[15:13] does anybody else really dislike drive-by contributions on the list [15:17] Islington: i'm surprised there is such a thing on happening on the list [15:18] Islington: or do you count mere words as contributions, too? [15:19] at this point I count anything as a contribution [15:21] 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. [15:24] heh, jbaer really had to add some fluff/repetition to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds [15:29] I shared this with doctormo already thorwil but did I show you this? [15:29] http://wstaw.org/m/2011/07/16/plasma-desktopa14958.jpg [15:29] the wall [15:29] Islington: since i think we had no exchange in months ... [15:30] 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] thorwil: sorry I thought you were on g+ [15:31] i'm not social, so i'm on no such network ;) [15:35] Islington: seems brutal in it's simplicity, harsh edges and lack of a composition other than somewhat even distribution [15:36] 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? [15:37] because to me that indicates decay rather than transformation [15:38] it should be like a dream flexible, moldable [15:39] a rotting corpse wallpaper would be so awesome [15:39] lol [15:39] maybe you can make it so it stays away from even distribution and behaves more like cloud formations, allowing the viewer to see shapes? [15:41] 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 [15:44] also thorwil you should get on g+ so that you can see exciting shares like this:https://plus.google.com/108481884885447424787/posts/V6Ny4AhhK99 [15:45] 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 :) [17:29] hey all [17:52] thorwil: the jbaer additions are from Fedora guidelines ;) [17:53] 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.. [18:18] 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] lol! [18:19] and those barely half-literate kids make me glad about my decision [18:53] thorwil, which decision what that? sorry I wasnt following closely enough:( [18:54] coz_: i sense a pattern here ;) saying goodbye/unsubscribing [18:55] thorwil, I cant seems to leave,,, it keeps drawing me back :) === islington_ is now known as Islington
