MTecknologynewz2000: hi03:05
thorwilnewz2000: so i'm back online sooner than expected :)17:19
newz2000hey thorwil17:19
thorwilnewz2000: the images from my mail are in place?17:21
newz2000thorwil: are they different than the ones in your bzr branch?17:22
newz2000I can't remember what I did now17:22
thorwilnewz2000: they are until the revision 20 that i just pushed17:22
newz2000how can I tell if I put the right ones in or not?17:23
thorwilin other words, the tarball attached and the rev 20 are identical17:23
thorwilnewz2000: look at the images for 23 and 22 days to go17:23
newz2000http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/910/countdown-9.10-1/23.png17:24
thorwilnewz2000: if you see the number placement change, it's the old set17:24
newz2000oh, ok, I have the old ones17:24
newz2000I'll get the ones in from your download17:24
thorwilgood17:25
thorwilwhat happened to the slideshow?17:25
newz2000I'm not sure, activity kind of tapered off after the first round17:25
thorwilrime, knome: i lost internet connection for a while ...17:25
thorwilnewz2000: i thought it was ready to be used!?17:26
newz2000there were some improvements yesterday, I think the last thing that needs done is to start the text out visible and then fade out. The speed looks good though.17:27
newz2000I've been a little caught up in beta and other projects though so somene needs to tell me it's done and ready17:27
thorwilah, ok17:27
jpdsnewz2000: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta#Upstart - that cdimage link is gone.17:28
Ngjpds: ta :)17:28
jpdsNg: That page right there, not your racks.17:29
Ngjpds: definitely not my racks17:29
jpdsHehe.17:29
newz2000Ng: do we need to change the link or put the image back in place?17:29
Ngnewz2000: not my call :)17:29
NgI'd be surprised if the alphas are coming back though ;)17:30
newz2000ok, let me find Steve Langasek17:30
newz2000ok, all done, thanks jpds17:36
Turlcanonical's repo servers are extremely slow today :(20:25
Turlno more than 15kB/s20:25
=== Turl1 is now known as Turl
jpdsTurl: Yes.20:39
jpdsTurl: Tell that to every single person hammering the servers getting the beta when they should be using torrents/local mirrors.20:39
Turlany main server not being hammered?20:44
jpdsTurl: Pick a mirror from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors20:45
Turlmy country mirror is one week behind, not much help20:48
jpdsTurl: You could always use one like br.archive.ubuntu.com, rather than the one in London ?20:49
Turltrue20:50
TurlI guess it'll have better speed20:50
TurlI'm using ar.archive.ubuntu.com - the speed is sloooooow20:50
jpdsThat's because ar.archive is pointing at London.20:50
Turloh20:51
Turlwhy is there an ar.archive then?20:51
Turlit's confusing for ppl20:51
jpdsBecause noone's applied to be an official country mirror for Argentina?20:51
Turlyeah, but why not just remove ar. and create it when there's an official mirror?20:52
jpdsBecause that would break people's current setups?20:53
Turlyeah, but I mean, why was it created initially? I don't see why that exists20:54
knomethorwil, newz2000: i think rime has been busy.20:56
knomethorwil, newz2000: what was left to tweak?20:56
newz2000knome: the last thing I know that was mentioned was starting the text out as shown20:57
newz2000instead of fading it in at the beginning20:57
newz2000but I've been a bit caught up in other things so I wasn't able to follow the conversations too closely20:57
thorwilknome: i missed  a bit more than 1 day20:58
knomeokay, let me find the link20:58
knomehttp://markus.alshain.fi/markus/deve/slider/slider04.html20:58
knomethat's the current20:58
knomei don't think all the frames are correctly aligned20:59
knomebut how does that look otherwise?20:59
Turlknome: isn't it too quick? :/21:00
knomenewz2000 thought it was too slow before.21:00
* newz2000 checks21:00
newz2000no, it's not too quick. Looks good.21:00
thorwilyes, out of center21:00
knomei suppose that's relatively easy to fix.21:01
knomeis there anything else to fix?21:01
knomeother than that and it being clickable, naturally21:01
Turlit looks like you are running on a fast car21:01
Turl:P21:01
thorwilknome: no fade in for first text, centering, clickable. should be fine then21:04
knomeTurl, hmm. does driving a car fast bring you negative feelings? ;)21:04
knomeno fade at all?21:04
Turlknome: nope, but impedes me from reading :P I might be thinking it's too fast because mine moves almost continously but slower21:05
Turlhttp://labs.turl.com.ar/animcount/slide.html21:05
knomeyeah.21:05
newz2000ah, that's nice too. Too slow but the effect looks good.21:05
thorwilknome: hmm ... seems there are 2 fade-ins, for pulse and text on first frame. ideally it would be one quick fade-in for both. but having no fade-in for the text cam from newz200021:06
thorwilTurl: very nice. i especially like the start21:07
knomethorwil, there is no fadein for the pulse21:07
thorwilknome: then my tired brain mis-interpreted the jump from flat fill to graphic as very fast fade :)21:08
Turlthorwil: thanks :)21:08
newz2000I'm going to leave the animation in your hands guys. Make it look good and snappy. I'll publish it on Monday.21:09
thorwilTurl: the opening-up step before the countdown should run through and not have a stop/slow-down21:09
Turlthorwil: yep :)21:10
thorwilTurl: on the first run, i saw a grey area instead of the countdown image for a short bit21:10
thorwilguess that means images aren't but should be preloaded21:11
Turlyep21:12
knomehttp://emonk.fi/open/ubuntu/Karmic%20Countdown%20Banner/slider04.html21:13
TurlI did it quickly the other day but never finished it :P21:13
knomedoes that look better?21:13
Turlknome: what did you change? I think it's the same as before21:13
knomeoops, broke it21:13
knomeTurl, text doesn't fade in the first time and the frames are aligned21:14
knomenow it's also clickable21:14
knomefor now it reloads the current page21:14
Turlit creates a horrible blue like :/21:15
Turland red21:15
Turlwhen you click on it21:15
knomejust a minute21:16
knomei see if i can affect that21:16
knomeok, no more blue+red21:17
knomethorwil, ?21:18
Turlworks fine now knome :)21:19
knomeyay21:19
thorwileither i have a bad screenshot-timing, or at least some of the graphics are still off-center21:20
knomethorwil, can you give me some exact data if you did screenshooting, i can fix it then21:20
knomehmm21:21
thorwilknome: looks like the laptop is 5 px to far to the left21:22
knomefor some reason, the text on laptop fades out almostimmediately21:23
knomeright, i fixed it21:24
knomethorwil, any other misaligned?21:24
knome(hoe's the lappy now)21:24
knome*how21:24
thorwilcloud is shifted to the right21:25
knomehow much?21:25
knomebrb21:27
thorwilknome: 3 pixels21:27
thorwilknome: something wrong with the border. i only see a black border on top, not any other side21:28
knomehmm21:31
knomeweird21:31
knomeoh, not really.21:32
thorwiltoo tired, good night! :}21:32
knomeit's now red for debugging21:32
knomeokay, night thorwil21:32
Turlknome: #ubuntu910-rotator { border: 0; }21:33
Turlthat should remove it21:33
knomeno, we should *have* a black border...21:33
Turlwhy?21:34
knomethorwil says so21:35
Turlknome: you might remove it from the ul and add it to #ubuntu910-wrap21:35
Turl:)21:35
knomeno, then it's 182x152, which is too much, i hear21:36
knomeah, fixed anyway21:37
knomekind of followed your idea, but made the wrap itself 2px smaller;)21:37
TurlI was going to recommend you that heh :P21:38
