[01:28] sorry if this has been reported but is option 2 supposed to display the 8.10 banner? [08:10] hello. [08:10] i would like to help. [08:11] how can i help? [08:14] i can help draw, and make banners and stuff like that. i designed the banner for this site: http://ubuntu.sg/node [08:21] ? [08:58] hmm, it seems that the carousels noscript-tag has a broken image link [08:59] it looks really stupid when you don't have javascript on (it says "frame 6" and nothing else) [12:35] newz2000, ^ [13:39] rime: thanks for pointing it out, I will fix it [13:45] newz2000: hi! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown is very well done! [13:45] thanks, glad you like it. [13:45] I 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 something [13:47] well, 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 time [13:54] :-) Yeah, call me paranoid... [13:54] but that's just asking for something to go wrong [13:55] newz2000: if i increae font-size on ubuntu.com, suddenly a white "the cloud" text appears overlaid on the slideshow [13:56] thorwil: oh, thanks, I will fix that [13:56] that piece of text is not selectable, but i doesn't come from my graphics [13:56] header image replacement [13:57] how big do you have to make your text to see it? [13:57] newz2000: and if i click on the slideshow, the image that appears has cut-off text: "We would like you in testing and ... [13:57] doh! [13:57] doh! [13:57] doh! [13:57] * newz2000 slaps his forehead [13:57] heh [13:57] I am such an amature [14:03] ok, some problems fixed [14:08] * thorwil adds note to the wiki page that banners are online now [14:09] thanks thorwil [14:09] is it too early to tell if you're getting traffic from the links? [14:09] (to your website) [14:09] i'll check in a bit [14:10] i'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 wiki [14:11] but 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 way [14:13] :-) [14:14] newz2000: someone left a comment about the text not being big enough on the iframed version on my blog [14:14] on the js iframed version the text-ident isn’t big enough and i get [14:14] “er and in the cloud” [14:15] over the animation, [14:15] another couple of hundred px should fix it. [14:15] no clue what it means :-) [14:15] boredandblogging: thanks, good feedback [14:16] newz2000: 20 views today, 13 yesterday. but that isn't a deviation from before. were it fluctuated 4 and about 15 [14:16] thorwil: I just fixed the indent, can you see if it's all better now? [14:17] newz2000: what exactly would be better now? [14:17] no white text when you increase the font-size [14:17] * newz2000 could not reproduce it [14:17] newz2000: could be that i need a step more to make it happen now [14:18] newz2000: does your browser scale the whole page with images? my firefox is instructed to leave images alone [14:19] oh, mine scales the image too [15:03] http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/ubuntu-904-countdown/ [15:08] Good work, I wish I had time to learn blender [15:09] thanks. same here ;) [15:12] thorwil: did I understand correctly that you can take stuff from inkscape and use it in blender? [15:12] newz2000: you can import curves in blender, but that isn't what i did [15:13] * thorwil -> coffee [16:17] newz2000: hey [16:17] boredandblogging: what's up? [16:18] newz2000: http://boredandblogging.com/2009/03/26/ubuntu-904-countdown-banner/#comment-2881 [16:18] not possible [16:18] javascript would not cause any server usage at all [16:19] fair enough [16:43] ryanakca: hey, just got a report that kubuntu.org doesn't show up in opera. I can confirm this (using 9.27) [20:50] newz2000: bummer, saw your email, I'll take a prod at it... does it work if you disable JS? [20:51] I don't know, didn't try, but opera has a .deb file and is easy to install [20:52] * ryanakca nods, will do [20:53] newz2000, did you get the non-js version fixed? [20:53] knome: the non-js version of the animated iframe banner? [20:53] yeah. [20:53] yes [20:54] great :) [21:23] nice work with the ubuntu countdown. I wold like to know if i can get the source to change for pt_BR. [21:44] cropalato: which source did you have in mind? [21:45] the ring stuff is posted on the wiki and in launchpad [21:45] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/JauntyCountdownBanners#Thorwil%27s%20Ring [21:45] some of the other designs have posted source, many have not [21:55] newz2000, thanks
