adamant1988hello all.09:18
Madpilothi09:18
adamant1988*sigh* I have to shop for a new computer me thinks.09:18
Madpilotfun09:19
adamant1988yeah, I don't want to get one from some place that preinstalls windows though09:19
adamant1988I want to make sure my new computer is linux compatible09:19
Madpilotbuy parts, assemble your own09:19
adamant1988takes too long09:20
Madpilotonly way to buy a desktop, I think09:20
adamant1988no computer stores near by.09:20
Madpilotmail order is good, take an afternoon to assemble the beast, install Ubuntu on it in less than an hour, done.09:20
adamant1988i'm thinking i might do system76 and get myself a nice ubuntu system preinstalled =\09:20
adamant1988but I'm also looking at linspire.09:21
Madpilotsystem76 boxes look nice, actually09:22
Madpilotyou looking for desktop or lappie?09:23
darkmatter_adamant1988, it takes less than an hour to build a box if you've got the time...09:23
adamant1988a desktop, something with enough power to run XGL09:23
adamant1988I'll probably end up dual booting two linux distros on it09:23
adamant1988I'm thinking it'll be any combo of Ubuntu, Suse, and Freespire/Linspire09:24
Madpilotany of those System76 boxes should handle XGL, I think09:24
adamant1988Yeah, I imagine.09:25
adamant1988I used Kororaa on disk09:25
adamant1988XGL makes a world of difference in the interface.09:25
adamant1988It's suprising how much of a difference a nice clean look and a snappy gui effect set can do to enhance the experience.09:25
adamant1988Yeah right now I'm *seriousl* looking at linspire and Ubuntu... both are great IMO... I would say SLED but I think waiting 20 minutes for opera to install from .rpm was enough.09:27
Madpilotouch09:31
MadpilotUbuntu has Opera in repos now :)09:31
adamant1988yeah09:32
adamant1988CNR is the main thing that would have me looking at Linspire09:32
adamant1988CNR is amazing, it's a little less up to date, but the fact that I can get all the best commercial aps through it says something09:33
adamant1988including legal dvd playing09:33
adamant1988I have to test freespires online now... I'll be back momentarily if it works...09:38
=== adamant1988 [n=root@h-141-153-101-16.ckb.meer.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing
adamant1988well everything appears to be working in this neck of the woods09:42
darkmatter_running freespire are we??? :P09:44
adamant1988yep :P09:45
adamant1988I'm not beyond giving it a shot... I'm a selfish user. As long as something meets my needs I'm happy with it09:45
darkmatter_lol09:47
darkmatter_most are that way..09:47
darkmatter_me.. I'm being the usual me09:47
darkmatter_currently compiling glscube for a test drive09:48
darkmatter_:)09:48
adamant1988haha, I agree with the open source morals and all, but truth be told I like my user friendly apps and interfaces09:48
adamant1988Oh you HAVE to tell me how GLScube is09:48
adamant1988I'm very interested in that project.09:48
darkmatter_lets see.... hmmm... only about 22% of my uby is 'factory'... I'm slipping :P09:49
darkmatter_I'll tell youy in a bit09:49
darkmatter_my last dapper install was 8% factory approx09:49
darkmatter_the rest was all custom builds09:49
adamant1988haha09:50
darkmatter_how I hated reinstalling the official release09:50
darkmatter_I almost cried09:50
adamant1988 I usually don't mess with stuff from factory conditions much09:50
darkmatter_all that work.. poof... except for a few debs09:50
adamant1988unless there is an obviously great benefit for doing it09:50
darkmatter_so now I'm just going to not do as much updating until I toss my new hardware in09:51
adamant1988anywho I'm going to go to bed, I' worked 11 1/2 hours today... littttttttle tired.09:51
adamant1988keep me posted on how the GLScube thing goes, and if it makes life any easier.09:51
adamant1988:)09:51
darkmatter_me... I just have this nast addiction to do it yourself software... been using puers waaayyy tro long I guess09:52

(jenda/#ubuntu-marketing) Should be OK now.12:54
=== bimberi pleads guilty
(bimberi/#ubuntu-marketing) :)12:54
(jenda/#ubuntu-marketing) bimberi: check your LP homepage...12:55
bimberilol, onya jenda!12:56
jendahehe :)12:56
jendaI'm awaiting a public stoning for that one.12:56
bimberiha, just blame me, i can take it12:56
jendaI wonder... we'll see how others take it, and if it's bad, I'll pullback :)12:57
bimberisure, it was posted on the list and got a couple of 'lol' reactions01:00
bimberii'm sure the rest thought, "gawd, what's he on?"01:00
mindspinyup01:01
bimberihehe01:01
bimberibtw, the arrow 'swoosh' from adamant1988's effort could be a nice alternative01:01
jendabimberi: linky?01:08
bimberihttp://www.tikal26.net/ubuntu/logomockup.svg01:10
jendaah :)01:10
jendayou can't see it at the right size.01:11
jendaBut a simple brown globe might be a great emblem01:11
MenZaI like the idea...01:12
jendaMenZa, bimberi, check now and tell me which you like more01:23
jenda+ mindspin :)01:23
MenZaCheck what?01:24
mindspinI like the logo with the arrow very much01:25
MenZaI don't know.01:25
jendaLP homepage01:25
MenZaIt's not following the same style as the rest of the logo.01:25
jendamindspin: you can't see the arrow in LP - it's only 16*1601:26
jendaMenZa: that means change colors?01:26
MenZajenda: no, the overall style.01:26
jendawhat is the overall style?01:26
MenZaCould be the glossy bit, could be that outline of the arrow.01:26
jendadunno whatcha mean01:26
MenZaI don't know, but it looks wrong.01:26
jendaI'm not talking about the arrow01:26
jendacheck you LP homepage.01:26
MenZaLaunchPad, right.01:26
jendaThe arrow can't be used, because it can't be seen.01:26
MenZasec01:26
mindspinah, got you but the image looks slightly invisible for me01:27
=== MenZa is looking at his Launchpad
=== MenZa is puzzled
jendaI know. I don't know how to change the colors in svg, so I'll hack it in the gimp01:27
MenZajenda: use Inkscape.01:27
jendaNo, there are too many objects.01:27
MenZaRight click an object and use Stroke / Fill or something.01:28
MenZaI've manipulated Tango icons, trust me.01:28
MenZaAny number of paths are okay.01:28
jendaIt's impossible. Too many objects to right click.01:28
jendaYou can try, I'll bazaar the globe.01:29
jendano, I gotta go now.01:29
jendaI'll be back in 6 hrs or so.01:29
