(03/12 17:40:18) Jules Lavisham: Something along those lines. I teach Classical Civilizations on the surface.
(03/12 17:40:28) Malaclypse goes into a Kink song…
(03/12 17:40:31) westar: oh nice
(03/12 17:40:33) Malaclypse: Kinks
(03/12 17:40:34) Carl Palmner: Ohhhh, cool!
(03/12 17:40:36) cile: thats very interesting :)
(03/12 17:40:50) Malaclypse: What are you teaching them? :P
(03/12 17:41:08) Carl Palmner: I’ve been studying Sumeria and Ancient Persia. But it’s purely armchair stuff. No classes or anything.
(03/12 17:41:23) Jules Lavisham: Tried to get D’ni on the syllabus way back in 2007. Missed my window when the last restoration folded, unfortunately.
(03/12 17:41:25) Carl Palmner: Where do you teach?
(03/12 17:41:34) angelmyst: Good background info for story lines.
(03/12 17:42:09) Jules Lavisham: The RNU. Obscure little institution in the UK, don’t even think it has a web presence.
(03/12 17:42:18) Calum Traveler reminisces on the year 2007 for a bit…
(03/12 17:42:24) Carl Palmner: I thought I detected a British accent.
(03/12 17:42:30) cile: lol
(03/12 17:42:36) Jet Blast: Lol
(03/12 17:42:47) Jules Lavisham: Something of a catch-all for lots of strange fields that don’t make their way into the red-brick institutions.
(03/12 17:42:57) Carl Palmner: That sounds like my kind of place.
(03/12 17:43:02) Calum Traveler: heh
(03/12 17:43:33) Calum Traveler: meanwhile here i am without a degree in sight.
(03/12 17:43:39) Calum Traveler sips at chocolate milk a bit
(03/12 17:43:44) Jules Lavisham: I seem to remember your name doing the rounds back in the day
(03/12 17:43:57) Jules Lavisham: Wait, that’s it. The Heritage Documents, right?
(03/12 17:44:01) Calum Traveler: yep,
(03/12 17:44:04) Carl Palmner: Well, I’Heh, yeah.
(03/12 17:44:09) Calum Traveler: Carl and I started that, back in the day,
(03/12 17:44:17) Carl Palmner: Yup.
(03/12 17:44:20) cile: :)
(03/12 17:44:20) Calum Traveler: hard to believe that HN was 10 years ago
(03/12 17:44:35) Calum Traveler gets a strange look on face for a moment, and gazes out at lake…
(03/12 17:44:39) Jules Lavisham: Wonderful resource, that. Was very happy when they made their way into the Chiso library.
(03/12 17:44:48) Carl Palmner: We both found ourselves sharing stories of the “good ol’ days” with new explorers like old grandpas on the porch, and the new folks loved it.
(03/12 17:45:05) Polamalu IV: if you’re into that, then you would like “the Lost Art” series that my team has been working on for the past 10+ years
(03/12 17:45:17) angelmyst: Well…the Good ol’ days were good.
(03/12 17:45:28) Carl Palmner: So I had this idea for doing it more formally, and Calum was on board pretty much as soon as I mentioned it. We were always hoping to get more people involved, but it ended up being just him and me doing the lectures.
(03/12 17:45:30) cile: yep the lost art is very nice
(03/12 17:45:41) angelmyst: The Lost Art…is it on YouTube?
(03/12 17:45:44) Calum Traveler: love me some Lost Art, it’s a great series
(03/12 17:45:47) Carl Palmner: And then I left after the first cycle, and Calum kept it going.
(03/12 17:45:49) westar: that is right angel
(03/12 17:45:53) Calum Traveler: three years, that.
(03/12 17:46:03) Carl Palmner: Yeah–that was pretty awesome, man.
(03/12 17:46:03) Polamalu IV: yep I voiced Elias Branch in the Prologue episode
(03/12 17:46:06) Carl Palmner: You stuck with it.
(03/12 17:46:08) angelmyst: It was good
(03/12 17:46:17) Carl Palmner: Me, I just wanted to tell the story once and pass the torch.
(03/12 17:46:23) Tressa: brb
(03/12 17:46:24) Carl Palmner: And Calum’s lectures are awesome.
(03/12 17:46:35) Calum Traveler: awh, thanks.
(03/12 17:46:37) Carl Palmner: Oh, man, I just looked at the time.
(03/12 17:46:39) Jules Lavisham: It’s some fantastic work. Definitely a godsend for the new explorers joining us now.
(03/12 17:46:53) Carl Palmner: I was going to drop by karaoke, but I gotta Link to the surface and get dinner.
(03/12 17:47:05) Carl Palmner: Coming back at 7 KI time though to introduce a friend to the cavern.
(03/12 17:47:08) angelmyst: dinner….mmmmmmm
(03/12 17:47:13) Calum Traveler: i need to write up some summaries for recent events, i think,
(03/12 17:47:15) Choupest: Have a nice dinner carl
(03/12 17:47:18) angelmyst: I made a big batch of fries…lol
(03/12 17:47:21) Calum Traveler: have a nice dinner :)
(03/12 17:47:26) angelmyst: Im addicted to fries.
(03/12 17:47:27) Jules Lavisham: Excellent. It’s past midnight for me, so I’m going to be turning in soon.
(03/12 17:47:37) Calum Traveler: ah, yeah, pleasant dreams, Jules, :)
(03/12 17:47:41) Carl Palmner: Yeah, I’m on a strict dinner schedule now, due to medication. I almost died 2 years ago and I have to take a ton of pills for the rest of my life…it’s a whole thing.
(03/12 17:47:49) Malaclypse: Teriyaki duck breast, wokked veggies and rice were served here earlier…
(03/12 17:47:51) Carl Palmner: But I get to keep being alive! :D
(03/12 17:47:56) Jules Lavisham: Body is still very much attuned to GMT, and I’m still recovering from conferencing in Brighton last weekend
(03/12 17:47:58) Calum Traveler: that’s the good part :)
