[01:59] <_MMA_> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Hardy/Alternate/UbuntuExplosion [02:04] i like it... if it was developed any further tho it might look a little like the new mac background [02:06] <_MMA_> Thats _really_ slick. 1st "+1" email I ever sent. (usually those are just noise) [02:06] kind of wild, but nicely executed [02:07] it could be higher res [02:08] <_MMA_> 2560x1600!? [02:08] <_MMA_> :) [02:08] <_MMA_> Pretty big if you ask me. [02:09] well, yeah, saw that... but when zoomed in it's just not smooth. even on 1280x1024 there's blurry stuff. [02:09] (in places where it shouldn't be) [02:09] yeh the "Take it or leave it" thing doesnt sound too fun [02:10] <_MMA_> FrankQ_: Blur could be on purpose. Dont know. Artifacting is what I would worry about. [02:10] I'm not good at distuinguishing both ;-) [02:10] Distinguishing* [02:11] I can only say that my first reaction isn't "woaaah this is smoooth" [02:11] <_MMA_> Kinda a "grainy" look. Though that might be of no help either. [02:11] <_MMA_> Toma-: "Take it or leave it" is how you get when people endlessly comment but actually "do" nothing. [02:12] I thought it was an implication of the license [02:13] <_MMA_> "I" is the operative word. :) Most nitpick regardless. [02:13] i already said I like it. [02:13] * _MMA_ is also just tired a being so cautious of "feelings". [02:14] <_MMA_> Sure, but you said ""Take it or leave it" thing doesnt sound too fun" [02:14] yeh [02:14] <_MMA_> Like that was offputting to you. [02:14] I didn't mean to be very nitpicky. [02:14] it sounds like the author wont encourage any development [02:14] I do like the idea and the look. [02:15] <_MMA_> FrankQ_: Im just talking generally. [02:15] <_MMA_> Toma-: There's an accompanying email that is looking for input. [02:15] Ahh ok then. [02:16] <_MMA_> But knowing the author it not gonna be up for wild changes. [02:17] <_MMA_> A bazillion posts saying do this or that. If it fits in with where Hardy or +1 will go, he'll be down for changes. Otherwise, it is what it is. [02:17] <_MMA_> Thats how I take it. [02:17] <_MMA_> Like I said in my email reply, It looks awesome on my 24" LCD. [02:18] I didnt know there was so much meaning behind 'Take it or leave it'... [02:18] <_MMA_> Well I had the email as well. ;) [02:19] <_MMA_> As is, I suspect most will take some offense from it. Oh well. :P [02:20] Not offended :) Just causes one of my eyebrows to raise unexpectedly [02:21] <_MMA_> Sure. I believe Who also did Xubuntu art work. [02:21] oh cool [02:21] is it an issue that the resolution appears to be widescreen? [02:22] <_MMA_> No. Its 16:10. [02:22] <_MMA_> not 4:3 [02:23] huh, that's odd. [02:23] <_MMA_> No. pretty common now. Set you "Style" to "Zoom". [02:23] <_MMA_> Will crop the sides. [02:23] <_MMA_> But retain the aspect. [02:24] and uncenter the center ^_^ [02:24] but ok, then it's not unovercomable [02:25] <_MMA_> Its an abstract anyway. Not like there's a logo or something there. ;) [02:27] My n00bscore just got raised by one. [02:28] <_MMA_> Nobody's keeping score. :P [02:28] i'm glad. sometimes. [02:30] <_MMA_> Wallpaper sites where 16:10 is common: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/index.php?sort=date http://www.mandolux.com [02:31] <_MMA_> There's more but its a LONG list. [02:31] * _MMA_ heads off to bed.

[20:51] wouldn't it be awesome to have a fela kuti saxo sample as the login sound? [20:51] with some of his afrobeat in the background [20:51] to keep the african theme [23:05] <_MMA_> hahahahaha http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/6892/screenshotig3.png :P [23:27] why can something so ugly look good? === Skiessl is now known as Skiessi
