Zaldaan Sirnah: I'm fine thank you.
Hokon Cazalet: cool =)
--BELL--
Hokon Cazalet: im doing pretty well also, slept a lot today (hehe long reply)
Hokon Cazalet: hi zen
Zen Arado: Hi Hokon, Zaldaan
Zen Arado: I'm having trouble with my av this morning
Hokon Cazalet: =(
Zen Arado: it wouldn't rez..only as a white cloud in V2
Zen Arado: then it was ruthed in Phoenix
Hokon Cazalet: eep! o.O
Zen Arado: am I ruthed atm to you?
Zen Arado: how are you both anyway?
Hokon Cazalet: im doing quite well
Hokon Cazalet: got tons of sleep =)
Zen Arado: good - it's still very early for you though?
Hokon Cazalet: yup
Hokon Cazalet: 3am
Zaldaan Sirnah: Do you know another meeting group like this which meets at such frequent intervals?
Hokon Cazalet: i dont zaldaan
Zen Arado: no Zal
Zen Arado: can't say I do
Zaldaan Sirnah: Or multiple groups which collectively meet at such frequent intervals :)
Zen Arado: 28 meetings a week !
Hokon Cazalet: lol
Zen Arado: once or twice a week is what most can manage
Zen Arado: it can be hard to get guardians for all the meetings
Zaldaan Sirnah: What happens without guardians?
Zen Arado: hopefully another fills in
Zen Arado: or else the meeting isn't recorded
Zen Arado: can be difficult at this time of year as so many go on vacation
Zen Arado: do I look Ruthed to you?
Hokon Cazalet: nope
Zen Arado: i.e have women's breasts?
Hokon Cazalet: nope
Zen Arado: getting paranoid about this now
Zen Arado: cos you don't see it yourself
Hokon Cazalet: hi rhia
Zen Arado: and you appear that way to some and not to others
Zen Arado: Hi Rhia :)
Zen Arado: I think I am using too many viewers
Zen Arado: could be doing it
Zen Arado: started using Firestorm lately
Zen Arado: I like the features on it
Zen Arado: but it rezzes me with a big green egg around my waist :)
Hokon Cazalet: lol
Zen Arado: was a good meeting last night Rhi
Rhiannon Dragoone: I'm glad you liked it
Zen Arado: did you know I was there?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Yeah, I knew you were there; I said hi to you
Rhiannon Dragoone: hi Zal. Hokon
Zen Arado: I went as Jan , my female av
--BELL--
Zen Arado: it's hard to keep track of ppl's alts I'm sure
Rhiannon Dragoone: I don't really even bother
Rhiannon Dragoone: I spent a lot of time at Philosophy island in my wayward SL youth, and saw how paranoid people get; actually mentally ill, trying to psych out alts
Zen Arado: yeh..I suppose you can just respond to ppl as you find them
Rhiannon Dragoone: I think that's the best way.
Rhiannon Dragoone: Oh, you do realie that some people think Hokon's my alt
Hokon Cazalet: lol
Rhiannon Dragoone: And lokifluff dlarity banned the estate manager of my sim from her sim,, as she is dertain Blackenened is me.
Zen Arado: yeh..I can see how you could get into all sorts of suspicions and doubts about this
Zen Arado: I don't know how you cope with that group
Zen Arado: all those ppl yammering away
Rhiannon Dragoone: birric forcella thinks that a guy name Larry Mavros is me.
Rhiannon Dragoone: I generally don't bother with them.
Zen Arado: going off on tangents and hobby horses of their own
Zen Arado: and that's just me :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, you mean my group?
Zen Arado: yes
Rhiannon Dragoone: It's easy really; you jus honor each person and steer them subtly back to the theme
Zen Arado: easier in RL I think
Zen Arado: cos you can't all talk at once they way we do in text
Hokon Cazalet: id agree
Rhiannon Dragoone: In RL, you have more control; more authority
Zen Arado: yes
Rhiannon Dragoone: heh. It's not the text; try managing a group when they all talk in voice and try to shout each other down
Zen Arado: and if you can't type fast in SL your voice gets lost
Zen Arado: yeh that happens too
Rhiannon Dragoone: With text, at least you can look at what each is saying and respond to multiple persons almost simujltaneously
Zen Arado: but all talking in voice is what happens in RL and you can stop them hopefully
Zen Arado: hmmm yes
Zen Arado: you don't lose any of it
Rhiannon Dragoone: You can with a physical presence
Rhiannon Dragoone: You don't lose any of it with text.
Zen Arado: snap
Zen Arado: I will read the text of the meeting again
Zen Arado: I made a notecard
Zen Arado: I am interested in art cos I paint
Zen Arado: and aesthetics
Zen Arado: and there were many good comments
Zen Arado: what kind of philosophy do you teach in RL Rhi?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Actually, in rl, although my Ph.D. is in philosophy, I teach writing and mathematics
Rhiannon Dragoone: atm
Rhiannon Dragoone: I've taught philosophy in the past.
Zen Arado: I see
Zen Arado: pure math?
Rhiannon Dragoone: Mostly algebra
--BELL--
Zen Arado: I noticed you knew what an isomorphism was the other week
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah.
Zen Arado: I did some pure math as part of my first degree
Hokon Cazalet: im gonna head out, have a good day all of you =)
Zen Arado: kk bye Hokon :)
Zen Arado: you too :)
Rhiannon Dragoone: bye hokon
Rhiannon Dragoone: Zal, you've been awfully quiet
Zen Arado: maybe he dozed off
Zen Arado: ah
Zaldaan Sirnah: I should
Zen Arado: should what Zal?
Zaldaan Sirnah: doze off
Zen Arado: oh :)
Zen Arado: I seem to have so much to do in SL lately
Rhiannon Dragoone: yeah, tell me about it
Zen Arado: should narrow my interests
Rhiannon Dragoone: oh, where's the fun in that?
Rhiannon Dragoone: What are your interests in SL?
Zen Arado: yeh true :)
Zen Arado: but am doing things in a shallow way
Zen Arado: well atm I ma getting involved in Beibg Theater Players
Zen Arado: we had our first production last month
Rhiannon Dragoone: Cool. That would take a lot of time though
Zen Arado: I would like to do something for the next ....show?
Zen Arado: yeh
Zen Arado: I realize I need so many skills I haen't got
Zen Arado: need to be able to build a set
Zen Arado: come up with ideas
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, tht's the first step; you now know you need the skills; the second step is to acquire them.
Zen Arado: work out music to use
Zen Arado: yeh
Zen Arado: need to use a rezzer to erect a set quickly
Zen Arado: and work with phots
Zen Arado: would like to learn how to do animations too...
Zen Arado: just need a few more hours each day
Zen Arado: watched a guy doing ballet last night
Zen Arado: in SL
Zen Arado: it was quite good...the animations
Zen Arado: I am learning how to make a music track too
--BELL--
Zen Arado: and I'm learning guitar and how to make a composition using multiple tracks
Rhiannon Dragoone: Zen, we all need few more hours in the day
Zen Arado: playing into my laptop
Rhiannon Dragoone: you are busy
Zen Arado: maybe I am setting myself unrealistic goals
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, the only way to know that is to see if you can achieve them.
Zen Arado: and I need time to paint and finish my university course
Rhiannon Dragoone: Well, prioritize and see how it goes.
Zen Arado: it's a matter of prioratizing maybe
Rhiannon Dragoone: heh

Zen Arado: he he
Zen Arado: I was just saying how many things I have to do
Zen Arado: and the skills I need to develop to do them
milakel Resident: i really think it would be lovely. you have beautiful paintings that would fit very well to theater decorations.
milakel Resident: there are people to help you :)
Zen Arado: hmmm yes
milakel Resident: everyone works in a group
Zen Arado: I'm not used to that
milakel Resident: only storm can pull off a one-man project :)
Zen Arado: :)
Zen Arado: even using photo programs I need more expertise
milakel Resident: you only need to learn a few basic tools really
Zen Arado: I would have to cut bits out of paintings and use them a textures
milakel Resident: yes
milakel Resident: that's relatively easy
Zen Arado: easy if you know how
milakel Resident: ah, sorry, phone...
--BELL--
Zen Arado: I sometimes get the feeling everyone in SL is better with computers than me
Zen Arado: so many computer geeks
Zen Arado: but I guess I do ok for someone my age
milakel Resident: eh, sorry, i have to go, zen
Zen Arado: np
milakel Resident: you're doing great! :)
Zen Arado: better go myself
Zen Arado: :)
milakel Resident: ok, have fun :)
