miketechdont understand ubuntu. its so great organized12:50
woodwizzlefyre isn't in ubuntu :(12:51
dwarvenbladewhen will splashy be perfected?12:51
ograsplashy is crap, we wont use it12:51
woodwizzleI've been playing with it lately and it kicks ass though12:51
woodwizzlewhats splashy?12:51
woodwizzleis that like usplash?12:51
dwarvenbladeok when will there be a splash screen easy to put into ubuntu without bugs?12:51
ograusplash is the one we'll use :)12:51
dwarvenbladeis it good?12:52
lukacuwoodwizzle: yeah ... fyre is cool12:52
dwarvenbladeive never tried splashy or usplash12:52
ograand its the job of the artwork team to design the animations for it i guess12:52
ograwoodwizzle, put it on the UniverseCandidates wikipage, so MOTU gets aware of it12:52
ogra(and probably packages it for universe)12:53
dwarvenbladeshould i eat more celery?12:53

ograLOL12:56
dwarvenbladeperhaps it was in the celery12:56
ogragrin12:56
dwarvenbladeI need to travel to the land of celery and discuss this with the celery creatures12:56
dwarvenbladeok i discussed it with them they said use more peanut butter12:57
lukaculol ... he is smoking tomatoes12:57
ogrago ahead then :)12:57
dwarvenbladeok i will use more peanut butter12:58
dwarvenbladei found it12:58
dwarvenblademy mind was momentarily taken by the beasts of planet peanut12:58
dwarvenbladebut it has sprouted anew, I found a tiny space capsule vehicle of one of the peanut monsters and they apologised and said I could have my mind back12:58
ograwhat a journey :)12:59
dwarvenbladenow they are saying "your mind IS a peanut!"01:00
dwarvenbladeso I will have to research this01:00
ogragoogle is your friend :)01:00
dwarvenbladeI thought my brain was bigger than that01:00
dwarvenbladethey say i must make a wallpaper for ubuntu of a piece of celery with peanut butter on it sitting on a plate overlooking a moon which drops down beneath a celestrial waterfall of stars, each running into each other 01:01
lukacuwell ... it's 1:25 am here ... time for some sleep ... good night01:26
dwarvenbladegood night01:26

woodwizzlewhat do ya'll think: http://ubuntuforums.org/gallery/showimage.php?i=568&original=1&c=507:49
volvoguylooks good. maybe a hair too much compression though - the logo looks kinda splotchy.07:54
woodwizzlehehe, well my desktop is rockin' the png =) I'll recompress it better next time. I think I want to tweak the fractal first.07:54
volvoguyi like the fractal. is that what Fyre does? i've never heard of it. 07:55
woodwizzlein fact, it might not be the compression thats the problem. Even the original has some aliased edges that I'm having trouble getting rid of07:56
woodwizzleyeah, well a certain subset or certain type of fractals I think. I just found it last night and I don't really understand the math behind it, but it has an excellent GUI07:56
woodwizzlehttp://fyre.navi.cx/07:56
volvoguywhich version of the logo are you using? you can import the svg version of the logo into the gimp.07:56
woodwizzleI used the PNG and then scaled it down. I don't think the svg would make a difference unless I was scaling up. I can try it though07:57
volvoguymight be worth a try if nothing else works. at least it has a transparent background and can be scaled to your desired size when you import it.07:58
woodwizzlethe png is alpha transparent too07:59
volvoguyyes, but pixels that get antialiased weird when resized. :)07:59
woodwizzletrue, but I was careful to maintain aspect ratio and to use floating point precesion. That usually helps08:00
volvoguyi haven't checked, but it may only be an 8bit png too.08:00
woodwizzlenow that I look at it, the circles in the logo arn't quite circular anymore. They're a little chipped of the top08:01
volvoguyfyre looks cool. based on the quartz composer in OS X Tiger (which is pretty fun to play with).08:01
woodwizzleyeah, i've never seen that though. They're site didn't even have screenshots, and I don't really have access to a mac I can install software on08:02
woodwizzles/They're/Their08:03
woodwizzleDoes Quartz support animation?08:03
volvoguyyeah. the quartz composer can be used to do all kinds of stuff. i think you can even make animated screensavers out of it. 08:04
woodwizzlewow08:05
volvoguyyeah. pretty slick. more aimed at developers though. my photoshop/illustrator trained brain couldn't quite figure everything out.08:06
woodwizzlehmmm. what kinda applications would developers use something like that for? (besides of course, screensavers =)08:07
volvoguynot sure. it's installed with the developers tools though.08:07
woodwizzlefyre has a kinda neat click and drag interface to all the math values so you can really just sit around and play with it even if you don't understand it.08:07
woodwizzleI'm starting to get a little bit of a hold on it now08:08
volvoguycool. the fractal you did is really smooth. i'm looking forward to having our own art site to upload stuff. 08:09
woodwizzlethanks!08:10
woodwizzledo you mean something like art.gnome.org but just for ubuntu? That would be nice!08:11
volvoguyi missed the first round of [adult swim] , so i'll be heading to the couch and my iBook shortly. if i can find a decent IRC client i'll make you some screenshots of quartz composer.08:11
volvoguyyep. we're just waiting for the hardware.08:11
volvoguyit's going to be a repository for community artwork as well as our CVS server for internal artwork development.08:12
volvoguyi have my first raid array building on this machine right now and it's really too sluggish to get any real work done anyway. doh!08:14
volvoguybtw, has anyone seen Andrew in here lately? i'm starting to think he takes the weekends off. :)08:16
woodwizzlesounds awesome. any ETA?08:19
volvoguyon the server? well, Canonical told me a week three weeks ago. i think it's Mako's job and he's a pretty busy guy.08:20
woodwizzlehehe, very true.08:21
woodwizzleAre you gonna use the same codebase as art.gnome.org or kdelook or something totally new?08:21
volvoguyinteresting you should ask that. i was just talking to one of the art.gnome.org guys the other day and they're getting ready to do a major website update in the next few weeks.08:22
woodwizzledidn't they just do a major website upgrade?!08:22
volvoguythey're also working on a SOAP backend that would allow the various Linux art sites to kinda act like artwork repositories.08:23
volvoguyyeah. i thought so too. i think this may be more of a backend change than a visual one, but i'm not sure.08:23
volvoguyi'm hoping to get Ubuntu in on the SOAP stuff. we could then use the website and/or a GUI app to make our art (and those of the other sites involved) available universally.08:25
woodwizzleIt would be nice if the ubuntu site had that kinda backend, and was able to do something like kdefolks where you can open the change desktop background dialog and instantly download the new backgrounds08:25
volvoguywell, there's an app out now called "gnome-art" that scrapes the art.gnome.org data and makes it available in a GUI where you can preview, download and apply different themes/icons/backgrounds.08:26
volvoguyi think it's even written in python, so it could fit into ubuntu nicely.08:27
volvoguyi have it installed on one of my machines, but i think it's in breezy's universe, so it's not widely known yet.08:28
volvoguyok. i'm a slacker, but my show's on, so i'm taking off. if i can find a decent IRC client for OS X, i'll join in again.08:31
