[6:32]  Manetas: So are there any people here?

[6:32]  A Visitor: are you Jesus ?

[6:33]  Manetas: No, an Oracle or a Prophet..

[6:33]  Manetas: Maybe..

[6:33]  A Visitor: really?

[6:33]  A Visitor: come on...

[6:33]  Manetas: I can be..

[6:33]  Tief Schwarz: Miltos?

[6:33]  Tief Schwarz: the Press is here

[6:33]  Tief Schwarz: want to answer questions?

[6:33]  Manetas: The Prophet likes the Press..

[6:34 ]  Manetas: Because they never think twice.

[6:34]  Manetas: And sometimes they will report the truth by accident..

Questions

 

[6:35]  A Visitor: Why are we asking u these questions?

 [6:35]  Manetas: That's the biggest question of all..

[6:35]  Manetas: Why Asking the Questions..

[6:35]  A Visitor:  Give me the smallest answer

[6:36]  Manetas: I am not the Press..

[6:36]  Manetas: I can't give small answers.

[6:36]  Manetas: I can give only answers or not-answers.

[6:36]  A Visitor:  So I ask u no question, maybe u give me the big answer?

Time Travel.

 

[6:38]  Tief Schwarz: hi Miltos, Eric here now

[6:38]  Manetas: Hi Eric..

[6:38]  Tief Schwarz: how are you?

[6:38]  Manetas: Fine.

[6:39]  Tief Schwarz: I think we're about to call it quits for today

[6:39]  Manetas: Already..

[6:41]  Tief Schwarz: It seems that there'll be no internet connection tomorrow at the conference

[6:41]  Tief Schwarz: unfortunately

[6:41]  Manetas: Well, there will be no prophet then..

[6:41]  Tief Schwarz: but there's going to be a preview of the show after that, at about 18pm

[6:41]  Tief Schwarz: for a couple of hours

[6:41]  Tief Schwarz: and Thursday’s the big opening day

[6:42]  Manetas: Doing an Conference without Internet Connection is traveling to the Past.

[6:42]  Tief Schwarz: Yeah, I know. They've been having problems with the Internet here, it seems

[6:42]  Manetas: It means you are doing the conference in the time when Internet didn't existed..

[6:42]  Tief Schwarz: Haha

[6:42]  Manetas: That's a choice I suppose and I respect it as such.

[6:42]  Manetas: Time Travel.

[6:43]  Manetas: Living in the Past.

[6:43]  Tief Schwarz: I know. It's too bad. The conference would have needed an avatar

[6:43]  Manetas: Talking professionally about the Future.

[6:44]  Manetas: Living in the Past and Talking professionally about the Future: this is our job.

[6:44]  Tief Schwarz: So, as it seems now - nothing more today. Will check with Daniel though

[6:44]  Manetas: Thanks God there is Technology so we can blame our "living in the Past " to it..

[6:45]  Tief Schwarz: if you hold on a minute i'll try to find him to get exact times for Wed/Thu for you...

[6:45]  Manetas: "there was a problem with Technology"

[6:45]  Manetas: "there was a problem with computers"

[6:45]  Manetas: There is never any problem with Technology.

[6:45]  Manetas: There are problems with choices.

[6:46]  Manetas: Or even better, there are no problems at all but only choices..

[6:47]  Tief Schwarz: i just talked to Daniel.

[6:47]  Manetas: And?

[6:47]  Tief Schwarz: nothing more today

[6:47]  Manetas: Cool! I am back to be Miltos then...

[6:47]  Tief Schwarz: tomorrow there's the preview after the conference at about 6-7 your time

[6:48]  Manetas: I wrote a text for the conference tomorrow..

[6:48]  Manetas: Will you please read it there for me?

[6:48]  Tief Schwarz: you have?

[6:48]  Manetas: I will send it to you later today..

[6:48]  Tief Schwarz: Ok, do that

[6:48]  Tief Schwarz: I'll speak to Daniel and Jan.

[6:48]  Manetas: But I want you to exercise your reading it so you will be Miltos.

[6:49]  Tief Schwarz: Sure

[6:49]  Manetas: The public can Blackberry-me questions and I will reply.

 [6:50]  Manetas: It doesn't have to happen in real time so it will not result boring.

[6:50]  Tief Schwarz: Don't have a Blackberry unfortunately...

[6:50]  Manetas: Someone will have!

[6:50]  Manetas: Andreas and Angelo does.

[6:50]  Tief Schwarz: Ok.

 [6:50] Tief Schwarz: Anyway - times first, before i forget

[6:51]  Tief Schwarz: let's meet here tomorrow at 6pm your time

[6:51]  Manetas: You should give a Blackberry to people and they can type their questions and after I reply then you read everything on the public.

[6:52]  Manetas: We need to experiment this long distance presence..

[6:52]  Tief Schwarz: I'll try to work something out

[6:52]  Manetas: So let's be in touch on the time you are reading my text..

[6:52]  Tief Schwarz: And Thursday, the opening is 5pm-sometime in evening (your time)

[6:53]  Manetas: And please keep me updated on what is happening there..

[6:53]  Tief Schwarz: Of course

[6:53]  Manetas: I am more interested on the Conference than in the Exhibition...

[6:53]  Manetas: I mean I want to participate via Second Life..

[6:53]  Manetas: That's the challenge..

[6:54]  Tief Schwarz: I'll talk to everybody tonight and try to come up with the best solution possible given the current technical constraints

[6:54]  Manetas: Send a mail to journalists with my email so they can ask me stuff they may wanted to ask today..

[6:55]  Tief Schwarz: I think a lot of them are staying at least tomorrow

[6:55]  Tief Schwarz: i think you'll get a chance to talk to lots of people.

[6:55]  Manetas: Cool: Press is like a huge cat, you need to pet its head to make it relax..

[6:55]  Manetas: Then it will go catch some mouse.

[6:56]  Tief Schwarz: Haha! Nice analogy, might steal it

[6:56]  Manetas: If the Press is nervous then it just creates damage..

[6:56]  Tief Schwarz: Anyhow, I think we're all going someplace now.

[6:56]  Manetas: Ok, cool, have fun.

[6:57]  Tief Schwarz: Mail me the text, I'll talk to people, and let's stay in touch throughout tomorrow
