HobbseeRiddell!!!12:49
Riddellmorning Hobbsee12:49
Hobbseeheya12:49
=== Hobbsee dances around - no work today!!!
Riddellwell I was waiting for the announcement on u-d-a for herd 2 but that doesn't seem to be happening12:50
HobbseeRiddell: well, it exists, because i proof read it.12:50
=== Hobbsee wonders if it's in moderation
Riddellwell kubuntu.org points to the Herd2 page now12:53
mhbHi Riddell, Hobbsee12:53
mhbRiddell: thanks12:53
Hobbseehey mhb :)12:53
mhbRiddell: it seems screenshots are available too12:54
mhbhttp://shots.linuxquestions.org/?linux_distribution_sm=Kubuntu%207.04%20Alpha%20212:54
kwwiiRiddell: dude, herd2 works great12:57
kwwiiother than the funky installation stuff12:58
kwwiiRiddell: the partioner scared the shit out of me12:58
kwwiibut in the end it works great12:58
Hobbseekwwii: why so?12:58
kwwiiHobbsee: because the first page was empty for about 10 minutes12:58
Hobbseeah12:58
kwwiiand then qparted popped up about 100x10012:58
kwwiiand I had no idea what to do with it12:59
kwwiionly after clicking on next did I see the actual partitions to install on12:59
kwwiivery confusing12:59
kwwiiand I kinda know what I am doing in that sense12:59
kwwiianyway12:59
kwwiiin the end, other than that, I am impressed01:00
kwwiipowermanager works now, as do the special keys to change the monitor brightness, etc01:00
kwwiimuch better than edgy01:00
Hobbseehehe, nice :)01:02
kwwiiwell, let me see if I can get my wlan working :p01:03
kwwiiI am building the latest inkscape now, it seem to build fine01:03
Zerlinnanight all01:03

Zerlinnamhb: ;) ... und weg01:04
kwwiiif nothing else, I'l bug someone in oslo about getting the wlan working :p01:05
Hobbseekwwii: what's wrong with the wlan?01:05
kwwiithat is the best reason to attend such meetings if you ask me ;-)01:05
kwwiiHobbsee: this is a ppc machine..gotta cut the openfirmware from the cd, etc.01:06

Hobbseehey bobesponja :)01:07
bobesponjahey Hobbsee01:07
kwwiidude, you do not know how much I love sponge bob01:07
bobesponjakde mounts my ipod as read-only and I can't transfer my mp3s on it, that's weird cause it used to work before01:07
bobesponjakwwii: any idea what's wrong?01:09
kwwiibobesponja: no idea, I'll try it with my ipod tomorrow :-)01:10
Hobbseebobesponja: is it mounted as root?01:10
kwwiionce I find the cable01:10
bobesponjaHobbsee: no it's mounted as regular user01:11
Hobbseehrm01:11
bobesponjaHobbsee: using the kautomount or whatever it's called01:11
kwwiianyone here know where I put that stupid cable?01:13
mhbkwwii: everyone in germany loves that01:13
bobesponja /dev/sdb3 on /media/ipod type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000) that's what mount says01:14
Hobbseehrm01:15
Hobbseedunno on that one01:15
kwwiihehe, I found it!01:15
kwwiiamazing01:15
kwwiiman, this evening is going pretty well01:16
kwwiihrm01:17
kwwiidoesn't work here either01:17
bobesponjakwwii: do you use edgy with all the latest updates?01:17
kwwiiapparently one needs to add a precommand or such01:17
kwwiibobesponja: on edgy it worked great for me01:18
kwwiibobesponja: but on feisty it does not01:18
bobesponjakwwii: here too but since the latest update it doesn't and I'm still on edgy01:18
kwwiiprobably the same problem then01:18
bobesponjakwwii: what precommand did you use?01:18
kwwiibobesponja: none01:18
kwwiion my old edgy system it needs none01:19
bobesponjathe latest update was on the kernel I think01:19
kwwiiwell, it does not work here, even with the suggested precommand01:20
kwwiiluckily I still have osx01:21
kwwii:p01:21
bobesponjakwwii: what is that suggested pre command?01:21
kwwiimount %d01:21
kwwiiat least, it says that in the pop-up01:21
kwwiibut even when I try to simply mount it as device it does not work01:22
kwwiisomething is wrong on the kernel level, I guess01:22
kwwiinormally it finds it as external drive01:22
kwwiiyepp, on my old edgy system it works fine01:23
bobesponjakwwii: but is it updated?01:24
kwwiihrm it says read-only although it mounts it01:25
kwwiifunky01:25
kwwiiyeah, it is updated01:25
kwwiion feisty it does not work at all01:25
kwwiinot even to mount it01:25
kwwiiwell, I can get it working by mounting the device through /media/01:28
kwwiion edgy that is01:28
kwwiion feisty it does not work at all01:28
bobesponjabut on edgy can yo uwrite on it ?01:29
kwwiinope01:30
kwwiinot even as root01:30
kwwiijust tried in the terminal as root01:31
kwwiifscked up01:31
kwwiion suse it works great :p01:31
kwwiithen again, I know the guy who takes care of that personally01:31
kwwii;-)01:31
bobesponjakwwii: on suse?01:32
kwwiialways good to have lots of friends who are developers01:32
kwwiibobesponja: yepp01:32
bobesponjaok, I'm only on kubuntu :/01:32
kwwiiyeah, in the meantime I only run kubuntu too, but I have one system to test suse01:32
kwwiiand I must say that ipods always work because of Norm (Henne Vogelsang)01:33
kwwiigreat guy, but I still won't use suse01:33
kwwii:p01:33
bobesponjayep, but I think there's a general problem with mount, not with ipods01:33
bobesponjaanywho, that sucks :/01:34
manchickenThat's okay, SuSE will be in violation of the GPLv3 when it's released anyway.01:34
manchicken^_^01:34
kwwiiwell, chmod does not work eithUnnamed01:34
kwwiierm01:34
kwwiieither01:34
kwwiifunky01:35
kwwiino idea01:35
kwwiitime to reboot into osx where ipods and wlan works :p01:35
kwwiiand the battery more than 1.5 hour lasts01:35
kwwiifunky how bad kubuntu is with the battery01:35
kwwiiI mean, in osx I get 4-5 hours out of it01:36
kwwiiand in linux 1.501:36
kwwiihorrible, really01:36
kwwiiand I could cook an egg on it01:36
kwwiimy hands start to sweat01:36
bobesponjakwwii: linux 1.5?01:37
kwwiione and half hours01:37
kwwiiand it says that my cpu is only running at 833MHz01:38
kwwiiwhich cannot be right01:38
mhbkwwii: I have the same problem01:38
kwwiiand/or the powermanager info is incorrect01:38
bobesponjamhb: does yo ipod work on it?01:38
mhbkwwii: well, not with the same machine, but it also drains life quickly01:38
mhbbobesponja: a CD player is all I own, sorry01:39
bobesponjamhb: but yo udo have a mac though :)01:39
bobesponjaright?01:39
kwwiiI only have macs :-)01:40
kwwiiso I am screwed01:40
kwwiiI guess it is my fault for choosing this job :p01:40
bobesponjakwwii: what's your job?01:41
kwwiiartist01:41
mhbbobesponja: not even that ...01:41
bobesponjakwwii: ever heard of the gimp? :)01:42
kwwiiif I did not have a mac, I would loose lots of jobs and/or have to buy lots of new software which does not work so well and always work around using MS crap01:42
mhbgood night everyone01:42
kwwiibobesponja: sure, and I use it a lot but that is not realistic in the proffesional art world01:42
kwwiigreat stuff, but not ready for the real world yet01:42
kwwiijust try and make decent cmyk stuff with gimp01:43
kwwiior decent 3d rendering with blender01:43
kwwiior decent vector art with inkscape01:43
kwwiiit is all the same01:43
bobesponjakwwii: the elephant movie looked pretty to me01:43
kwwiiit comes close and in some cases I can use it, but mainly I need real software01:43
kwwiibobesponja: naaaa, they spent months on making those few minutes01:44
kwwiisorry, but that is not realistic01:44
bobesponjakwwii: that's because they were few people working on it01:44
kwwiiI could show you things I made that are as good as that which only took me a few weeks01:44
kwwiibobesponja: I did stuff like that alone within weeks01:45
kwwiiI mean, I know some of the people who did that, and I am impressed that they got that far01:45
kwwiibut it is not ready for the real world yet01:45
kwwiiI do a lot of video editing...what does one use in linux? nothing is as good as the hardware stuff available for other systems01:46
bobesponjawow then if you can do movies like the elephant in few weeks, why don't you make an entire movie like this? that would be like a new pixar or something in less than a year01:46
kwwiiI have a media100 system (used for making quite a few films) and it is way better than anything under linux01:46
kwwiibobesponja: I have made two music videos and quite a few commerials for siemens with that sytem01:47
kwwiinot mention quite a few other smaller companies01:47
kwwiithe hard part is getting into the business01:47
kwwiino, a few minutes is one thing, and *really* hard01:48
kwwiimaking a whole film is something completely different01:48
kwwiiand making it really proffesional is another step above that01:48
kwwiitrust me, if you have never worked in the field it all looks a lot easier than you would guess01:49
bobesponjakwwii: do you do artwork for kubuntu?01:50
kwwiibobesponja: yepp01:50
bobesponjakwwii: I know it's hard, that's why I'm surprised yo ucould do the same as the elephant in few weeks01:50
bobesponjabut I think they worked on new features in the process, that's why it took so much time plus it's very polished01:51
kwwiiwell, with propriatary systems you buy plugins (or write them yourself and sell them as we did) and it is a lot easier01:51
kwwiiyeah, that is exactly the point01:51
kwwiithey had to develop the software for more than half of what they did01:52
kwwiimaking things move like real bodies, etc01:52
kwwiinot to mention that the renderer itself is simply not the same quality as proprietary sytems01:52
kwwiithat is why people pay money for thingts01:52
kwwiithings move so fast in that world that you either keep up, push things further or fall behind01:53
kwwiiit really costs a lot of money01:53
kwwiino matter what01:53
bobesponjaapache is free and it's better than anything out there, so you don't _allways_ have to pay money for things01:53
kwwiiand remeber that they got a lot of money to do what they did01:53
kwwiiit is not like they did it for free01:53
kwwiiyeah, but that kind of stuff is different than multimedia stuff01:54
kwwiitrust me, try it and find out01:54
bobesponjait's not different,  they just need to catch up a little, they'll probably get there in a couple or year01:57
bobesponjaof year01:57
kwwiimaybe in several years but by then the expensive software will be way beyond that01:59
kwwiiof course, there are parts of it that is very usable but there are effects that are created new for every new project02:00
kwwiiyou cannot imagine how much money is put into such stuff02:00
kwwiithat is why I got out of the business even though I was paying lots of money for software and trying to write certain parts myself02:00
bobesponjayes but they can't beat a community of thousands of developpers, just like microsoft couldn't do better than firefox with ie7 even though it has billions02:01
kwwiisure, maybe in 20 years we will have that kind of thing02:02
kwwiibut for now, that world is not the world of most open source devs02:02
bobesponjalol 20 years? yo must be new to FOSS02:02
kwwiialthough they could rock in it and make killer shit, it is not *that* hard02:02
kwwiiin the end it is replicating physics or faking it02:02
kwwiibut there is not enough interest in it02:02
kwwiiinstead we have 5 text editors02:03
kwwiiI mean, why doesn't linux have really good vector editor yet?02:03
kwwiithat would be the first thing you need to make good 3d graphic s02:03
kwwiibut even that is missing02:03
bobesponjainkscape is half way there already02:04
kwwiiyeah, exactly, it is halfway there02:04
kwwiiand how well can I use a program that is halfway there as artists02:04
kwwiiwell, I get 50% of what I want out of it02:04
kwwiiif I really know what I am doing, I get 70%02:05
kwwiibelieve me, I try to use inkscape as much as possible02:05
kwwiibut I have a list of things that are missing since years02:05
kwwiiand the never get done02:05
kwwiibecause nobody cares02:06
bobesponjawell if you can do 70% with a new project like inkscape I guess in a couple of years it should be 100% :)02:06
kwwiidevs think they are unimportant02:06
bobesponjawell, devs work for free so...02:06
kwwiithey would rather tell me how amazing it as and how if I worked around that stuff and accepted that it is not possible I could make good work02:06
kwwiiyepp, true, and I accept that02:07
kwwiibut still02:07
kwwiireality is reality02:07
kwwiiand I need to earn money02:07
kwwiiheck, just try to make anything in cmyk in linux02:07
bobesponjakrita02:07
kwwiiforget it02:07
kwwiiyou cannot proof it02:07
kwwiiso you make some file but you do not know how it really looks02:07
kwwiiand that does not go over well with the company who is paying you money02:08
bobesponjakrita does manage cmyk02:08
kwwiiwhen they pay money for the print stuff and it looks different than the stuff on the screen02:08
kwwiino, krita includes that colorscpace02:08
kwwiitha is all02:08
kwwiithat02:08
kwwiiit cannot show me how it will look when printed02:09
kwwiievery printer is different02:09
kwwiiand has a profile02:09
kwwiiI need that info to know how it will really look in the end02:09
kwwiihonestly, it is like me saying "coding is just a text file"02:09
bobesponjathere are some open printers drivers02:09
kwwiiwhy can't I just write a simple text file saying what I need02:10
kwwiiyeah, there are a few02:10
kwwiiand they do not even work that well02:10
kwwiinor do most of the printers use them02:10
kwwiiand what about fonst?02:10
kwwiifonst02:10
kwwiiahhh02:10
kwwiifonts02:10
kwwiilets use open source fonts!02:10
kwwiihahaha02:11
kwwiiforget it02:11
kwwiithe spacing it wrong02:11
kwwiithe font hints are crap02:11
kwwiior missing02:11
kwwiiforget it02:11
bobesponjathey look good to me02:11
kwwiiyeah02:11
bobesponjaand there are plenty of them02:11
kwwiisure02:11
kwwiitry and make money with taht02:11
kwwiibelieve me02:12
kwwiiI have had this conversation with sooooo many people02:12
kwwiiit is as naive as me saying a source file is a text file02:12
bobesponjahmm, well it is a text file02:12
kwwiisorry, but developers then to think things are sooo simple becuase they can do what they do02:13
manchickenkwwii: So join the project.02:13
kwwiihonestly, if you were in the business you would see why things are as they are, anything else is naive02:14
kwwiimanchicken: which project?02:14
manchickenkwwii: And coding IS just working with a text file ^_^02:14
manchickeninkscape02:14
kwwiiand how much time do I have as artist to do that kind of thing02:14
bobesponjayep, a source file is a textfile02:14
kwwiimanchicken: I have entered important bugs in inkscape years ago, but they ignore them02:15
manchickenkwwii: No less than I have as a programmer.02:15
manchickenkwwii: So help.02:15
kwwiibecause they mistakingly think they know better02:15
manchickenThat's what I do.02:15
kwwiiit is sad02:15
manchickenSo make some free software fonts.02:15
kwwiiI have soo much good input02:15
kwwiiand they ignore it02:15
manchickenBut no help02:15
kwwiibut luckily the koffice people are listening02:15
kwwiithe new koffice stuff should be pretty good02:15
kwwiiat least in the vector tools02:16
manchickenYou've gotta be willing to do more than complain and suggest.  At the very least join in on the QA stuff.02:16
kwwiidude, making fonts is something that people do for a fulltime job02:16
bobesponjamanchicken: he does  artwork for kubuntu though02:16
manchickenThat's good ^_^02:16
kwwiiI could not do that without years of experience02:16
manchickenkwwii: Nonsense.02:17
kwwiino, not nonsense02:17
kwwiitry it02:17
Hobbseehehe.  i think manchicken just suffered from an episode of "foot in mouth" disease there02:17
manchickenkwwii: I have.02:17
kwwiiand try to earn money with it02:17
kwwiihonestly02:17
kwwiiit is easy to make one that looks good to you02:17
kwwiibut make one that is really good02:17
manchickenHobbsee: Naw, I just see people complaining about things that they're not willing to fix, and have to point out the obvious solution. ^_^02:17
kwwiinothing in the opensource world comes close to arial or any of the other02:18
kwwiis02:18
manchickenkwwii: I earn money with Free software every day.02:18
bobesponjamanchicken: what's your job?02:18
kwwiibut not with fonts02:18
manchickenI'm a programmer.02:18
manchickenkwwii: How hard is it to make a font?02:18
bobesponjamanchicken: I know :) but who do yo work for?02:18
kwwiilool02:18
kwwiilol02:18
kwwiirotfl02:18
kwwiiexactly02:18
kwwiihow hard is it02:19
kwwiiand how would you know?02:19
manchickenbobesponja: I work for an advertising company.  We provide online advertising services.02:19
manchickenkwwii: Can't be that hard.02:19
kwwiiand how many open source fonts does your company use?02:19
kwwiimanchicken: WRONG02:19
bobesponjakwwii: dejavu looks better tan arial to me02:19
kwwiiyeah, to the blind eye it is great02:20
manchickenkwwii: Software services don't really make much use of fonts.02:20
kwwiiand for online purposes some of them are ok02:20
crimsundude, typography is friggin hard02:20
kwwiipeople earn millions making fonts02:20
manchickenSo?02:20
kwwiiit is naivite to think that everything is simple02:21
kwwiiyepp02:21
kwwiihonestly02:21
manchickenSimple?  No.02:21
manchickenPossible to help, yes.02:21
bobesponjaI guess I must be blind then 8)02:22
kwwiiperhaps one day things will be different but to ask people who need to pay their rent and feed their kids to use such stuff is silliness02:22
kwwiianyway02:22
kwwiitime for bed02:22
manchickenkwwii: It must be nice to complain about something you're unwilling to help.02:23
kwwiisee you all tomorrow02:23
kwwiimanchicken: dude, I do help, all the time02:23
kwwiiwhy do you think I am here?02:23
kwwiiI mean, I have only done open source stuff for 9 years now02:23
crimsunI think he has a "right" to complain as the kubuntu artwork lead.02:23
kwwiibut that does not change the facts all the sudden02:23
bobesponjakwwii: using propriatary software?02:23
manchickenThen why not help out with fonts then?02:23
kwwiibobesponja: for certain things, like printing, yes02:24
kwwiimanchicken: why don't you work as an architect?02:24
manchickenkwwii: I don't want to, and I have no desire to.02:24
kwwiiit is a specialty02:24
manchickenNaw.02:24
kwwiiand I have no desire to work in that specialty02:24
kwwiioh, yes it is02:25
kwwiiand if you say different then you prove your ignorance02:25
manchickenThat's the problem I have with traditional thinking like that.  what says I can't learn to do architecture?02:25
kwwiiever heard of font hinting?02:25
crimsunhe's not saying you can't learn02:25
manchickenNope.  I don't do the font thing.  But if I had a problem, I could learn.02:25
kwwiihonestly, it is really hard02:25
manchickenHave you tried?02:25
manchickenI think you could do well if you tried.02:25
kwwiiand I am not about to start working on something that I simply do not have enough time to get really good at02:26
kwwiiyes, I have treid02:26
kwwiitried02:26
kwwiiI made the suse font02:26
kwwiiout of several other fonts02:26
manchickenThen you *ARE* helping ^_^02:26
kwwiiand it is still shit, when it comes to printing02:26
manchickenAnd you should have said that before.02:26
manchicken:)02:26
kwwii:p02:26
crimsunhe did02:26
manchickenNo, he said he did artwork ;)02:26
manchicken(and HE didn't say it, someone else did)02:27
manchicken:P02:27
bobesponjai did :)02:27
=== crimsun decides he has a thousand other bugs to triage
manchickenI don't know art from fart, but that never stopped me from trying.02:27
bobesponjaart from fart? let me note that down :)02:28
manchickenbobesponja: It's a good one.  Use it.02:28
manchickenBack in a bit.02:28
kwwiioh mean02:29
kwwiimean02:29
kwwiiahhh02:29
kwwiiman02:29
kwwiibobesponja: have a bit of respect for things you know nothing about02:29
kwwiiI try as hard as I can to do everything with OSS02:30

kwwiisorry02:32
bobesponjano problem02:32
kwwiione day I am going to go into a devel channel and give devs nothing but shit for never making a decent vector editor02:32
kwwiiI mean, how hard can it be? :-)02:33
Hobbseekwwii: heh.  you'll get banned, probably :P02:33
bobesponjait's easy, that's why we're already half way there with inkscape and koffice02:33

bobesponjabut when you say vector, do you mean svg?02:36
bobesponjaI thought flake was only about inserting shapes into documents02:37
bobesponjanot a svg thing02:37
kwwiino, I mean the tools used to make vectors02:37
kwwiithe export functions are something else02:37

wgwI had heard that the Kubuntu project was short of graphics designers?09:08
kwwiiwgw: definitely09:12
kwwiiwgw: I have been doing quite a bit of work on the artwork for the last two releases09:12
wgwI'm a designer (among other things), primarily from the branding sidde09:14
wgwbut I'm interested in getting into interaction design and doing GPL and BSD licensed design for FOSS projects09:14
wgwso if you'd like a hand, I might be willing to help out09:14
kwwiiwgw: sounds great!09:14
wgwone question though, does Shuttleworth control the Kubuntu artwork?09:15
kwwiilol09:15
wgwbecause I don't want to wind up like the designers who were working on Ubuntu 609:15
kwwiiwell, I was the "artist in chief" for kubuntu last time around, and he actually stayed out of it completely09:15
kwwiiso, the answer is no09:16
kwwiiubuntu is, in a way, his baby ;-)09:16
kwwiiwe have much free-er reign over kubuntu09:16
wgwdo you work for Canonical?09:16
kwwiiwgw: good question...my answer would be "today, no...next week, yes"09:18
wgwok09:18
wgwwell it sounds interesting09:18
kwwiiI had two short term contracts for both dapper and edgy09:18
wgwI also like the sort of Africanness of Ubuntu, having done some consulting work in Ghana09:19
kwwiiand I'll be working for them again, although I am not 100% certain exactly what my job will entail yet09:19
wgwwhich is of course quite different from South Africa09:19
wgwalthough a lot of the businesses seem to be run by South Africans09:19
kwwiiwgw: I really love the colors and feeling in the ubuntu stuff09:19
wgwyes, I love the color palette09:19
kwwiivery warm and friendly09:19
wgwit was really daring to go for the brown09:19
wgwand it makes it look unique09:19
wgwrather than like a Windows clone09:19
kwwiidefinitely09:20
kwwiihave you seen edgy?09:20
wgwI haven't used Kubuntu yet, I guess I'd better reinstall Ubuntu into a virtual machine and then install the Kubuntu and Xubuntu packages09:20
wgwnot yet09:20
kwwiiI kinda went in the direction of purple09:20
wgwpurple can be interesting, although you'll want to avoid looking too much like Gentoo09:21
kwwiialthough the colors used are not really purple, people tend to think they are09:21
kwwiiyeah, that is true (and you are the first one to mention that)09:21
kwwiivery good point though09:21
wgwwhat I'm really hoping to do in terms of interaction design is to execute an idea I have for a new type of program launching/file browsing/desktop type of affair09:22
wgwit will be a GPL-licensed UI that will essentially be installed as a mod of GNOME or KDE09:22
wgw(rather than as a completely seperate desktop environment)09:22
kwwiiwow, that sounds killer09:22
kwwiisounds like the stuff I have heard many large companies asking for09:23
wgwas I see it, a really good UI is needed to help Linux compete with Mac OS X, and to a lesser extent, Vista, although I see Mac OS X being increasingly the biggest competitor of FOSS operating systems09:23
kwwiiyeah, me too (I only have macs at home)09:23
wgwbecause people are already recognizing that they should get off Windows, and at the moment, the Apple, with its really sharp UI, offers the most compelling platform for them to do it with09:23
kwwiiI see mac going in the direction of smaller devices with simplified interfaces to "just get the job done"09:23
wgwright09:24
kwwiiin the end, you have to ask yourself what people really use their computers for09:24
wgwI also use a Mac, although in terms of hardware I'm an IBM fanboy09:24
kwwii;-)09:24
wgwI use IBM/Lenovo peripherals with all my hardware, even if its not IBM09:24
kwwiiactually I am thinking about getting an x-6009:24
wgwmy Mac uses a 17" ThinkVision monitor on a radial arm, for instance09:24
kwwiijust so that things simply work after installation09:24
wgwI use the X41T, its quite nice09:24
wgwI'm about to buy another ThinkPad laptop, and later in the year I'm hoping to add a ThinkCentre desktop and maybe an IBM Intellistation09:25
wgwdepending on how well my business does this year, I would love to drop $20k on a high end Intellistation for graphics work09:25
kwwiihehe, and I am giving out all my money on a new camera :p09:26
wgwmy plan regarding the GUI is to build up experience first doing smaller projects for distros etc, and in the process hopefully meet some developers who can code the thing when I'm ready to do it09:27
wgwinitially as a plug in for GNOME, since all the really hot distros seem to prefer it these days09:28
kwwiiwell, a few of the big ones do seem to love gnome09:28
=== manchicken [n=manchick@c-76-16-240-139.hsd1.il.comcast.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
kwwiialthough many more smaller distris use kde09:29
wgwI think they both suck, to be honest, but at least we have them09:29
kwwiilol09:29
kwwiirotfl09:29
kwwiias an artist it is hard to use only linux09:29
wgwI especially hate the way they render type09:29
kwwiibut if you are going to work on it, you have to use it too09:30
kwwiiyeah, that is one of my biggest complaints09:30
wgwI seriously prefer Windows with no anti-aliasing to Linux in terms of type display09:30
wgwI was able to get Sun Microsystems Solaris to display type correctly in its GNOME implementation, however09:30
wgwby turning hinting completely off09:30
wgwand in PC-BSD (which I'm running now) it occasionally works quite well, although at other times it will break completely and you'll get some really crappy effects09:31
kwwiiI guess that is due to the lack of a good font09:31
wgwno, I've installed "good fonts" and it still looks like garbage09:31
kwwiiand/or good hinting software09:31
wgwthe kerning pairs are wrong09:31
wgwand the letterforms are sort of distorted09:31
