[ 12:07] Eliza Madrigal: one can cam from here and see a little (was doing that earlier)
[ 12:08] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): San - are you still OK with decorating the garden for the party?
[ 12:08] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Eliza and Riddle are doing the cake
[ 12:08] Eliza Madrigal: :)

SL ART - Visit the Gallery!
[ 12:09] San (Santoshima): the pieces in the gallery now are really fun, Bleu!
[ 12:09] San (Santoshima): why not announce these on SL ART?
[ 12:10] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): thx! thought they might inspire others to play
[ 12:10] San (Santoshima): wonderful stuff
[ 12:10] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): we could announce out show perhaps when everyone does one?
[ 12:10] San (Santoshima): announce both
[ 12:10] San (Santoshima): now and then again
[ 12:10] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): why not?
[ 12:10] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): could, sure
[ 12:10] San (Santoshima): good to have attention drawn to the gallery
[ 12:10] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): the more the merrier

[ 12:12] Eliza Madrigal: Good news! So everything is moving along swimmingly
[ 12:12] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and may send out the invitation to participate
[ 12:12] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): the theme for the party and decorations will be the future- and so will the poetry reading
[ 12:13] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): past and future- as it's important to look backwards as well as forwards
[ 12:13] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and incorporate some of our history if we can
[ 12:13] Eliza Madrigal: :) some of us can't seem to help that
[ 12:13] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I'm playing with a future-ish set for the poetry event ... its in the theatre atm
[ 12:13] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :-)
[ 12:13] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): great
[ 12:14] San (Santoshima): will have a loook
[ 12:14] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I gather each poet who is reading will get to choose their background, right?
[ 12:14] Eliza Madrigal: The party planning is still open for others to help, should say
[ 12:14] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes Aph
[ 12:15] Eliza Madrigal: with a default for those of us who will be happy to simply finish poem on time
[ 12:15] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:15] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): San, how are you doing with ideas for decorations?
[ 12:15] San (Santoshima): good
[ 12:15] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Shall we brainstorm any ideas or are you ok?
[ 12:15] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): btw, the winter gardens look so beautiful San!
[ 12:15] San (Santoshima): i'm good, but i did read above: [12:12] Aph (aphrodite.macbain): the theme for the party and decorations will be the future-
[ 12:15] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes- lovely

[ 12:16] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:16] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): was looking out the gallery window ... magical
[ 12:16] Eliza Madrigal: it really is
[ 12:16] San (Santoshima): yeah, i did that too, it was surprising
[ 12:16] Eliza Madrigal: love meeting up there and often arrive early to skate
[ 12:16] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): spring feels like it's about the future

[ 12:20] Eliza Madrigal: yes, wondered whether we'd hear from [ ]

[ 12:20] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): (Will see [ ] in Original Face on Wednesday.)

[ 12:21] Eliza Madrigal: would be nice to mention, please do
[ 12:21] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) nods to Aph.
CAKE!
[ 12:21] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): How are you doing with the birthday cake Eliza?
[ 12:21] Eliza Madrigal: I'm not sure now about the logistics of having a RL/SL overlap meeting, but it would be fun if we can pull it off
[ 12:22] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It will be Easter
[ 12:22] Eliza Madrigal: Riddle is overflowing with ideas, and I am scatterbrained trying to make time
[ 12:22] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:22] Eliza Madrigal: but we'll get there!
[ 12:22] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I am sure it will be futuristically fabulous
[ 12:23] San (Santoshima): can you include me in telling whatever you have planned?
[ 12:23] San (Santoshima): it will affect the venue :)
[ 12:23] Eliza Madrigal: :) Sure!
[ 12:23] San (Santoshima): when you know ... no rush
[ 12:23] Eliza Madrigal: might help us to do so also
[ 12:23] Eliza Madrigal: envision placement, etc
[ 12:24] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Did you get the Jan 28 minutes San?
[ 12:24] Eliza Madrigal: And speaking of envisioning, ready to brainstorm 'future PaB'?
[ 12:24] San (Santoshima): i don't think so, Aph
[ 12:24] San (Santoshima): oh, yes,
[ 12:24] San (Santoshima): havn't read yet though
[ 12:24] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Oh good. I thought I sent them to everyone
[ 12:24] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): on the cttee
[ 12:25] Eliza Madrigal: btw [ ] is the brave one, meeting so many of us at once :)
[ 12:25] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes!
PaB's FUTURE
[ 12:25] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I have ideas for the future but not necessarily of PaB's future
[ 12:26] Eliza Madrigal: that's a good place to start, Aph
[ 12:26] Eliza Madrigal: Do any of us have a sense of PaB's future?
[ 12:26] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It's pretty dystopia so I hesitate to say anything
[ 12:26] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): post party future?
[ 12:26] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): dystopian
[ 12:26] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): lol yes
[ 12:26] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): RL or SL?
[ 12:26] Eliza Madrigal: yes, post party.... both
[ 12:26] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): RL
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): affecting SL
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): wild weather
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): AI beings
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): visits to other planets
[ 12:27] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): ha!
[ 12:27] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:27] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): :)
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): new forms of transportation
[ 12:27] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): PaB meetup on mars
[ 12:27] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes!
[ 12:27] Eliza Madrigal: what about planet PaB? what are we doing week by week?
[ 12:28] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): meeting and talking about current issues and ideas
[ 12:28] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Dressing in new and strange ways
[ 12:28] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): books seem to interest some
[ 12:28] Eliza Madrigal: we all want to keep meeting with each other, but hour long discussion format may seem to be waning?
[ 12:29] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): yes- there is something in common to discuss
[ 12:29] San (Santoshima): yes, it has waned
[ 12:29] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): maybe it's the subject of the book that determines it's waning
[ 12:29] San (Santoshima): but other ways of coming together seem to resonate
[ 12:29] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): or waxing
[ 12:29] San (Santoshima): book discussions don't seem to be waning
[ 12:29] San (Santoshima): just the hour long meet ups at the pavillion
[ 12:29] Eliza Madrigal nods
[ 12:29] San (Santoshima): or however it's spelled
[ 12:30] Eliza Madrigal: 'showing up' and discussing spontaneously
[ 12:30] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): one 'l', I think.
ART and IDEAS
[ 12:30] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): are art projects still of interest?
[ 12:30] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Wonder visits to other sims might be fun. Expeditions to other worlds....
[ 12:30] San (Santoshima): yes, art projects are of interest
[ 12:30] Eliza Madrigal: I like art projects when I can connect it to the larger context of what we're doing
[ 12:31] Eliza Madrigal: which has always been the case :)
[ 12:31] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Each of us knows some places that are interesting
[ 12:31] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Yes Eliza
[ 12:31] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes, the art projects have always been PaB themed
[ 12:32] Eliza Madrigal: is there less definition to what is uniquely PaB?
[ 12:32] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): theatre doesn't seem to be of much interest?
[ 12:32] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Re the art projects - could we get together once we have some idea what we want to show?
[ 12:33] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and try and figure out how to deal with the technical challenges?
[ 12:33] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I'm happy to do a workshop too
[ 12:33] Eliza Madrigal: I'm interested in theater, in theory
[ 12:33] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): in theory I am too LOL
[ 12:33] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): separately or together?
[ 12:33] Eliza Madrigal: :))
[ 12:34] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I'm very interested in theatre
[ 12:34] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): and I'm sure Bajoy would help us
Intention/Motivation
[ 12:34] Eliza Madrigal: If I try to articulate what is going on with me, re PaB, it is a little deeper and complex than day to day, but it matters to my intent/motivation/energy day to day...
[ 12:34] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I"m not sure she's interested
[ 12:34] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): but we need a commitment from others to do something
[ 12:35] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): say more Eliza
[ 12:35] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): listens to Eliza
[ 12:35] Eliza Madrigal: at some point, PaB took the place of my spiritual community, and therefore the time I focused was more abundant.. if that makes sense
[ 12:35] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
[ 12:35] Eliza Madrigal: I'm still a primarily sort of spiritually-interested person
[ 12:36] Eliza Madrigal: so I like everything else, but my heart is at that center
[ 12:36] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): How can PaB become more of a spiritual community?
[ 12:36] Eliza Madrigal: well it just was/is, that's the thing
[ 12:36] Eliza Madrigal: it was never defined that way
[ 12:36] Eliza Madrigal: just became that for me and made sense
[ 12:36] Eliza Madrigal: now we aren't really even centered on pausing, etc
[ 12:36] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): what do you mean by spiritual?
[ 12:37] Eliza Madrigal: same answer, really...
[ 12:37] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I imagine we all define that in different ways
[ 12:37] Eliza Madrigal: something that is very hard to articulate
[ 12:37] Eliza Madrigal: yes, and personal
[ 12:37] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes!
[ 12:37] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): are pauses spiritual or a just way of listening more deeply?
[ 12:37] Eliza Madrigal: spiritual is a horribly imperfect word
[ 12:38] Eliza Madrigal: but just the closest I can reach for
[ 12:38] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): :)
[ 12:38] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): is listening more deeply spiritual ?
[ 12:38] Eliza Madrigal: I do think so...
[ 12:38] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
[ 12:38] Eliza Madrigal: about presence perhaps
[ 12:38] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): could be about reflection, appreciation, lots of things?
[ 12:39] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
[ 12:39] Eliza Madrigal: always has been here, this is true
[ 12:39] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) nods.
[ 12:39] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): a way of dealing with the world
[ 12:39] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Amor Fati?
[ 12:39] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Make love?
[ 12:40] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): No, Love of Fate. . . . Loving whatever happens.
[ 12:40] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): hi Zen :)
[ 12:40] Eliza Madrigal: Hi Zen :)
[ 12:40] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Hi, Zen.
[ 12:40] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Ah
[ 12:40] Zen (Zen Arado): Hi all
[ 12:40] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): acceptance

[ 12:45] Zen (Zen Arado): Facebook actually seems to have hindered expansion of SL when it arrived
[ 12:45] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): SL will change too
[ 12:45] Eliza Madrigal: like when fashion changes and you begin to feel self-conscious about high waisted jeans, lol
[ 12:45] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): along with the weather

[ 12:47] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): jeans haven't been cowboy for many years!
[ 12:47] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Neither am I but jeans can be very comfy
[ 12:47] Eliza Madrigal: one big appeal of SL over social media was actually the fact that you're meeting in 'real time' which other forms eliminate the need for
[ 12:47] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Those spurs would come in handy, though.
[ 12:47] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:47] Zen (Zen Arado): :)
[ 12:47] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes Eliza
[ 12:48] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Yes SL is more direct and creative I think
[ 12:48] Zen (Zen Arado): true Eliza
[ 12:48] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): or can be
[ 12:48] Zen (Zen Arado): to us but not to others
[ 12:48] Zen (Zen Arado): we must be special somehow
[ 12:48] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 12:48] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It would be fun to do a theatre project where people improvise
[ 12:48] Eliza Madrigal: but sms can keep connections with those who can't be in SL for one reason or another, which is also part of PaB
[ 12:49] Eliza Madrigal: more than half my FB is PaB :) [correction, more than half those I actually communicate with on FB are from PaB :)]
[ 12:49] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Speaking of real time -- I FINALLY found out why I could get a white dot. . . My Adaware virus protection was turning off SL voice.
[ 12:49] Eliza Madrigal: at least I think so
[ 12:49] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): could NOT get a white dot, I meant.
[ 12:49] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): darn adware
[ 12:49] Eliza Madrigal: wb San :)
[ 12:49] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Hi San
[ 12:49] Eliza Madrigal: oh, good thing to figure out Bruce
[ 12:49] San (Santoshima): whispers: > excuse me, forgot to share this Nina Paley video,
[ 12:49] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): When I turned off Adaware, the dot came back.
[ 12:49] San (Santoshima): https://vimeo.com/253135841?ref=fb-share&1
[ 12:49] San (Santoshima): see ya
[ 12:49] Eliza Madrigal: I don't have a mic, but always had issues with voice when on laptop
[ 12:49] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Bye, San.
[ 12:50] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): thanks!
[ 12:50] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): thx bye San
[Bruce talks a little in voice]
[ 12:50] Eliza Madrigal: hahah
[ 12:50] Eliza Madrigal: HELLO
[ 12:50] Zen (Zen Arado): sorry have to go
[ 12:50] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Bye, Zen.
[ 12:50] Eliza Madrigal: okay bye Zen :)
[ 12:50] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Love those images of Ishtar
[ 12:50] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): or another Babylonian goddess
[ 12:51] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Eliza
[ 12:51] Eliza Madrigal: so maybe part of the answer comes down to mixing and mingling and trying new forms?
[ 12:51] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) listens.
[ 12:51] Eliza Madrigal listens
Suggestion Box? More Guardian Meetings?
[ 12:51] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Maybe we can put a suggestion box near the pavilion for Pabbers to make suggestions
[ 12:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I think this is the best way to discuss ideas
[ 12:52] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Sometimes I think of things and then forget them later
[ 12:52] Eliza Madrigal: hopefully those who didn't attend can read the session and make comments, perhaps in emails too
[ 12:52] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): having a suggestion box could help people like me with short memories
[ 12:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): perhaps more GM's to discuss?
[ 12:52] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Folks could leave suggestions in the box that Aph suggests, and then we could discuss those suggestions in Guardian Mtgs.
[ 12:52] Eliza Madrigal: I'm willing to try the box.. but can't commit to too many weekend GMs
[ 12:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): kk
[ 12:53] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): we often just need a topic to get us going...
[ 12:53] Eliza Madrigal: the 3 is a good start maybe, but I agree GMs are often the best generators of energy
[ 12:53] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) nods to Aph.
[ 12:53] Eliza Madrigal: true
[ 12:53] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): 3?
Sorry, I didn't see this question. There are 3 GMs planned for this topic. The next two are:
Saturday - Feb. 17, 2 pm SLT
Saturday - Feb. 17, 2 pm SLT
and
Saturday - March 3, 12 pm SLT
TIME IN WORLD
[ 12:53] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): probably we should all think about when and how much time we want to spend in SL/PaB?
[ 12:53] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I divide my time
[ 12:53] Eliza Madrigal: I think so, personally I've been trying to do that
[ 12:54] Eliza Madrigal: because I have to :)
[ 12:54] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I hear a lot saying that they don't have much time
[ 12:54] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I have different homes
[ 12:54] Eliza Madrigal: my SL time has halved in the last year, so I really feel the difference
[ 12:54] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It helps when u are a member of an active sim
[ 12:54] Eliza Madrigal: more than halved probably
PRIORITY
[ 12:54] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): so perhaps not so much of a priority for many of us now?
[ 12:54] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I have just organized an exhibition of paintings in Sorrentina
[ 12:54] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): that has taken a lot of time
[ 12:55] Eliza Madrigal: that's a key question Bleu
[ 12:55] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
[ 12:55] Eliza Madrigal: maybe the question to begin the next GM with
[ 12:55] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): So time variues depending on the projects you are doing
[ 12:55] Eliza Madrigal nods
PaB Common Land?
[ 12:55] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): another question might be do we want to keep our common PaB land?
[ 12:55] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): varies
[ 12:55] Eliza Madrigal: all goes together
[ 12:55] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
[ 12:55] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It brings me back to PaB
[ 12:55] Eliza Madrigal: there really is nothing like PaB
[ 12:56] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it seems pretty deserted her lately
[ 12:56] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I play with my garden
[ 12:56] Eliza Madrigal: yet sometimes when a few are very active, others less so, one feels a little silly
[ 12:56] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): but see noone
[ 12:56] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes
[ 12:56] Eliza Madrigal: to make such a priority
[ 12:56] Eliza Madrigal: ouch, hate typing that :)
[ 12:56] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): It can be lonely
[ 12:57] Eliza Madrigal: so maybe articulating these questions is very important
Visiting and Spontaneity in SL
[ 12:57] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I remember previously when we visited each other's places
[ 12:57] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) nods.
[ 12:57] Eliza Madrigal nods
[ 12:57] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): there was always someone there
[ 12:57] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I could easily give up SL, but get interested when there's a creative project
[ 12:57] Eliza Madrigal: the spontaneous showing up thing used to be much more of PaB experience
[ 12:57] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Aph gave me a lemon tree for my living room.
[ 12:57] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): nods
[ 12:57] Eliza Madrigal: you're able to do so much in SL though, Bleu
[ 12:57] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): smiles
[ 12:57] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): and two paintings.
[ 12:57] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): :)))
[ 12:57] Eliza Madrigal: :))
[ 12:57] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): lol
Showing up and Passion
[ 12:57] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): there doesn't seem to be any interest in sessions these days
[ 12:58] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): blushes
[ 12:58] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): no
[ 12:58] Eliza Madrigal: I always think that if I were a better builder and such, I'd be involved in lots of other things
[ 12:58] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): maybe we need to accept that
[ 12:58] Eliza Madrigal: yes
[ 12:58] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I show up for sessions -- (as in three minutes from now) -- and stay for about 20 minutes - then leave if no one shows up.
[ 12:58] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Maybe we only meet once a month
[ 12:58] Eliza Madrigal: the book topics do draw interest... but maybe twice a week is too much for most
[ 12:58] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): you really need the passion to create in sl ... takes a lot of time to learn the tools
Once per week Book Discussions
[ 12:58] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I love the book discussions.
[ 12:59] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): You shine at those discussions Bruce
[ 12:59] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): book discussions are good, but once a week would be great
[ 12:59] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Goin to the pavilion now. THANKS, everyone.
[ 12:59] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Nods
[ 12:59] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Bye Bruce
[ 12:59] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): I should go now too
[ 12:59] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): bye Bruce
[ 12:59] Eliza Madrigal: will follow you Bruce :) at least for a bit
[ 13:00] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): take a look in the gallery
[ 13:00] Aph (Aphrodite Macbain): Bye everyone
[ 13:00] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): bye everyone
[ 13:00] Eliza Madrigal: bye Bleu, thanks so much
Pre-session chat
[ 11:48] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): hi Eliza!
[ 11:49] Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bleu
[ 11:49] Eliza Madrigal: I've been trying to learn to use a joystick in SL... not easy!
[ 11:49] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): sorry to hear about George's hot spot ... those can be nasty
[ 11:49] Eliza Madrigal: He's never had one and is PITIFUL
[ 11:49] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yes not easy at first
[ 11:50] Eliza Madrigal: How did you learn it? Use a tutorial?
[ 11:50] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): just practiced
[ 11:50] Eliza Madrigal: I've been configuring and reconfiguring
[ 11:50] Eliza Madrigal: and still can't zoom well
[ 11:50] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it took me a while and I went back to a mouse :)
[ 11:50] Eliza Madrigal: :)
[ 11:51] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it was necessary when I was doing videos
[ 11:51] Eliza Madrigal: exactly
[ 11:51] Eliza Madrigal: and I need to ZOOM in on people
[ 11:51] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): yep
[ 11:51] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): smoothly
[ 11:51] Eliza Madrigal: yes!
[ 11:51] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): been there!!
[ 11:51] Eliza Madrigal: so I've managed to learn a lot, but nothing seems different when I change settings and such
[ 11:51] Eliza Madrigal: you still have to use normal controls I think, along with the joystick?
[ 11:52] Eliza Madrigal: cause I can't move forward with that
[ 11:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I had one that totally did everything
[ 11:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): smoothly
[ 11:52] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): its now packed away somewhere LOL
[ 11:52] Eliza Madrigal: oh no
[ 11:52] Eliza Madrigal: so I can't ask which it was :)
[ 11:53] Eliza Madrigal: I'm using my son's xbox controller
[ 11:53] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I'll see if I can find it
[ 11:53] Eliza Madrigal: thanks! don't go to too much trouble but if it is easy I'd appreciate that
[ 11:53] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): got it :)
[ 11:54] Eliza Madrigal: wow
[ 11:54] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): it says 3D connexion on it
[ 11:54] Eliza Madrigal: Hi Bruce :)
[ 11:54] Eliza Madrigal: ltns
[ 11:54] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Hi!
[ 11:54] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I don't know where the software is ... it was loaded on my now broken old computer
[ 11:54] Eliza Madrigal: Ahhh
[ 11:54] Eliza Madrigal: but that's the brand name?
[ 11:54] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): not sure
[ 11:55] Bleu (Bleu Oleander): I'll google it
[ 11:55] Eliza Madrigal: (Bleu is helping me with an SL/joystick puzzle)
[ 11:55] Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Great!
