[12:18] <mdke> newz2000: not that I'm a conosewer of js, but I just like the thing
[12:19] <newz2000> it was originally in flash and some people had a fit... the excuse was that we're starting to ship gnash, but then we realized the flash didn't work in gnash
[12:19] <newz2000> so the agency exported it to png
[12:19] <popey> heh
[12:19] <popey> you had the whole "flash is evil" brigade eh?
=== popey is a fully paid up member
[12:19] <popey> :)
[12:20] <popey> newz2000: found someone with a mac
[12:20] <newz2000> well, I see the web stats, and 98+% of the people who come to the ubuntu websites have an up-to-date flash player. But I'm a pragmatist to.
=== newz2000 crosses fingers and hopes it works
[12:21] <popey> 23:20:32 <+tom> fine
[12:21] <popey> sorry, that's as much detail as I got :S
[12:21] <newz2000> that's enough for me. :-)
[12:22] <mdke> the story is live
[12:22] <newz2000> if it was broke, we'd have gotten more detail I suspect
[12:22] <popey> 23:22:02 <+tom> popey: looks absolutely fine, Safari 99% of the time renders like Gecko anyway :)
[12:22] <mdke> or "frudge"
[12:22] <popey> ooo.. stunning detail
[12:22] <popey> thanks mdke
[12:22] <mdke> I think we should use the word frudge as the past tense for the verb to fridge
[12:22] <newz2000> gracias matt!
[12:22] <newz2000> it was frudged!
[12:23] <newz2000> we could have some buttons people could put on their website... frudge it!
=== mdke frudged it
[12:23] <popey> you've been drinking haven't you mdke ?
[12:23] <mdke> maybe
[12:23] <newz2000> :-D
[12:25] <mdke> damn, that frudge thing was the result of several weeks thinking, now I have to pass it off as drunken inspiration
=== mdke frudges off to bed
[12:26] <newz2000> g'night
[12:33] <newz2000> ok, well, tomorrow its my goal to fix IE and to add the new fridge features, but for now I'm calling it a day
[12:34] <newz2000> er, no way on earth I can fix IE, I mean make the site look right in IE
[12:38] <popey> hmm
[12:38] <popey> there is something screwy with the code
[12:38] <popey> I have copy/pasted it but the text underneath doesn't link correctly
[12:39] <popey> newz2000: check fridge.ubuntu.com and hover over the add link
[12:39] <newz2000> oops
[12:39] <popey> i can fudge it
[12:39] <newz2000> no, I need to fix it elsewhere
[12:39] <popey> with an <a href=http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown around the whole thing?
[12:39] <newz2000> that's a biggy
[12:40] <newz2000> good catch, and worth delaying supper.
[12:40] <popey> heh
[12:42] <newz2000> fixed, but will take 30m to clear the cache unfortunately. :-(
[12:42] <popey> erk
[12:43] <popey> <a href="" style= hehehehe
=== popey waits for 30 mins
[01:08] <popey> looks fixed, thanks newz2000
[01:25] <Rinchen> thanks newz2000 for working on the fridge. been absolutely buried these last few days
[01:42] <popey> newz2000: an ubuntu-uk person made an improvement to the code...
[01:42] <popey> http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/465
[01:43] <popey> so that in the event that js isn't available (for example when syndicated on planet ubuntu) rather than getting a static image you get the same image the js people get
[01:43] <popey> should work in news feed readers too
[01:44] <popey> and so to bed
[01:44] <popey> nn

[12:12] <bluekuja> heya all
[12:12] <bluekuja> hi nixternal :)
[12:12] <bluekuja> newz2000: countdown looks pretty nice
=== Rinchen [n=joey@canonical/launchpad/pdpc.supporter.professional.rinchen]  has joined #ubuntu-fridge
[08:15] <newz2000> So the fridge looks good in all our supported browsers except IE6, where the page is just plain blank below the picture of the fridge. :-(
[08:17] <newz2000> "a little broken" is ok, but blank isn't.
=== beuno curses ie
[08:43] <Rinchen> newz2000, funny
[08:43] <Rinchen> newz2000, we just fixed the same issue on LP
[08:43] <newz2000> oh, how? Tell me please
[08:43] <Rinchen> newz2000, it was a css margin content statement that was busted on ie7
[08:44] <newz2000> Hm. Fridge works in IE7, not ie6. And I think I still validated, but will confirm.
[08:45] <bluekuja> newz2000: what do you think about http://www.ubuntu-it.org/
[08:45] <bluekuja> newz2000: we made a really nice countdown there
[08:45] <bluekuja> hi Rinchen :)
[08:46] <Rinchen> newz2000, does it look like the screenshot in this bug?  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/141614
[08:46] <newz2000> bluekuja: slick!
[08:46] <bluekuja> newz2000: :)
[08:46] <newz2000> Rinchen: yes, pretty much
[08:47] <newz2000> bluekuja: the original concept the artists proposed for the countdown was in Flash and each small circle of the logo was a timer counting down. It was catchy, but if you looked at it at the wrong time of day the circles were just tiny slivers.
[08:48] <Rinchen> k, I can't find the fix...let me check my logs
[08:48] <bluekuja> newz2000: oh :D
[08:48] <newz2000> my Win2k vm decided it *needed* to do a windows update, so my computer is crawling at the moment
[08:48] <bluekuja> newz2000: do you have any screenshoot of it?
[08:49] <newz2000> sorry, I don't
[08:49] <bluekuja> ok then
[08:50] <bluekuja> newz2000: anyway Ubuntu's homepage one is cool too, it's simple and looks pretty nice
[08:50] <newz2000> yeah, internally we were very divided about using Flash and there were some strong emotions. If it had worked with the Gnash plugin, we'd probably have used it.
[08:51] <Rinchen> newz2000:
[08:51] <Rinchen> > The fix is in main-template.pt, changing "#container {margin-top:
[08:51] <Rinchen> > 48px;}" to "#container {margin-top: 30px; position: static;}".
[08:52] <Rinchen> that's what we applied
[08:52] <bluekuja> going for a shower
[08:52] <bluekuja> bbl
[08:52] <newz2000> position: static? I'll have to investigate
[08:52] <newz2000> I've never used it before
[08:52] <newz2000> thanks for the tip, that would rock if this fixed it
=== popey tests fridge under ie6
[09:00] <popey> up, lots of blank :S
[09:01] <popey> yeah, looks good in ie7
[09:02] <newz2000> popey: how do you test with both?
[09:18] <popey> i have two vms
[09:19] <popey> if you need any help/assistance with it, just shout
[09:19] <popey> (I cant code but I can test)
[09:20] <newz2000> :-) I've got two vms too. I wish there was a way to get two IE's working in the same one
[09:21] <newz2000> and for some reason, IE6 in wine doesn't seem to render exactly the same as IE6 in windows
[09:28] <bluekuja> Rinchen: any news regarding Support/Products/Community broken links?
[09:30] <Rinchen> um, not sure I knew that it was broken.  newz2000 ^^
[09:30] <newz2000> what's this?
[09:30] <bluekuja> check every link on the top
[09:30] <bluekuja> like http://fridge.ubuntu.com/support
[09:31] <bluekuja> and so on
[09:31] <newz2000> ugh, good catch
[09:33] <Rinchen> newz2000, come to think of it, you might want to check the fridge bug list.  That might be on there. They are all assigned to you anyway :-)
[09:34] <bluekuja> :D
[09:34] <newz2000> will do
