[01:28] <boredandblogging> sorry if this has been reported but is option 2 supposed to display the 8.10 banner?
[08:10] <mib_h3ga83> hello.
[08:10] <mib_h3ga83> i would like to help.
[08:11] <mib_h3ga83> how can i help?
[08:14] <mib_h3ga83> i can help draw, and make banners and stuff like that. i designed the banner for this site: http://ubuntu.sg/node
[08:21] <mib_h3ga83> ?
[08:58] <rime> hmm, it seems that the carousels noscript-tag has a broken image link
[08:59] <rime> it looks really stupid when you don't have javascript on (it says "frame 6" and nothing else)
[12:35] <knome> newz2000, ^
[13:39] <newz2000> rime: thanks for pointing it out, I will fix it
[13:45] <thorwil> newz2000: hi! http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/countdown is very well done!
[13:45] <newz2000> thanks, glad you like it.
[13:45] <newz2000> 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] <thorwil> 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] <newz2000> :-) Yeah, call me paranoid...
[13:54] <newz2000> but that's just asking for something to go wrong
[13:55] <thorwil> newz2000: if i increae font-size on ubuntu.com, suddenly a white "the cloud" text appears overlaid on the slideshow
[13:56] <newz2000> thorwil: oh, thanks, I will fix that
[13:56] <thorwil> that piece of text is not selectable, but i doesn't come from my graphics
[13:56] <newz2000> header image replacement
[13:57] <newz2000> how big do you have to make your text to see it?
[13:57] <thorwil> 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] <newz2000> doh!
[13:57] <newz2000> doh!
[13:57] <newz2000> doh!
[13:57]  * newz2000 slaps his forehead
[13:57] <thorwil> heh
[13:57] <newz2000> I am such an amature
[14:03] <newz2000> ok, some problems fixed
[14:08]  * thorwil adds note to the wiki page that banners are online now
[14:09] <newz2000> thanks thorwil
[14:09] <newz2000> is it too early to tell if you're getting traffic from the links?
[14:09] <newz2000> (to your website)
[14:09] <thorwil> i'll check in a bit
[14:10] <thorwil> 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] <thorwil> 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] <newz2000> :-)
[14:14] <boredandblogging> newz2000: someone left a comment about the text not being big enough on the iframed version on my blog
[14:14] <boredandblogging> on the js iframed version the text-ident isn’t big enough and i get
[14:14] <boredandblogging> “er and in the cloud”
[14:15] <boredandblogging> over the animation,
[14:15] <boredandblogging> another couple of hundred px should fix it.
[14:15] <boredandblogging> no clue what it means :-)
[14:15] <newz2000> boredandblogging: thanks, good feedback
[14:16] <thorwil> newz2000: 20 views today, 13 yesterday. but that isn't a deviation from before. were it fluctuated 4 and about 15
[14:16] <newz2000> thorwil: I just fixed the indent, can you see if it's all better now?
[14:17] <thorwil> newz2000: what exactly would be better now?
[14:17] <newz2000> no white text when you increase the font-size
[14:17]  * newz2000 could not reproduce it
[14:17] <thorwil> newz2000: could be that i need a step more to make it happen now
[14:18] <thorwil> newz2000: does your browser scale the whole page with images? my firefox is instructed to leave images alone
[14:19] <newz2000> oh, mine scales the image too
[15:03] <thorwil> http://thorwil.wordpress.com/2009/03/27/ubuntu-904-countdown/
[15:08] <newz2000> Good work, I wish I had time to learn blender
[15:09] <thorwil> thanks. same here ;)
[15:12] <newz2000> thorwil: did I understand correctly that you can take stuff from inkscape and use it in blender?
[15:12] <thorwil> newz2000: you can import curves in blender, but that isn't what i did
[15:13]  * thorwil -> coffee
[16:17] <boredandblogging> newz2000: hey
[16:17] <newz2000> boredandblogging: what's up?
[16:18] <boredandblogging> newz2000: http://boredandblogging.com/2009/03/26/ubuntu-904-countdown-banner/#comment-2881
[16:18] <newz2000> not possible
[16:18] <newz2000> javascript would not cause any server usage at all
[16:19] <boredandblogging> fair enough
[16:43] <newz2000> ryanakca: hey, just got a report that kubuntu.org doesn't show up in opera. I can confirm this (using 9.27)
[20:50] <ryanakca> newz2000: bummer, saw your email, I'll take a prod at it... does it work if you disable JS?
[20:51] <newz2000> 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] <knome> newz2000, did you get the non-js version fixed?
[20:53] <newz2000> knome: the non-js version of the animated iframe banner?
[20:53] <knome> yeah.
[20:53] <newz2000> yes
[20:54] <knome> great :)
[21:23] <cropalato> nice work with the ubuntu countdown. I wold like to know if i can get the source to change for pt_BR.
[21:44] <newz2000> cropalato: which source did you have in mind?
[21:45] <newz2000> the ring stuff is posted on the wiki and in launchpad
[21:45] <newz2000> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/JauntyCountdownBanners#Thorwil%27s%20Ring
[21:45] <newz2000> some of the other designs have posted source, many have not
[21:55] <cropalato> newz2000, thanks
