evilvishcoz_: http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/10:32
evilvishsubmit is broken..10:32
evilvishiainfarrell: yea.. they are complaining about not being able to submit..10:33
evilvishiainfarrell: regarding the submit, you mentioned you were going to follow up with doctormo … what happened?10:33
iainfarrellevilvish: I had a day job ;) I'll have to ask him when he's online later on. I just wondered if you guys knew anything about it10:34
evilvishlol!10:35
iainfarrell:)10:35
evilvishiainfarrell: last i spoke to doctormo he mentioned that he is not a PHP dev and that there is nothing much he can do right now.. could you get richardlee or someone else who knows php to look into it?10:35
iainfarrellevilvish: sadly not, we're all a bit stacked at the moment and can't spare him to look at this10:35
coz_ooo it made me recover a password     I hope i can change it  let me check10:36
iainfarrellis there anyone else helping to run the site?10:36
evilvishiainfarrell: i asked another person too.. but he was lost as well.. :(10:36
evilvishiainfarrell: if all else fails.. just open an lp bug report and ask people to add files to the bug :D10:36
* darkmatter rawrs loadly10:37
darkmatterloudly*10:37
iainfarrelldarkmatter: I liked loadly10:39
iainfarrellhas weight ;)10:39
coz_:)10:39
darkmatterhaha10:40
darkmatterI'm just overly happy because my walk triggered an epiphany or 12 ;P10:41
evilvishiainfarrell: launchpad can handle both svg and png attachments.. so wont be an issue.. (that is if we cant get someone to spend an hour on the site..)10:43
coz_uploading is definilty not working :)10:44
iainfarrelldarkmatter: glad to hear it10:45
iainfarrell;)10:45
iainfarrellevilvish: we can't have people uploading to LP10:46
iainfarrellthat's ridiculous10:46
evilvishyea.. ;)10:46
iainfarrellI'll chat to DocMO and if all else fails10:46
iainfarrellI think we move to Flickr10:46
iainfarrellbecause Yahoo's engineers can worry about keeping the site up10:46
iainfarrelland it's easy to search10:46
iainfarrelland easy to upload to10:46
iainfarrellwe need something that's reliable10:47
coz_ooo   I really dont know how to use flickr10:47
evilvishiainfarrell: you could rather use deviantart instead..10:47
thorwilevilvish: don't make me puke10:47
evilvishthorwil: will wiki do it?10:48
iainfarrellevilvish: It's not a very easy site to use, neither is a wiki10:48
iainfarrellwe're already on Flickr10:48
evilvishthorwil: i mean the final touch to puking ;p10:48
iainfarrelland as the wallpaper contest is there already10:48
iainfarrellfor photos10:48
iainfarrelland you can categorise an image10:48
thorwilevilvish: final touch? it might trigger turning inside out!10:48
iainfarrellas an illustration or photo or other10:48
iainfarrellso would make filtering for judging very east10:48
iainfarrell*easy10:49
thorwilyaya, flickr easily beats our alternatives that happen to not work at all10:49
iainfarrellthorwil: exactly and we want this non photo wallpaper to be successful10:49
iainfarrellwould hate for submissions to be low because the site doesn't work10:50
thorwilit still sucks for limiting resolution for free accounts and being a proprietary service that we then push unto people10:50
evilvishiainfarrell: well.. IMO, it is better if you could squeeze one hour out of richardlee.. saves a lot of hasstle ;)10:50
iainfarrellevilvish: I don't know it's just an hour and he's not mine to use as I see fit10:50
iainfarrelland it's still a bodge10:50
evilvish:p10:50
iainfarrellwhat if it happens again? We agreed to set it up at UDS and it's not working yet, doesn't bode well10:51
evilvishiainfarrell: well, worst case if he spends one hour you would know the site is unfixable and we switch to flickr10:51
iainfarrellI'm just trying to avoid getting messages from frustrated people who'd like to contribute10:51
iainfarrellbut again evilvish he has a lot to be getting on with which effects the launch of Natty for Canonical so I can't just go get an hour of his time10:51
iainfarrellI'll catch up with Doc when he's up10:51
iainfarrellsee what he knows10:52
evilvishcool.. :)10:52
evilvishdoctormo: ^^10:52
thorwiliainfarrell: as unhappy as i am with flickr, if i were you, i would have said: forget that owl thing, we move to flickr last week already10:52
iainfarrellthorwil: We've still got plenty of time if I get a blog post out today/ tomorrow and I didn't want to just say we're switching because it's a team effort, we all agreed to try the new site on a sunny day in Florida :)10:55
iainfarrellbut I think we're at that point10:55
iainfarrellit's just over a month10:55
iainfarrelland people need to know where to put submissions10:55
iainfarrellthanks for being agreeable to the idea though10:55
coz_whoa I did flickr  :)   http://www.flickr.com/photos/57304627@N04/10:57
thorwil*standing ovations* :)11:01
coz_thorwil,  lol  well its about time  I suppose... I really didnt want to use flicker but ,...11:01
evilvishcoz_: dont tell troy you uploaded your stuff! ;p11:04
coz_evilvish,  :)  I am as we speak11:04
thorwilcoz_: https://launchpad.net/~t-w-/+archive/ppa should also work for Natty, now. would you be so kind to try it?11:05
coz_thorwil,  ah cool11:08
coz_ok enough for flickr uploades11:16
coz_ok 9  is enough   http://www.flickr.com/photos/57304627@N04/11:24
darkmattercoz_: very nice. upload moar :D11:27
coz_darkmatter,  ah  I dont know .... I am looking at some of my old stuff ...maybe upload 3 more11:27
coz_ok definitley done for now11:33
darkmattermeh. I'm considering starting work on library/filer/<insert various other functions here> component of Sojourn tomorrow, but maybe I should just wait for a relatively stable gtk+3 so I don't have to port crap to the new api11:34
coz_darkmatter,  that sounds reasonable11:35
darkmattercoz_: the modular app shell (using webkit) for things like the messaging centre. photo gallery, etc. but still needs reliance on gtk. I think I told you about the idea before. pretty much have it nailed conceptually. so want to get a basic build out there so I can start dragging people in for funtimes ;D11:38
coz_darkmatter,  yes I remember...  :)11:39
evilvishhaha! Nathan Barley: "today's ridiculous is tomorrow's really cool!"11:42
* evilvish reminded by.. <iainfarrell> that's ridiculous11:42
* evilvish bbl..11:42
darkmattercoz_: and as far as "workspaces" go (well, not really workspaces, but same general concept), I was thining instead of crudely flipping/sliding about, have sort of a panoramic approach, or more accurately "screen can be bigger than display" feel and allow for smoothly switching while watching the scenery roll by. not really a necessity, but if I can make it work would be a nice "natural" feeling bling :P11:50
Viper550oh hello13:27
doctormothorwil, iainfarrell, evilvish: Move to flickr, we'll work out how to digg ourselves out of the flickr hole for next release.14:03
doctormoSo long as everyone is aware that flickr remains an issue and that we use it because we have _nothing_ else.14:03
doctormoI personally, won't be submitting to the contest however, I don't have a flickr account. So I'm going to be a rare instance.14:04
doctormoBut I think you're all right, of course, we need something that works.14:04
doctormoAlthough iainfarrell, we were trying to use an experimental cchost deployment for production, we tried, it failed, no loss. We'll try something else next time.14:05
doctormoMaybe something not php *shudder* maybe something python based so we can get it deployed onto Canonical servers.14:05
iainfarrelldoctormo: ok, thanks for getting back14:06
doctormoiainfarrell: The specifics of the issue: the sys-admin upgraded from hardy to lucid, the php version jumped and the cchost fell over permanently.14:07
Sud0_Hey guys18:21
Viper550Are any of you good at fonts?18:27
thorwilViper550: what do you mean with good at fonts?18:30
Viper550well, good at working with/making font glyphs/such18:31
thorwilViper550: well, i sometimes create custom type for logos. doesn't make me a type designer18:32
Viper550http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Marketing/Branding#Fonts the font we got here is nice, but its missing quite a few international glyphs18:33
Sud0_What Photo Editing Program do you all use?18:34
