[15:13] <Islington> does anybody else really dislike drive-by contributions on the list
[15:17] <thorwil> Islington: i'm surprised there is such a thing on happening on the list
[15:18] <thorwil> Islington: or do you count mere words as contributions, too?
[15:19] <Islington> at this point I count anything as a contribution
[15:21] <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.
[15:24] <thorwil> heh, jbaer really had to add some fluff/repetition to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Documentation/Backgrounds
[15:29] <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 ...
[15:30] <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+
[15:31] <thorwil> i'm not social, so i'm on no such network ;)
[15:35] <thorwil> Islington: seems brutal in it's simplicity, harsh edges and lack of a composition other than somewhat even distribution
[15:36] <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?
[15:37] <Islington> because to me that indicates decay rather than transformation
[15:38] <Islington> it should be like a dream flexible, moldable
[15:39] <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?
[15:41] <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
[15:44] <Islington> also thorwil you should get on g+ so that you can see exciting shares like this:https://plus.google.com/108481884885447424787/posts/V6Ny4AhhK99
[15:45] <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 :)
[17:29] <coz_> hey all
[17:52] <vish> thorwil: the jbaer additions are from Fedora guidelines ;)
[17:53] <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..
[18:18] <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!
[18:19] <thorwil> and those barely half-literate kids make me glad about my decision
[18:53] <coz_> thorwil,  which decision what that?  sorry I wasnt following closely enough:(
[18:54] <thorwil> coz_: i sense a pattern here ;)  saying goodbye/unsubscribing
[18:55] <coz_> thorwil,  I cant seems to leave,,, it keeps drawing me back :)
