[21:35] <newz2000> hi, I'm going to take the fridge offline for a few minutes here shortly
[21:35] <newz2000> I'm going to do a little prep first and offline time should be under 5min
[21:54] <newz2000> ok, fridge is going offline, this should not take long
[22:04] <newz2000> ok, should be back online now
[22:04] <newz2000> 10m. :-/ longer than I'd expected.
[22:06] <boredandblogging> newz2000: do anything fun to it?
[22:06] <newz2000> no, just patching to the latest release. There were some security updates though none critical that affect us.
[22:08] <Rinchen> ah, fridge love
[22:08] <Rinchen> We could use more fridge love there newz2000 :-)
[22:08] <newz2000> yeah
[22:09] <newz2000> there will be a new ubuntu* theme soon. Will be my best yet and can be used on the fridge to great affect I think.
[22:09] <Rinchen> nifty. I look forward to that.
[22:10] <Rinchen> I wonder what happened to that proposed restructuring of objects that was brought up on the list. boredandblogging do you know?
[22:13] <boredandblogging> Rinchen: i never did anything with it
[22:14] <Rinchen> and I was so excited to see it happen to!
[22:14] <boredandblogging> what would be the next steps?
[22:14] <Rinchen> for you to do it.
[22:14] <boredandblogging> someone needs to probably clean up the css and theme in general, *cough* newz2000 *cough*
[22:14] <Rinchen> newz2000, do you now if we can put the fridge in maint mode? I think we can right?
[22:14] <Rinchen> so long as we're logged in as an admin
[22:14] <newz2000> yes, I just had it in maintenance mode
[22:15] <Rinchen> I mean us normal fridge people, not you :-D
[22:15] <newz2000> oh, no, I doubt it
[22:15] <newz2000> what do you need to do?
[22:15] <Rinchen> boredandblogging, created a new layout
[22:15] <newz2000> the blue one?
[22:15] <Rinchen> ya
[22:15] <Rinchen> it's a scheme and layout change
[22:15] <Rinchen> I'm interested in the layout
[22:16] <newz2000> I think that you can setup drupal so that special users can change their theme
[22:16] <newz2000> if you want to install it and see how it looks you could do it like that I think.
[22:16] <newz2000> boredandblogging: regarding css cleanup, wait till you see what I've done, its nice.
[22:17] <newz2000> switching to fixed width, which simplifies things dramatically, and using blueprint which simplifies even more
[22:18] <boredandblogging> oh sweet
[22:18] <newz2000> if you want to use the blue theme on fridge I'm game.
[22:19] <boredandblogging> can we try it out?
[22:19] <newz2000> where's the theme at?
[22:20] <boredandblogging> ahh crap
[22:20] <boredandblogging> its not checked in
[22:20] <boredandblogging> let me zip it up and send it to you
[22:20] <newz2000> ok
[22:24] <Rinchen> boredandblogging, you should dump that in bzr and push it to the fridge project on LP
[22:24] <Rinchen> hint
[22:24] * Rinchen smiles.
[22:25] <newz2000> that wasn't a hint
[22:25] <newz2000> you should have said, "it'd be nice to have that in a bzr branch on LP"
[22:26] <Rinchen> ok
[22:26] <Rinchen> boredandblogging, what newz2000 said ;-)
[22:26] <boredandblogging> lol
[22:26] <boredandblogging> yeah, I know
[22:26] <boredandblogging> newz2000: sent to you
[22:27] <boredandblogging> it was sitting in a dreamhost account
[22:27] <boredandblogging> doubt bzr is installed
[22:27] <newz2000> I'll check it in
[22:27] <newz2000> things are moving slow on my PC today, so give me a few min
[22:32] <newz2000> nick, did you pick the name "lite jazz"?
[22:32] <boredandblogging> newz2000: lol, no
[22:33] <boredandblogging> the theme is from here: http://www.roopletheme.com/
[22:33] <newz2000> I've never used a settings.php file in a theme before, did you do that or did that just come from whoever made the original?
[22:34] <boredandblogging> newz2000: original
[22:35] <boredandblogging> i made very few changes, trying to get the header to look decent (which was a failure), some CSS changes
[22:36] <newz2000> I think the header will require new imagery
[22:36] <newz2000> boredandblogging: if you'd like to fiddle with it, I can send you my original svg file. If you'd rather not, I can fiddle with it later this week.
[22:36] <boredandblogging> newz2000: its all you
[22:37] <boredandblogging> my graphics skills suck
[22:41] <boredandblogging> minus the header, I would like to fiddle around with it using some real fridge content and see
[22:41] <boredandblogging> how it looks
[22:42] <newz2000> ok, I'll give it a shot.
[22:42] <newz2000> just pushing now
[22:42] <boredandblogging> cool
[22:44] * newz2000 can't remember how to do it and resorts to scp
[22:46] <boredandblogging> heh
[22:47] <newz2000> ok, when you log in now, you should be able to edit your user account and choose litejazz as your theme.
[22:50] <boredandblogging> the right needed to be turned on, I turned it on for administrators
[23:21] <boredandblogging> would it bother anyone if I aggregated a couple of feeds on the fridge to test out the theme?
[23:21] <boredandblogging> we can always delete it later
[23:26] <Rinchen> which ones?
[23:26] <newz2000> you may not be able to
[23:26] <newz2000> that machine is firewalled
[23:32] <boredandblogging> i was thinking of the security updates
[23:32] <boredandblogging> and one more
[23:33] <boredandblogging> forums maybe
