[00:28]  * kwwii wanders off to bed
[02:05] <_MMA_> DanaG: Please fix your connection.
[02:06] <DanaG> My connection is fine....
[02:06] <DanaG> but my gnome-session.... is royally ****ed up.
[02:06] <_MMA_> Then disconnect so you don't flood the channel 'till it's fixed.
[02:07] <DanaG> Shall do.
[02:08] <DanaG> Oh, it finally finished loading... after sitting there for like 5 minutes.
[11:28] <Ziroday> kwwii: you awake?
[11:29] <kwwii> Ziroday: yeah, and my internet connection just starting working again
[11:30] <Ziroday> kwwii: wonderful
[11:30] <Ziroday> kwwii: I emailed you about the deviantart thing
[11:30] <kwwii> Ziroday: I just responded
[11:30] <Ziroday> thought it would be easier to talk on irc
[11:30] <kwwii> sure
[11:30] <kwwii> my guess is that he could not find anyone in deviantArt who was interested in taking up the project
[11:31] <Ziroday> hmm alright, I will email them now and see what they say
[11:31] <Ziroday> but if not can't we do this project seperate from them
[11:31] <Ziroday> like the errr
[11:31] <Ziroday> Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase
[11:31] <Ziroday> is being done?
[11:32] <kwwii> my guess is that without the artists on their side it will make it really hard to have a contest
[11:32] <Ziroday> alright, 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 places
[11:33] <Ziroday> as there was a really big response on the brainstorm idea etc
[11:33] <kwwii> the only important part to remember is that canonical is not promising anyone anything
[11:33] <Ziroday> kwwii: definitly
[11:33] <kwwii> that would need to be made clear at the very beginning (very loudly)
[11:33] <Ziroday> got it
[11:33] <kwwii> people seem to like to mistake things like that
[11:34] <Ziroday> yeah I know :)
[11:34] <Ziroday> well anyway I will get hold of the deviantart people and see what the story is with them
[11:34] <Ziroday> and if not we will see how we can progress from there?
[11:36] <kwwii> sounds good to me
[11:36] <Ziroday> kwwii: great, talk to you soon
[11:36] <Ziroday> and have an awesome day :)
[11:36] <kwwii> hehe, thanks! you too
[15:35] <psyke83> hey
[15:40] <kwwii> hi psyke83
[15:40] <kwwii> psyke83: the newest gtkrc'S will be going in tomorrow
[15:41] <conn_> cool
[15:42] <psyke83^> I got disconnected, gotta wait for my alternate personality to feck off :P
[15:43] <kwwii> hehe
[15:44] <kwwii> my internet connection went down last night after a major server broke down
[15:44] <kwwii> I was offline until this afternoon
[15:45] <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 crawl
[18:48] <thorwil> wow. http://www.fabianrodriguez.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/logot.png
[18:49] <_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.
[18:58] <thorwil> it's quite a jump from the gdm to the wallpapers
[18:58] <_MMA_> How so?
[18:59] <_MMA_> Same motif. Just light/dark bg.
[18:59] <thorwil> gdm looks so bright and happy, where the honey-comb background looks technical and rather cold
[19:00] <thorwil> gdm makes me think of kylie minogue videos
[19:00] <_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.
[19:03] <thorwil> the contrast bites. both between gdm and wallpapers and in the wallpapers themselves. ok if you want that
[19:03] <_MMA_> :P
[19:05] <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?
[19:07] <_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. :P
[19:10] <_MMA_> thorwil: And just a note, the gradient on the background is set in Nautilus. A user can change to to whatever.
[21:14] <DanaG> Perspective on the hex thingy is odd on the text.
[21:20] <DanaG> Odd: http://www.linuxmint-art.org/content/show.php/Circuit+Mint?content=81985
