sure hwat that means
Bleu Oleander: me either :)
Lucinda Lavender: ok:)
stevenaia Michinaga: well it;s more than I understand
Bleu Oleander: I really haven't tried to understand mesh yet ... don't really see a need to
Lucinda Lavender: i wonder if you can get a non mesh one?
Lucinda Lavender: avatar
Bleu Oleander: I think you can convert it
stevenaia Michinaga: I remember years ago when it came out and how some were so excited
Lucinda Lavender: ah!
Bleu Oleander: just take off all the alpha layers and put an old shape on and skin
Lucinda Lavender: I ok i see sort of
Bleu Oleander: I did that when we all got alts recently
Lucinda Lavender: alpha layers of the body?
Bleu Oleander: I think so
Bleu Oleander: I think the mesh is covering the "bones" of the avatar
Bleu Oleander: hi Para :)
Lucinda Lavender: I have a shape...
Lucinda Lavender: and a skin
stevenaia Michinaga: hi Para
Lucinda Lavender: HI Para!
Paradise Tennant: smiles hi everyone :))

Bleu Oleander: are any of you taking any of the PaB land?
Paradise Tennant: shakes her head
Lucinda Lavender: I had not decided yet am kind of intriqued
stevenaia Michinaga: no, I will be a happy squatter
Lucinda Lavender: intrigued
Bleu Oleander: sounds like Adams has decided not to
Lucinda Lavender: ah but the museum will be here?
Bleu Oleander: he said no in an email today
Bleu Oleander: he's going to close it
Lucinda Lavender: oh...i had not read that
Lucinda Lavender: yet
Bleu Oleander: just this afternoon a flurry of emails :)

--BELL--
Paradise Tennant: smiles .. must have been a sad decision for him he has put an impressive amount of work in it.
stevenaia Michinaga: can you jsut save such a creation to your inventory?
Bleu Oleander: yes ... very hard to take things apart when you've worked on them so long
Paradise Tennant: yes
Bleu Oleander: you can
Bleu Oleander: putting it in a rezzer
Bleu Oleander: but that is time consuming in a big build
Bleu Oleander: I think Storm built it
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Bleu Oleander: so I'm thinking he'll save it
Paradise Tennant: going to be a transition and new beginning ..
Bleu Oleander: yes :)
Lucinda Lavender: like looking out at the garden before it is planted
Paradise Tennant: yes .. change is the cycle of life
Bleu Oleander: indeed
Lucinda Lavender: well I have just caught up with the emails...
Paradise Tennant: any one been dreaming lately ?

Paradise Tennant: oh just had a great idea
Lucinda Lavender: not so much...what is that idea?
stevenaia Michinaga: ...listens
Paradise Tennant: we should all do up poems of thanks .. to the PAB founders .. and present it to them in a little book ..
Bleu Oleander: nice!
Bleu Oleander: a virtual book?
Lucinda Lavender: that would be lovely
Paradise Tennant: something that touches on our memories .. and appreciation
Bleu Oleander: it would be a nice rl book
Paradise Tennant: yes could do both
Lucinda Lavender: it can be so easy to create books these days
Bleu Oleander: pics of our avatars with something written
Paradise Tennant: yes !
stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like an interesting project
Bleu Oleander: blurb
Paradise Tennant: yes little bio .. how they came to be part of pab what it has meant to them
stevenaia Michinaga: like the picture of Adams as the scribe
Lucinda Lavender: exactly blurb. my daughters wedding had a wonderful blurb book made by her new father in law who is a photographer and it has meant so much
Bleu Oleander: http://lp.blurb.com/gbrand/?ce=us_mi...n=all_standard
Paradise Tennant: A book of thanks !
Bleu Oleander: and memories
Lucinda Lavender: great idea!
Paradise Tennant: thanks bleu
Lucinda Lavender: because it does feel real here
Lucinda Lavender: well for me anyway
Paradise Tennant: shall I do up a note card on the idea ?
Paradise Tennant: canvass opinion
Paradise Tennant: I am not sure I have ever sent an email to the group actually

--BELL--
stevenaia Michinaga: if you get the google group's emai you can send one out to the group
Paradise Tennant: I am pretty sure I get that
Bleu Oleander: you can just reply to one of the pab emails and change the subject and erase the body of the email ...
Paradise Tennant: ok I will do up a short suggestion .. and see what the response is ..
Paradise Tennant: would be a fun and timely project
Bleu Oleander: how would we do that?
Bleu Oleander: everyone could send their photos and poems to someone who knows how to blurb a book?
Paradise Tennant: I guess you just need to lay out a format for each person's page in the book .. start with a list of the people who want to do one and then .. correlate
stevenaia Michinaga: perhaps we can compile images for the book on flicke
stevenaia Michinaga: flickr
Paradise Tennant: blurb uses word does it not ?
Bleu Oleander: not sure how it works
Paradise Tennant: can insert pic into word
Bleu Oleander: i've not done one
Bleu Oleander: do the photos need to be 300dpi?
Paradise Tennant: ok well the starting point is to see if people are interested and pull together a list of contributors
Paradise Tennant: I can work out the logistics
Paradise Tennant: would be mostly sl pics I suspect
Bleu Oleander: maybe a better link: http://www.blurb.com/
stevenaia Michinaga: I have a friend down the hall at work who can make a hardcover book that you canput images in. I don;t know how many pages he can do
Paradise Tennant: on blurb they do the hard copy for you .. just have order how many copies you want but would be nice to have an sl version too
Bleu Oleander: book camp: http://www.blurb.com/book-camp#.VO6YXbPF8ew
Lucinda Lavender: :))
Lucinda Lavender: brb
Bleu Oleander: I think people can order one if they want once you do the original
stevenaia Michinaga: it would make an interesting scrap book
Lucinda Lavender: it would
Lucinda Lavender: I will have to go soon. nice to see you all. i plan to sleep in:) maybe there will be a dream.
Paradise Tennant: we could put it on the wiki page too :)
