Megan: Hi Brian |
|
19:47
Brian: hello again megan |
|
19:47
Brian: for some reason i
thought that we were group D |
|
19:47
Megan: how is it going? |
|
19:47
Megan: lol |
|
19:48
Brian: going good, trying to figure out exactly how
I want to present the instructional area on movement |
|
19:48
Megan: that is kind of a tough one |
|
19:49
Brian: i found a video
that was really good on teleporting, but feel like I could do a better job of
using camtasia to create my own video on walking
around, swimming, etc |
|
19:49
Megan: nice |
|
19:49
Brian: not sure if it is possible for each of the
methods, but i want to allow them to practice the
actions after they finish the video |
|
19:50
Brian: for example, actually teleporting to a
specific location... maybe teleporting somewhere where they can practice
swimming |
|
19:50
Megan: that sounds completely possible |
|
19:50
Brian: two for the price of one |
|
19:51
Brian: in terms of Pams
screen on the first floor that has multiple links built in... |
|
19:51
Brian: To create a screen with multiple video
options do you simply create a larger background screen and add small flat prims that have hyperlink scripts built into each? |
|
19:51
Megan: I think that that sounds like a possibility, but you may way to ask pam about that tonight |
|
19:52
Megan: Hi Matt |
|
19:52
Matthew: hi there |
|
19:52
Matthew: how are you both |
|
19:52
Brian: hi matt |
|
19:52
Megan: How is it going? |
|
19:52
Matthew: its going |
|
19:52
Megan: I am rebuilding the welcome sign and area. I logged on today to find
it missing |
|
19:52
Brian: doing well... the warmer sun sure helped
today |
|
19:53
Matthew: thats weird |
|
19:53
Brian: really? That is crazy |
|
19:53
Megan: What is it like there? |
|
19:53
Matthew: that the sign is gone |
|
19:53
Megan: We were in the mid 80s today |
|
19:53
Matthew: sunny 70ish here |

19:53
Megan: nice |
|
19:53
Brian: where do you live megan? |
|
19:53
Matthew: it was nice |
|
19:54
Megan: Fort Collins, CO. I am an hour north of Denver, half hour south of
Cheyenne, WY |
|
19:54
Brian: i guess that means
the weather is on its way to us |
|
19:55
Matthew: 80s tomorrow i hope since I will spend the
night out ata track meet |
|
19:55
Megan: lol |

19:56
Matthew: I need to catch up with everything |
|
19:58
Megan: I'm doing that tomorrow at school. my kids r
going to the hs to check it out |
|
19:58
Matthew: I have a question for you both, for
building should I focus more on the things that we did in class? I am not
sure how important the drawers and such will be |
|
19:58
Pam: Hey! |
|
19:58
Matthew: hi |
|
19:58
Brian: hi pam |
|
19:59
Megan: Hi Pam |
|
19:59
Pam: Office hours got out early? |
|
19:59
Megan: yeah |
|
19:59
Megan: It was Trish, Lorikay, Tony and myself |
|
19:59
Brian: pam thanks for the
heads up on how to access the code |
|
19:59
Pam: Everybody's busy doing homework |
|
19:59
Pam: Welcome! |
|
19:59
Brian: i never realized
that you gained access once you copied |
|
19:59
Megan: Trish and I asked some questions and I have some news to report once
Trish and Patrick get here |
|
20:00
Pam: Somebody told me about it. |
|
20:00
Pam: Just passing it on. |
|
20:00
Matthew: Thanks |
|
20:00
Brian: thank you!!! |
|
20:00
Pam: Thanks Megan |
|
20:01
Matthew: I like the way you set up the billboards pam |
|
20:01
Pam: I was worried the place wouldn't look "full" but I think it
will be ok |
|
20:01
Megan: oh speaking of which. Pam, do you know anything about the welcome area
outside of your space? It was missing when I logged on today. |
|
20:02
Matthew: most definately |
|
20:02
Pam: No, Megan. I didn't notice that area. |
|
20:02
Pam: The whole thing? |
|
20:02
Megan: yeah. I almost have it all rebuilt now. |
|
20:02
Megan: I just have to put back up the sign. |
|
20:02
Pam: The welcome area in the center? |
|
20:02
Pam: Yikes! |
|
20:03
Megan: No, the welcome sign in front with the trees and bushes |
|
20:03
Pam: Would have thought I'd have notice that, but i
didin't |
|
20:03
Pam: sorry |
|
20:04
Megan: no big. Luckily that area goes up pretty easily |
|
20:04
Pam: The only people I've seen in there are you and Tony and Brain |
|
20:04
Pam: Brian |
|
20:04
Megan: me too |
|
20:04
Brian: other then copying our prims, is there anything else
we can do to save them from deletion? |
|
20:05
Megan: it really isnt' a big deal. I was just
wondering what had happened |
|
20:05
Pam: I don't think so. |
|
20:05
Pam: I know at first people didn't know that take would remove it but now I
think they're all using take a copy |
|
20:06
Megan: We can lock them but I'm not sure if that stops take and delete |
|
20:06
Brian: take a copy does not remove the object
though? |
|
20:06
Pam: Well, it's worth a try |
|
20:06
Pam: No take a copy doesn't remove it |
|
20:06
Pam: Go to more then take a copy |
|
20:06
Brian: just take does |
|
20:06
Pam: right |
|
20:06
Matthew: if you just take it goes away |
|
20:07
Pam: I learned that by accidentally taking someone's bush. uckily I could just put it back
easily. |
|
20:07
Pam: Luckily |
|
20:07
Pam: Surprised me! |
|
20:07
Brian: i luckily took a
copy of my house, so I was able to replace it when someone accidentally
deleted half of it while i was gone |
|
20:08
Megan: that happened to me too. my first went
completely missing |
|
20:08
Megan: but i hadn't taken a copy of it |
|
20:08
Pam: Wow. A house! |
|
20:08
Trish: hello everyone. |
|
20:08
Brian: hey trish |
|
20:08
Megan: hey trish |
|
20:08
Megan: cool, we are just waiting on Patrick now |
|
20:08
Pam: hey |
|
20:09
Trish: i left metaverse
to scrub my bathroom. SL is sometimes much better than RL! |
|
20:09
Brian: haha |
|
20:09
Megan: I will be back in 2 minutes. When Patrick gets here I will share what
Tony had to say. |
|
20:09
Matthew: in a rare instance haha |
|
20:09
Pam: It sure is and I can gain and lose weight whenever I want |
|
20:10
Pam: or change my hair color |
|
20:10
Pam: and nobody messed up my house |
|
20:10
Trish: with a simple slide of a bar. |
|
20:10
Pam: glorious |
|
20:10
Megan: too funny. I want to lose weight. This whole baby weight thing is
crummy |
|
20:10
Pam: it is awful |
|
20:10
Trish: it will go away soon. |
|
20:10
Pam: I gained 90 pounds with my first - bad idea |
|
20:10
Trish: besides, you're too busy to eat! |
|
20:10
Pam: It will. If I got rid of mine you can get rid of yours! |
|
20:11
Pam: Nature pretty much puts it on and takes it off |
|
20:11
Pam: I think we moms need reserves to take care of little ones |
|
20:11
Trish: very true, |
|
20:12
Pam: big storm here |
|
20:12
Megan: ok, I'm back |
|
20:12
Pam: if i lose power you'll know what happened |
|
20:12
Trish: where are you? |
|
20:12
Pam: the lights just flashed |
|
20:12
Megan: lol. I gained 60 |
|
20:12
Pam: east peoria |
|
20:12
Trish: ah, I just checked th radar and saw the
storm. |
|
20:12
Pam: two scared dogs |
|
20:12
Trish: I think it will just skim me. |
|
20:12
Pam: it is pouring here |
|
20:12
Pam: wind and lightning |
|
20:13
Trish: I love thinderstorms! |
|
20:13
Megan: yipes |
|
20:13
Pam: i do too but no battery backup for internet |
|
20:13
Matthew: i hope thats not
coming north |
|
20:13
Trish: Except my nearly new roof keeps springing new leeks. |
|
20:13
Megan: we are entering into a beautiful sunset and it is now in the upper 70s |
|
20:13
Trish: not leeks, leaks. |
|
20:13
Pam: new with leaks? |
|
20:13
Trish: leeks on the roof would be silly. |
|
20:13
Pam: lol |
|
20:14
Megan: hehe |
|
20:14
Trish: Megan, I guess the blizzard is resolved then? |
|
20:14
Brian: i didn't realize
that we were going to even get rain tonight let alone a thunderstorm |
|
20:14
Pam: me neither |
|
20:14
Megan: hehe yeah |
|
20:14
Pam: did Tony tell you he upgraded the server? |
|
20:14
Trish: It's headed towards the west subs. |
|
20:14
Trish: It's headed towards the west subs. |
|
20:14
Pam: i ran into him today and he told me that |
|
20:14
Megan: it is crazy around here. the day after the
blizzard it was in the 50s and then the next day in the 70s |
|
20:15
Pam: we went from 50s to70s and tomorrow 88! |
|
20:15
Megan: yeah we were in the mid 80s today |
|
20:15
Pam: unless that's been changed with the storm |
|
20:15
Trish: the children will be crazed! |
|
20:15
Megan: where is west peoria? |
|
20:15
Pam: I think it's just the west end of Peoria |
|
20:16
Megan: k, where is peoria? |
|
20:16
Pam: east peoria's on the other side of the river
from Peoria |
|
20:16
Pam: The storm is moving fast. |
|
20:17
Megan: What area of the state? north, south... near chicago? I really have no idea unless it is along I-80 |
|
20:17 Pam:
storm but not so violent |
|
20:17
Pam: middle of the state |
|
20:17
Pam: South of I 80 |
|
20:17
Pam: North of springfield |
|
20:17
Megan: gotcha |
|
20:17
Pam: but closer to springfield than chicago |
|
20:17
Megan: I have only been through Illinois on 80 and 70 |
|
20:17
Pam: 45 minutes from isu |
|
20:18
Pam: i used to live in the chicago
area |
|
20:18
Pam: love it here - no traffic and grass instead of concrete |
|
20:18
Megan: I've been to the town with Kraft |
|
20:18
Pam: ? |
|
20:18
Megan: Glen something or another |
|
20:18
Megan: Glenbrook I think |
|
20:18
Megan: Hi Patrick |
|
20:18
Pam: Oh! |
|
20:19
Trish: There are many Glens in these parts. |
|
20:19
Pam: hi patrick |
|
20:19
Matthew: yea thats glenbrook |
|
20:19
Pam: there are a lot |
|
20:19
Patrick: sorry ... game ran late due to gang issues |
|
20:19
Matthew: my dad works at the hotel across from kraft |
|
20:19
Megan: I had a college boyfriend that was from there. |
|
20:19
Matthew: gang issues? wow |
|
20:19
Megan: wow, Gang issues? |
|
20:19
Trish: GDs? |
|
20:19
Trish: Latin Kings> |
|
20:20
Patrick: YES ... a predominantly black school with their gang signs came into
our predominantly hispanic neighborhood and we have
our own gangs |
|
20:20
Megan: wow, small world Matt |
|
20:20
Trish: not good. |
|
20:20
Matthew: yea really |
|
20:21
Megan: this group has some strange connections |
|
20:21
Brian: way too much of that around here and i had similar issues in nyc |
|
20:21
Trish: Megan, did you want to go over what we discussed with Tony? |
|
20:21
Megan: yeah |
|
20:22
Megan: Alright, so Trish and I were talking to Tony
about the media on our parcel. |
|
20:22
Megan: We were wondering how to have multiple music and video streams on the
land. |
|
20:22
Megan: Tony suggested that he could make one person the owner of the land and
then we could control that. |
|
20:23
Trish: only the land owner can add the URLs to the
land. |
|
20:23
Megan: Furthermore, what we can do is subdivide our land and match people up
with subparcels to own |
|
20:23
Pam: makes sense |
|
20:23
Patrick: I thought we were going to use youtube to
get around that? |
|
20:23
Megan: that way they have full access |
|
20:23
Megan: this is another option |
|
20:24
Megan: this way people can choose whatever they are comfortable with |
|
20:24
Pam: tony isn't worried about the server load? He upgraded today. |
|
20:24
Pam: so maybe it isn't an issue now |
|
20:24
Megan: he doesn't seem to be |
|
20:24
Brian: is it possible to control multiple video
streams on the same local area? |
|
20:25
Megan: There is one minor kink to it. |
|
20:25
Pam: he was talking about setting up the ability to talk instead of type |
|
20:25 Megan:
yeah Brian |
|
20:25
Matthew: could that get to confusing if multiple streams are playing at once? |
|
20:25
Megan: you can set when it plays |
|
20:25
Brian: that was the problem i
ran into in my house... two screens = two sounds at the same time |
|
20:25
Pam: what kink |
|
20:25
Trish: I was planning to do touch to play scripts so they're not all runnin. |
|
20:25
Megan: ok, so each subparcel works vertically |
|
20:26
Brian: that would get around that issue trish |
|
20:26
Megan: so, if Pam is running a video on the first floor, Brian cannot have a
video streaming in the same fashion directly above Pams |
|
20:27
Megan: However he can have one streams slightly off to the side of Pams, provided it is on a different subdivided area |
|
20:27
Pam: I'm ok with not streaming |
|
20:27
Megan: That shouldn't really be an issue seeing as we could do them
vertically, one through youtube and one through the
land |
|
20:27
Megan: does that make sense? |
|
20:27
Pam: Going out to a www is fine with me |
|
20:27
Trish: y |
|
20:28
Patrick: OK with me |
|
20:28
Matthew: yea i like external links best |
|
20:28
Megan: So I told Tony that I would email him with the person he should give
the initial permission to. |
|
20:28
Brian: nice to have both options... and we should
probably incorporate both |
|
20:29
Pam: Will new people know to control the streaming at the bottom of their
screen |
|
20:29
Pam: plus they have to enable the streaming video |
|
20:29
Brian: but at least the externals will make life
easier for the way the house is set up |
|
20:29
Pam: some of us had trouble figuring that out |
|
20:29
Megan: right, we can include directions for that in the welcome center |
|
20:29
Trish: Megan, were you going to parcel our land? |
|
20:29
Pam: sounds good |
|
20:29
Megan: So that is what I was going to propose |
|
20:29
Patrick: a streaming vid about streaming media? |
|
20:30
Megan: I can tell Tony that I will take the initial ownership and then I will
subdivide it and assign owners |
|
20:30
Patrick: OK with that |
|
20:30
Megan: No, like a notecard about streaming media |
|
20:30
Pam: works for me |
|
20:30
Trish: very good. |
|
20:30
Patrick: still OK with it |
|
20:31
Megan: cool |
|
20:31
Matthew: thats fine |
|
20:31
Megan: Along similar lines.... |
|
20:31
Megan: I am making a drop box for my SLA and I was thinking that it might be
a great idea to have a questions box in each section where people could
submit questions. Then we could put up bulletin boards with answers to FAQ |
|
20:32
Megan: I know that Pam already has something across from the elevator, but I
was thinking that we could put the FAQ bulletin boards up across from the
elevators on each floor |
|
20:32
Brian: do you mean have one bulletin board or one in
each section? |
|
20:33
Patrick: Perfect - I think my board is already up! |
|
20:33
Megan: one in each section, specific to that content |
|
20:33
Trish: Who would answer the questions for future users? |
|
20:33
Megan: everyone's thoughts? |
|
20:34
Megan: I was thinking that if Tony continues to use this area then he could |
|
20:34
Pam: good questoin trish |
|
20:34
Patrick: To Trish's question .... are
we anticipating FAQ or are we leaving it there for future generations to help
each other |
|
20:34
Megan: or ask Jin to |
|
20:34
Matthew: I think that would be good for Tonby |
|
20:34
Trish: we should check with tony. He might want to stick to the forum. |
|
20:34
Matthew: or a TA |
|
20:34
Pam: i don't like the idea that someone might not
get answered |
|
20:34
Pam: do you think they'd keep up on all the boards? |
|
20:34
Matthew: maybe we could just use it to link to the forum |
|
20:35
Megan: I think a TA would |
|
20:35
Trish: I think a link to the forum would be better. |
|
20:35
Patrick: and to the FAQ section of the CTER main site (which has SL
tutorials) |
|
20:35
Megan: yeah |
|
20:35
Pam: I like that idea |
|
20:35
Trish: the boards would be cool and all that jazz, but I won't be checking |
|
20:35
Megan: cool cool |
|
20:35
Patrick: and maybe some of those external links that Pam sent |
|
20:35
Brian: neat idea, especially if future groups would
use it to help eachother |
|
20:35
Megan: So boards that link to the forum |
|
20:36
Patrick: so, we would be tracking down the FAQ elsewhere and providing a
bulletin board full of helpful links |
|
20:36
Brian: our forum is password protected though right? |
|
20:36
Megan: yeah it is |
|
20:36
Brian: so future classes wouldn't be able to see it?
or maybe its the same board tied to all classes? |
|
20:37
Pam: what about a wiki page |
|
20:37
Megan: We could just post some FAQ |
|
20:37
Megan: I can ask Tony some of these things |
|
20:37
Pam: people could ask and answer q's |
|
20:37
Matthew: well if we set it up to go to the forum, future classes could change
the script to the new website |
|
20:37
Patrick: if other Profs are going to start using the metaverse
- the FAQ might get its own section like the current Tech Support forum |
|
20:38
Pam: can i just add the faq
link(s) to the board i have? it
took a long time to set up the clickable areas and the only free space i have is for my scavenger hunt |
|
20:38
Megan: sure |
|
20:38
Pam: thanks |
|
20:39
Megan: oh, speaking of which... |
|
20:39
Megan: Pam, thanks for pointing out the areas for
the notecard boxes. Would you mind if I placed them
on the nearest column instead of floating over the images |
|
20:39
Megan: Or would you prefer them floating? |
|
20:40
Megan: It doesn't matter to me |
|
20:40
Pam: If everyone is putting them on a column i can
do the same |
|
20:40
Pam: i just wanted to get the notecards
up and wasn't sure how we'd be doing something uniform |
|
20:40
Megan: One of my duties was to design a notecard
box |
|
20:41
Brian: i don't have a
column on the third floor, but we could come up with a similar idea |
|
20:41
Megan: I will have it up tonight |
|
20:41
Pam: yep so i knew what i
made was probably temporary |
|
20:41
Megan: Yeah, we could have them just below or next to objects on the floor |
|
20:41
Pam: it'll be easy to put the script and notecard
in another object |
|
20:42
Pam: doesn't matter to me |
|
20:42
Megan: ok, well everyone do what you feel is best
and we can look at them again in the future. |
|
20:43
Pam: how will we get the boxes |
|
20:43
Pam: can you put one out somewhere for us all to take a copy |
|
20:43
Megan: I will put on in each space. then just make
copies |
|
20:43
Matthew: looks are easy to change if we decide we like one persons and want
to change to that format |
|
20:43
Pam: thanks |
|
20:43
Megan: no problem |
|
20:43
Trish: great. |
|
20:43
Brian: okay, thanks |
|
20:44
Megan: Pam, I placed the pool in the back area as well as the sandbox |
|
20:44
Pam: i saw that and took a swim! |
|
20:44
Pam: do you want a sign and a notecard for that |
|
20:44
Brian: awesome, i could
teleport to the pool for them to practice swimming |
|
20:44
Megan: Brian, perhaps in your area when you talk about swimming there can be
a teleport to the pool |
|
20:44
Megan: I will do that |
|
20:44
Pam: k |
|
20:44
Megan: hehe, great minds think alike |

20:44

20:45
Megan: cool.... anything else? |
|
20:45

when you said i will do that - or another
conversation |
|
20:46
Megan: I will take care of the pool sign. |
|
20:46
Megan: This way all of the signage will look uniform |
|
20:47
Brian: Megan, is it alright
to get my screen shots to you later on Saturday or does that inconvenience
you? |
|
20:47
Pam: k I just want to say that Tony complimented us (Megan!) on the building
and I also want to say how wonderful the elevators are! |
|
20:47
Megan: no that is fine Brian |
|
20:47
Megan: Thanks PAm |

20:48
Megan: Thanks guys. That means a lot! |
|
20:48

20:48

20:49
Megan: screen shots of your progress.... whatever that takes |
|
20:49
Pam: k |
|
20:49
Megan: Also... |
|
20:49
Brian: matt, what are your thoughts on
dividing/creating the area we are sharing? Can I focus on my section through
Saturday and maybe even Sunday then move down to the first floor after that?
Maybe meet again or email how we want to create it |
|
20:50 Megan:
I added a section to the wiki called Progress. It is broken into weeks. Each
day that you do work in there can you just add a
little blurb. I did a couple of days as an example |
|
20:50
Brian: sorry megan, didn't
mean to jump in if you had more |
