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.)

Stig Redfin of the Ukrann: I hope you enjoyed my little tour and will come to VZSciFi again

Linsue: Cassia BBQ

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

Plain, simple Garak: Guess we're having Cassia over for dinner tonight... <grin>

Cassia: I'd fall over, but the spear is holding me in place

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
