Thirza Ember: ok
Thirza Ember: thanks
Mal Burns: yay!
Pathfinder.Lester: success!
Pathfinder.Lester: ty for helping Mata :)
Thirza Ember: you can't take me anywhere, is the moral of this story
Mal Burns: haw haw
Mal Burns: knew that already lol!
Pathfinder.Lester: well, I've seen you on Safari, but I won't tell stories...
Koni Lanzius: hehe
Pathfinder.Lester: what happens on Safari stays on Safari
Thirza Ember: I just try to make everyone else look good
Koni Lanzius: lol
Pathfinder.Lester: i should wear my insanity head...
Mal Burns: you are still wriggling a lot
Mata Hari: possibly related to the fire ant hill under her chair?
 Thirza Ember: dang the wriggling thing you're going to have to live with
Pathfinder.Lester @pathlandia.dlinkddns.com:9000: how do i look?
Koni Lanzius: yikes! `pathfinder!!
Pathfinder.Lester: lol the full avatar is amazing
Mal Burns: ruddy awful iof you want my honest opinion
Pathfinder.Lester: i should go back to my home grid and change. I don't like changing outfits while hypergridding. bad stuff can happen
Pathfinder.Lester :9000: brb
Thirza Ember: Not the insantiy head! that thing freaked me out for the longest time
Megan Liminal: is this where the rosedale presentation is taking place?
Thirza Ember: goodness knows
Mata Hari: yes it is
Megan Liminal: great, ty!
Thirza Ember: i am way more interested in the Nara's Nook party
Thirza Ember: they do erotic fiction, I am surprised everyone is not going
Koni Lanzius: lol
Mal Burns: will be a wee bit late for me
Thirza Ember: like that will stop you
 Koni Lanzius: its 8pm SL right?
Thirza Ember: 2 words -Red Bull
 Mal Burns: 4am for me - no "bull"
Koni Lanzius: ;p
Koni Lanzius: heeeeee's back!
Mal Burns: eek

 Pathfinder.Lester: ah, i feel refreshed
Koni Lanzius: lol
Thirza Ember: oh god it is like being back on futurelab all over again
Pathfinder.Lester: Futurelab and Francogrid. places to get your mind blown
Thirza Ember: This is why we give people weeks of notice before the Safari comes to visit
Mal Burns: someone is gonna accuse you of blocking their view ha ha
Pathfinder.Lester: Mal, yeah, I should probably change again
Koni Lanzius: that av reminds me of that movie "What Dreams May Come" o.O
Thirza Ember: 'Excuse me sir or madam, would you mind removing your hat... I mean head?'
 Pathfinder.Lester: but part of me wants Philip to see me and go "oh man path what the hell..."
Koni Lanzius: heheh
Mal Burns: lol
             So... Phil showed up and just exactly as I predicted, instead of talking about 'What is the metaverse?' he spent the whole time flogging High Fidelity, using a sort of Jobsian mix of tech snobbery and toys for boyishness. The new invention can tell what your face looks like by hearing your voice. 
Probably just as well that we were all in written chat then, huh. Of course, the fangirls bought into it 100%.

 ...so anyway turns out Net Neutrality doesn't matter, the future is rosy, using a Mouse is really hard work, and Phil would like to sell us some sort of way to connect our opensim grids and have our identity, our avie and inventory connected and consolidated via his 'coordinated services'. We will even migrate our standalones into his system, turning them into 'domains'. Wow. Wait, what was that sound? Oh right. ker-ching.
Doesn't sound too open to me, but sadly, Thirza isn't capable of raising her eyebrows, else believe me they would be fully raised. At the end they asked him 'what do you hope to talk about next year's conference?' His answer was that, by then, he hopes to be able to travel with a group of friends, from grid to grid, in a matter of seconds, experiencing the wonders of different worlds. Like some sort of ...Hypergridding club, perhaps? Sounds very futuristic and fun. I wonder how much he will be charging...

  1. I can't decide if Thirza is the Snark Queen or the Snarknado.
