I think the Great One is referring to the fact that the GIMP is a memory hog like few others...

GAH! Say that again, and you'll be exiled to Kalamazoo ('though you'll eat ham and eggs in Carolina), for forty thousand days.

:P

No, whoiam was right. I'm referring to the learning curve, which so far has been too steep for me to climb on a spare-time basis.

What does Gretzky have to do with anything?

e of pi 01-25-2006 10:43 PM
I gave GIMP a shot, but was utterly stumped. Unfortunately, my PhotoShop bias crippled me.

Xeroc 01-25-2006 10:45 PM
Actually, I'd say I like Photoshop the best so far, but Paint Shop Pro is quicker and more efficient for some tasks.

A guy wearing a toque, ski goggles, and a scarf (although in this particular font the goggles look a little misshapen).
(also, ignore the grey line - it's to make things line up and I don't know what the background colour is.)
(I'm putting way too much effort into this.)
Looks like a power drill mounted on a counter to me.

I first read that as "space-time", which made me wonder just how much virtual mass GIMP has, and how dense it's packed.

e of pi 01-26-2006 04:16 AM
It's pretty dense. And since apparently all the smart people here, no offense to Zeke, have figured it out, I'm feeling rather dense as well.

Dense enough to create its own reasonably strong gravitational attractive force?

Zeke 01-26-2006 06:36 AM
He said as well, not gravity well.

Chancellor Valium 01-26-2006 08:59 AM
Are you sure? Are you sure what he said doesn't depend on your position in space-time (and when you last had lunch with Zaphod Beeblebrox)?

Hole-y Moses, that's singularly awful. It's breached a new event horizon of craptitude.

Actually, that would explain where all the dark matter is hiding rather nicely.

Hmmm. Interesting theory. So it's in the color selector?

PointyHairedJedi 01-27-2006 10:06 PM
You'd think so, but no. That would be too obvious, you see.

e of pi 01-27-2006 10:10 PM
So where?

danieldoof 01-27-2006 10:13 PM
he could tell you but then he would have to kill you.....with PIE

Chancellor Valium 01-27-2006 11:57 PM
Sigh. The alpha channel options. Duh :roll:

e of pi 01-28-2006 04:29 AM
Ohhhhhhh. Right. Got it. :wink: Or at least I can pretend I do. :wink:

Zeke 01-28-2006 04:52 PM
I've redone the images -- they're now uniformly 300x200, and I hope you'll like the text better now. The seven of them can be seen together here.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice. 8) <- What does this mean? :arrow: <What function does this serve? :mrgreen: <And this? Do I even need to ask?

Derek 01-28-2006 06:44 PM
Those images are bigger than before, aren't they?

You can use it in a number of ways:

:arrow: Bullet points
:arrow: Results in (i.e., λογο + ς :arrow: λόγος )
:arrow: "I'm with stupid" jokes
:arrow: Something to put in your :bow:
etc.

Hopefully that should clear things up.

e of pi 01-28-2006 07:39 PM
Oh. Okay. And the green thing?

Yep. It occurred to me that nobody has a smaller resolution than 800x600 anymore, and even that's getting rare.

I should make an actual bow emoticon to punish you for that.

e of pi 01-28-2006 09:03 PM
I didn't get it.

Read it without the graphic.

No :P

Nice stuff Zeke :)

Zeke 02-01-2006 02:40 AM
I've added four new banners to the rotation. The full set is, as always, visible here.

Hmm... I think I'll switch B5 and Firefly's colour codes.

Derek 02-01-2006 03:11 AM
A Smallville one? Intriguing..... No. Wait. Boring. Pull off his kneecaps!

Zeke 02-01-2006 03:13 AM
But... but I kneed those!

Looks like the Doctor is visiting the Mutara Nebula again...

Zeke 02-01-2006 05:21 AM
Which tells you it's not the Ninth Doctor, of course. It's London, Cardiff, or nothing with that guy.

What do you all think of the Smallville banner? It was the most difficult to come up with, because I don't want to start using actors. The S logo is from Superman Returns.

I think it looks fine! :D


The only thing is, on the Dr. Who and the B5 especially, the text is really hard to read.

My own fiver quoted back at me. Sweet.

Harry Kim: Wait, where am I? I can't read the banner.... I'm so confused!

PointyHairedJedi 02-01-2006 12:40 PM
There's a really excellent fan-made image of the TARDIS in the time vortex here - I don't know if it would be okay to use without asking, but I probably would just to be on the safe side.

Looks good to me. Thanks for making it, Zeke.

Maybe not hard to read per se, but it doesn't stand out. Maybe the lettering for those two should have white outlines and shadows instead?

...or different colours...

*cough*

Aside from that, it looks great.
