Zirodaykwwii: you awake?11:28
kwwiiZiroday: yeah, and my internet connection just starting working again11:29
Zirodaykwwii: wonderful11:30
Zirodaykwwii: I emailed you about the deviantart thing11:30
kwwiiZiroday: I just responded11:30
Zirodaythought it would be easier to talk on irc11:30
kwwiisure11:30
kwwiimy guess is that he could not find anyone in deviantArt who was interested in taking up the project11:30
Zirodayhmm alright, I will email them now and see what they say11:31
Zirodaybut if not can't we do this project seperate from them11:31
Zirodaylike the errr11:31
ZirodayUbuntu Free Culture Showcase11:31
Zirodayis being done?11:31
kwwiimy guess is that without the artists on their side it will make it really hard to have a contest11:32
Zirodayalright, but I am sure if we stick it on digg etc then some of them would still make some stuff, if not from deviantart from other places11:32
Zirodayas there was a really big response on the brainstorm idea etc11:33
kwwiithe only important part to remember is that canonical is not promising anyone anything11:33
Zirodaykwwii: definitly11:33
kwwiithat would need to be made clear at the very beginning (very loudly)11:33
Zirodaygot it11:33
kwwiipeople seem to like to mistake things like that11:33
Zirodayyeah I know :)11:34
Zirodaywell anyway I will get hold of the deviantart people and see what the story is with them11:34
Zirodayand if not we will see how we can progress from there?11:34
kwwiisounds good to me11:36
Zirodaykwwii: great, talk to you soon11:36
Zirodayand have an awesome day :)11:36

=== conn_ is now known as psyke83^
psyke83^I got disconnected, gotta wait for my alternate personality to feck off :P15:42
kwwiihehe15:43
kwwiimy internet connection went down last night after a major server broke down15:44
kwwiiI was offline until this afternoon15:44
psyke83^I see... I think in my case the problem is on my end, not the ISP's... I noticed that Intrepid's 2.6.27-1-generic kernel is terrible for multitasking/interactivity. While I'm building something, my system slows to a crawl15:45

_MMA_"wow" can mean so many things. :)18:49
_MMA_Current shots of Studio GDM and wallpaper concepts: http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/studio_gdm_hex_concept.png http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/studio_wall_hex_concept.png http://mma.users.ubuntustudio.org/studio_wall_hex_concept_alt.png I'm leaning toward the unbranded "alt" wallpaper for final.18:49
thorwilit's quite a jump from the gdm to the wallpapers18:58
_MMA_How so?18:58
_MMA_Same motif. Just light/dark bg.18:59
thorwilgdm looks so bright and happy, where the honey-comb background looks technical and rather cold18:59
thorwilgdm makes me think of kylie minogue videos19:00
_MMA_thorwil: I see that. I see it another way also.19:00
_MMA_It's meant to have a funky feel.19:00
_MMA_A little fun. And contrast is intentional.19:00
thorwilthe contrast bites. both between gdm and wallpapers and in the wallpapers themselves. ok if you want that19:03
_MMA_:P19:03
thorwil_MMA_: line width for the small coloured honey-combs _appears_ to be thicker. maybe you can counteract by actually making it thinner than elsewhere?19:05
_MMA_On a smaller pic like that, I think that effect is more prominent. They are all set to 5px. And since Im OCD I can't change it. They all gotta match. :P19:07
_MMA_thorwil: And just a note, the gradient on the background is set in Nautilus. A user can change to to whatever.19:10
DanaGPerspective on the hex thingy is odd on the text.21:14
