[9:24]  Draxtor Despres is Offline
[9:28]  Pavig Lok: uncle spam :P
[9:28]  You: lol
[9:28]  LittleToe Bartlett: hee... nice
[9:28]  Pavig Lok: that's not a bad poster i think
[9:29]  Pavig Lok: so you're on a drive to get people designing for here?
[9:29]  You: yes, very much
[9:30]  Pavig Lok: hard to find creative creatives with a bit of discipline i've found
[9:30]  Lydia Milner: ha ha thats funny
[9:30]  Lydia Milner: i like it
[9:30]  You: let me give you some more info about what we're up to
[9:30]  sunflower Aichi is Offline
[9:30]  You: creative creatives with discipline may be a contradiction in terms
[9:30]  Lydia Milner: are you going to get the poster to give lm, list of regular events, etc?
[9:30]  Lydia Milner: ucantu notecard?
[9:31]  You: yes, all the above, i guess
[9:31]  Pavig Lok: maybe give an lm and poke them at your website
[9:31]  You: what does it need?
[9:31]  You: still
[9:32]  Pavig Lok accepted your inventory offer.
[9:32]  Pavig Lok accepted your inventory offer.
[9:32]  LittleToe Bartlett: mmm... maybe put the website on the poster for the non-clicking inclined
[9:32]  You: good idea
[9:32]  LittleToe Bartlett accepted your inventory offer.
[9:33]  Pavig Lok: if you want someone to click on something often good to put an icon on it
[9:33]  Pavig Lok: like a mouse arrow with a little star clicky type thing on it
[9:33]  LittleToe Bartlett accepted your inventory offer.
[9:33]  You: good idea
[9:33]  Pavig Lok: people aren't very clicky usually unless you make them
[9:34]  You: btw, the last notecard i gave you both has the schedule of our meetings, and our website
[9:34]  Pavig Lok: thanks
[9:34]  Pavig Lok accepted your inventory offer.

[9:49]  Pavig Lok: indeed
[9:49]  You: I give up
[9:49]  LittleToe Bartlett: hee
[9:49]  Pavig Lok: this kind of prototyping is quite a powerful tool
[9:50]  Dancers Yao: yes it's my first attempt, and there's alot of great things to learn
[9:51]  You: so, Pavig and Little Toe, are you both builders?
[9:51]  Pavig Lok: indeed we are
[9:51]  Pavig Lok: we're probably best know for making the original greenies sim
[9:51]  Pavig Lok: but we do a lot of things.
[9:52]  Pavig Lok: at the moment we're working on a virtual museum project ourselves.. but its still in "secret' status
[9:52]  Pavig Lok: so i'm not sure when we're allowed to start talking about it
[9:52]  You: cool!wow, that's great
[9:53]  Pavig Lok: but of course we've been round sl checking out what other folk are doing to see what works and doesn't
[9:53]  You: I hope you'll check out http://thetechvirtual.org and join up
[9:53]  LittleToe Bartlett: Ive been looking at the websites, have any of the protoypes been constructed yet?
[9:53]  Draxtor Despres is Online
[9:54]  Dancers Yao: what have you discovered works so far?
[9:54]  You: yes, seven of them in RL

[9:55]  LittleToe Bartlett: ah, ok
[9:56]  You: dumb q for you all: isn't there a setting in profs to stop IMs from appearing in the text chat stream?
[9:57]  Lydia Milner: i was tihnking anything the poster gives is nicer if it is in an objec,t rahter than lots of loose things, also easier to fdind
[9:57]  Pavig Lok: sure
[9:57]  Lydia Milner: maybe like a borchure for the museum
[9:57]  You: the SL5B IM stream is driving me nuts
[9:57]  Lydia Milner: yes, what a socialbe lot lol
[9:57]  LittleToe Bartlett: once you close the window it will stop until someone starts a new session
[9:58]  LittleToe Bartlett: the window within the window, I should say
[9:58]  Lydia Milner: thanks dancers, she seems to either have a tummy bug or the start of chicken pox that is sweeeeping town
[9:59]  Pavig Lok: damn now i can't find it
[9:59]  You: thx
[9:59]  Pavig Lok: h well
[9:59]  Lydia Milner: i did a brochure for the painter exh with lots of free stuff in irt
[9:59]  Pavig Lok: you can minimize the im window and just ignore it if you don't mind it being there
[10:00]  You: yeah, giving a lm and then a box of stuff sounds goo
[10:00]  Lydia Milner: and put it in a wallmounted perspex holder, just like rl, with a sign saying please take one
[10:00]  Pavig Lok: heh
[10:00]  Dancers Yao: you are amazing to do so many things at once Lydia, hope it's a simple bug and goes away soon.
[10:00]  Lydia Milner: can you put a litte stand in front of the pioster
[10:00]  Pavig Lok: that's actually a good idea, people respond to things they recognize
[10:01]  Lydia Milner: lol, hey you should see my launry pile! i only do laundry for thinking time
[10:01]  Lydia Milner: she put herself to bed then throw up on the bed ugh
[10:02]  You: good ideas
