future projects and photos!

At left, Brian is doing the hoochey coochey for me and a friend on the roof terrace of the new building.

I took a ton of pictures of the new place but won't post so many here as I think you have all had a chance to visit it. You should all have LMs to the new location....you can delete the one in your inventory that lists Olathe at Talis...we are now at Cybrary City II.

Thank BrianA when you see him...he installed our people counter free of charge.

PHOTOS!!!
Rather than hunt up good pictures to post int he library, how about if we all take turns taking photos with the digital camera? Somebody (me? Hyen? All of us?) will need to learn how to upload them to a hard drive. Next meeting I will teach you all how to upload a texture to SL and h ow to put a texture on a prim. So keep in mind what photos you would like to use that would be representive of us in RL.

FAME AND FORTUNE....
There is a story about our move in RezLibris (http://www.rezlibris.com)

PARTY LIKE A KANSAN!
Rocky, Cindy and I are trying to get a Kansas Day party organized. It would have to be the weekend before Kansas Dayl, as Rocky starts teaching (cataloging) at Emporia the weekend of Kansas Day. So I figure it will be the weekend of Jan. 24. Let me know if you have any ideas for the party. Of course there will be dancing, and someone is making us balloons with sunflowers on them that we can give away. The state library will pay for the balloons. This would be a chance to show off our new buildings etc.

NICODEMUS
The director of the Nicodemus Historical Society will be moving onto Cybrary City II with a Nicodemus build. I am looking into the possibility of getting him or her (not sure about that yet!) to give a Black History Month program for us like we did for Christmas, although this one would be entirely from SL, projected onto a screen at ICB. I'll keep you updated.

NEW TOYS!
I have installed a bulletin board that allows anyone to leave us a message that we can click on and read later. All of you who are members of the Olathe group also have permission to delete messages. Delete by clicking on the message, click on "more" and then "delete." I also installed a pager for myself, and you are welcome to install pagers for yourselves if you decide you want to at some point. It will contact me if I am in world but not at the library. I'm still looking for one that will send me an email. The pager object will also accept notecards. There are teleporters installed for the rooftop areas to the north and south. And on the north roof there is (besides a pink dance ball!) a widescreen TV. Hyen is looking into posting a library video there.
Jukeboxes on the new land are problematic. You can all go to about land, media, and cut and paste in URLs for your favorite music streams. I'll show you more about this when we next meet, or ask me to show you how to do it. Not hard. As soon as I have time I'll give you all notecards with music URLs you can use for different kinds of music.

EXPERIMENT!
You all have the necessary permissions to build on the new parcel so knock yourself out. experiment all you want, just clean up your mess by taking items into your inventory or deleting them. Let me know if you have some additions/modifications you would like to make permanent.....I've been playing aroundwith a flower garden at the back of the building. If we end up needing the prims I can delete all those plants etc. Right now we have about 234 prims remaining to play with.

NEXT MEETING
Need to schedule. Let me know what works for you.....
