[03:05] <SealV> tips on scaling down an icon?
[03:26] <_MMA_> SealV: Can you give more info?
[03:26] <_MMA_> What are you trying to do?
[03:27] <SealV> well I have an icon I have been working on at 512*512 in inkscape. I am having difficulty scaling this sucker down to say 22*22
[03:28] <_MMA_> SealV: You draw for the intended size.
[03:28] <SealV> so no shortcuts? I cant just scale down and simplify?
[03:29] <_MMA_> For Breathe, we're drawing @ 128px for scaliable. Using that for 48px but everything else is redrawn.
[03:29] <_MMA_> And sure, you can take the large size, scale down and remove/change details.
[03:30] <_MMA_> But simply using 512px and using it across the board is gonna result in blurry icons in smaller sizes.
[03:31] <SealV> especially with strokes. they look fugly.
[03:31] <SealV> oh and shadows
[04:06] <SealV> is it just me or is inkscape devel faster at rendering things?
[04:17] <_MMA_> SealV: On screen or to bitmap?
[04:17] <SealV> on screen to bitmap seems to be about the same
[04:19] <_MMA_> Things using blur have a lower on-screen quality level now. I generally don't link it because it's not representative of final output. But if you get it where you like it, then lower the on-screen setting I can see it being useful.
[04:20] <_MMA_> SealV: The folks in #inkscape are nice. Hang out in there. You'll learn new things for sure.

[09:32] <SiDi> _MMA_, are you around ?
[18:43] <SiDi> Hi
[18:43] <_MMA_> yo
[18:43] <SiDi> Hey _MMA_ you're around :)
[18:43] <SiDi> i'd something to ask you about this 405GB file you're downloading :P
[18:43]  * _MMA_ was sleeping when you came around before.
[18:43] <SiDi> well yeh i came pretty early ^^
[18:44] <_MMA_> Well that's the 3 torrents. I'm currently getting the 1st. 120GB.
[18:44] <SiDi> i'd like to know, do you have any idea who's hosting the tracker on which the torrent info is ?
[18:45] <_MMA_> Its a NIN tracker.
[18:45] <SiDi> I'm currently writing a (little) report on P2P protocols, esp. bittorrent, and i thought it'd be great to have stats of number of seeds on such a file
[18:46] <_MMA_> Tracker: http://tracker.nin.com 39 seeds 448 peers.
[18:46] <SiDi> Thanks
[18:46] <SiDi> i'mma make a script to check it for me then
[18:47] <SiDi> Do you mind pmming me the direct URL of the torrent info ?
[18:48] <_MMA_> It redirects as well. You can't view it from the web. http://forum.nin.com/bb/read.php?52,378166
[18:49] <SiDi> Hm i wonder if they keep torrent stats
