[9:02]  Forgimor Biedermann: hm >.>
[9:02]  Forgimor Biedermann: only 4 people today
[9:02]  Forgimor Biedermann: thats a record
[9:02]  Agent Heliosense: so people here will weigh in on what goes there too but mostly it's for building and developing entirely
[9:03]  Cogito Ultsch: Hi Louren :)
[9:03]  Agent Heliosense: so give a try to sketching overhead view and upload something
[9:03]  Agent Heliosense: Hi louren

[9:04]  Agent Heliosense: and third on my list is, archiving....how are you all doing as far as preparing your exhibits for transfer/archive
[9:05]  Alisa Cleanslate: Dancers and I am meeting at 11 to do the work.
[9:05]  Agent Heliosense: fantastico!
[9:06]  Agent Heliosense: I'll gladly be around if i can to assist!
[9:06]  Alisa Cleanslate: thanks, we might need help.
[9:06]  Agent Heliosense: anyone else have exhibit stuff up in this hall
[9:06]  Agent Heliosense: I'll be your best friend if you help me archive your exhibit!
[9:06]  Agent Heliosense: I'll give you a specially built windmill or something
[9:07]  Forgimor Biedermann: lol ^^
[9:07]  Agent Heliosense: I'll give you a car
[9:07]  Forgimor Biedermann: unfortunatly, i dont have any exhibit stuff up o.o
[9:07]  Cogito Ultsch: are you always this generous? (grin)
[9:07]  Agent Heliosense: oh ya!
[9:07]  Agent Heliosense: Forgi your building is getting good
[9:07]  Forgimor Biedermann: :D
[9:08]  Agent Heliosense: next go round it'd be great to see what you come up with
[9:08]  Alisa Cleanslate: Forgimor helped enormously with the Witness project.
[9:08]  Cogito Ultsch: excellend, Forgi :)
[9:08]  Cogito Ultsch: excellent*
[9:08]  Agent Heliosense: were going to have s-p-a-c-e to build
[9:08]  Forgimor Biedermann: Id love to build for an exhibit, not sure id be much help in the researching part though.
[9:08]  Cogito Ultsch: that should decrease the lag, huh?
[9:09]  Agent Heliosense: no worries, its good all around for having building skills
[9:09]  Agent Heliosense: did you know,
[9:09]  Agent Heliosense: it's going to be a lot easier to do media
[9:10]  Agent Heliosense: and build when we can alot parcels
[9:10]  Alisa Cleanslate: Oh, that's great.
[9:10]  Forgimor Biedermann: oooo :o
[9:10]  Agent Heliosense: like we did with Universal Language but wil be easier away from teh main structure
[9:10]  Agent Heliosense: also
[9:10]  Agent Heliosense: Forgi got the rezzer - archiver to work
[9:11]  Agent Heliosense: so i know it's possible
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: ...i did hwta?
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: wat
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: lol
[9:11]  Agent Heliosense: the "controller" the rezzer
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: when did i do that
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: OH
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: that thing
[9:11]  Agent Heliosense: the exhibit moving kit
[9:11]  Forgimor Biedermann: ya no sweat
[9:11]  Alisa Cleanslate: Good work, forgi
[9:12]  Agent Heliosense: it's a little odd at first but once you learn to do it, it is much easier
[9:12]  Agent Heliosense: I wish i could teach it in person - hey maybe I'll do a screen capture
[9:12]  Agent Heliosense: video
[9:12]  Forgimor Biedermann: ooo
[9:12]  Forgimor Biedermann: thatd be good
[9:13]  Forgimor Biedermann: put a little video player in the sandbox at Class times to show em
[9:13]  Agent Heliosense: there are tons of Torley videos, i'm sure you've seen them?
[9:13]  Forgimor Biedermann: yup
[9:13]  Agent Heliosense: good idea
[9:13]  Agent Heliosense: if you didn't already you can buy the kit here on our dinner table
[9:14]  Agent Heliosense: we have 4 courses as you see
[9:14]  Agent Heliosense: the exhibit moving kit has the instructions,
[9:14]  Forgimor Biedermann: 1 sec lemme make a foler for these...
[9:14]  Agent Heliosense: if you let me know anything not clear it will help improve too
[9:16]  Agent Heliosense: so that will be focus - I'll do anything I can to help you archive these,
[9:16]  Agent Heliosense: Why am I so urgent? because I want to get the prim count down on this parcel
[9:16]  Agent Heliosense: and on the sim in general
[9:16]  Forgimor Biedermann: ya no kidding
[9:17]  Forgimor Biedermann: 500 prims isnt alot
[9:17]  Forgimor Biedermann: if your me anyways >.>
[9:17]  Agent Heliosense: its similar to when your hard disk is full!
[9:17]  Alisa Cleanslate: I think we blew the payroll for UCanTu.
[9:17]  Agent Heliosense: you can't move anything and it leads to problems
[9:17]  Agent Heliosense: hehe
[9:18]  Agent Heliosense: hey new class idea..."low prim building"
[9:18]  Forgimor Biedermann: :O
[9:18]  Alisa Cleanslate: Yes, that's a good idea.
[9:19]  Agent Heliosense: any wild ideas on things you'd like to see in the new sim? Like, things you have seen that you'd recommend?
[9:19]  Forgimor Biedermann: hm =/
[9:20]  Forgimor Biedermann: I still dont fully understand what it NEEDS to have and what it CAN have
[9:20]  Alisa Cleanslate: Not wild, but would just enjoy more room between exhibits to build. I almost went bonkers running into other exhibits. Tight space.
[9:20]  Forgimor Biedermann: lotsa building space, that one i know
[9:21]  Alisa Cleanslate: Yay
[9:21]  Cogito Ultsch: since I haven't been part of any projects, the only thing I noticed was the lag in here - but that will be better with mores space
[9:21]  Agent Heliosense: Exactly Alisa
[9:21]  Agent Heliosense: that should be getting much better Cogito
[9:22]  Agent Heliosense: Linden did a blog post saying scripts were going to run faster soon
[9:22]  Agent Heliosense: in addition to new sim that should help!
[9:23]  Cogito Ultsch: ;)
[9:23]  Agent Heliosense: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thetechvirtual/
[9:24]  Agent Heliosense: we have flickr now!
[9:24]  Cogito Ultsch: cool - all projects?
[9:24]  Agent Heliosense: i'm just putting some snapshots up there
[9:24]  Cogito Ultsch: ok
[9:25]  Agent Heliosense: it's not methodical, a free account
[9:25]  Agent Heliosense: I think they give you a few dozen photos at a time that can be hosted
[9:25]  Cogito Ultsch: ah - didn't know that - thought flickr was open and nearly unlimited use
[9:27]  Agent Heliosense: it's limited if free i think
[9:27]  Agent Heliosense: oh wait more news
[9:27]  Agent Heliosense: there will be a press release about the UcanTu winners
[9:27]  Cogito Ultsch: excellent :)
[9:27]  Cogito Ultsch: I thought ALL of the projects were great, btw
[9:28]  Agent Heliosense: yes, the topics got a great range of ideas going
[9:28]  Alisa Cleanslate: I'd love to see what they did on the Teen Grid.
[9:29]  Cogito Ultsch: are your flickr pics including some of those?
[9:29]  Agent Heliosense: the winners are on the blog post with photos
[9:29]  Cogito Ultsch: great :)
[9:30]  Agent Heliosense: otherwise I havent been on the teen grid yet but its in progress
[9:30]  Agent Heliosense: they do great work!
[9:31]  Agent Heliosense: they are enthusiastic builders, it's a small community of folks
[9:31]  Agent Heliosense: what will be interesting is to see if some of you UcanTu designers
[9:32]  Agent Heliosense: continue on with the next set, which (as of now) will be Art-film-music-games
[9:32]  Forgimor Biedermann: brb
[9:32]  Agent Heliosense: not necessarily in that order!
[9:32]  Cogito Ultsch: any more detail on that?
[9:32]  Cogito Ultsch: i.e., - games - existing or create new games?
[9:33]  Agent Heliosense: not yet, I'd say it may be similar to the previous art-film music games back earlier this year but
[9:33]  Agent Heliosense: I'm going to try to get as best instructions I can
[9:33]  Cogito Ultsch: ty :)
[9:33]  Agent Heliosense: if you can make machinima (movies in second life or other games) that should also be part of it
[9:34]  Cogito Ultsch: ok
[9:34]  Agent Heliosense: maybe see if your computer can do it, make movies
[9:34]  Agent Heliosense: some can, some cant', it takes some reearch on the how - to's
[9:34]  Agent Heliosense: whos on pc and who's on mac if i may ask
[9:35]  Forgimor Biedermann: PC
[9:35]  Cogito Ultsch: pc

[9:36]  Agent Heliosense: but i can't do movies on this pc either, some reason
[9:36]  Alisa Cleanslate: Mac. Getting coffeeee.

[9:37]  Alisa Cleanslate: Yes, I plan to do a Machinima of the Witness Project.
[9:37]  Agent Heliosense: wow that would be cool!
