--BELL--1300
Wol Euler: hello maude, nice to see you again
DR42 Resident: Hi, I didn't expect anyone else to show up!
Wol Euler smiles.
Wol Euler: how are you today?
DR42 Resident: Fine, a bit tired. Trying to fix my PC.
Wol Euler: :)
DR42 Resident: How is your world?
Wol Euler: tiring too
Wol Euler: turning chilly, winter approaches
DR42 Resident: Yea, finally had to turn the wood stove on.
Wol Euler: I thought this evening as I walked home from work that I might go straight from the lightweight summer jacket to a fall coat, without the usual N weeks in my lined leather jacket
DR42 Resident: My lined leather jacket is for winter, along with a "P" Coat.
Wol Euler: wht's a P coat?
Wol Euler: upside down bustle?
DR42 Resident: Styled after a coat used by the US Navy. I guess it is officially a Pea Coat.
DR42 Resident: Double breasted, turn out collar, Knee length. Warm.
Wol Euler: nice
Wol Euler does a google image search
Agatha Macbeth: 's current display-name is "Aggers".
Wol Euler: ah, yes, okay
Wol Euler: hello aggers
Agatha Macbeth: Here I am
Agatha Macbeth: Couldn't think what to put on
DR42 Resident: There you are.
Wol Euler smiles.
DR42 Resident: I don't change clothes often, so I never have that problem
Agatha Macbeth: Well been a while since I wore this
Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: quite marine-looking
Wol Euler: landlocked mermaid
Agatha Macbeth: Aqua marina
Agatha Macbeth: How's yer gums?
Wol Euler remembers Stingray on b/w tv many decades ago.
Wol Euler: better thanks
Agatha Macbeth: Glad to hear it
--BELL--1315
Wol Euler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPu9mLfLoOA <- my childhood
Agatha Macbeth: Good to see SSB seems to have been a success
DR42 Resident: SSB?
Agatha Macbeth: Or is it SSA?
DR42 Resident: Either LL changed the name.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: Good of them
Agatha Macbeth: Well it seems to work anyway
DR42 Resident: Performance and gray AVs seem much worse than before. Seems to be no gain noticeable, possible some loss.
Agatha Macbeth: I haven't noticed any grey avs for ages
Agatha Macbeth: And nothing seems blurred any more
DR42 Resident: At a bunch at the Parkinson's area today.
Wol Euler: oh, lucky you: I have the opposite experience, it seems to me that unfocussed textures are far more common now than before
Wol Euler: and ctrl-alt-R does no good
Agatha Macbeth: Really?
Agatha Macbeth: How odd
Agatha Macbeth: It's improved around here no end
Agatha Macbeth: Blurred avs were always a pain when I used Phoenix
Wol Euler: hmmmm
Agatha Macbeth: Berti found the same
Wol Euler: okay, the average is much better. On the whole it's a great improvement. My belief is that it sometimes gets stuck, and cannot unstick itself
Wol Euler: the system believes that the av is fully baked and will not rebake
Agatha Macbeth: Hm, how would that happen?
Wol Euler: dunno
Wol Euler: just my attempt to interpret what I see
Agatha Macbeth: How does SL know when you're fully baked anyway?
DR42 Resident: Viewer asks for the baked texture and the server sends it, kind of like any other texture. It knows when all the data has been sent. Sometimes it doesn't all get there, however.
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Hm
Wol Euler: and just as before it puts together a combined texture from your skin and clothes
Agatha Macbeth: Complicated
DR42 Resident: And that combined work is done in the server.
Wol Euler: now, yes; that is the change
Agatha Macbeth: Which is why it should in theory be quicker?
DR42 Resident: Rather than the viewer, where it used to be done.
Wol Euler: right
Wol Euler: and also harder for copybots to steal textures, because there's only one
Agatha Macbeth: Oh good
DR42 Resident: Yea. You used to be able to click on someones clothes and see who made them. Cannot do that anymore, either.
Agatha Macbeth: Aww
Agatha Macbeth: I did that quite a lot at one time
Wol Euler: prims you still can
Wol Euler: but not mesh or texture
DR42 Resident: Yea, to see where to get something you really liked. Now you have to ask the owner where to get it.
Agatha Macbeth: True
--BELL--1330
DR42 Resident: And there is no "autofit" either, you have to use reshaper skin layers or change your shape to fit some outfits. Kind of one size fits only a feww.
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder if it makes things easier for the designers or more difficult?
DR42 Resident: Anyone overcome an obstacle to world peace this week?
DR42 Resident: harder.
Wol Euler: world peace, no.
Agatha Macbeth: Peace in our time
Wol Euler: not sure where I'd look for one, actually.
Wol Euler lifts the corner of the carpet curiuosly.
Agatha Macbeth: Time to hoover?
Santoshima Resident: 's current display-name is "San".
Agatha Macbeth: Hello San
Santoshima Resident: hello :)
DR42 Resident: ηαмαѕтє
Wol Euler: hello san
Wol Euler: how about you, Marge? Have you helped world peace along this week?
DR42 Resident: Only tried to make people around me a bit happier.
Agatha Macbeth: That's always a start
Wol Euler: that counts.
DR42 Resident: Think global, act local.
Wol Euler: well, that seems to have exhausted that topic.
Santoshima Resident: making tea
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe it was an exhausting topic
Wol Euler nods.
Santoshima Resident: what's the listed topic?
Wol Euler looks at the board.
Santoshima Resident: do we need to exhaust it?
Wol Euler: we might need to ventilate the room
DR42 Resident: Maybe a bit too focused.
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't me :p
Santoshima Resident: hmm, perhaps not wisely i've de-rezzed all the billboards at the Pabvilion
Santoshima Resident: never know now what's on the menu
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Santoshima Resident: a surprise
Agatha Macbeth: Can't you get them back?
DR42 Resident: You can get them back.
Santoshima Resident: sure
Santoshima Resident: they are too ugly
Santoshima Resident: so not particularly wishing to
DR42 Resident: I have de-rezed most of this area, only leaving the basic building and the schedule
Agatha Macbeth: A few of the trees could go to be honest
Santoshima Resident: truly
Santoshima Resident: and some of the roses
Santoshima Resident: oh, nix that comment
--BELL--1345
Santoshima Resident: how can one look through the camera of another's computer?
Santoshima Resident: i've heard that can be done
Wol Euler: piggybacking on their avatar as it were?
Wol Euler: I believe it can not
Wol Euler: well it might be possible to set your camera parallel to that other person by scripting
Santoshima Resident: i see
Wol Euler: but you won't see exactly what they see (unless the Lindens have really screwed up) because that would be a security/privacy hole
Santoshima Resident: hmm, it is not something i seek to do. but have heard it has been done. viewing the typist through their computer camera
Wol Euler: oh!
Wol Euler: that is not what I thought you meant, sorry
Agatha Macbeth: Say cheese
Santoshima Resident: (not a conspiraccy theroy ... just heard recetnly ... and curiosity piqued
Wol Euler: yes, that can be done. It's illegal in nearly every country, because it is hacking
Santoshima Resident: yes, that is what i thought
Wol Euler: if you can get control of their computer via black-hat tricks, then you do indeed have control.
Santoshima Resident: it sounds to be illegal and grossly unethical
Wol Euler: you can turn on their camera and look through it, turn on thier microphone and listen to them
Santoshima Resident: hmm
DR42 Resident: If they make the camera accessible, you could use a web browser to access it.
Santoshima Resident: i see
Wol Euler: absolutely, yes
Santoshima Resident: a portal
Wol Euler: mmhmm
DR42 Resident: There is a program called VNC, I think, that lets you take over their computer, keyboard, mouse, and all. If they allow you access to it.
Santoshima Resident: i see
Santoshima Resident: ty
Wol Euler: yes, that is the "white hat" version, for remote fixing
Wol Euler: many companies use it
DR42 Resident: It is great if there are PCs in the server area that you don't want to get up and run too all the time.
Wol Euler: yep
Santoshima Resident: it was the "black hat" version that I had been warned about
Santoshima Resident: and i will look into further for information
DR42 Resident: My sister and I have it installed, so I can fix her PC from 150 miles away.
Wol Euler smiles.
Santoshima Resident: oh, that's a great solution
DR42 Resident: It is freeware.
Santoshima Resident: so ... thinking ... ethics as a basis for peace
Santoshima Resident: if that is the topic
Santoshima Resident: is what i have to offer, since i can't offer tea
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Tea up
Agatha Macbeth: C'mon Wollie your turn ;)
Wol Euler raises her cup of Darjeeling.
DR42 Resident: There was a song called "The Commercial" by Spanky and our Gang, I think.
Santoshima Resident: hum a little?
Agatha Macbeth: There once was a girl from Darjeeling
Santoshima Resident: does anyone here use the invitation of tea to mean an invitation to conversation?
Agatha Macbeth slurps
--BELL--1400
Wol Euler: not since moving to Germany, we say "let's have coffee" when we mean "we need a short meeting"
Santoshima Resident: ah! even better
Agatha Macbeth: Like Cagney and Lacey in the toilet
Wol Euler raises an eyebrow.
DR42 Resident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAp8VgMrpRA From 1967.
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder why Paradise has rezzed a torch in mid air?
Wol Euler: I assume she dropped it there. I told her, but she didn'T figure out that I meant she should take it away
Wol Euler: maude, that was fun :)
DR42 Resident: Yea, kind of funny.
DR42 Resident: And short.
Agatha Macbeth: Just seems an odd place for it#
Wol Euler: like I said, I assume she dropped it
Agatha Macbeth: Dropped it upwards?
Wol Euler shrugs
Agatha Macbeth: Where's Isaac?
DR42 Resident: It's derendered for me. cannot see it.
Agatha Macbeth: Ah gone
Agatha Macbeth: One less prim for Storm to worry about
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: And so saying San crashed
Agatha Macbeth: Anyone know how Colorado's doing?
DR42 Resident: Nope, hasn't made the new lately. I guess they are trying to figure out what to do next.
Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
Agatha Macbeth: And we complain about our weather
DR42 Resident: Flood is about 2000 sq miles, many bridges and roads are out.
Agatha Macbeth: Wow, ark time
Wol Euler: definitely wow
Agatha Macbeth: That's some serious water
Wol Euler: my dears, I'm going to move on to some serious bed
Wol Euler: goodngiht, take care, be safe and dry
Wol Euler: and enjoy your tea
Agatha Macbeth: US does seem to have had some dreadful weather lately
Wol Euler: for world peace
Agatha Macbeth: Sleep well Wollie
Wol Euler smiles.
