(04/24 19:52:52) k'febi: Better to keep your system secure and only use proxies you trust. (04/24 19:53:33) Ben Berry: they did to mine (04/24 19:53:48) SmilingOne: How do you know? (04/24 19:54:09) SmilingOne: Did they tell you? (04/24 19:54:15) moose 2: hi ainia (04/24 19:54:27) Ben Berry: because I had geek squad look at it and they said there was nothing left, not even a single file (04/24 19:54:40) Ainia: shorah Moose! :) (04/24 19:54:41) moose 2: yikes (04/24 19:54:46) SmilingOne: That doesn't mean anything. (04/24 19:54:52) From Christine in International's Hood: hello Ainia (04/24 19:55:00) moose 2: good to see you (04/24 19:55:07) SmilingOne: Or rather.. it's no indication of damage to your cpu. (04/24 19:55:13) Ainia: Hi Christine :) (04/24 19:55:19) Ben Berry: the whole motherboard was fried (04/24 19:55:23) I.H.P.X: hi ainia! (04/24 19:55:31) Alphonse Godot: hi ainia (04/24 19:55:32) Ainia: Shorah I.H.P.X (04/24 19:55:37) I.H.P.X: :) (04/24 19:55:46) Ainia: Hey AG (04/24 19:55:49) I.H.P.X: welcome and thank you for coming (04/24 19:55:50) k'febi: Do you mean physically burned? (04/24 19:56:22) Musica2: Shorah Ainia (04/24 19:56:28) Ben Berry: yes they were able to overheat the vents, causing a burnout (04/24 19:56:28) Ainia waves hello (04/24 19:56:39) I.H.P.X: are you ready now ainia? (04/24 19:56:40) Ainia: :D Greetings Musica (04/24 19:56:44) SmilingOne: What vents? (04/24 19:56:44) I.H.P.X: or do you need time? (04/24 19:56:56) Ainia: As I'll ever be :) (04/24 19:57:19) Ainia waves hello (04/24 19:57:20) I.H.P.X: :) alrighty then (04/24 19:57:24) I.H.P.X waves hello (04/24 19:57:30) Ainia: Hello everyone! (04/24 19:57:35) k'febi waves hello (04/24 19:57:53) Ainia: Shorah, welcome, thanks for coming! (04/24 19:57:55) SmilingOne: Shorah (04/24 19:58:14) Ainia: m.a.x.2.0 has asked me to speak about a couple of my research projects. (04/24 19:58:19) moose 2: woot woot (04/24 19:58:32) Ainia: My understanding is that I have a 15-minute window for both my talk and a Q&A session, so I will present overviews of my Cleft Location Project and All Things Uru web site. (04/24 19:58:52) Ainia: This should allow a decent time interval for any discussion afterward. (04/24 19:59:10) I.H.P.X: we have no restrictions now (04/24 19:59:13) Ainia: Back in 2008 after the last cavern closure, I began a couple of surface Uru projects (04/24 19:59:22) I.H.P.X: as long as you need (04/24 19:59:30) Ainia: The first was the beginnings of my research about the true Cleft and cavern locations in New Mexico. (04/24 19:59:49) Ainia: I started with researching D-ni lore, New Mexico history and geography/geology, Navajo mythology, the DRC records, and research done by other explorers. (04/24 20:00:18) Ainia: Although I was, and still am, convinced that the caldera we have seen photographed by the DRC is a genuine location in New Mexico, (04/24 20:00:33) Ainia: our available clues are shrouded in deliberate misdirection as well as Wingrove-s artistic license and wild guesses about a number of details. (04/24 20:00:55) Ainia: I eventually became distracted with an even more interesting and important branch of research, which I documented in several of my journals (04/24 20:01:12) Ainia: (available in my Relto library), :D (04/24 20:01:30) Ainia: and so the Cleft location became somewhat dormant until two years ago when I began the MOULa forum thread dedicated to this topic (04/24 20:01:49) Ainia: (http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=385655) (04/24 20:02:03) I.H.P.X: we will post that site to the thread (04/24 20:02:06) Ainia: Since a number of explorers expressed their interest in this project through the forum, (04/24 20:02:24) Ainia: I resumed my research, started mapping out likely locations based upon an analysis of the evidence (04/24 20:02:45) Ainia: and began a series of road trips to explore various parts of New Mexico for candidate volcanoes and D-ni-related petroglyphs. (04/24 20:03:09) Ainia: I believe I have narrowed down the possible caldera locations and hope to continue surveying these areas over the coming months. (04/24 20:03:19) SmilingOne: Sounds like an adventure! (04/24 20:03:30) Ainia: However, the weather thus far in 2014 has been frustratingly uncooperative, making it difficult to predict how many road trips I will be able to do this year. (04/24 20:03:32) k'febi: How many calderas are there in New Mexico? (04/24 20:03:43) Ainia: ***lots*** (04/24 20:03:46) Ben Berry: a lot (04/24 20:03:57) moose 2: i bet (04/24 20:03:58) Ainia: I have no idea of a realistic head count (04/24 20:04:15) Ainia: Most of the volcanic features are in the west and northern parts of the state (04/24 20:04:20) Alphonse Godot: what are the chances of finding the great shaft? (04/24 20:04:23) moose 2: but you have narrowed down the search somewhat? (04/24 20:04:29) Ainia: (and Carlsbad Caverns is down in the southeastern part) (04/24 20:04:35) Ainia: absolutely!! :) (04/24 20:04:39) Ben Berry: just look at the mountains in New Mexico (04/24 20:04:48) Ainia: It all depends on how accurate the clues really are, though (04/24 20:04:56) Ainia: IC-ly (04/24 20:05:19) Ainia: Sadly, RAWA hasn't been eager to tell me much (04/24 20:05:32) Ainia: so I don't know how close I might be... (04/24 20:06:00) Ainia: The best part (in my view) is that there are some amazingly excellent candidates that fit the evidence we have (04/24 20:06:11) Ainia: I am hoping to do a thorough survey of them in the coming months (04/24 20:06:16) Ben Berry: he likes to be secretive. it's his nature (04/24 20:06:36) SmilingOne: Can't have a mystery without secrets. (04/24 20:06:37) Ainia: If you want to check them out yourselves (Google Earth), they are called the Lucero Volcanic Field (04/24 20:07:01) moose 2: oh thx (04/24 20:07:19) Ainia: They are just west of Albuquerque (04/24 20:07:20) k'febi: Dr. Watson won't tell us until he makes the DRC! (04/24 20:07:29) Ben Berry: makes you wonder if there's a telescope nearby (04/24 20:08:38) Ainia: My best guess with the clues we have is the cavern is located in the Rio Grande Valley, toward the bottom of the rift (04/24 20:08:52) Ben Berry: that makes sense (04/24 20:09:00) Ainia: and the lava chamber is known on the surface as the Socorro Magma Body (04/24 20:09:28) Ainia: The bulk of the magma body is too deep, but there is an interesting pocket bubbling upward that I believe must be the chamber (04/24 20:09:55) Ainia: All of this is contained within my slideshow that I presented last September (04/24 20:10:04) Ainia: If folks are interested, I can re-do it again (04/24 20:10:11) Ainia: It requires the use of a pub imager... (04/24 20:10:26) Ben Berry: to find a real linking book...now that would be a REAL find (04/24 20:10:36) k'febi: Are the slides on a website? (04/24 20:10:36) Ainia: Oh yes indeed Ben! (04/24 20:10:37) I.H.P.X: seems like that would be a nice thing to redo (04/24 20:10:43) moose 2: that would be interesting (04/24 20:10:50) Alphonse Godot: i would be interested in seeing that presentation (04/24 20:10:53) Ainia: Yes, there is a link to them as well as an audio capture of the lecture on the forums (04/24 20:11:14) Ainia: If you hang on for a few minutes, I can copy/paste the link here (04/24 20:11:21) I.H.P.X: :P (04/24 20:11:24) I.H.P.X: :) (04/24 20:11:27) k'febi: Awesome, thanks! (04/24 20:11:34) moose 2: yes please (04/24 20:12:31) Ainia: http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=402479 (04/24 20:12:38) Ainia: that's the Events thread with the links (04/24 20:12:55) Attaboy20: how do i copy that link? (04/24 20:13:09) SmilingOne: Use a pen (04/24 20:13:13) Ainia: :) (04/24 20:13:21) SmilingOne: or.. ask for a KI mail (04/24 20:13:26) Ainia: I'm also running a chatlog (sure hope it's actually working) (04/24 20:13:27) Ben Berry: well the miller brothers did explore those caves (04/24 20:13:32) I.H.P.X: you can send it in a ki mail and they can copy and paste (04/24 20:13:49) I.H.P.X: put in ki mail and i'll send it around (04/24 20:14:02) moose 2: good idea (04/24 20:14:29) I.H.P.X: then you just ctrl c to copy and ctrl v to paste (04/24 20:14:31) k'febi: If you're running a chatlog, you can copy it from there. You can keep the game running. (04/24 20:14:37) Ainia: BTW, I had a conversation with a cavern old-timer last year... (04/24 20:14:49) Ainia: and he told me the caldera does indeed exist here in New Mexico (04/24 20:14:56) SmilingOne: I never run chatlogs (04/24 20:15:34) Ainia: But New Mexico is a big state... and there's a lot of open land (04/24 20:15:48) Ben Berry: to actually go there...would be one for the ages (sniff) (04/24 20:15:49) SmilingOne: How did he know it exists? (04/24 20:15:55) Ainia: Google Earth is my friend;) (04/24 20:16:09) Ainia: He was here in the beginning of everything... (04/24 20:16:14) Ainia: and he knew the Millers (04/24 20:16:22) moose 2: and a good sense of direction helps i bet (04/24 20:16:23) k'febi: Watson? (04/24 20:16:31) Ainia: plus he once lived here in New Mexico (04/24 20:16:34) SmilingOne: And he went there with them or they told him it exists? (04/24 20:16:37) Ben Berry: endberg? (04/24 20:16:37) k'febi: No wait, he isn't talking... (04/24 20:16:39) Ainia: so it seems he knows exactly where it is (04/24 20:16:59) Ainia: I'm afraid he didn't give me the details (04/24 20:17:39) Ainia: Just wanted to reassure me that it wasn't a hopeless quest for me (04/24 20:18:16) Attaboy20: how do I run a chatlog? (04/24 20:18:36) I.H.P.X: type /startlog (04/24 20:18:54) I.H.P.X: but must type /stoplog or lose it all (04/24 20:19:00) Ainia: Dang, I'm running the H'uru client and it's being weird... (04/24 20:19:24) Ainia: (but that's the only way copy/paste works for me these days) (04/24 20:21:31) Ainia: ok, the second research project... (04/24 20:21:55) Ainia: My second Uru project in 2008 was putting together a collection of Uru-related topics and designing a web site to host them: (04/24 20:22:11) Ainia: All Things Uru (http://www.allthingsuru.com). (04/24 20:22:21) I.H.P.X: :) (04/24 20:22:30) Ainia: Sadly, shortly before I was ready to deploy the Nexus area, the web standards changed... (04/24 20:22:41) Ben Berry: or go to www.mystrevival.com (04/24 20:22:46) Ainia: and a number of the site-s javascript features no longer functioned. (04/24 20:22:57) Alphonse Godot: i hate it when that happens (04/24 20:23:05) Ainia: So I had to set this project aside until I could discover a solution. (04/24 20:23:24) Ainia: In the meanwhile, the cavern reopened, I began exploring the Ages again... (04/24 20:23:36) Ainia: and discovered a fellow Age researcher on the forums, Larry LeDeay (larryf58). (04/24 20:23:52) Ainia: I had so much fun documenting the zoology of the Ages on Larry-s thread (04/24 20:23:59) Ben Berry: those sparklies are great to have (04/24 20:24:05) Ainia: (http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=380126) (04/24 20:24:19) Ainia: that I decided to continue researching the Ages, this time focusing on botany, anthropology and archeology. (04/24 20:24:44) Ainia: This did not go unnoticed and Nev-yn of the D-ni Museum of Arts and Sciences approached me (04/24 20:24:58) Ainia: on behalf of Professor Almaron with a request to do a thorough survey of the original five Ages. (04/24 20:25:14) Ainia: With the help of some fellow researchers (Nev-yn, DLordofTime, Deck15 and KathAveara), (04/24 20:25:30) Ainia: I managed to complete the two garden Ages before the project went dormant. (04/24 20:25:30) Ben Berry: the ages with the pillars? (04/24 20:25:45) Ainia: Eder Gira and Eder Kemo, yes (04/24 20:26:03) Ainia: However, it became clear that all this research was in dire need of an archival library. (04/24 20:26:20) Ainia: I realized that the Relto portion of All Things Uru would be the perfect location for this information (04/24 20:26:35) Ainia: and so began the ongoing process of refurbishing the hut, (04/24 20:26:47) Ben Berry: they did add additional relto pages (04/24 20:26:49) Ainia: adding in bridges and collecting historical records, artifacts, and a number of zoological specimens (04/24 20:27:11) Ainia: (http://www.mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=388620). (04/24 20:27:22) Ainia: Ben, I've made lots of other changes to my Relto :D (04/24 20:27:40) Ben Berry: just checking (04/24 20:27:41) Ainia: The library and museum are always in the process of being updated, (04/24 20:27:53) From I.H.P.X: you can send those links to me on FB and i'll add to the thread plz (04/24 20:27:56) Ainia: though much of this work by nature remains unseen until it is ready for community use. (04/24 20:28:24) Ainia: So that's two of my research projects :) (04/24 20:28:32) Ainia: (I have lots of others... ) (04/24 20:28:37) I.H.P.X: fantastic!! (04/24 20:28:49) moose 2: yes very interesting (04/24 20:28:52) Ainia: If anyone hasn't visited the Relto library yet, please do! (04/24 20:29:12) I.H.P.X: still again.. how this game inspires... (04/24 20:29:14) Ainia: I find myself using it all the time (04/24 20:29:24) Ainia: And there are some fun things there too... ;) (04/24 20:29:31) I.H.P.X: :) (04/24 20:29:57) Ainia: oh great, where am I?? (04/24 20:30:02) From Ben Berry: did you get a magic bot? (04/24 20:30:09) I.H.P.X: i'll get the links from ainia's list here tonight and post those on the thread (04/24 20:30:10) Gwenhyvar: how do you get to the relto library? (04/24 20:30:15) Ainia: :D only up to my hops ATM (04/24 20:30:19) Ainia: *hips* (04/24 20:30:23) I.H.P.X: lol (04/24 20:30:27) Ainia: Yeah, the H'uru client is... odd (04/24 20:30:38) Ainia: some evil keyboard combo I'm sure started this (04/24 20:31:01) moose 2: is yours evil too? (04/24 20:31:03) I.H.P.X: the relto library,gwen would like to know how to get there (04/24 20:31:04) Ainia: questions? thoughts? (04/24 20:31:09) Ben Berry: not mine (04/24 20:31:24) Ben Berry: do you have a magic bot? (04/24 20:31:29) Ainia: in a browser: http://www.allthingsuru.com (04/24 20:31:51) I.H.P.X: again.. send me that link (04/24 20:32:03) Ainia: would you like the entire chatlog?

(04/24 20:33:25) moose 2: and your enthusiasm (04/24 20:33:36) Ainia: I update it whenever I do a new road trip (04/24 20:33:42) I.H.P.X: smiles (04/24 20:33:44) Ainia: *however*... (04/24 20:33:54) Ainia: I also post live from the field via Twitter (04/24 20:33:56) moose 2: well i hope the weather will be kind to you (04/24 20:34:07) I.H.P.X: wow (04/24 20:34:11) Ainia: Yeah, me too :) (04/24 20:34:17) moose 2: to make up for the winter (04/24 20:34:19) Ainia: I'm hoping Saturday will work (04/24 20:34:22) I.H.P.X: send me your twitter too (04/24 20:34:29) Ainia: (but the weather forecasets are not promising) (04/24 20:34:34) I.H.P.X: hm (04/24 20:34:52) Attaboy20: tornado warning? (04/24 20:34:57) Ainia: https://twitter.com/AiniaDaFente (04/24 20:34:57) SmilingOne: Well.. I guess that's why they invented umbrellas. (04/24 20:35:08) moose 2: and the weather forecasters are never wrong (04/24 20:35:13) moose 2: right? (04/24 20:35:16) SmilingOne: lol moose (04/24 20:35:22) Ainia: :D here's to hoping! (04/24 20:35:31) Ben Berry: depends on which one you trust (04/24 20:35:42) Attaboy20: They're job is to predict the wether so the can't tell if it's true or not (04/24 20:36:06) Ben Berry: they only have models (04/24 20:36:06) moose 2: they use percentages (04/24 20:36:32) moose 2: a 50 percent chance of rain (04/24 20:36:58) moose 2: in other words................ i dont know (04/24 20:37:02) I.H.P.X: lol (04/24 20:37:13) SmilingOne: I'm pretty sure they have satellites.
