[09:14] <SiDi> morning
[19:57] <thorwil> the gtk open file dialog is so awesome. completely stalls trying to create a preview for a complex SVG :(
[19:57]  * SiDi asks screenshots !
[19:59] <thorwil> SiDi, it's just the "glass" background from Incoming/Jaunty. now called "gloosh" :)
[20:00] <thorwil> how this bad joke of a broken file dialog can stay in place so long is beyond me
[20:01] <SiDi> here svg's seem to render well
[20:01] <SiDi> the few ones i got under hand are far from complex though
[20:04] <thorwil> SiDi, you can get it from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~t-w-/ubuntu-artwork/thorwils_backgrounds/annotate/head%3A/glass/glass.svg
[20:04] <thorwil> and have fun, for example by opening it with firefox
[20:04]  * SiDi goes download the file :)
[20:04] <thorwil> why the checkered-elephant does gnome-look.org only allow one upload per wallpaper?
[20:05] <SiDi> Dunno
[20:05] <SiDi> their site is so badly designed for adding artwork$
[20:05] <SiDi> they should really redesign it from scratch imo, even if it takes time
[20:06] <thorwil> yeah, works hard against my expectations
[20:06] <thorwil> but 4 downloads a few minutes after adding
[20:07] <SiDi> thorwil: it lagged a little but didnt crash or show it badly rendered :p
[20:08] <SiDi> damn
[20:08] <SiDi> xfdesktop cant read svg's
[20:08] <thorwil> want the png?
[20:09] <knome> gnome/xfce-look.org are always *damn* slow
[20:10] <SiDi> i got inkscape, no worries ;)
[20:10] <SiDi> I actually begin to love inkscape
[20:10] <SiDi> i'll have to dig through it and learn to use it, it looks promising
[20:11] <thorwil> oh, it's good to bring inkscape to its knees, too. or rather, make inkscape eat your cpu
[20:11] <SiDi> heh i dont try to do anything high-res with a laptop :)
[20:11] <knome> thorwil, why is the bg black in the glass.svg?
[20:11] <SiDi> i just use it for simple schemes for my project report. it's a good way to get used to it
[20:12] <thorwil> i've used several versions of freehand and illustrator ... inkscape is good. if only blur wasn't so expensive and export a little crisper
[20:13] <thorwil> knome, to save my eyes
[20:13] <knome> thorwil, right :P
[20:13] <knome> thorwil, why do they need to be saved?
[20:13] <SiDi> well, about blur, i got seriously pawned when i first tried it. It lagged my pc badly
[20:13] <thorwil> knome, editing dark graphics is easier against black bg
[20:13] <knome> maybe
[20:14] <SiDi> knome puts blue everywhere
[20:14] <knome> haha :P
[20:14] <SiDi> i'm sure even his whole house has been painted in blue by now :D
[20:14] <knome> not really
[20:14] <knome> we have white walls
[20:14] <knome> just plain white
[20:14] <SiDi> mines were meant to be white too
[20:14] <SiDi> but they got painted too fast, i can see the sad green there was before in some places
[20:15] <knome> and no paintings :P
[20:15] <knome> or whatever hanging
[20:15] <SiDi> placo-white ? :P
[20:15] <knome> but we have *tadah* red curtains :P
[20:15] <SiDi> ^^
[20:15] <SiDi> mines have an ugly blue color
[20:16] <knome> lol
[20:16] <SiDi> same for the door
[20:16] <knome> zomg
[20:16] <SiDi> its really an ugly place here :p but i'll be out of there soon oO
[20:16] <SiDi> the furnitures look like they're out of a 60's movie too
[20:16] <knome> the damage has already happened :P
[20:16] <SiDi> i had to bring some of mine - plain black - to save my eyes
[20:16] <SiDi> and i put a yucca too \o/
[20:17] <knome> meh
[20:17] <knome> i put my cd shelves on the wall
[20:17] <SiDi> dashua: ping :P
[20:18] <SiDi> (i'm in a student room btw :p sucks :p)
[20:18] <knome> haha
[20:19] <SiDi> soon i'll have a studio \o/
[20:19] <knome> lol
[20:19] <SiDi> (well, if they give me one :O)
[20:20] <SiDi> (still no answer, we're in middle of may ~)
[20:21] <knome> a studio or an apartment? :P
[20:22] <SiDi> Well, depends
[20:22] <SiDi> on a town i'm meant to have a studio
[20:22] <SiDi> they only give them to master students :p
[20:22] <SiDi> and on another one, the town's so empty they even got T1 apartments :D
[20:23] <SiDi> (i even got a friend who got an apartment with 2 bedrooms for 220€/month :P but he's been badly lucky)
[20:25] <knome> mehhh
[20:26] <SiDi> its meant to be for colocations
[20:26] <SiDi> but if you dont specify someone to colocate with and if theres enough room
[20:26] <SiDi> you end up with a T2 all for you
[20:26] <SiDi> and they're so dumb you'll only pay half of the electricity/water you use
[20:26] <SiDi> the rest will be for the ghost colocator. !
[20:26] <knome> lol
[23:25]  * SiDi yawns
[23:27] <knome> mah
[23:27] <SiDi> debugging my client T_T
[23:28] <SiDi> theres something wrong between a recv, a ntohs, and a b_decode function
[23:30] <knome> nah
[23:30]  * knome should be working in 5,5 hours
