[03:44] <DanaG> http://start.ubuntu.com/8.04
[03:44] <DanaG> Eek, old double-orange Heron!
[03:45]  * DanaG pokes the air and hopes somebody notices... but doesn't 'poke' any one specific person.
[03:45] <DanaG> s/pokes/waves his arms in/
[03:45] <_MMA_> Oh give it a rest. It really doesn't matter.
[03:46] <DanaG> I won't see that page myself, anyway.
[03:46] <DanaG> I use about:blank
[03:46] <DanaG> I'm already wondering what Intrepid will have... but perhaps it's way too early.
[03:47] <DanaG> Yup, way early.
[03:47] <DanaG> "Intrepid" makes me think of cars.
[04:06] <DanaG> Vroom.
[10:49] <troy_s> Wow.
[10:53] <Cimi> kwwii, where's scott on irc?
[12:55] <kwwii> Cimi: keybuk is his nick
[12:55] <Cimi> thx
[12:58] <cody-somerville> Can someone make Xubuntu a release banner please please please? :)
[13:03]  * cody-somerville pokes troy_s.
[13:03] <kwwii> lol, the heron also made it to the front page of the store!
[13:04] <kwwii> http://shop.canonical.com/
[13:06] <cody-somerville> hawt
[13:36] <_MMA_> kwwii: Is that the shirt their gonna have at UDS?
[13:43] <kwwii> _MMA_: no idea, I thought they were only making them for UDS until I saw that you can buy them
[13:43] <_MMA_> ok
[14:04] <kwwii> hi KevinTW
[14:04] <KevinTW> hi kwwii
[14:04] <kwwii> cody-somerville: did you find someone to make your banner?
[14:04] <cody-somerville> I used a draft banner
[14:04] <cody-somerville> kwwii, But if you could whip something up for us, it would be greatly appreciated :)
[14:13] <kwwii> cody-somerville: not sure exactly what you want/need or where it will go
[14:14] <kwwii> cody-somerville: but if you have nothing else I can take a whack at something
[14:21] <cody-somerville> This is what we had for gutsy: http://www.xubuntu.org/files/gutsy_is_here.png
[14:24] <kwwii> cody-somerville: ok, so did you have something in mind?
[14:27] <cody-somerville> Not really :)
[14:27] <_MMA_> pfftt... Typical.
[14:28] <_MMA_> "I can't give any input up front. Only after work is put into it to say I don't like it. " :P
[14:29] <_MMA_> All, after-the-fact and shit. ;)
[14:45] <DanaG> Is that a rule, or an observation?  I can't tell.
[14:47] <DanaG> And who says that?
[14:47] <DanaG> Oh yeah, who's the supplier for that shirt?
[14:47] <DanaG> Some places I've seen don't offer designs that big.
[14:48] <kwwii> cody-somerville: do you have a screenshot of the desktop I could use for that pic?
[14:50] <cody-somerville> http://www.xubuntu.org/files/xubuntu.png
[15:12] <kwwii> boah, inkscape just died on me :p
[15:19] <savvas> be sure to get rid of the corpse :p
[15:21] <savvas> anyway, as that fellow henrik omma said in a bug report of mine, they won't use anything above 0.46 for inkscape :\
[15:22] <kwwii> because that is the supported version in the archive I guess
[15:22] <savvas> probably, but I had a problem importing the gnu svg from wikipedia :P it came out black hehe
[15:23] <savvas> oh well, intrepid is just 6 months away hehe
[15:26] <_MMA_> savvas: Use Inkscape from the testers PPA. or build from source. SVN is real easy.
[15:30] <savvas> _MMA_: one step at a time :P I'm just a bit afraid to tinker with the source :)
[15:31] <savvas> I'll enjoy my working release for now, until june/july when i finish biochemistry and physiology exams
[15:35] <_MMA_> savvas: Ill post instructions somewhere. It's really shit simple.
[15:40] <savvas> _MMA_: please do! I'll read it, I always have some spare time to make things better:)) just highlight me and point me to a link if you do so
[15:55] <kwwii> cody-somerville: http://sinecera.de/xubuntu_ken.png
[15:55] <kwwii> cody-somerville: just something I made quickly, no worries if you don't use it
[15:56] <kwwii> http://sinecera.de/xubuntu_ken.svg if you want to tweak it or whatever
[16:09] <cody-somerville> kwwii, thanks :)
[16:27] <kwwii> lol, check this out
[16:27] <kwwii> http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/24/nogc124.xml
[16:28]  * _MMA_ looks
[16:30] <_MMA_> People have dirty minds. :P
[17:53] <oskude> hi, i cant send any messages to ubuntu-art list, nor can i unsubscribe with the mailman interface (it just doesnt work)... can i unsubscribe from the list using email ?
[17:57] <kwwii> oskude: although I am not positive, I think you can just put unsubscribe in the subject or such
[17:58] <oskude> kwwii, hmm, on the other lists its normally another email address, but i'll try
[17:58] <kwwii> yeah, might be
[17:58] <kwwii> do your emails get rejected from the list?
[17:58] <kwwii> or do they just not come through?
[17:59] <oskude> kwwii, atleast i didnt get any error (that i know of)
[17:59] <kwwii> my guess is that the servers are really slow atm due to all the people downloading hardy, accesing the web page, etc
[18:00] <oskude> i send my message at Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:15:46 +0200
[18:00] <oskude> kwwii, ah, i see your the admin of ubuntu-art ?
[18:01] <kwwii> oskude: yepp
[18:01] <oskude> kwwii, if you have access to the logs, you could check what happened to that email, titled "unsubscribe broke ?" from andre at osku dot de
[18:04] <kwwii> oskude: it does not look like you are subscribed to the list
[18:04] <kwwii> that email adress is not subscribed at least
[18:04] <oskude> kwwii, hmm, i still get emails from there, even today, ill check
[18:11] <oskude> kwwii, hmm, i tried other emails that i have (but i normally use only that) cant login with anything (assuming my password is correct)... can you look if any account from osku.de is subscribed ? (no need to say which, i dont have so many)
[18:32]  * oskude goes play... xchat log is on ;)
[19:01] <troy_s> cody-somerville: When do you need it?
[19:01] <cody-somerville> troy_s, kwwii already produced something
[19:01] <cody-somerville> troy_s, But if you want to create something, I can put it up too
[19:01] <troy_s> cody-somerville: Ok great.
[19:01] <troy_s> cody-somerville: Sorry I was in bed.
[19:01] <troy_s> lol
[19:01] <cody-somerville> :)
[19:29] <savvas> kwwii: how about this for a p2p icon? :) http://savvas.radevic.com/previews/bittorrent-icon/p2p.svg
[19:29] <savvas> or something around that idea
[19:37] <_MMA_> savvas: I would personally try to go a little more realistic and less like Tango. Human has a bit more realism. I'd go for that.
[19:37] <_MMA_> kwwii: Which reminds me. Human needs a base image to use for mimetypes.
[19:37] <_MMA_> Text file kinda backgrounds.
[19:38] <savvas> hm.. _MMA_ you mean change the colours?
[19:38] <_MMA_> The style.
[19:38] <_MMA_> The thick outline is too Tango.
[19:39] <savvas> you're right I guess, I should propose it to the tango team haha
[19:39] <_MMA_> Sure.
[19:40] <_MMA_> Oh... There are OO.o images in Human we could use.
[19:40] <savvas> well I tried to propose this one for gnome-icon-theme for application/x-bittorrent: http://savvas.radevic.com/previews/bittorrent-icon/bittorrent.svg
[19:40] <savvas> but i ended up finding out that the mime type was from the freedesktop package :\
[19:41] <savvas> plus, they didn't like it, the globe was a cliche they were trying to avoid heh
[20:31]  * thorwil subscribes to brainstorm ml
[22:59] <DanaG> Dang, that stretches-only-from-left issue sucks.
[23:00] <_MMA_> DanaG: Just happened recently. Bug filed. It will be taken care of.
[23:00] <DanaG> Cool.  I figured that'd be so.
[23:01] <DanaG> Hmm, for background color around non-fullscreen images... would it look good to take average of each edge and project outwards?
[23:01] <DanaG> Kind of like the edge-illumination thing on some TVs.
