[19:53] <andreasn> thorwil: I really like that idea
[19:54] <rsc_> wasn't really sure of that myself. when I first saw it, I thought "what were those dots for?" I thought it was clever when I figured it out, though.
[19:55] <pwnguin> reminds me of some of the proposed boot loader stuff
[19:55] <rsc_> the usplash where the ubuntu logo gets revealed in segments?
[19:55] <pwnguin> i can't recall. maybe i'm thinking fedora
[19:56] <rsc_> (on the note of the countdown banner, I like the hand idea more.)
[20:21] <thorwil> thanks, andreasn, rsc_
[20:21] <thorwil> rsc_: i've been told that inside canonical, there is a preference for the dots
[20:22] <pwnguin> i imagine there's some cultural things with counting on hands
[20:22] <thorwil> i might be too much work to finish both, so i'd rather keep the hands for next time ;)

[20:29] <thorwil> i know that there a varying techniques around the world. more interesting would be to know whether the western style i'm used to includes what would be offensive gestures somewhere
