| MitchM | very nice | 12:05 |

| MitchM | I just "barrowed" a company UPS label for such purposes =) | 12:05 |
| MitchM | got about 4 per side | 12:05 |
| MitchM | stickered my "cubicle" | 12:05 |
| jenda | nixternal: are those from the german site? | 12:09 |
| nixternal | nope, i made those today | 12:10 |
| jenda | ah | 12:10 |
| nixternal | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy | 12:10 |
| jenda | And... you did know that I already did quite a bit of work on stickers... right? | 12:10 |
| jenda | :) | 12:10 |
| === jenda searches for URL | ||
| jenda | http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Stickers/ | 12:11 |
| jenda | That's all the works in progress too. | 12:11 |
| nixternal | i just replied to John's email... | 12:11 |
| MitchM | jenda : with the stickers I ordered what color do i get? | 12:11 |
| nixternal | nice work jenda | 12:12 |
| jenda | MitchM: brown | 12:12 |
| jenda | as on the wiki | 12:12 |
| nixternal | jenda, i likey likey those stickers | 12:13 |
| jenda | nixternal: should I add yours on there too? | 12:13 |
| nixternal | i don't care ;) | 12:13 |
| nixternal | add um, hack um, do whatever ;) | 12:13 |
| jenda | Actually, I think I should write a report of my activity to the ML... | 12:13 |
| jenda | hehe ;) | 12:13 |
| MitchM | =) | 12:13 |
| jenda | actually, it might be best to just commit them to bzr - we have some diy in there... damn I gotta make some order in that :( | 12:14 |
| jenda | OK - I won't touch them now, but ASAP, I'll try to figure out the best way for us to store such data. | 12:15 |
| nixternal | im talking to one of the Ubuntu Chicago guys at Ubucon right now..he is on his blackberry, chillin' with Corey Burger at the Gnome booth | 12:15 |
| === jenda inclines towards the simplicity of the ssh server. | ||
| jenda | aww | 12:15 |
| nixternal | i didn't know you could jabber with a blackberry | 12:15 |
| jenda | nixternal: Aha - I see. Yours include Kubuntu and the rest... | 12:20 |
| jenda | I wonder if I could sell those if I printed them. | 12:20 |
| jenda | (Oh, and BTW, all those stickers aren't my design. I worked only on the case badges - Ville "Commodore" Sokk designed the rest) | 12:21 |
| nixternal | i just whipped the ones on that page up in less then 5 minutes i think | 12:24 |
| nixternal | the hardest part was the rounded rectangle ;) | 12:24 |
| MitchM | you should include a batch with the url nixternal | 12:24 |
| MitchM | that way people that dont know what it is can just go to the website | 12:25 |
| nixternal | i can that | 12:26 |
| nixternal | that is actually a great idea | 12:26 |
| === nixternal gets to work | ||

| jenda | http://doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing/DIY%20Material/Batch%201,%20Stickers/poweredbyubuntularge.svg | 12:28 |
| jenda | That might be a good base for a "download Ubuntu at www.ubuntu.com" sticker... | 12:29 |

| Madpilot | nixternal, one minor tweak to the coloured version: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured.png | 08:52 |
| Madpilot | SVG here: http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured.svg | 08:52 |
| Madpilot | I'll create a space for them on the PoweredBy page in a bit | 08:53 |
| nixternal | what was the tweak | 08:53 |
| Madpilot | grey drop shadow under the logo | 08:54 |
| jenda | Madpilot: i don't think the two colors will look good on paper. | 08:55 |
| Madpilot | jenda, the dark red, you mean? I'm afraid of that myself | 08:57 |
| rjian | hello people | 08:58 |
| mdke | Madpilot: if you are tweaking, how about removing the "linux"? | 08:59 |
| nixternal | keep the linux, thats what Ubuntu is | 09:00 |
| elkbuntu | or changing it to GNU/linux | 09:00 |
| nixternal | arg, that stinkin' GNU always shovin' its nose in ;) | 09:00 |
| Madpilot | RMS/Linux ;) | 09:00 |
| elkbuntu | lol | 09:00 |
| nixternal | arg, rms is over with | 09:00 |
| nixternal | Thank you for taking part in the Microsoft Future Assured Quiz. | 09:01 |
| nixternal | Your copy of Windows Vista Beta 2 CD will be dispatched shortly | 09:01 |
| mdke | just because people are still making the mistake that the OS is called "Ubuntu Linux" and we should avoid encouraging that | 09:01 |
| jenda | Madpilot: I mean the color break... I'd go with a single color | 09:01 |
| nixternal | haha | 09:01 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, how much do your stickers cost? | 09:01 |
| jenda | Madpilot, nixternal, the name is Ubuntu - not Ubnutu Linux... | 09:02 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: $3 for 10, $5 for 20, $10 for 50 | 09:02 |
| nixternal | well "linux for human beings" wouldn't fit | 09:02 |
| jenda | err... make thta $8 for 40 - I don't have 50 left anymore :-D | 09:02 |
| mdke | yeah, nothing is better | 09:02 |
| Madpilot | nixternal, it would, but not readably :) | 09:02 |
| nixternal | and like i said...you are free to change it | 09:02 |
| elkbuntu | which currency? | 09:02 |
| nixternal | im not changing it | 09:03 |
| mdke | nixternal: what's the reason, you just don't have time, or you actively want to promote the name "Ubuntu linux"? | 09:03 |
| elkbuntu | and im willing to wait for the next batch | 09:03 |
| nixternal | i created revision 1, release it to the world..the great thing about open source is people can do what ever they want with..im promoting open source, go ahead and hack away ;) | 09:03 |
| mdke | I don't know how to change that, and Madpilot seems to be playing with it now, so I thought I'd mention it | 09:04 |
| nixternal | that, and im about to goto bed ;) | 09:04 |
| elkbuntu | nixternal, personlly, "Ubuntu Linux - Linux for Human Beings" is like saying "Automatic Teller Machine Machine" (for ATM Machine) | 09:04 |
| nixternal | i will change it eventually ;) | 09:04 |
| Madpilot | http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured2.png | 09:04 |
| nixternal | i was going to do it earlier, but got sidetracked | 09:04 |
| mdke | nice | 09:05 |
| nixternal | well see, if im sitting n the cafe, which i normall do, and people see "Powered by Ubuntu Linux" then they don't ask me what Ubuntu is, and i stay peaceful ;) | 09:05 |
| nixternal | looks good Madpilot ;) | 09:05 |
| Madpilot | thnx | 09:05 |
| elkbuntu | Madpilot, a. like the shadow, b. move "ubuntu" down a wee bit | 09:05 |
| Madpilot | use the source, elkbuntu ;) http://www.warbard.ca/temp/poweredbyubuntu-coloured2.svg | 09:07 |
| Madpilot | what's 'a wee bit'? into the middle of the box it's in? | 09:07 |
| elkbuntu | meh, i was just suggesting, it looks odd being non-centered without the 'linux' bit at the bottom to balance it | 09:08 |
| Madpilot | true | 09:08 |
| nixternal | our wiki is garbage | 09:12 |
| nixternal | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PoweredBy | 09:13 |

| mdke | thanks | 09:13 |
| nixternal | lol | 09:13 |
| nixternal | i forgot just how simple it was to just remove the linux anyways | 09:14 |

| jenda | Madpilot, nixternal, do you think I could ask you to upload your results to doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing? | 09:29 |
| jenda | I PM'd you both the password. | 09:30 |
| jenda | The password is to be given freely to all MT members who need it | 09:30 |
| nixternal | i was gonna say...i am not that cool :) but i guess i am ;) | 09:30 |
| Madpilot | jenda, the wiki can store files just fine - why spread things out further? | 09:31 |
| jenda | And... there's a DIY diractory - Please make an appropriately named subdir for your work :) | 09:31 |
| jenda | Madpilot: it would be a pain to store all the stuff in the DIY on the wiki. | 09:31 |
| jenda | A lot of work, that is. | 09:31 |
| nixternal | put it under stickers jenda? | 09:31 |
| jenda | nixternal, yes, but please make it a Batch 2 directory | 09:32 |
| nixternal | k | 09:32 |
| nixternal | are we talking svn commit here? | 09:32 |
| jenda | since I will be picking for those for the second batch... | 09:32 |
| jenda | nixternal, nope. We have a bzr branch, but it seems to be of no use - it's not accessible through browser. | 09:33 |
| nixternal | ahhh ha | 09:33 |
| nixternal | gotcha | 09:33 |
| jenda | Madpilot: or is there a simpler way? | 09:34 |
| Madpilot | jenda, for file storage? Not really, AFAIK | 09:35 |
| jenda | Now the wiki should link to the material, I agree. | 09:35 |
| jenda | So - please don't hesitate to link to that directory whereever appropriate. | 09:35 |
| nixternal | im definitely lost | 09:36 |
| jenda | hm? | 09:36 |
| nixternal | use the bzr branch on launchpad to upload to? | 09:36 |
| jenda | no! ;) | 09:36 |

| nixternal | i am in the process of upin' now ;) | 09:42 |
| jenda | OK ;) | 09:42 |
| jenda | Madpilot: In fact, I was tending towards putting the showcase material on the wiki - whatever you want people to see, and have the bulk of the source files and discarded stuff on doc.ubuntu.com/~marketing (for example, .svg files for .pngs shown on the wiki). | 09:44 |
| jenda | It would seem overkill to put all of those things on the wiki. | 09:44 |

| mindspin | hehe | 09:54 |
| mindspin | ask in #ubuntu ;-) | 09:54 |
| mindspin | I would use console | 09:55 |
| nixternal | lol | 09:55 |
| Madpilot | I could, but I'd like to get it set up in Nautilus - so convenient | 09:56 |
| mindspin | convinient, thats why I use konqui sometimes for that | 09:56 |
| nixternal | 3am and i start a freakin' vmware install | 09:57 |
| nixternal | like i need another linux distro running in vmware | 09:57 |
| jenda | Madpilot: Gnome here | 09:57 |
| jenda | but I can't see what's wrong there.. | 09:57 |

| mindspin | Madpilot: ssh is installed? | 09:58 |
| jenda | yep | 09:58 |
| jenda | Madpilot: hmm... when you click Connect to Server, don't forget to select SSH, since FTP is default... | 09:59 |
| Madpilot | mindspin, it's an outgoing SSH connection, I know they work, I just can't remember how to get Naut to cooperate :) | 09:59 |
| Madpilot | jenda, done that | 09:59 |
| jenda | hm | 09:59 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, ...schwaaaa? ssh.. click.. wtf? | 09:59 |
| jenda | works OK here | 09:59 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: sorry :) | 09:59 |
| elkbuntu | scp ftw | 09:59 |
| jenda | Madpilot: try setting /home/marketing/ as the directory... maybe we don't have permissions elsewhere.. | 10:00 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: could you send me an email with your order? I'll put you in the queue if folks don't ask for what they've ordered... | 10:00 |
| jenda | Damn, I think I'll order the next batch straight away. | 10:01 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, what currency do you need the $$ in? | 10:01 |
| === jenda slaps himself | ||
| jenda | No! | 10:01 |
| jenda | Gotta wait for feedback | 10:01 |
| jenda | That was USD, but I happily accept euro too | 10:01 |
| jenda | different price in that. | 10:01 |
| jenda | How many would you like, elkbuntu? | 10:01 |
| Madpilot | jenda, /home/marketing works - the server wasn't liking the short forms... :| | 10:02 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, just 10 | 10:02 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, im presuming you accept paypal too :P | 10:03 |
| jenda | yes | 10:04 |
| jenda | Madpilot: great ;) | 10:04 |
| elkbuntu | then i'll definately send to you in euro, so paypal doesnt steal too much of it, they like to hike the exchange rates in their favour | 10:04 |
| elkbuntu | unless you're in the states.. hard to tell with cloaked hostmasks :P | 10:05 |
| jenda | No, i'm in the Czech Republic... | 10:09 |
| jenda | and I thought USD transfers were cheaper... or at least last time I checked... | 10:09 |
| jenda | $0.30 vs 0.35... | 10:09 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, not when you then transfer it from usd to euro | 10:09 |
| jenda | ah | 10:10 |
| jenda | wow ;) | 10:10 |
| jenda | tricks | 10:10 |
| elkbuntu | they get twice the hidden exchange fee then ;) | 10:10 |
| jenda | So, how many would you like? | 10:10 |
| jenda | ah | 10:10 |
| jenda | 10 | 10:10 |
| jenda | missed it | 10:10 |
| elkbuntu | i'm writing the email now, that way you cant forget | 10:10 |
| jenda | OK ;) | 10:10 |
| jenda | thx | 10:11 |
| jenda | it's easier to track that way. | 10:11 |

| jenda | matthewrevell: Hello | 11:45 |
| matthewrevell | jenda: hi | 11:45 |
| jenda | I was thinking about the fridge+stickers a bit. I think it could make it to be a story as soon as I get a bit of feedback on from the end-users. THen i'll print a second batch, and then a bit of refridgeration would be great. I will even offer stickers for free who send stamped envelopes ;) | 11:47 |
| jenda | Except I'm not sure how I'll manage that part internationally. They'll probably have to send a dollar bill instead of a stamped envelope to pay for Czech stamps here... | 11:47 |
| === jenda saw that the fridge already had a 'free stickers' story, but the difference is that i send them out in bulk to local Marketeers :) | ||
| matthewrevell | Yep, that's great. | 11:49 |
| matthewrevell | I'm sure we can do a follow-up | 11:49 |
| matthewrevell | I think I prefer your stickers, particularly as you offer a Czech version :) | 11:49 |
| jenda | hehe | 11:52 |
| jenda | I was planning a french one, but I was afraid I wouldn't find enough of a 'market'. | 11:52 |

| jenda | Oi... if one of the people who ordered stickers want a 10 sticker bonus... i need help with creating a one or two page website for it, and it would really be a lot of work to learn for me. | 12:46 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, i can do something, and no need to worry about any bonus | 12:48 |
| jenda | hehe :) | 12:48 |
| jenda | I don't mind sending 10 more. The printer gave me a bonus anyway :) | 12:49 |
| elkbuntu | hehe | 12:49 |
| elkbuntu | i wouldnt know what to do with the extra 10 | 12:49 |
| elkbuntu | i only have 3 machines | 12:49 |
| jenda | Spread the love. | 12:51 |
| jenda | I made it 8, because that way I don't have to cut as much. | 12:51 |
| jenda | Ooh, australia. That'll probably make good use of the extra 0.50 ;) | 12:52 |
| elkbuntu | ;) | 12:53 |
| MenZa | jenda: would you mind if I sent a couple to Sweden? A guy just requested some from me. | 12:53 |
| digitalmouse | sounds like you are running a regular printing racket, jenda :-) | 12:54 |
| elkbuntu | MenZa, you can make the site for him for the bonus stickers ;) | 12:54 |
| jenda | MenZa: well what can I do ;) | 12:54 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: great idea! ;) | 12:54 |
| MenZa | jenda: it was more the fact that I already sold them to you :) | 12:54 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: MenZa has his own stickers which i bought off him... I don't remember why, though :) | 12:54 |
| elkbuntu | so you can have a collection? | 12:55 |
| jenda | MenZa: can you do basic web design? | 12:55 |
| MenZa | jenda: I can. Why? | 12:55 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: of 300 extra sticks? sure... :-D | 12:55 |

| elkbuntu | jenda, well.. case stickers dont necissarily have to show any of the case :D | 12:55 |
| jenda | MenZa: we'll make a deal - you'll make me a simple one page ubuntu-themed site (no real content needed), and you can send all you want... | 12:56 |
| MenZa | jenda: deal. Do you have any mockups ready? | 12:56 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: great point. But the keyboard of my laptop should show. | 12:56 |
| jenda | MenZa: nope | 12:56 |
| === MenZa grinds teeth | ||
| MenZa | jenda: I'll see what I can do. | 12:56 |
| MenZa | I'll look at it in an hour or two. | 12:56 |
| elkbuntu | i was going to do it but im arguing with some of my hosts atm, so im not in the best position | 12:57 |
| jenda | Basically, an Ubuntu header, and a place to put a few pictures, some descriptions and a short article describing the project should be enough. | 12:57 |
| jenda | MenZa: no hurry | 12:57 |
| MenZa | Good then :) | 12:57 |
| jenda | I'll add space later on, encouraging others to do similar projects, and offering to host those projects there as well. So that a visitor can choose from all the people who send out DIY material around the world. | 12:58 |
| MenZa | Just a single page? | 12:58 |
| elkbuntu | im having a real crap week internet wise. two webhosts being silly and brother sucked all the bandwidth so we're shaped to dialup speed :( | 12:58 |
| MenZa | Do you want room for more pages? | 12:58 |
| MenZa | e.g. a navigation bar? | 12:59 |
| jenda | If it's possible | 12:59 |

| elkbuntu | jenda, indeed | 01:01 |
| ompaul | elkbuntu, it was more like - who'd a thunk it eh? | 01:01 |
| jenda | hehe | 01:01 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, he has no sense of humour, as ompaul said | 01:01 |

| MenZa | (brb) | 01:40 |
| elkbuntu | yeah, i've been meaning too, even though i suck with xml | 01:40 |

| === jenda doesn't understand, so doesn't groan... | ||

| === jenda does, in fact. Marginally. | ||
| MenZa | Ask elkbuntu. She knows what I'm talking about. | 02:58 |
| MenZa | ;) | 02:58 |
| jenda | That i did understand :-D | 02:58 |
| jenda | In fact, I even know what they stand for. | 02:58 |
| elkbuntu | it can be, but that looks like it'll be ok, just a bit fiddly between browsers | 02:59 |
| MenZa | not necessarily. | 02:59 |
| MenZa | I just hate CSS because it's a hassle. | 02:59 |
| MenZa | And you have so much code to do. | 02:59 |
| matthewrevell | MenZa: CSS is superb! | 03:03 |
| MenZa | It does great stuff. | 03:03 |
| MenZa | But it's so faulty. | 03:03 |
| MenZa | Bug number one of CSS: The W3 are unable to properly spell words like 'colour'. | 03:03 |
| MenZa | ;) | 03:03 |
| MenZa | W3C | 03:03 |
| matthewrevell | MenZa: It's implementation varies too much between browsers, but that's largely because the W3C standards are a bit vague, AFAIK. | 03:04 |
| MenZa | Yes, they are. | 03:04 |
| elkbuntu | matthewrevell, not really.. the standards are set, ie makes up their own, firefox deviates a slight bit, opera is the most strict | 03:05 |
| MenZa | KHTML too, elkbuntu. | 03:08 |
| MenZa | I think. | 03:08 |
| MenZa | Konqueror passes the Acid2 test, right? | 03:08 |
| elkbuntu | no idea | 03:08 |
| MenZa | I believe it does. | 03:08 |

| jenda | oi ;) | 03:41 |
| jenda | If you send me your address, I can send you the stickers, you know ;) | 03:42 |
| matthewrevell | jenda: Oh, sorry, I keep forgetting. | 03:42 |
| matthewrevell | hang on | 03:42 |

| elkbuntu | jenda, how much did the postage to .au cost? | 03:44 |
| jenda | 11 CZK, prioritaire :) | 03:45 |
| jenda | which is $0.5 | 03:45 |
| jenda | (USD) | 03:45 |
| jenda | (almost exactly) | 03:45 |
| elkbuntu | ah good, the extra .5 was worth it then :) | 03:45 |
| digitalmouse | menza: if you have not already seen this: http://www.webdevout.net/browser_info_prefs.php it's a decent cross-reference to see how the different browsers stack up to the standards at the moment (might not be 'real-time', but it's recent) | 03:57 |
| MenZa | oh nice | 03:57 |
| MenZa | thanks. | 03:57 |

| jenda | great ;) | 03:58 |
| jenda | elkbuntu: Well, in fact, I already counted that in, and I counted in a fair percentage of risk-fee (to cover the expenses of lost packages, unsold stickers, unpaid-for ones etc.). | 03:59 |
| jenda | So the 50 is an appreciated tip :) | 04:00 |
| elkbuntu | fair enough :) | 04:00 |
| elkbuntu | if you havent already done so, you should set a 'pay by' period at which point they will go back on the market | 04:01 |
| elkbuntu | ie, 14 days, 21 days etc | 04:01 |
| MagicFab | hello | 04:04 |
| MagicFab | I am looking to compare Fedora and ubuntu in servers environment. Does anyone know of resources with white paper /case study structure ? | 04:05 |
| jenda | I guess i'have to do that, yeah. | 04:05 |
| jenda | hmm | 04:05 |
| jenda | Afraid not, MagicFab.. | 04:05 |
| matthewrevell | MagicFab: Hmmm, it'd be great if we did. | 04:05 |
| matthewrevell | MagicFab: I'll put it on the list of things to do. | 04:06 |
| MagicFab | I have a customer for 4 servers pushing for Fedora, unless I can prove my point :) | 04:06 |
| elkbuntu | hmm.. the security response time article would be a good start | 04:07 |
| matthewrevell | MagicFab: Canonical are gathering case studies at the moment, but I don't know if anything they have is comparative. | 04:08 |
| matthewrevell | jenda: I think we need to greatly simplify the "Marketing team purpose" section of the wiki page | 04:08 |
| MagicFab | elkbuntu, nice suggestion, I have it somewhere | 04:09 |
| elkbuntu | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/481 | 04:09 |
| jenda | matthewrevell: agreed... for ages :) | 04:09 |
| matthewrevell | MagicFab: I think Fedora and Ubuntu come equal on that case study. | 04:09 |
| matthewrevell | elkbuntu: Definitely a good suggestion tho | 04:09 |
| matthewrevell | jenda: I'd like to see something very simple there. We have too little structure to be too specific, at the moment. | 04:10 |
| matthewrevell | jenda: I'll post suggested text to the ML | 04:10 |
| elkbuntu | did jb unsubscribe? | 04:11 |
| matthewrevell | elkbuntu: yep | 04:11 |
| elkbuntu | ok then.. because he'd probably take this as proving him right and he'd jump right back in | 04:11 |
| === mindspin [n=mindspin@pD95FEAD2.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| matthewrevell | elkbuntu: What, changing some of the text on the team wiki page? | 04:12 |
| elkbuntu | i dunno.. i sorta think he was wanting to do that or something, or that's the jist i got from his rambling | 04:13 |
| matthewrevell | I think there was a lot going on that he felt uncomfortable with | 04:14 |
| === sara [n=sara@pool-70-106-97-34.pskn.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-marketing | ||
| elkbuntu | Meanwhile.. i really dont get why people do this: "The newest Ubuntu Cluster is: ubuntu (1 Ubuntu Dapper)" | 04:14 |
| jenda | Probably because they do not know what a cluster is. | 04:15 |
| jenda | It shouldn't be too difficult to prevent that, no? | 04:16 |
| elkbuntu | jenda, in the user cp it says cluster/network | 04:17 |
| jenda | hm | 04:18 |
| elkbuntu | it doesnt matter really | 04:18 |
| elkbuntu | still gets counted up right... it's just there to let people with 101 machines add them as easily as if they had 1 | 04:18 |
| jenda | right | 04:19 |
| jenda | cool | 04:19 |
| elkbuntu | hmm maybe they might consider them a cluster because of distributed clustering | 04:19 |
| jenda | Hello sara | 04:20 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | elkbuntu, 1 box is 1 box. :) | 04:21 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | if they are a node on seti, they dont /own/ a cluster | 04:21 |
| === Kamping_Kaiser goes back under his hole | ||
| elkbuntu | i know.. the cluster thing is a convenience thing more than a statistical thing | 04:22 |
| jenda | Kamping_Kaiser: BTW, i got Canonical's approval on the easyubuntu logo | 04:23 |
| jenda | I _think_ I sent it to the EU ML | 04:23 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | jenda, rock on :). thanks mate | 04:23 |
| jenda | np | 04:23 |
| === Kamping_Kaiser hasnt got email from that list for yonks, dont know if i'm on it | ||
| jenda | I think it doesn't work, anyway :) | 04:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ok, RFC: should i (try and) do tafe work , or (try and) write a letter of resignation? | 04:26 |

| === Kamping_Kaiser slaps MenZa before he gets poked | ||
| MenZa | And elkbuntu, how'd that discussion with your host end up? | 05:45 |
| === MenZa wasn't going to poke Kamping_Kaiser | ||
| MenZa | You're not exclusive enough. | 05:45 |
| MenZa | :) | 05:45 |

| MenZa | ;\ | 05:45 |
| MenZa | How's the design? | 05:46 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :) | 05:46 |
| === ompaul pokes MenZa I'll look in a few minutes | ||
| MenZa | Right :) | 05:46 |
| elkbuntu | the gold around the edges doesnt match with the rest in ie6 in wine | 05:47 |
| ompaul | MenZa, CHANGE that bit now: Current number of machines running Ubuntu: To Current number of counted boxes we think there are about 6 million but hey we won't know til they are counted :) | 05:47 |
| MenZa | heh | 05:47 |
| elkbuntu | ompaul, lol | 05:48 |
| === MenZa kinda like sthe outcome | ||
| MenZa | likes the* | 05:48 |
| elkbuntu | take the link colours up a touch in darkness, the colour on the white is a bit fuzzy with my eyes | 05:49 |
| elkbuntu | even worse in the counter box :| | 05:49 |
| MenZa | elkbuntu: refresh. | 05:54 |
| elkbuntu | yeah that's better | 05:55 |
| MenZa | :) | 05:55 |
| elkbuntu | i wouldnt bother about the ie thing.. unless it does it in native as well | 05:56 |
| MenZa | IE? | 05:56 |
| MenZa | Er | 05:56 |
| MenZa | "IE thing" | 05:56 |
| MenZa | :p | 05:56 |
| elkbuntu | <elkbuntu> the gold around the edges doesnt match with the rest in ie6 in wine | 05:56 |
| MenZa | oh? | 06:00 |
| MenZa | that's because IE6 = horrible at rendering PNGs. | 06:01 |
| MenZa | :p | 06:01 |
| MenZa | But I refuse to use any other file format (oh, such a rebel I am | 06:01 |
| MenZa | ) | 06:01 |
| elkbuntu | hehe | 06:01 |
| MenZa | IE6 is teh lose :p | 06:04 |

| elkbuntu | or check the counter ;) | 06:59 |
| ompaul | Register with the counter | 06:59 |
| ompaul | elkbuntu, then it is incumbent on you to provide a path back to where it came from if it came from "a recognised" ubuntu site :) | 06:59 |

| === MitchM lost his ubuntu counter username & e-mail isnt working.... | ||
