Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: Heh
Plain, simple Garak: Yes, Cassia.
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: I prefer my lovely blue tone
Cassia: (as a final rally point to defend ourselves)
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: yes you can get back in here anytime
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: Just click the leaf above the statues in the temple
Cassia: (How do they do that? I gotta learn to read minds.)
[Entering Locale: View of Space City]

Linsue: Cassia BBQ
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: Linsue and Garak run many games here

Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: I have asked Mr Templeton to join us cassia

Plain, simple Garak: *munch*.....
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: He is the one I think the Chris Fenton wants to see?
Cassia: (Yes possibly)
Mr. Templeton: greetings!
Linsue: Mr T<grin><grin>
Mr. Templeton: Hi Linsue, Hi Garak, cassia, ... and Stig
Cassia: I esp'd but not hopeful he will answer
Mr. Templeton: How was the tour?
Cassia: he goes by splityew here
Linsue: Fun as always
Cassia: Great
Plain, simple Garak: Ah pity the foo who messes wit' Mr. T! <grin>
Cassia: I think i helped liven it up some
Mr. Templeton: heh
Cassia: as i was themain course afterwards
Cassia: LOL
Mr. Templeton: It was a jolly tour
Mr. Templeton: I gather?
Linsue: You were great
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: I was?
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: ty
Linsue: very tasty
Cassia: LOL
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: Who was?
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: Did Shiren get someone then?
Cassia: I basted in chicken broth before i came
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: lol
Linsue: Not you
Linsue: Yuck
Linsue: I dont et anything blue
Cassia: It's the pus boils on his head, not good flavoring
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: It is hard to follow everyone's questions when there are so many ehtusiastic folks on the tour, UI hope I
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: answered all your questions
Linsue: sorry BRB
Mr. Templeton: If they understood you with THAT spelling
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: huh
<ESP from Plain, simple Garak: Is this someone that you know, or just another person on the tour?>
Cassia: Any hoos, Chris is really interested in having lotsof links on objects for interaction by users
<ESP to Plain, simple Garak: she's helping out a potential partner>
<ESP from Plain, simple Garak: Cool.....>
Mr. Templeton: Yes that is possible, though I gather you cannot do it as much with all the objects you buy
Cassia: he is researching an virtual office environment for businesses to use
Mr. Templeton: I thought you could alter the URL on all objects in your turf
Cassia: he isn't focusing on objects you buy
Cassia: on some
Cassia: like the doors, floors and windows
Cassia: and the names of each room
Mr. Templeton: It's certainly possible to add objects to a turf or room that can have links added to them
Mr. Templeton: Many of the places in VZSciFi have links to web sites
Cassia: we were thinking about for instance
Mr. Templeton: Floors, doors, walls etc
Mr. Templeton: The seepweed
[You are now following Mr. Templeton.]
Cassia: clicking on a address book for info, or a calendar for a daily list of things you were to do that day
Linsue: back
Mr. Templeton: Yes that would be possible, but I do not think that currently there is a piece of 'calendar' art
Mr. Templeton: though I may be wrong
Mr. Templeton: It would not be hard to create one but right now there are issues with new art nbeing added to the
Mr. Templeton: server
Linsue: plenty of notes and notebooks though
Plain, simple Garak: Maybe in the lobby of one of the other areas? Like AoD, or something like that?
Plain, simple Garak: Yes, notebooks too.
Mr. Templeton: The other thing is the use of the stickies, like stig's notes -- they could be used
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: brb
Cassia: he is thinking of a separte world i believe for business to use to keep employess updated, or trained or
Cassia: to conduct meetings with
Cassia: I am not sure what all he needs actually
Mr. Templeton: yes, he sent me the outline document
Cassia: They threw him something this morning that has got him busy
Mr. Templeton: This is something VZones has explored and even built various places for business partners
Cassia: That is why he is looking so closely at vzones right now
Mr. Templeton: I am trying to find out if there are still B2B partners on board without much success at present
Linsue: Theres that whole new area of shops to rent
Cassia: that is similar to DS, and is already running over there
Cassia: it's a simple idea really
Mr. Templeton: Companies like Internolix actually had whole aeas built for business partners and there is a finacial area
Mr. Templeton: that was built for Motley Fool...
Mr. Templeton: that was never used in the end
Cassia: I never really thought much about it, till chris mentioned it
Mr. Templeton: I think there is a the potential for business application. VZones is certainly easier to get the hang of than,
Mr. Templeton: say, Cybertown
Linsue: for sure
Mr. Templeton: The only thing that is hard for most folk is the actual downlaod of the software
Cassia: i personally think 2D is better than 3D.
Mr. Templeton: It is the biggest stumbling block to getting authors on board, for eg
Linsue: I find 3d confusing
Mr. Templeton: I agree
Mr. Templeton: I tried cybertown last week and was hopelessly lost
Linsue: I tried it once too
Mr. Templeton: Also, you can't pick objects up in there, which you can here?
Cassia: The movements are strange and it is disorienting
Mr. Templeton: yes
Linsue: and Active Worlds onfuses me even more
Cassia: And the flat view lets you take in your surrounding much easier
Mr. Templeton: However, I have to say that I do prefer the old interface (2.4) which had all the buttons on one screen
Linsue: you can still use it Ihear
Cassia: me too, even though they were clunky looking
Mr. Templeton: They are still on the mac version
Cassia: there is a program that will set them over the button on the interface now
Mr. Templeton: This is something that happens a lot
Linsue: 2.4 is available or d/l
Plain, simple Garak: Yes, I believe it is.
Mr. Templeton: people forget how much time goes into creating an easy to understand GUI
Mr. Templeton: and then try something different without testing it on the users
Cassia: Alot of work
Mr. Templeton: The Mac and Windows interfaces didn't happen overnight, for example
Linsue: and people get so stuck in their ways
Mr. Templeton: Exactly
Cassia: yes, but people by and large are followers
Mr. Templeton: I notice you are part of PHP/Cat, cassia
Cassia: you can lead them easily
Cassia: i get inducted today
Mr. Templeton: Cool
Cassia: and get my tag too
Linsue: yes and they will follow even if they dont like it
Mr. Templeton: I liked the old web tour facility
Mr. Templeton: I think that would be great for education purposes
Linsue: Yes that was great
Mr. Templeton: Again, that was left out of 3.0 because people forgot about it, not because they dropped it for a reason
Mr. Templeton: Bad programming! <grin>
Cassia: Lack of foresight maybe
Mr. Templeton: Still, this place is still the best avatar interface I have used
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: back sorry
Cassia: By far the best and easiest to use
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: going to have to go,
Linsue: Definitely the best looking avis anyway
Cassia: People will try others, and come back after a while.
<ESP from Linsue: awww so soon>
Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: thanks for coming on the tour, gotta rush, probelm at home
Cassia: okies
