Marie Sutherland:
Working late, actually.
Roger Telco:
hello dr sutherland (12/25 04:38:19) BrettM: Maybe on the Gallery doors? (12/25 04:38:51) Abjab: Do I get in ther fron the roof Jump ? (12/25 04:39:07) BrettM: I don’t think that’s DRC approved. B-)
Marie Sutherland:
I believe Michael Enberg is working on the Gallery Doors.
BrettM:
Ah. I noticed you visited Kadish Tolesa.
Marie Sutherland:
Definitely not DRC approved. :D
Roger Telco:
that will be great when it happens. always wanted to see that open from city. (12/25 04:40:06) BrettM: Yes, an exciting prospect. (12/25 04:40:51) Roger Telco: there is a mike and podium over near tent … will the DRC be able to use that for meetings some day?
Marie Sutherland:
Well, I just wanted to say hi and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
Hitana:
have a nice chritmas day (12/25 04:41:04) Roger Telco: you too Doctor S. (12/25 04:41:04) BrettM: Thank you. (12/25 04:41:10) Hitana: christmas (12/25 04:41:26) Link9: Merry Christmas to all (12/25 04:41:36) BrettM: Don’t work too late. Relax a bit.
Marie Sutherland:
Roger, yes, that was the plan several years ago. I’m not sure if they still work. Maybe we’ll get a chance to try them in the near future.
Hitana:
hello marie!
Marie Sutherland:
Hello, Hitana
Hitana:
something new for us explorers :)
Marie Sutherland:
Um....
Marie Sutherland:
Hmm…
Marie Sutherland:
I’m too tired to be clever. :D
BrettM:
We appreciate having the imagers back, anyway. (12/25 04:44:27) Roger Telco: we don’t mean to ambush you … thanks for your hard work
Marie Sutherland:
I’m glad that Victor got them ready
BrettM:
Now, if Mr. Engberg can only fix the fountains … B-)
Marie Sutherland:
You’re very welcome. Thank you all for your patience.
Hitana:
yes everything new is nice, just if its a little thing (12/25 04:45:46) Roger Telco: btw it is good to see the reseng tours so well attended (12/25 04:45:52) Hitana: thanks for beeing here so late marie (12/25 04:46:01) BrettM: Yes, that is a great outreach program! (12/25 04:46:16) Hitana: wish i could join it Sad
Marie Sutherland:
I’ve heard good things about the tours, and heard a few comments from hecklers.
BrettM:
Even many of the experienced explorers have been attending. (12/25 04:46:37) Roger Telco: ? (12/25 04:47:02) Hitana: too late on this side of the world then
Marie Sutherland:
Nothing tragic, but we’ll probably have to set some guidelines at some point…
Marie Sutherland:
So that the tours are available to those who need them most.
Marie Sutherland:
I only heard something from someone who heard something from someone who heard something from one of the resEngs
Roger Telco:
Dr S., I am a bit worried about scalability of Ae’gura – several times we have filled up to 40 people and others cannot get in. (12/25 04:48:44) BrettM: I think the Liaisons could help spread that word.
Marie Sutherland:
So we need to look into it more and find out what actually happened.
Marie Sutherland:
All in good time, Roger.
Roger Telco:
Just mentioning it for DRC to think about, I fear the very popularity of Aegura will be an issue. (12/25 04:49:38) Hitana: thats right, the legs are not that good (12/25 04:49:49) Hitana: lags (12/25 04:49:52) BrettM: More traffic seems to be going to the hoods these days, as they get established.
Marie Sutherland:
As it should be, BrettM :D
Roger Telco:
Yes, both the GoG and Beginner hoods have been busy the last couple of days. (12/25 04:51:44) BrettM: Once there are more attractions in the hoods, like heek, that should help. (12/25 04:52:18) Hitana: may you say something about this downloading thing marie? (12/25 04:52:38) Kai-Uwe: Dr. Sutherland, are you on duty here during the Xmas-days ore can you spend some time with your familiy? (12/25 04:52:42) Roger Telco: I have this vision of the classroom imagers becoming the future “big screen tv” for all DRC events to be televised (12/25 04:52:49) BrettM: Yes, can Mr. Laxman get that cleared out of the lattice?
Marie Sutherland:
Yes, and once more areas of the city are open again, I’m sure Victor will be tweaking the…
Roger Telco:
would allow people to participate from the hoods. (12/25 04:53:02) Roger Telco: (someday)
Marie Sutherland:
settings in the nexus.
Hitana:
that sounds nice
Marie Sutherland:
Victor is aware of the “Downloading” issue, but has more important things on his plate.
Hitana:
lol i can guess so (12/25 04:53:54) Arreaon: So i’ve never been so the Ferry Terminal before (12/25 04:54:07) BrettM: I’m sure he still has many aftereffects to deal with from the 19th. (12/25 04:54:12) Hitana: what about the new ages?
Marie Sutherland:
Welcome to Ae’gura then, Arreaon.
Hitana:
yeah that scream…
Marie Sutherland:
BrettM, Indeed he does, as do we all.
Hoe KanDat:

Marie Sutherland:
Hoe KanDat, no new news. We hope to have more areas open in the not too distant future.
Hitana:

Marie Sutherland:

Marie Sutherland:
Arreaon, I don’t have a specific time frame to give. Whenever it’s ready.
Hoe KanDat:
Would like to help investigate this instance thing Mr. Laxman talked about in that way (12/25 04:58:30) Aleks: Any new word on the “instancing,” by the way? Are we any closer to understanding what’s going on? (12/25 04:58:31) BrettM: Have you seen the flowchart VidKid did on the instancing situation?
Marie Sutherland:
Hoe KanDat, we are hoping to have the Gallery doors open later this week.
Kai-Uwe:

(12/25 05:00:25) Arreaon: I also have 10,000 years of D’ni history to catch up…or at least Brett tells me so
Marie Sutherland:

Hitana:

Marie Sutherland:
Victor and I work together. We’ve known each other many years now. :)
Hitana:
you dont have to be sorry for that (12/25 05:02:47) Curty: Oh I see (12/25 05:04:10) Hoe KanDat: Miss( Mrs?) Sutherland, do you know a person named Bishop by the way?
Marie Sutherland:
Bye, Arreaon. Nice to meet you.
Arreaon:
Nice to meet you too
Marie Sutherland:
Hoe KanDat, I don’t recognize the name, sorry.
Arreaon:
I look forward to a beautiful city Dr. Sutherland (12/25 05:05:04) BrettM: Yes, a very strange person calling himself “Bishop” has been seeking Dr. Kodama. (12/25 05:05:28) Hoe KanDat: He was in a few days ago asking for ‘dr KOdama, according to some messages on the boards
Marie Sutherland:
I will let Dr. Kodama know, the next time I see him.
Hitana:

Marie Sutherland:

Marie Sutherland yawns
Hoe KanDat:
