The Guardian for this meeting was Wol.

Wol Euler: hello qt
Qt Core: Hi Wol
Qt Core: is today caturday ?
Wol Euler: I guess so :)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Wol Euler: mesh avatar, I was curious ...
Wol Euler: to be honest I find the face insufficiently cat-like
Wol Euler: still a bit too human
Wol Euler: so I'm looking for mod kits to change that
Qt Core: the full cheeks, yes
Wol Euler: right
Wol Euler: it needs a pointy face
Wol Euler: and a lower forehead
Qt Core: displayed avatar rending costs, i supposed way more

--BELL--

Wol Euler: oh I haven't thought to check
Wol Euler: well, it is ten times yours, if I read that correctly
Qt Core: on my viewer i read 152`87 for yours and 28227 for mine
Qt Core: 152187
Qt Core: now, if i were to go bald... i think i'll lose 90% of my cost
Qt Core: down to 1628
Wol Euler nods.
Qt Core: strange, the last time i detached my hair i went truly bald...
Wol Euler: so I'm now over 100 times your weight
Qt Core: it may be part of the lightly bearded and mustachoed skin i switched to some months ago
Wol Euler: still, I have no real idea of that is significant or not
Wol Euler: hmmm, the lack of hair really changes your face
Wol Euler: you look harsh, almost grim now
Wol Euler: without it
Qt Core: back to normal (and at the moment is almost an exact replica of my rl messy hair)
Qt Core: if we discard a few white hair here and there...)
Qt Core: and SL is stranger and stranger, i am back to my before aspect but my cost didn't go back to 28K but is at 15.5K
Wol Euler: a mystery :)
Qt Core: do avatar need a reboot once in a while to free "whatever"
Qt Core: ?
Wol Euler: not sure about "need", but it does change things, at laest for me
Wol Euler: if one is embodied in SL, then a new body does change one's relationship to the place
Wol Euler: and to oneself
Qt Core: it may, never tried myself, it feels too rp-ish and needing an effort, too lazy
Wol Euler: oh no, that's the amazing thing about it. No effort at all, at least if you're as embodied as I am
Wol Euler: well, the effort of finding a new appearance, but not more than that

--BELL--

Qt Core: that my be the trick, i may not feel truly embodied even in rl ;-) so it is myself that o in sl, whatever the form (from this too my cube avatar)

Wol Euler: there was an Art of Being type thing a few months back, to make a new avatar (new name, new appearance) and try that
Wol Euler: did you take part?
Qt Core: no
Wol Euler: awwww :) well, you could now ...
Qt Core: nothing is really impossible (especially in sl) but i doubt i will
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: fair enough
Qt Core: about improbable but not impossible things...i have a 1 pizza bet with a friends (that i sadly lost contacts with) about what will happen first, we get in contact with aliens or i get married ;-)
Wol Euler laughs.
Qt Core: now, if i ever marry an alien...
Wol Euler: bingo.
Wol Euler: you win twice
Qt Core: it seems that the local public transport agency want to cash on expo 2015...
Qt Core: it seems i can't buy, in my area, a direct ticket to it but one to an intermediate site and then another, that will costs more than one ticket only
Wol Euler: oh?
Wol Euler: ha
Qt Core: tickets that i know exists as i bougt it elsewere
Wol Euler: one might be generous and suggest that they are trying to concentrate the load on a few routes which can have extra vehicles laid on
Qt Core: i would still use those toute, but i need to reach those...

--BELL--

Qt Core: i have to take a bus (or a tram) to reach the subway line that will take me straight to expo
Wol Euler: I'm surprised that Milandoesn't have a zoned, connected transport system
Wol Euler: in every German city I know of, your ticket is good for all vehicles on all lines within a certain range, for a certain length of time
Qt Core: it is connected, same operator, and it is zoned, the ticket i need is the U (as un urban) + 1 and a half zone
Qt Core: and around here is the half extra zone that is not sold
Wol Euler: wb
Qt Core: ty
Qt Core: and this is even more stupid than the two separate operator not talking to each other option...
Wol Euler: agreed
Qt Core: basically ticket seller get only tickets up to milan city center and no more
Wol Euler: huh
Qt Core: let sal local, local + getting to Milan, local + getting to Milan + wandering in Milan
Qt Core: now if with those zones you can get elsewhere good for you
Qt Core: now with credit card like subscription it may become easier
Qt Core: they even started making a few tickets available via SMS or in app buying
Wol Euler nods.

--BELL--

Qt Core: i better go start the day (as if my sister didn't wake me at 6:15 am on a weekend...)
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: take care, Qt
Wol Euler: and enjoy the weekend
Qt Core: il' try, have fun
Wol Euler: I'll try :)
