[17:12] <SealV> background gradient testing: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/sealx/miffantestwall343.jpg
[17:12] <SealV> critiques?
[17:53] <thorwil> SealV: i'd reduce the contrast between rabbit and background
[17:54] <thorwil> SealV: what aspect ratio is that?
[17:58]  * thorwil -> dinner
[18:02] <SealV> 4:3
[18:02] <SealV> damn I missed him
[18:09] <MadsRH> Has anyone submitted a Alpha wallpaper as Kenneth requested on the mailinglist? Just courius :-)
[18:11] <MadsRH> Would be great for alpha and beat testers
[18:33] <thorwil> back
[18:42]  * thorwil pokes kwwii 
[19:26] <thorwil> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/AlphaBackgrounds
[19:27] <thorwil> SealV: consider adding your rabbit ^
[20:21] <SealV> wiki editing is weird
[20:22] <thorwil> one gets used to it :)
[20:23] <kwwii> hey guys
[20:23] <SealV> hey
[20:23] <thorwil> hi ken
[20:23] <kwwii> SealV: awesome design you posted a while ago
[20:23] <kwwii> really nifty
[20:24] <kwwii> s/design/sketch
[20:24] <SealV> thanks :3
[20:24] <kwwii> put that on a background and I would put it in jaunty asap
[20:25] <kwwii> we can put something in right away to make it visually different up until later in the cycle
[20:25] <SealV> did you see this yet? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/sealx/miffantestwall343.jpg
[20:27] <SealV> the gradient can be changed.
[20:31] <kwwii> nope, hadn't seen that yet
[20:32] <kwwii> mind if I pass that around for consideration?
[20:32] <SealV> no prob
[20:38] <thorwil> the rabbit should sit a little higher to be save from cropping on widescreen
[20:40] <_MMA_> thorwil: More toward the center as settings things to "Zoom" only crops the sides.
[20:41] <thorwil> _MMA_: explain how you get to 16:9 from a 4:3 image by cropping the sides
[20:41] <SealV> I am actually prepping the xcf file so y'all can play around with it you like. what a good place to up an xcf file?
[20:42] <thorwil> the wiki?
[20:42] <_MMA_> thorwil: Well actually, yeah. This image should be made widescreen. The the "Zoom" thing works.
[20:42] <_MMA_> *Then
[20:44] <SealV> k, uploading to wiki.
[20:47] <kwwii> hey _MMA_
[20:51]  * _MMA_ waves.
[20:52] <SealV> its uploaded,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Jaunty/AlphaBackgrounds
[20:53] <thorwil> _MMA_: actually zoom crops top and bottom, if needed. it simply scales the image until both height and width of the screen are filled
[20:54] <_MMA_> thorwil: It depends on the aspect of the image. widescreen crops the sides on a 4:3 screen and 4:3 crops top/bottom to get widescreen.
[20:55] <_MMA_> Creating in widescreen keeps the resolution higher though. That's why I suggested that this go wide now.
[20:55] <thorwil> anyway, best control of layout in cases like this can be had by using a widescreen format
[20:55] <thorwil> heh, right
[20:55] <_MMA_> :P
[20:55] <SealV> lol
[20:56] <thorwil> SealV: cool. but attachments have to be lined from the wiki page, as hardly anyway looks at the list of attachments
[20:56] <SealV> editing right as we speak
[20:56] <thorwil> ah, ok
[20:57] <thorwil> _MMA_: i see your :p didn't suffer from the holidays ;p
[20:57] <_MMA_> nope
[21:00] <thorwil> now if only SealV would have had that rabbit a bit earlier, my crayon would have remained in the drawer
[21:00]  * thorwil hopes he didn't slaughter his tenses too much
[21:01] <SealV> not a good place for a crayon. they yearn to spill their lives on paper
[21:03] <SealV> done editing
[21:05] <thorwil> excellent
[21:06] <thorwil> SealV: btw, do you have something like an online portfolio?
[21:06] <SealV> I have a deviantart account that I never use. I suppose my email wont work will it?
[21:07] <thorwil> portfolio via email? rather not :)
[21:08] <thorwil> gotta go, good night! :)
[21:08]  * _MMA_ has started to put stuff on his DA account for just this reason. I gotta add alot more.
[21:08] <_MMA_> Night.
[21:08] <SealV> night

[21:10] <SealV> whats ironic is that I stopped posting to DA almost a month after getting a tablet
[21:32] <BHSPitLappy> I bought a tablet and ubuntu won't recognize it.
[21:32] <kwwii> BHSPitLappy: there will be a good deal of work on this for jaunty
[21:33] <BHSPitLappy> hopefully.
[21:33] <kwwii> what kind do you have?
[21:33] <BHSPitLappy> Is there some kind of call for info on this?  Device ID's and stuff?
[21:33] <BHSPitLappy> kwwii, it's a DigiPro
[21:33] <kwwii> BHSPitLappy: the wacoms work really well
[21:33] <BHSPitLappy> well duh
[21:34] <kwwii> yes, every hardware device has a unique device id
[21:34] <BHSPitLappy> I know, I mean is there a call for information and testing on this topic, since you say there's work being done
[21:35] <BHSPitLappy> I know they were asking for details on peoples' 3G cards before Intrepid
[21:35] <kwwii> there will be more information and calls for testing a little later in the cycle
[21:35] <kwwii> right now we are just starting work
[21:35] <kwwii> collecting how things work already, automating it, etc
[21:36] <kwwii> this work is only to simplify/automate the configuration process, not to write drivers for tablets which currently don't work
[21:39] <SealV> thats awesome, mind you my wacom has been recognized since 6.10
[21:42] <_MMA_> IMO it's really the only brand to buy. They have a range of products to fit most budgets.
[21:46] <BHSPitLappy> well I make less than $9/hr, so meh
[21:46] <BHSPitLappy> I bought the $35 one from Woot
