[06:16] hehe. svg makes it painfully easy :) [06:16] use a rougher font for your additions, though - there are lots of 'distressed typewriter' fonts around [06:16] yes, SVG rocks [06:16] try dafont.com for piles of free-as-in-beer fonts, including lots of rough/distressed ones [06:18] dafont even has an entire font category called "Typewriter": http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=113 [06:19] yeah, i see. i'll check it out [06:19] hmmm === rexbron [n=rexbron@199.212.72.37] has joined #ubuntu-marketing [06:37] how do i either render the text, or embed the font? [06:38] Joe_CoT, select the text, then go Path -> Object To Path [06:39] yes, just found that :) thanks [06:39] only do that when you're SURE it's all proofread, because once that's done, it's not text anymore [06:39] and you can't convert path back to text [06:39] yeah [06:42] i'm just gonna hide the original text in a layer for now, till we decide on something [06:45] that works. [06:49] alright, uploaded the new ones. now it's pretty, but I still need wittier text :D [06:49] also, pathing text really seems to add to the file size [06:50] it does, text = complex outlines [06:52] Joe_CoT, too much text in the 'The Ubuntu New Jersey Team is..." section [06:53] yeah. just dunno what to make it. I put that there as a placeholder, mostly, because the text sucks [06:56] plunder freely.

[09:37] I felt betrayed ;) [09:37] this part of Canada hardly ever gets snow, that's why only 6-10 inches of the stuff has f'd up the city so bad [09:37] Which part is it? [09:37] I lived in Fredericton. [09:37] Victoria [09:37] cool [09:37] I guess we've had 10 inches during the winter too. [09:38] I was imagining one of those Canadian snow-ins with 6 feet of snow, rather :) [09:38] meh. We had one of those (~1m of snow in 30hrs or so) back in 1996 - that was memorable! [09:38] hehe :) [09:39] I saw a picture of the house I lived in during one of those. [09:39] It must've been 6, maybe 10 feet.

[12:45] said nothing, or received nothing yet, elkbuntu{ [12:46] um... im saying things when you prompt me jenda, what is the problem? [12:48] I was enquiring if you received a package yet, but didn't realise you're busy. sry [12:49] oh.. package. no, not today. it's not that im busy, rather sleepy and confused at how you were asking [12:49] ok :) [12:49] Disregard me, I can be confusing during sociology class... [12:50] how unsociable of you : [12:53] [01:09] I might be a bit dense, but I can't quite tell if Corey's post on planet is pro or anti blobs [01:09] I don't have the impression it's either. [01:09] YoussefAssad, anti. [01:10] elkbuntu: oh, okay. Congrues with my opinion then [01:10] YoussefAssad: isn't it both? [01:10] But it obviously states the nonsense of accepting some blobs for bling and not taking other, more important ones. [01:10] davehat: I can see I'm not the only confused soul. [01:10] that covers all interpretations then :) [01:10] apart from pro [01:10] jenda_: Yes, but I can see that sort of opinion prevaling in the current ubuntu atmosphere mind ye [01:10] davehat, the way i understand it, he's saying 'it's bad, but you might as well go all the way if you're going to go part of it' [01:11] the good man can correct me if i've missed the point [01:11] Or maybe corey's flipflopping; preparations for a run for congress, taking the solid center and refusing to commit to a platform === jenda_ prods the good man...

[01:11] jenda_: I'm just being silly [01:12] I know :) [01:12] elkbuntu: actually, I think that's how I read it [01:13] what are we talking about? [01:13] my personal view: i dont mind forcing blobs to make things functional. i do mind forcing not only blobs, but bling as well. [01:13] i found compiz/beryl to be a pain to have enabled all the time [01:14] hehe [01:14] true that [01:18] elkubuntu: its also a nightmare to install. I reckon a large number of people must give up before they get it installed - and they're the people who actually wanted it in the first place. (Sorry, I realise this has been re-hashed ad nauseam and this ain't the channel for it either).
