| iheartubuntu | I only had time to pull off one Natty countdown banner idea. Its very simple and uses the Ubuntu orange. Wished I had more time. Will be working well in advance on 11.10 designs! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/NattyCountdownBanner | 16:52 |

| nhaines | iheartubuntu: I like the elegance of your design. It's a real shame it doesn't qualify. :( | 17:19 |
| pleia2 | what's the trouble with it? | 17:23 |
| nhaines | pleia2: they basically said "no narwhals". | 17:24 |
| sn9 | wtf | 17:25 |
| nhaines | Some of the designs there are a bit gaudy.... I think Anthony Scarth's design's probably the nicest, or Leandro Gómez's. But iheartubuntu's is very clean, and that's something most of the others are lacking. | 17:27 |
| pleia2 | ah, I knew they said they didn't want animals a few countdown banners ago, but I didn't realize it had continued (and they didn't include that on the guidelines) | 17:28 |
| pleia2 | "it would probably be inappropriate to over-emphasize narwhal graphics" | 17:29 |
| pleia2 | from the announcement | 17:29 |
| sn9 | pink unicorns | 17:30 |
| pleia2 | they should add that to the guidelines on the wiki, seems like a few people didn't realize | 17:30 |
| nhaines | Yeah, I was surprised not to find it on the wiki page. | 17:30 |
| sn9 | "they" ? it's a wiki | 17:31 |
| pleia2 | sn9: changing the guidelines for someone else's contest is not good form | 17:31 |
| iheartubuntu | well, i tried not make the narwhal stand out with any detail. just an outline. | 17:32 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: it's better than the aqua one with the dancing narwhal. :) | 17:32 |
| iheartubuntu | there can always be exceptions :) (or not) | 17:32 |
| pleia2 | hehe, I quite like the cartoony one ;) | 17:33 |
| iheartubuntu | so do i! | 17:33 |
| iheartubuntu | i tihnk its good to have more than just one or two designs. | 17:33 |
| iheartubuntu | a cartoon design would work great on, well, my cartoon site | 17:33 |
| iheartubuntu | DUH - i just figured out i can ftp into my servers right from a "places" folder | 17:39 |
| nhaines | Any Nautilus folder will let you ftp in. | 17:41 |
| nhaines | nautilus is pretty awesome. :) | 17:41 |
| sn9 | unity isn't | 17:41 |
| nhaines | Unity is awesome, too. | 17:43 |
| nhaines | It's perfect for playing Minecraft. | 17:43 |
| nhaines | Q.E.D. | 17:43 |
| nhaines | Unity's awesomeness is much more recent, though. | 17:44 |

| nhaines | pleia2: I just picked up the book "15 Minutes Including Q&Q: A Plan to Save the World From Lousy Presentations". I'll let you know if it's any good. | 20:14 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: thanks :) | 20:15 |
| nhaines | pleia2: the Slashdot review (plus the title) sounded promising and the $2.99 Kindle price was too good to pass up. :) | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | ah nice | 20:15 |
| pleia2 | I was asked to submit a keynote talk for a little foss event back east last week, if I'm selected my stuffed animal audience will be well-used by the time I'm ready for it | 20:17 |
| nhaines | pleia2: oh wow, that's great! :D | 20:22 |
| nhaines | Someday I'll give a keynote. :) | 20:22 |
| pleia2 | yeah, we'll see, it's just a little conference but I have to start somewhere :) | 20:23 |
| nhaines | pleia2: how many times do you practice a speech before you give it? | 20:29 |
| pleia2 | nhaines: depends on the talk, 8 times is probably average though | 20:36 |
| pleia2 | I always set aside at least 8 hours for just speaking prep | 20:36 |
| nhaines | pleia2: I'm always a little lazy on setting aside time. I do a lot of talking out loud as I'm writing notes and creating slides. | 20:37 |
| nhaines | I even manage to convince myself I'll sound more ad-libbing and off-the-cuff. :) | 20:38 |
| nhaines | Even though I know that even when I was an instructor and giving the same 7-hour Excel lesson week after week, my "spontaneous" jokes were all well-planned in advance. | 20:38 |
| iheartubuntu | so thats what the stuffed animals are for! | 20:43 |
| iheartubuntu | pleia2 is going to have lucid dreams of talking to life sized furry humans. i would be worried when they start chasing you | 20:45 |
| pleia2 | cute fluffy things are never aggressive :) | 20:47 |
| iheartubuntu | :D | 20:47 |
| iheartubuntu | im going natty on this computer. be back in a few | 20:49 |
| iheartubuntu | (minutes? hours?) | 20:49 |
| iheartubuntu | natty still installing on my desktop. doing all the updates | 22:08 |
| nhaines | pleia2: it was a pretty good book. :) Not 100% applicable to every talk I'll give, but definitely had some good ideas in it. | 22:11 |
| iheartubuntu | 14 min to go for natty. i notice on the desktop im installing with nvidia, the topbar didnt work | 22:13 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: during the Ubiquity installer? It doesn't work on ATI either. | 22:15 |
| iheartubuntu | yes | 22:15 |
| iheartubuntu | i didnt experience that on this laptop with built in graphics | 22:16 |
| iheartubuntu | but it will work one installed? :) | 22:16 |
| iheartubuntu | (gulp) | 22:16 |
| nhaines | Yes, for me there's a missing icon and the top panel is only about 4px high. It's really annoying. | 22:17 |
| iheartubuntu | yes, thats exactly what it looks like right now | 22:19 |
| nhaines | Aww, UDS-S is in Orlando. | 22:21 |
| iheartubuntu | i saw that. did anyone here go to it last yr? | 22:21 |
| kdub | wasnt it in orlando last time? | 22:22 |
| iheartubuntu | yah | 22:22 |
| kdub | shuttleworth must like florida i guess | 22:25 |
| pleia2 | apparently it was a 2 year deal | 22:27 |
| broder | UDS-S is, what, 13.10? | 22:32 |
| broder | ah, the rumor is UDS-P not -S. that's...slightly less absurdly in advance | 22:33 |
| iheartubuntu | OMGubuntu mentioned it could be in FL again for budget reasons. dont know if they had a source to that or just speculation | 22:46 |
| broder | I don't have anything to compare against, but I thought the Caribe Royale was nice | 22:48 |
| iheartubuntu | woohoo! 3rd place in countdown banners! | 23:12 |
| pleia2 | oh, did they announce them? | 23:13 |
| iheartubuntu | shhh! i didnt finish reading the email. im not supposed to tell anyone! | 23:16 |
| iheartubuntu | dang | 23:16 |
| pleia2 | hah | 23:21 |
| iheartubuntu | this station is for nhaines... http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=1280187 | 23:39 |
| iheartubuntu | "Melodien aus den Bergen" | 23:40 |
| iheartubuntu | :D | 23:40 |
| kdub | internet | 23:46 |
| nhaines | iheartubuntu: congrats! Your banner is definitely the cleanest. :) | 23:47 |
| kdub | whats a banner for? | 23:49 |
| iheartubuntu | actually, i need to clean up the narwhal. its a bit ragged. i did it this morn early. first time doing all inkscape and i had just imported a jpg. need to trace it and clean it up | 23:54 |
| iheartubuntu | Countdown Banner... 28 days until Ubuntu 11.04, 27 days, 26 days, etc | 23:54 |
| iheartubuntu | finally getting a chance to work with unity here | 23:55 |
| pleia2 | kdub: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Website/NattyCountdownBanner | 23:55 |
| iheartubuntu | so far i like it | 23:55 |
| iheartubuntu | couple things im not a fan of | 23:55 |
| iheartubuntu | like the menu options being in the top panel | 23:55 |
| iheartubuntu | switching workspaces is an extra step | 23:55 |
| kdub | sure are a lot of banners... | 23:55 |
| * crashsystems <3 global menus | 23:56 | |
| iheartubuntu | but unity sure is much improved since SCaLE9x | 23:56 |
