| Rinchen | Little update for your channel peeps.... | 01:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Rinchen | from our web guru " I've made excellent progress and have the hardest part (the graphics) done. It looks sharp. Unfortunately, I don't have it pieced all together to send a screenshot, but it matches the rest of the ubuntu site, but without the thing on the right (the ad) and it has a little more vectorish/modernish look to it. The fridge is in there too." | 01:02 |
| Rinchen | So, looks like it'll be tomorrow before the graphics items are worked out and installed | 01:02 |

| newz2000 | Hey all, working on the fridge layout/theme and am thinking about two col vs three col layouts | 05:36 |
| Rinchen | interesting | 05:36 |
| Rinchen | it would make it easier to read | 05:36 |
| newz2000 | The benefit of 3 col is you get to see more info above the fold, but the prob is that on long pages you get a lot of wasted space because the columns are empty | 05:37 |
| Rinchen | like today | 05:37 |
| Rinchen | plus the columns aren't wide enough to easily read that material unless you shrink the text down | 05:37 |
| newz2000 | right | 05:37 |
| newz2000 | There is an option, and that is to float the right column inside the content area so that when that column ends the content fills in the space below it | 05:38 |
| newz2000 | So three options really... two col (www.ubuntu.com), three col (www.canonical.com) and three col but third col floated inside (like a magazine article) | 05:39 |
| Rinchen | If you think that 2 is going to improve readability and asthetics, I say do it. If it doesn't work we can always change it | 05:39 |
| newz2000 | planning ahead for the right layout makes life much easier. ;-) | 05:39 |
| newz2000 | I think I'm going to go for two and we can easily make that right col float inside if needed. Just curious if anyone had a strong opinion on the matter | 05:40 |
| === beuno prefers 2 columns :D | ||
| newz2000 | ugh, I've gotta reboot. Compiz is doing something crazy... brb | 05:42 |

| Rinchen | newz2000, you can issue gtk-window-manager -- replace & and it usually fixes that stuff | 05:55 |
| newz2000 | I'll save that command... but I needed to reboot anyway because of a pam update. | 05:56 |
| === Rinchen has the same issues in gutsy | ||
| newz2000 | I'm in gutsy too | 05:56 |
| newz2000 | Hmm... without an advertisement on the right side of the site, the page looks very empty over there. Can anyone suggest a fitting advertisement to show on the top right? | 06:05 |
| Rinchen | I'd prefer no advertisements :-) | 06:05 |
| Rinchen | can we shrink that header so it's not a big waste of page space? | 06:06 |
| newz2000 | yes, its smaller now | 06:07 |
| Rinchen | newz2000, fyi.. http://www.ubuntu.com/community has a "broken" link. The link is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam but should be https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork | 06:10 |

| newz2000 | wow, the database backup of the fridge is 365M uncompressed | 10:16 |
| Rinchen | lots good news eh newz? | 10:33 |
| Rinchen | newz2000, can you check to see if there is a cron nightly that backs it up? | 10:34 |
| Rinchen | I fear the worst | 10:34 |
| newz2000 | looking... | 10:35 |
| newz2000 | Rinchen: you'll have to ask the sysadmins how its backed up, I don't see anything | 10:36 |
| Rinchen | I was expecting that...okey dokey | 10:37 |
| === nixternal [n=nixterna@ubuntu/member/pdpc.active.nixternal] has joined #ubuntu-fridge | ||
| Rinchen | newz2000, #is | 10:39 |
| newz2000 | ugh, most of that sql is sessions. Without that table in there, the db sizes drops to 8.7M | 11:15 |
| Rinchen | hmm | 11:17 |
| Rinchen | that's interesting | 11:17 |
| newz2000 | Rinchen: how perfect do you want it to be? | 11:17 |
| Rinchen | hehe | 11:17 |
| Rinchen | well, we're already at warsaw's 3rd law | 11:17 |
| newz2000 | Not familiar with that one | 11:18 |
| Rinchen | http://barry.warsaw.us/software/laws.html Law #2 | 11:18 |
| newz2000 | whoa, law #1 is absolutely true, I've discovered that one on my own | 11:18 |
| newz2000 | ah, yes, firm believer in #2 too | 11:19 |
| Rinchen | credit of course goes to barry on #launchpad-code | 11:19 |
| newz2000 | So I will continue fiddling... I've got the theme pretty much done, but need real data to tweak it | 11:20 |
| Rinchen | as for perfect. Folks will notice and complain if there are issues :-) Just like with canonical.com and ubuntu.com | 11:20 |
| newz2000 | Well, let me define perfect: theme + any new fuctionality going live together | 11:20 |
| newz2000 | theme is 90% done, I haven't started on the new functionality yet | 11:21 |
| newz2000 | And I'm just about to test the upgrade from 4.7 to 5.2 | 11:21 |
| Rinchen | for today's update I was after the theme and bug reports :-) | 11:21 |
| Rinchen | so, why not concentrate on theme-only | 11:21 |
| Rinchen | and do the rest next week | 11:21 |
| Rinchen | less to worry about then | 11:21 |
| newz2000 | ok. Lets see how it looks with real data. Testing momentarily. | 11:21 |
| Rinchen | my opinion for sequencing is: theme - upgrade - remainder of the bugs - any new functionality | 11:23 |
| newz2000 | theme + upgrade are co-dependent. | 11:23 |
| newz2000 | is "glossary" used on the fridge? | 11:33 |
| newz2000 | Its installed | 11:33 |
| Rinchen | it's not be used to my knowledge | 11:43 |
| === Rinchen is looking more closely | ||
| === Rinchen laughs | ||
| Rinchen | No, it's not being used: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/glossary | 11:44 |
| newz2000 | :-D | 11:44 |
| Rinchen | turn it off if we don't need it | 11:44 |
| Rinchen | one less thing to worry about | 11:45 |
| newz2000 | what about sitemenu and customerror? | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | yes to sitemenu | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | I think so on error, checking | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | sitemenu sucks though | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | nobody really uses it | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | that I'm aware of | 11:45 |
| Rinchen | http://fridge.ubuntu.com/sitemenu | 11:46 |
| newz2000 | oh, that's what it does | 11:46 |
| Rinchen | customerror is not in use | 11:46 |
| Rinchen | we can delete it | 11:46 |
| Rinchen | delete/disbale | 11:46 |
| newz2000 | well, there is a much newer version of sitemenu, maybe the new one is better | 11:46 |
| Rinchen | I'm game. we can always disable it | 11:46 |
| newz2000 | maybe not *much* newer, but there is a newer one | 11:46 |
| newz2000 | ok, time for soccer practice | 12:10 |
