| MarkDude | Tedx next Thur | 03:50 |
| MarkDude | free | 03:50 |
| seidos | i was really bored so i whipped this up last night: http://i.imgur.com/dVyC3.png | 03:51 |
| seidos | i wasn't going to show you guys, but, eh, why not, it's friday :D | 03:51 |
| seidos | it's more for pleia2 and DarkwingDuck though | 03:51 |
| seidos | actually, that's not true, i wasn't that bored, i just thought it would be cool to visualize it | 03:54 |
| MarkDude | lol | 03:55 |
| seidos | i was thinking of grepping irc logs for laughter, to see if i could make more | 03:56 |
| seidos | unfortunately, my nickname isn't a character | 03:56 |
| * MarkDude had some questions for ple ia2 and figured I would wait for the dust to settle from the \return trip | 03:57 | |
| seidos | oh | 03:58 |
| akk | Long ago somebody had a stylesheet for chatzilla that showed icons for each person in the IRC channel. | 04:02 |
| akk | It wasn't quite as fun as MS Comic Chat, but a step in that direction. | 04:02 |
| seidos | i think it would be cool if it were an animated cartoon | 04:05 |
| seidos | it's like, free scripts! | 04:05 |
| seidos | actually, i think there are probably other channels where that would work better on | 04:05 |
| akk | MS Comic Chat was pretty amazing ... characters would change direction, join each other in the frame when they were talking to each other,e tc. | 04:06 |
| akk | Dunno why they ditched it. | 04:06 |
| akk | Never seen an opensource equivalent. | 04:06 |
| seidos | hmmm, i think i remember some comic thing in yahoo, but it doesn't sound that sophisticated | 04:06 |
| seidos | maybe i could figure out a way to automate the creation of such "comics" | 04:07 |
| seidos | it would probably take me years, but perhaps someday | 04:08 |
| akk | seidos, what did you use for the balloon outlines? They look nice. | 04:10 |
| seidos | akk: nothing impressive, just a graphic from images.google.com | 04:11 |
| seidos | what i meant to say was, a fabulously stupendous super awesome graphic from google images! \o/ | 04:12 |
| akk | I always wanted to write a gimp plug-in to do cartoon balloons (it's too many steps making them manually) but never got to a state I was happy with. | 04:14 |
| seidos | i can't even imagine | 04:16 |
| akk | It would just be a rounded-rectangle (white background, black border) plus a triangle pointing the right way. The only trick is specifying the location of the triangle. | 04:18 |
| akk | I couldn't think of a good way to do that then, but now that I've done Arrow Designer I think I could do a cartoon balloon plug-in similarly. | 04:19 |
| seidos | mmhm | 04:22 |
| seidos | actually, i wonder how they made this speech balloon now | 04:27 |
| seidos | i wonder if they drew it then scanned it, or used a tablet | 04:27 |
| seidos | tablet==digital writing input device | 04:31 |
| akk | I bet it's generated by a program. | 04:32 |
| seidos | hmmm | 04:45 |
| seidos | maybe i'll think about it some more later | 04:45 |
| pleia2 | coming home :) | 14:06 |
