[9:38]  Asterion Coen: funny projects :)
[9:38]  Asterion Coen: most of them r in relations with populations ?
[9:38]  You: so this is the link for the electric-free refrigeration :
[9:38]  You: http://thetechvirtual.org/projects/ucantu/technologies/electric-free-refrigeration/
[9:38]  Asterion Coen: thx steph hehe :)

[9:46]  Asterion Coen: hope your jet isnot a boeing with some damaged H2o bottles in
[9:46]  You: some sort of official id, yes
[9:46]  Asterion Coen: hmm that could be a good project, an H2O bottle that never explose
[9:47]  Lydia Milner: why is that?
[9:47]  Agent Heliosense: One thing to note is.... it can be really hard to figure out what an exhibit is supposed to do.
[9:47]  Asterion Coen: for sure
[9:47]  Agent Heliosense: so, if you are good at writing and explaining then a few notes can go a long way!
[9:47]  Agent Heliosense: towards winning as your exhibit has to be understood by up to 8 or so judges
[9:48]  Agent Heliosense: and they only have a few minutes for each
[9:48]  Asterion Coen: my sign will be simple, clear, limpide; an electric free refrigeration
[9:48]  Agent Heliosense: ty loren and preston

[9:51]  Asterion Coen: i do have something to say ? :)
[9:51]  Agent Heliosense: please do
[9:51]  Lydia Milner: ok ths is fogquest. They place large 48sqm meshes on high hills to gather fog and dew and catch the water for dirnking and agriculture
[9:52]  Asterion Coen: oh nm. i though lydia talked about me (to say something) :)
[9:52]  Lydia Milner: :)
[9:52]  Lydia Milner: do you want to say something?
[9:53]  Asterion Coen: nothing that is important
[9:53]  Lydia Milner: lol, ok interupt if you wish anyone :)
[9:53]  Lydia Milner: um these perspex barrelso of water carry a few stats relating to water
[9:53]  You: I lkike that
[9:53]  Asterion Coen: now about my project i hesitated with 2 solutions, the compressor working without electricity, or a pipeline solution from the antartica :)
[9:54]  Lydia Milner: the water they contain is directly in relation to the qty of water that is or could be collected at these sites
[9:54]  Cogito Ultsch: looks great, Lydia :)
[9:54]  Agent Heliosense: hi tommy
[9:54]  Lydia Milner: so you sees that the coutnry with the greatest need, only 83% of kids have safe drininking water, has the greatest postential at this site for water collection
[9:54]  Dancers Yao: yes it's quite wonderful
[9:54]  Carly2000 Snoodle: thank ou for letting me sit in on you rmeeting and learn a little more avout you r project
[9:54]  Lydia Milner: thanks stephe
[9:55]  Lydia Milner: the water bottle man is just me hacing fun :)
[9:55]  Asterion Coen: lydya, about your project, what about evaporation in the maerials/pipelane/oleoducs ?
[9:55]  Agent Heliosense: yvw carly we'll announce for next weeks meeting + classes
[9:55]  You: I like the bottle man, but the hover text is about recycling
[9:55]  Asterion Coen: pipeline*
[9:55]  You: how about " the human body is 98% water" - or whatever
[9:55]  Lydia Milner: but he illustrates how in countries with easy access to water we dont necc take it seriously
[9:56]  Asterion Coen: the prob in some countries is that the hot is not compatible with the liquid water :)
[9:56]  Lydia Milner: yes the recyling relates to the fact that water is used in so many things, eg, it takes (i try to remember) 300 L of water tomake one KG of paper
[9:56]  Asterion Coen: hot/heat ?
[9:56]  Lydia Milner: so to recyle anything ALSO dsaves water
[9:56]  Lydia Milner: this will be explained in the notecard that is given out
[9:56]  Cogito Ultsch: heat, Asterion :)
[9:56]  Asterion Coen: lydya soone it wont be a water prob (excepted pollution) ;)
[9:56]  Asterion Coen: lot of water anywhere in space
[9:56]  Lydia Milner: Asterion there is a lot of data around these projects, some very detailed some very high level. I am including some in teh notecards
[9:56]  Asterion Coen: not the point is to bring it :)
[9:56]  You: ok, got it
[9:57]  Lydia Milner: there are of course issues that if wae dumped say 1 mill meshes around the planet what impact woudl this have on the flora and fauna? but thats an even bigger subject :) and not in this remit :)
[9:58]  Asterion Coen: it was about the cost, in rl about that kind of installtion (if the purpose is about to bring water for a cheap price)
[9:58]  Cogito Ultsch: brb
[9:58]  Lydia Milner: yes i have data on the costs which vary from site to sire, but I cant bring all that into the project
[9:58]  Lydia Milner: the TEch would hve to supply meal breaks and bbeds lol
[9:59]  You: cost is a good Q. Do you have any data on that, Lydia
[9:59]  Asterion Coen: lydya about garden flowers, trees, etc, i got a solution: plastic flowers, trees, etc. :) no ? oh ok
[9:59]  Lydia Milner: yes it varies at the differnet sites
[9:59]  Lydia Milner: lol
[9:59]  Agent Heliosense: Plastic trees and flowers don't need water at all!
[9:59]  Asterion Coen: (that can do with some other material than plastic thought)
[10:00]  You: don't taste so good, though :-(
[10:00]  Lydia Milner: i thought about putting the cost data in, and some other data, but the request was for not too much signage, etc so i have to limit it
[10:00]  Lydia Milner: how is the video coming?
[10:00]  Asterion Coen: steph, they r now doing some nice realistic artificial flowers :)
[10:00]  Agent Heliosense: Except for me "signage man"
[10:00]  You: I will go bug Mr. IT after
[10:00]  TommyJW Ninetails: sorry I missed meeting. Did anyone else see the MIT info on a new catalyst for using electricty to break the 2H2O in 2H2 and O2. Talking about using it to efficently store excess solar power for night use. http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardware/08/07/31/2118234.shtml
[10:01]  Lydia Milner: ok. I have put sllide show in the place we were going ot have the vid

[10:02]  Dancers Yao: it's great Lydia
[10:02]  Lydia Milner: the award was for the moneymaker which costs $75 US

[10:03]  Asterion Coen: i can see some bucks on the ground, coming from it
[10:03]  TommyJW Ninetails: where can I get a note card about this display?
[10:03]  Lydia Milner: the pump manuall is on the counter to illustrate the farmer is now the owener of the pump
[10:03]  Lydia Milner: so up ot the field where the pump is installed pumps water up from the well
[10:03]  Lydia Milner: the bucket is discarded as the pump is much better

[10:05]  TommyJW Ninetails: how about a note card dispensor that outlines what it's about?
[10:05]  Asterion Coen: get back the water u lost using the pump in bottle
[10:05]  Lydia Milner shouts: are you coming?
[10:06]  TommyJW Ninetails shouts: it looks like it's a water collection system - taken from dew .. but who would others know that?
[10:07]  TommyJW Ninetails: how\
[10:07]  You: follow me, folks, over behind to the Barefot College exhibit
[10:07]  Lydia Milner: the solar panel at the back has powered it
[10:07]  Lydia Milner: the clocks at the back will show the diffcce between teh avg day of US student and these students, ashtese work all day and study in the eve when it is dark
[10:08]  Lydia Milner: i have taken two of their study areas, solar panels and geodesic domes
[10:08]  You: should we set out worlds to midnight?
[10:08]  Lydia Milner: the two yellow panels are quizes for the solar panels
[10:08]  Lydia Milner: yes please
[10:08]  Lydia Milner: the lamp is sensored to the 'ground' which is why i am stianding here
[10:09]  Agent Heliosense: how about these dials up overhead
[10:09]  Lydia Milner: you cant rezz plants here so i bult the 'tree' to show that their courses are just as valid as uni here, but that they dont get mortar boards, I wanted ot show thed significane of their achievemnts and this is how we recognise academic learning here
[10:09]  Asterion Coen: (i just got a question about the moveable lamp
[10:09]  Agent Heliosense: sorry those ar clocks
[10:09]  Agent Heliosense: i see
[10:09]  Lydia Milner: yes,not finished
[10:10]  Asterion Coen: what the use of a lamp at midday ? :)
[10:10]  Lydia Milner: the building on right is based on one of their bldgs their architests built, pics will be on the webpage
[10:10]  Lydia Milner: in here will be two quiz q's on the geodesic domes
[10:10]  Lydia Milner: if you roll up and look at the cut out roof you can see how they are built
[10:11]  Agent Heliosense: http://thetechvirtual.org/projects/ucantu-projects/barefoot-brilliance
[10:11]  You: Asterion set your world to midnight (see the sign in front)
[10:11]  Lydia Milner: i have a lot of tech data on teh gedesic domes, makes my head split lol
[10:11]  Asterion Coen: yes
[10:12]  Asterion Coen: i was not talking about SL :)
[10:12]  Lydia Milner: now trying to break that down to be informatiove and managealbe, both for SL and RL
[10:12]  Lydia Milner: either way attention spans are limited
[10:12]  Asterion Coen: im on sunset setting
[10:12]  Lydia Milner: then there will be some kind of notecard giver for each exhb, currently the idea is....
[10:12]  Agent Heliosense: it would be interesting to have a dark gallery inwhich to put such an exhibit
[10:13]  Asterion Coen: (note sunrise is fine too)
[10:13]  Lydia Milner: this one
[10:13]  Lydia Milner: which will give limited info on the backrgounf, with more being on the webpage probably
[10:13]  Lydia Milner: as again ppl dont tend ot read huge notecards in SL
[10:13]  Dancers Yao: amazing work!
[10:13]  Lydia Milner: oh gosh thanks :)
[10:14]  Lydia Milner: this is the most unfinushed
[10:14]  Asterion Coen: nice book :) and easy to bring on the kneews in the subway
[10:14]  Agent Heliosense: Lydia can you help me with one thing, which is do they study at night?
[10:14]  Asterion Coen: *knees
[10:14]  Agent Heliosense: or is it that they made a solar powered lamp in the college?
[10:14]  Agent Heliosense: I'm not sure the night connection
[10:14]  Lydia Milner: they tend to study ont he eve as most work in the fiellds duting the day
[10:14]  Cogito Ultsch: battery is charged during day - used at night
[10:15]  Lydia Milner: not all, as some travel form other areas to stay here for 6 mths and so i guess study all day
[10:15]  Lydia Milner: their webpage is hard ot get the salientfacts from
[10:15]  Agent Heliosense: and the sign here says that the person pictured is a solar engineer, so she put togther the lamp in this college?
[10:15]  Lydia Milner: they do accoutning, handicrafts, teaching, reading, writing,
[10:16]  Lydia Milner: engineering, architecture, medical training, etc
[10:16]  Asterion Coen: einstein at school
[10:16]  Lydia Milner: oh and photpgroahy is another
[10:16]  Agent Heliosense: so this is like a little villiage showing the improvements possible from the college
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: their main site is actually a small town, fully unctioning with sanitorium, i beleive internet, phones etc
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: all solar powered, built by themselves
[10:17]  You: nicetouch, the kicklstart book
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: thanks
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: only done this one and it needs changing
[10:17]  You: you could have a sign in Kickstart: classes offer in the Barefoot college
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: so in the exhb i am trying to just show a 'slice' of that
[10:17]  Lydia Milner: lol, good idea
[10:18]  You: cross pollination
[10:18]  Lydia Milner: i did think of having a market table with some of the handicrafts on it for sale, over where stephe is stainding, as they do sell ocally and also via traidcraft
[10:18]  Lydia Milner: etc
[10:18]  Lydia Milner: huge operation
[10:18]  Agent Heliosense: I like the idea of a mini village with the accompishments shown.

[10:25]  Asterion Coen: back (rl customer at my ofice)
[10:25]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:25]  Asterion Coen: agent, yes if i get time to build my stuff, it will be exposed on that area for sure
[10:25]  Lydia Milner: i think it depends on your media settings
[10:25]  Agent Heliosense: Lets get you a space then
[10:26]  Agent Heliosense: hijerry
[10:26]  Dancers Yao: go to preferences and set them for streaming media
[10:26]  j3rry Paine: Agent ;))
[10:26]  Asterion Coen: brb (customer)
[10:27]  Dancers Yao: there will be links to the other videos that show the stories, then in the center a place to interact and learn about how to create images and stoiries to help change prejudice
[10:27]  Lydia Milner: this looks great dancers :)
[10:28]  Dancers Yao: Stephe can there be the place to send the story without the sign in
[10:28]  You: got smoke im my eyes from the campfire

[10:30]  Cogito Ultsch: Louren - it was nice to meet you :)
[10:30]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:30]  Agent Heliosense: Yesterday it was discussed having people be able to add stories by a wiki-type page
[10:30]  Louren Fiertze: it was nice to meet you, cogito
[10:30]  Dancers Yao: okay...the problem is I don't think they should send the stoires to another web site
[10:30]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:30]  Cogito Ultsch: dropping notecards into the exhibit should work just fine though, right?
[10:30]  Dancers Yao: yes...I put in your link but the web site at the tech...you need to sign in
[10:31]  Agent Heliosense: its maybe a solution for the RL exhibit, it is one idea that could work
[10:31]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:32]  Agent Heliosense: ty jerry
[10:32]  Cogito Ultsch: what about recording video and/or audio testemonies?
[10:32]  Dancers Yao: Agent do you know how to send the stories to the site here and not have to sign in
[10:32]  Universa Vanalten is Online
[10:32]  You: where do you click to go to the campfire stories page?
[10:32]  Agent Heliosense: not at the current time
[10:32]  Dancers Yao: where it says send your story...it works
[10:32]  Agent Heliosense: in an RL exhibit, that could be possible, on a website.
[10:32]  Agent Heliosense: within SL, there may be scripted solutions to adding comments to a board
[10:33]  You: I couldn't get it to work forme
[10:33]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:33]  Dancers Yao: click there....the link is on but here it goes to the web here
[10:33]  Agent Heliosense: sometiems these are available at like onrez.com or slexchange.com and allow notecard or "whiteboard" notes
[10:33]  Agent Heliosense: from anyone
[10:33]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:34]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:34]  Agent Heliosense: or you can shop in-world of course
[10:34]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:34]  Globe for Witness: Touched.
[10:35]  Cogito Ultsch: rbr
[10:35]  Cogito Ultsch: brb
[10:36]  Dancers Yao: globe is interfering with link don't know why now it works
[10:36]  Dancers Yao: now it works to touch center
[10:36]  You: yeah, now it works for me
[10:36]  Dancers Yao: and it will go to the page
[10:37]  Dancers Yao: so now sure how to stop globe interference.....but link works!
[10:37]  You: you can't click through an object - even if it's phantom
[10:37]  SC Ireland is Online
[10:37]  Dancers Yao: okay...but thought it was okay inside it
[10:37]  Dancers Yao: no?
[10:38]  Dancers Yao: I wanted people to go inside the globe
[10:38]  You: I thought so too
[10:38]  You: maybe the click-on text is toohigh
[10:38]  Dancers Yao: maybe globe too small also
[10:38]  Cogito Ultsch: sorry, but I got to go - it was nice to be here :)
[10:39]  Cogito Ultsch: bye
[10:39]  Dancers Yao: bye and thx
[10:39]  You: bye Cogito
[10:40]  Dancers Yao: will change....there will be several links...so has to work with or without globe over it
[10:40]  Dancers Yao: will leave it up for now
[10:40]  Dancers Yao: video still plays thru it
[10:41]  Dancers Yao: maybe we can make an opening in globe
[10:42]  Dancers Yao: thx this was helpful...and let me know if there is a way to open web page..otherwise should tell people maybe to make a notecard to send to someone else or send story to Hub!
[10:44]  Agent Heliosense: Dancers this might be interesting
[10:44]  Agent Heliosense: there is this new service check it out
[10:44]  Agent Heliosense: http://www.twiddla.com/27511
[10:44]  Agent Heliosense: see if we can type on this page at the same time
[10:45]  You: I'll see if I can find a script for you
[10:45]  Agent Heliosense: you have to select "text" at the top then you can type
[10:46]  You: yes, that might work
[10:46]  Agent Heliosense: anyway it is something which may work for this type of thing
[10:46]  Agent Heliosense: i see J3rry
[10:46]  You: well, thnk you Dancers for the tour. I guess we can call the meeting to a close now, no?
[10:47]  Dancers Yao: i saw your note....looks good...couldn't type myself yet
[10:47]  Agent Heliosense: yes Dancers this is really coming along
[10:47]  Agent Heliosense: It has really evolved
[10:47]  Dancers Yao: i did select but will try and learn about it...that might work thx
