rimehmm, it seems that the carousels noscript-tag has a broken image link08:58
rimeit looks really stupid when you don't have javascript on (it says "frame 6" and nothing else)08:59
knomenewz2000, ^12:35
newz2000rime: thanks for pointing it out, I will fix it13:39
thorwilnewz2000: hi! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown is very well done!13:45
newz2000thanks, glad you like it.13:45
newz2000I know the static image isn't quite what you were hoping for but I figure I'll switch the symlink on release day so that it's at least something13:45
thorwilwell, the last 2 images were meant to be a "surprise", but i know you wouldn't like one giving a date, like the option i offered last time13:47
newz2000:-) Yeah, call me paranoid...13:54
newz2000but that's just asking for something to go wrong13:54
thorwilnewz2000: if i increae font-size on ubuntu.com, suddenly a white "the cloud" text appears overlaid on the slideshow13:55
newz2000thorwil: oh, thanks, I will fix that13:56
thorwilthat piece of text is not selectable, but i doesn't come from my graphics13:56
newz2000header image replacement13:56
newz2000how big do you have to make your text to see it?13:57
thorwilnewz2000: and if i click on the slideshow, the image that appears has cut-off text: "We would like you in testing and ...13:57
newz2000doh!13:57
newz2000doh!13:57
newz2000doh!13:57
* newz2000 slaps his forehead13:57
thorwilheh13:57
newz2000I am such an amature13:57
newz2000ok, some problems fixed14:03
* thorwil adds note to the wiki page that banners are online now14:08
newz2000thanks thorwil14:09
newz2000is it too early to tell if you're getting traffic from the links?14:09
newz2000(to your website)14:09
thorwili'll check in a bit14:09
thorwili'll have to hand out a price for most-over-the-feedback-yet for "Not funny - this is perfect. "Wow" doesn't really even do it justice. The person that made this is either a genius or someone with a whole crap load of time for perfection. 'or both'" on said wiki14:10
thorwilbut the following "I like it. But can you put the mascots on top each day? Or replace day by mascots, day win show in mascots." is funny in a sad way14:11
newz2000:-)14:13
boredandbloggingnewz2000: someone left a comment about the text not being big enough on the iframed version on my blog14:14
boredandbloggingon the js iframed version the text-ident isn’t big enough and i get14:14
boredandblogging“er and in the cloud”14:14
boredandbloggingover the animation,14:15
boredandblogginganother couple of hundred px should fix it.14:15
boredandbloggingno clue what it means :-)14:15
newz2000boredandblogging: thanks, good feedback14:15
thorwilnewz2000: 20 views today, 13 yesterday. but that isn't a deviation from before. were it fluctuated 4 and about 1514:16
newz2000thorwil: I just fixed the indent, can you see if it's all better now?14:16
thorwilnewz2000: what exactly would be better now?14:17
newz2000no white text when you increase the font-size14:17
* newz2000 could not reproduce it14:17
thorwilnewz2000: could be that i need a step more to make it happen now14:17
thorwilnewz2000: does your browser scale the whole page with images? my firefox is instructed to leave images alone14:18
newz2000oh, mine scales the image too14:19
thorwilhttp://thorwil.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/ubuntu-904-countdown/15:03
newz2000Good work, I wish I had time to learn blender15:08
thorwilthanks. same here ;)15:09
newz2000thorwil: did I understand correctly that you can take stuff from inkscape and use it in blender?15:12
thorwilnewz2000: you can import curves in blender, but that isn't what i did15:12
* thorwil -> coffee15:13

boredandbloggingfair enough16:19
newz2000ryanakca: hey, just got a report that kubuntu.org doesn't show up in opera. I can confirm this (using 9.27)16:43
ryanakcanewz2000: bummer, saw your email, I'll take a prod at it... does it work if you disable JS?20:50
newz2000I don't know, didn't try, but opera has a .deb file and is easy to install20:51
* ryanakca nods, will do20:52
