lotusleafminus the who part to see comments07:05
lotusleafMadpilot: no doubt, my site's been handling it fine, despite lots of folks direct linking to the large png ;)07:06
lotusleafMadpilot: in the forum thread ppl have been asking for larger resolutions, you may want to check the thread07:06

lotusleafMadpilot: I have no problems hosting any further good obey stuff you may have, as always just let me know07:06

lotusleafMadpilot: just think, now tons of websites will now OBEY! UBUNTU with your artwork =)07:25
Madpilotviralness is fun07:25
lotusleafI'll have to slap a small thumb of it on every page of my site with the redesign07:25
lotusleafMadpilot: heheheh07:25
lotusleaf<zakame> eerm KFC beat us all07:39
lotusleafthat gets me thinking07:39
lotusleafre: the KFC ad seen from space thing07:39
lotusleafhow about a giant obey ubuntu ad? :P07:39
tonyyarussolotusleaf: yipe's in SD - they have lots of space07:44
lotusleaftonyyarusso: indeed. Why, can't you see it now? a circle of people joining hands and laughing up into the sky as they dance around in an ubuntu logo crop circle?07:45
tonyyarussolotusleaf: Actually...kind of07:46
lotusleafa huge obey poster would really show up good on google earth though, if placed ontop a field07:46
MadpilotThere was a Firefox crop circle07:48
tonyyarussowhaa?  weird thing - http://transcended.org/ resolves to localhost07:49
lotusleafMadpilot: ya? before or after the NYT ad?07:49
Madpilotlotusleaf, no idea of the timeframe; it was done in Oregon, I think, by a LUG. There's a huge photo gallery up somewhere.07:50
lotusleafMadpilot: that rocks, I'll have to google it07:50
lotusleafMadpilot: pop goes the server: "The requested URL /~marketing/DIY Material/Ubuntu_Posters_Roughcut/ was not found on this server." @ doc.ubuntu.com08:06
lotusleafMadpilot: my mirror's still holding up well no probs yet =)08:06
Madpilotthe marketing server gets rebuilt from bzr once a day, try it again in a bit08:06
lotusleafMadpilot: oh yeah, forgot. ;P08:06
lotusleafthere we go08:07
lotusleafMadpilot: someone suggested that you make the posse poster more grainy08:07
lotusleafMadpilot: perhaps to coincide with the rough texture of the obey giant esque style08:07
elkbuntuthe posse poster? show me show me show me08:08
Madpilothmm. I'll think about it08:08
lotusleafMadpilot: personally, I like it the way it is now08:08
Madpilotelkbuntu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=29674208:08
Madpilotlotusleaf, yeah08:09
lotusleafelkbuntu: http://lotusleafslinks.tuxfamily.org/obeyubuntu/ <-- bottom of the page08:09
lotusleafelkbuntu: I didn't post the larger pic though cuz he's not finished =)08:09
MadpilotI think it's incredibly ironic that we're going to all this effort to reproduce mistakes that printers try not to make :)08:09
lotusleaflol08:09
lotusleafMadpilot: yeah well remember the ripped jeans fad, where people would buy new jeans and rip them?08:09
Madpilotor reproduce artifacts (like grain) that're traditionally the result of cheap printing processes08:10
elkbuntuhaha nice08:10
MadpilotLevi's still sells pre-ripped/pre-faded jeans08:10
MadpilotModern printing is so good we have to fake low quality :)08:11
lotusleafMadpilot: they do? jeez08:11
lotusleafI hope boingboing runs the obey ubuntu piece08:13
