[08:18] <coz_> good day all
[15:59] <vish> thorwil: hey, does the backgrounds setup install /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/easy-install.pth  or does that exist even earlier?
[16:00] <thorwil> vish: the "local" part tells us it's not from a package
[16:02] <vish> thorwil: right, but is it from /your/ package?
[16:02] <thorwil> vish: setuptools is what makes setup.py work. ez-install is an addition of a script called by setup.py to download what is necessary
[16:03] <vish> ah, cool!
[16:03] <thorwil> vish: if you installed no other python stuff the setup.py way, then yes
[16:03] <vish> yea, no other one pythong stuff.. thx..
[16:03] <vish>  -g
[16:05] <thorwil> now writing a script that can take a "context.png" and recreate it for other resolutions will be fun
[16:31] <andreasn> kwwii, ping
[17:15] <kwwii> andreasn: hey
[17:15] <andreasn> hi! do you have this image, but without the lines? http://wptest.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bg.png
[17:15] <andreasn> if it was you that drew it, that is :)
[17:16] <kwwii> andreasn: yes, I have it as an SVG file (very large)
[17:16] <kwwii> andreasn: and yes, I did make it
[17:16] <andreasn> how large, like 1 GB?
[17:16] <andreasn> :)
[17:16] <kwwii> not that large, let me check
[17:16] <kwwii> only 20mb or so
[17:16] <andreasn> that's all right
[17:17] <andreasn> what license does it have btw?
[17:18] <kwwii> I guess it is CCbySA
[17:18] <kwwii> cleaning out the file I had leaves only 2.9MB
[17:18] <kwwii> :P
[17:18] <andreasn> haha
[17:19] <kwwii> I made it while working for canonical, but it was not an official project (ie secret) so I think it can be CCbySA
[17:19] <kwwii> andreasn: do you need it for anything specific?
[17:19] <andreasn> yes, for the new GNOME website. ccbysa is ok
[17:19] <andreasn> I thought it was for the installer (too maybe?)
[17:19] <andreasn> oh, you're not with canonical any more?
[17:20] <kwwii> nope
[17:20] <kwwii> since a couple of months
[17:20] <kwwii> working for a small start-up near my home
[17:20] <andreasn> cool, nice with stuff that are close
[17:20] <kwwii> indeed
[17:21] <andreasn> what does the company do?
[17:21] <kwwii> well, software naturally ;-) they are writing a huge backend and front-end solution for e-commerce sites
[17:22] <andreasn> cool
[17:29] <thorwil> vish: "Not many had noticed this before he mentioned it" how you know? hundreds of the silent subscribers might have seen it the same way ;)
[17:29] <vish> thorwil: ;p
[17:29] <vish> thorwil: no one knows that.. sssh! ;)
[17:30] <vish> thorwil: but still, you have a wicked eye, and i imagine very few would have noticed it.. :)
[17:31] <thorwil> nah, my eye isn't wicked. it happens seldom that it goes out to town on its own
[18:13] <ivanka-train> hey thorwil
[18:13] <thorwil> hey ivanka-train
[18:14] <ivanka-train> thorwil: I finally put together the artwork survey
[18:14] <ivanka-train> but then Survey Monkey was being really annoying and I had to come and get my train
[18:14] <ivanka-train> grrr
[18:14] <thorwil> bad monkey
[18:15] <thorwil> ivanka-train: so the survey will actually happen next week?
[18:16] <ivanka-train> It actually might happen tomorrow if I take a deep breath and fight with survey monkey
[18:16] <thorwil> cool
[18:16] <ivanka-train> thorwil: Can you think of any alternative tools?
[18:17] <thorwil> ivanka-train: the only survey i ever did was done on paper (and analyzed with ... access!)
[18:18] <thorwil> i was young and needed the money
[18:19] <thorwil> well ok, there was no money
[18:20] <ivanka-train> thorwil: heh
[18:26] <thorwil> vish: i think the potential on the list is rather low, if you want to drum up more contributors, the forum and announcements on the planet might work
[18:28] <thorwil> vish: i have been wondering if we should try to invite blender and maybe processing folks to create wallpapers to our specs
[18:29] <vish> thorwil: yea.. maybe..
[18:37] <vish> thorwil: we should also make sure doctormo announces on deviantart
[18:37] <doctormo> hel-lo
[18:37] <thorwil> hola
[18:37] <vish> HELLo ;)
[18:37] <thorwil> vish: how to make sure? do cookies work?
[18:38] <vish> thorwil: nah, poke him on irc just like how i did above.. ;)
[18:38] <thorwil> vish: you are so ruthless!
[18:39] <vish> thorwil: btw, i guess, he prefers biscuits (better for tea..)
[18:39] <vish> s/for/with
[18:55] <doctormo> It's true
