[09:46] <mat_t> morning art people!
[10:09] <thorwil> morning!
[10:47] <mac_v> good evening ;p
[13:28] <kwwii> howdy all
[13:28] <knome> hello kwwii
[13:29] <knome> kwwii, i might have asked you already, but was there a bigger resolution photo of the uds jaunty group photo than in flickr?
[13:33] <kwwii> knome: I probably have one at home...at the office currently...ask me again on friday ;)
[13:34] <knome> okay
[13:35] <knome> how is the ubuntu artwork coming up?
[13:42] <kwwii> knome: good, I am starting to work on gdm...that is the last main piece we have to get in place
[13:42] <kwwii> well, that ond the wallpaper
[13:43] <kwwii> the new xsplash artwork should be included soon now that the licensing is cleared up
[13:43] <knome> okay :)
[13:45] <kwwii> the extra wallpaper stuff is going very well ;) I am very proud of how that is working out
[13:47] <knome> extra wallpaper?
[13:54] <kwwii> the photo wallpapers that people have submitted
[13:54] <kwwii> http://www.flickr.com/groups/1188458@N24/ is the shortlist
[13:55] <kwwii> naturally, we are not done with that yet though
[14:00] <knome> soo.. you are including some photo wallpapers for karmic?
[14:02] <kwwii> yes, up to 5 of them
[14:02] <knome> right
[14:02] <kwwii> for +1 I we are going to add a button to "get more backgrounds" or such
[14:02] <knome> are they going to be packaged in a separate pkg?
[14:03] <kwwii> probably...we also thought about putting them in an ubuntuone share
[14:03] <knome> hmm
[14:03] <knome> i'd really like to see them as one package
[14:03] <knome> that way eg. xubuntu users could use them easily
[14:06] <mac_v> hmm... > something wrong about this one :(  http://www.flickr.com/photos/jccamus/3233583409/in/pool-1188458@N24
[14:07] <knome> like.. what?
[14:08] <mac_v> the rocks look a bit dirty to me and/or the whites look like blotches
[14:08] <knome> mmh
[14:08] <knome> i wouldn't use such photo as wallpaper, but i can't see anything awful there :)
[14:08] <mac_v> if it was a blue whale the whites would have been good ;)
[14:08] <knome> lol
[14:09] <mac_v> yeah , exactly , i wouldnt use it as a wallpaper too.. :(
[14:09] <mac_v> kwwii: thorwil ^could you reconsider that for something else :)
[14:10] <kwwii> hehe
[14:15] <mac_v> quite an interesting shortlist :)
[14:26] <mac_v>  \o/ i found the loch ness monster  > http://www.flickr.com/photos/hisgett/220401494/in/pool-1188458@N24/
[14:26] <thorwil> the problem with selecting photos for me was that too many lack in composition (like it was an alien concept to some of the submitters) and a number of photos are simply not sharp (or sharp in the right spot)
[14:30] <mac_v> hehe , i submitted one like that ;p  ,without sharpness
[14:33] <mac_v> this one has a name on it ? o.0 , is that allowed> http://www.flickr.com/photos/eaguado/3566911719/in/pool-1188458@N24/
[14:33] <mac_v> but i like the pic :)

[14:36] <mac_v> oh , if thats a real name , sorry for the misunderstanding :)

[14:44]  * thorwil goes for a walk
[14:49] <knome> have a nice walk thorwil :)
[14:49] <kwwii> lol...no troy is not mark
[14:49] <kwwii> now that is funny, you've made my day
[14:49] <knome> :D
[14:50] <knome> i also had an incident today that made my day and at the same time, made me cry
[14:50] <knome> we have this trainee this year and he is supposed to write a html->rss script with perl
[14:50] <knome> the funny thing is that this is his last training and he should go in the work life after this
[14:50] <knome> BUT
[14:51] <knome> he had had some problems with writing the script (ok, bad enough)
[14:51] <knome> and i had to tell him how to parse an url from the html file
[14:51] <knome> even that was not enough, i had to tell him which functions to use
[14:51] <kwwii> newbies ;)
[14:51] <knome> i even wrote examples on how to use the functions, but he still thought it was hard
[14:52] <kwwii> often they just don't trust themselves
[14:52] <knome> yeah, and this guy is supposed to be working as a programmer in one year or something
[14:52] <kwwii> is anyone else here running karmic?
[14:52] <kwwii> hehe
[14:52] <knome> i installed it yesterday in my laptop, and i couldn't log in :P
[14:52] <knome> have to look more into it, it was 4am when the update finished :P
[14:54] <mac_v> kwwii: i'm on karmic
