AlanBellwho runs planet.ubuntu-women.org?14:15
elkyAlanBell, it's on canonical hardware afaik14:17
AlanBelljust the 35% width on the logo makes it look dreadfully squished on a big monitor14:18
elkyAlanBell, it's a squished logo, i'm not sure the monitor size has anything to do with that.14:19
AlanBellit is 35% of the width of the container, if the browser window is wide it grows14:19
AlanBellthe height of the image is 80% of the top banner thing, which is fixed14:20
AlanBellif you just remove the width with firebug the browser sorts out the aspect ratio14:20
AlanBellmaybe one to sort out with the new logo14:22
elkyah. it must be assuming a really narrow ratio then14:25
AlanBellit probably looks about right at a 1024 width browser. I just don't like bastard font sizes. (yes, that is the correct technical term)14:26
pleia2AlanBell: yeah, the planet has always been like that, should probably add redesigning that to the scope of our website project17:15
pleia2have to submit an rt ticket for it though (we don't have access to changing the theme)17:15
AlanBellmeh, don't worry about it then17:16
AlanBellbut yes, add to the scope17:16
AlanBelland feel free to chuck me tasks on that17:16
pleia2akgraner: are you going to send out a "these people are up for leadership positions, add testimonals now" message?17:31

czajkowskiCaoimhe is getting sooo cute20:46
JanC"""Caoimhe (pronounced approximately KWEE-və  or KEE-və) is an Irish Gaelic given name derived from the Gaelic caomh, meaning beautiful, gentle or precious. It is from the same root as the Irish name Kevin. Its English equivalent is Kevina (pronounced ke-VEE-nə)."""21:07
JanCwith such a name, she must be cute  ;)21:07
czajkowskiheh21:08

issyl0Wow.21:10
MichelleQ1My second child is Ainsley21:10
issyl0My name is boring in comparison!21:10
czajkowskimyself and sister have non irish names as my dad is english and cannot pronounce irish names correctly without a lot of effort21:11
AlanBellthere is a reason they are middle names!21:11
issyl0AlanBell: hehe21:11
MichelleQ1My kids have family names as middle names - Quinn's middle name is my maiden name21:12
czajkowskiI've my grans and my sister has my great grans first name21:13
MichelleQ1family names are such nice things to give to a child - assuming it isn't something completely bizarre.21:15
MichelleQ1I'd love to take Q to Ireland, to show him where his name comes from.  He hasn't asked yet, but I expect it won't be too many more years.21:17
MarkDudeI have Jorma - since my parents were dreamers, it is Native American21:17
MichelleQ1MarkDude: that's pretty cool.  Pronounced the way it's spelled?21:17
czajkowskiMichelleQ1: nice21:18
MarkDudeYep, the same spelling can be pronounced as a Y by some21:18
MarkDudeMy parents used to tease me and say that if they were slightly more Hippie, they would have given me the 1st name of River21:20
* issyl0 has boring names compared to you lot :P21:20
issyl0Lol21:21
czajkowskiissyl0: it's not all it's cracked up to be, since I was tiny I've had to explain my name over here21:21
issyl0czajkowski: I have to spell my first name all the time.21:22
AlanBellhttp://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/t__s__eliot/poems/1512121:22
issyl0Who was the poet that wrote "Cats Sleep Anywhere"?  I used to know that poem off by heart when I was about 6.  As did I know all the words according to the pictures on each page of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" when I was still in nappies, and I could count up to ten in French when I was three.  Good grief. :P21:23
issyl0Apparently... ;)21:23
AlanBellEleanor Farjeon21:25
pleia2ssh dev21:26
pleia2gah21:26
MichelleQ1issyl0: You'd be surprised at how many times I've had to spell "Hall" for people.21:26
AlanBelland I don't find the rest of that hard to believe21:26
pleia2window_foucs--21:26
pleia2focus too21:26
issyl0Oh yes.21:26
issyl0pleia2: fail?21:26

jussihehe21:26
pleia2about 5% of recruiters who email me call me Mr. Krumbach21:27
issyl0AlanBell: :)21:27
issyl0pleia2: do you sound unusally manly?21:27
issyl0unusually*21:27
pleia2issyl0: no, they're just tech recruiters and their templates always use Mr.21:27
czajkowskilol21:27
* czajkowski hugs pleia2 21:27
issyl0That wasn't meant in a nasty way :)21:27
MichelleQ1we usually have a rousing Abbott and Costello act when recruiters call ehre.21:27
pleia2:)21:27
MichelleQ1here, even21:28
* pleia2 hugs21:28
pleia2makes them easy to weed out, if they can't even go to the trouble of reading my first name and adjusting the template they *really* aren't worth my time ;)21:28
issyl0That's a good system21:29
MichelleQ1Mike & I both have resumes in public arenas - and so we will randomly get a phone call for one or the other of us, and usually answered by the other of us, so we get a lot of really interesting gender-oriented hesitation21:29
issyl0pleia2: what do you do again?21:29
pleia2issyl0: linux sysadmin21:29
issyl0pleia2: oh yes.21:29
issyl0Btw, if anyone (preferably in the UK) wants any (remote) data entry/proofreading doing -> http://issyl0.co.uk/work.php :P21:30
issyl0I didn't just say that, honest.  ^_^21:30
* issyl0 runs21:30
issyl0:P21:30
