| troy_s | DID I JUST READ THAT EMAIL ON THE LIST? | 05:35 |
|---|---|---|
| troy_s | grr. | 05:35 |
| melaren | If you send a message to ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com without signing up does it still send to the list? | 06:38 |
| troy_s | melaren: It sits in a slush until an admin visually filters it iirc. | 07:15 |
| troy_s | melaren: If you want to be certain the list gets the message, the only way that I know of is to sign up for the list. | 07:15 |
| troy_s | melaren: That help? | 07:24 |
| melaren | troy_s, Sure does, thanks! | 07:59 |
| yoshiznit124 | has anyone considered incorporating the release's animal (like a heron) into the default wallpaper? | 09:12 |
| BHSPitLappy | I CANNOT BELIEVE WE FORGOT TO CONSIDER THAT | 09:37 |
| BHSPitLappy | troy_s, what post enraged you so? | 10:08 |
| troy_s | BHSPitLappy: just the same old rubbish. | 10:09 |
| troy_s | BHSPitLappy: and lol to your last comment. | 10:09 |
| troy_s | BHSPitLappy: I was rather disappointed for having wasted Justin's time with the list. | 10:09 |
| BHSPitLappy | this Gelatin business doesn't do anything for me | 10:10 |
| BHSPitLappy | it's very well-polished-looking though | 10:10 |
| BHSPitLappy | never mind, mockups can't be polished | 10:11 |
| troy_s | BHSPitLappy: What gelatin link? | 10:35 |
| BHSPitLappy | troy_s, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/gelatin | 10:36 |
| BHSPitLappy | it's on the top of the linux section of digg | 10:36 |
| troy_s | BHSPitCSP: I thought the choice of wallpapers has been getting closer to Ubuntu however -- the grain from Ken's effort. Laren's submission is marred by the fact that the tonal range is balanced out with the natural greens in the snapshots -- a bit of a cheat. The wall alone (with theme details) is back into the monotone mode slightly (not _quite_ as bad as Ubuntu default) | 10:37 |
| troy_s | BHSPitLappy: It is probably the best wallpaper choice thematically. That said, everything is very 'bloaty' fat. | 10:37 |
| troy_s | Not quite pulling along the 'elegant' line from my guesswork. | 10:38 |
| troy_s | and of course i find the tango bits naff as hell. | 10:38 |
| troy_s | but with kwwii's monochromatics and a few twiddles, that would be about 1000000 times better than where ubuntu currently is at. | 10:39 |
| lapo | hi | 10:39 |
| troy_s | lapo: Greetz lapo! | 10:44 |
| troy_s | wholly crap. | 10:48 |
| troy_s | darn... where is Toma. | 10:48 |
| troy_s | I laugh out loud when I look at that bug of his. | 10:48 |
| troy_s | Too bloody funny. | 10:48 |
| troy_s | It is like some pothead jailbird bug. | 10:48 |
| troy_s | Hilarious. | 10:48 |
| Xadacka | Hello World | 18:52 |
| Xadacka | Hey anyone here? | 18:59 |
| troy_s | Xadacka: possibly. | 19:13 |
| troy_s | Xadacka: What's up Xadacka | 19:13 |
| troy_s | ? | 19:13 |
| rainwalker | Just popping in to say that it IS possible to be modern WITHOUT using gloss: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/Union?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Union_v0-2.jpg | 19:47 |
| thorwil | wow. good thing he popped in!! | 20:15 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Phew. You missed another helpful guy earlier... I'll copy and paste to share the wisdom... | 20:52 |
| troy_s | <yoshiznit124> has anyone considered incorporating the release's animal (like a heron) into the default wallpaper? | 20:53 |
| troy_s | /join #jadedfeckerclub | 20:53 |
| thorwil | wow! | 20:53 |
| troy_s | thorwil: WOW | 20:53 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Let me look deeper into rainwalker's thinking... | 20:53 |
| thorwil | troy_s: wait, wait, we could combine that_ a non-glossy heron | 20:54 |
| troy_s | thorwil: GLOSS = MODERN | 20:54 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Which about tells you the validity of the statement to begin with. | 20:54 |
| Tm_T | troy_s: true | 20:54 |
| troy_s | thorwil: WOOO WHAT ABOUT A GLOSSY HERON! | 20:54 |
| thorwil | troy_s: no problem, i think we are in the post pots modern era | 20:54 |
| troy_s | modern! | 20:54 |
| troy_s | I unfortunately end up sounding like someone who believes that gloss is the sole root of Ubuntu's problem (which has been actually gone for a bit -- but seems to pop up in every tacky mock I see) | 20:55 |
| troy_s | Glossy is symptomatic. It still leaves us as we are now -- without style. | 20:55 |
| troy_s | (in addition to a few other intangibles such as context, audience, motif, thematic, etc.) | 20:55 |
| troy_s | Does anyone see an interesting 'style' developing out there in the wild? | 20:56 |
| troy_s | thorwil: LOL -- wtf is "PostPotsModern" LOL -- I love it. | 20:56 |
| thorwil | troy_s: the pots was meant to be a second post | 20:57 |
| troy_s | "We aren't po-mo, we are po-pot-mo." | 20:57 |
| troy_s | i know | 20:57 |
| troy_s | it looks better as pots! | 20:57 |
| thorwil | troy_s: well, post modernism needs closure, but what comes afterwards? | 20:57 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Modernism got closure. Post-Modernism. But a good question. I suppose we have been stuck in Post-Modernism-Oops-Britney-Spearsism for a while. | 20:58 |
| thorwil | oopism! | 20:58 |
| troy_s | thorwil: In our world, something like a neo-ren (done 19th late cen to early 20th) or neo-romaticism. | 20:59 |
| troy_s | probably most appropriate. | 20:59 |
| thorwil | how dare firefox freeze when i'm writing a post pots modern post! | 20:59 |
| troy_s | unfortunately we have not enough style or class to get anywhere close to that just yet. we need a bastion of style and class to have a bloody movement. we are a _wee_ tad off from that. | 21:00 |
| troy_s | lol | 21:00 |
| thorwil | troy_s: isn't neo-romaticism an aspect of post modernism? | 21:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Po-mo gets thrown around just about everywhere. | 21:00 |
| troy_s | thorwil: From the time I was in school, I can honestly say that it has gotten even cloudier than when it started. | 21:00 |
| thorwil | heh yeah, another term that is everyones bitch, if i may say :) | 21:01 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Probably apt. When I was studying, po-mo had elements of what is commonplace today -- the idea of the subject involvement / third wall removal and non-linear was rather hip (especially in novels) | 21:03 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Memento was sort of a 'mainstream' po-mo example, followed up by a far more adept 21Grams (although still rather bound up in narrative linearism). Of course anyone from Europe familiar with decent cinema could probably cite a few auteurs who were doing that sort of thing before those hit mainline. | 21:04 |
| thorwil | the way i got to know it was taking modern lines and adding stuff in eclectic ways | 21:04 |
| * thorwil goes on a 3rd try to post a picture | 21:06 | |
| thorwil | http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/ubuntu-brainstorm-5/ | 21:08 |
| thorwil | not too happy, but had to try it | 21:08 |
| troy_s | yeah i don't know if I could say that was po -mo... most of what i "know" as po-mo is somewhere between dadaist / surrealist meets "trendy". | 21:10 |
| troy_s | it is something like imagining a pop-culture sales brochure or building architecture warped out in some way that makes it almost unattractive to that very audience. | 21:11 |
| troy_s | i remember someone pointed me to a good gallery on po-mo stuffs... i wonder if i could find it. | 21:11 |
| thorwil | i'll be off in seconds | 21:12 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Ditto... | 21:12 |
| troy_s | this to me is rather po-mo | 21:13 |
| troy_s | http://www.whitelead.com/jrh/screenshots/cafeteria.JPG | 21:13 |
| thorwil | jepp, i can agree to that :) | 21:14 |
| troy_s | http://www.whitelead.com/jrh/screenshots/ | 21:14 |
| troy_s | he did a whole series... rather... good commentary. | 21:14 |
| thorwil | troy_s: i know a video in that style | 21:14 |
| thorwil | troy_s: gotta run, see you! | 21:14 |
| troy_s | thorwil: Ciao thorwil | 21:14 |
