| Islington | does anybody else really dislike drive-by contributions on the list | 15:13 |
|---|---|---|
| thorwil | Islington: i'm surprised there is such a thing on happening on the list | 15:17 |
| thorwil | Islington: or do you count mere words as contributions, too? | 15:18 |
| Islington | at this point I count anything as a contribution | 15:19 |
| Islington | also thorwil these aren't real drive-by either they are all mushroom spores popping up after the rain of Iain's "wallpaper contest is open" posting. | 15:21 |
| thorwil | heh, jbaer really had to add some fluff/repetition to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds | 15:24 |
| Islington | I shared this with doctormo already thorwil but did I show you this? | 15:29 |
| Islington | http://wstaw.org/m/2011/07/16/plasma-desktopa14958.jpg | 15:29 |
| Islington | the wall | 15:29 |
| thorwil | Islington: since i think we had no exchange in months ... | 15:29 |
| Islington | I need to hook up all the little circles, but the plan is that with doctormo script the circles will shift in x/y direction over time | 15:30 |
| Islington | thorwil: sorry I thought you were on g+ | 15:30 |
| thorwil | i'm not social, so i'm on no such network ;) | 15:31 |
| thorwil | Islington: seems brutal in it's simplicity, harsh edges and lack of a composition other than somewhat even distribution | 15:35 |
| Islington | and indeed here we end up at the question I have been playing with, should the initial arragement have a coherent compostion if over time it will morph into some even more random? | 15:36 |
| Islington | because to me that indicates decay rather than transformation | 15:37 |
| Islington | it should be like a dream flexible, moldable | 15:38 |
| thorwil | a rotting corpse wallpaper would be so awesome | 15:39 |
| Islington | lol | 15:39 |
| thorwil | maybe you can make it so it stays away from even distribution and behaves more like cloud formations, allowing the viewer to see shapes? | 15:39 |
| Islington | hmm, I was actually gonna go with a strict square concentrated geometric pattern, and let the doctormo's formula shift them over time; more like a seed | 15:41 |
| Islington | also thorwil you should get on g+ so that you can see exciting shares like this:https://plus.google.com/108481884885447424787/posts/V6Ny4AhhK99 | 15:44 |
| thorwil | maybe i will at some point, but currently it's too much of a risk to push the things i should be doing even further out :) | 15:45 |
| coz_ | hey all | 17:29 |
| vish | thorwil: the jbaer additions are from Fedora guidelines ;) | 17:52 |
| vish | he really missed his chance.. if he had behaved well last cycle, Iain et al might have let him take charge of the contest this time.. | 17:53 |
| thorwil | vish: yeah, i had a brief look at the list archive. i guess Iain already regrets taking the wallpaper thing to the list | 18:18 |
| vish | lol! | 18:18 |
| thorwil | and those barely half-literate kids make me glad about my decision | 18:19 |
| coz_ | thorwil, which decision what that? sorry I wasnt following closely enough:( | 18:53 |
| thorwil | coz_: i sense a pattern here ;) saying goodbye/unsubscribing | 18:54 |
| coz_ | thorwil, I cant seems to leave,,, it keeps drawing me back :) | 18:55 |
