10:17:23 <[bjoern]> http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/brainiac/jobs_big_brother.jpg
10:20:30 <[bjoern]> "That's not oil, that's Texas Tea Sauce!"
10:43:03 <[bjoern]> "Acknowledging that the outrageous misappropriation of public funds is inevitable, an estimated 500,000 Americans gathered in the nation's capital Sunday to demand their misused tax dollars at least be squandered on something really awesome that everyone can enjoy."
10:56:48 <[bjoern]> Yes, I have been expecting this http://www.theonion.com/video/new-apple-friend-bar-gives-customers-someone-to-ta,17693/
10:57:18 <[bjoern]> They should also have a friend bar on the phone.
11:21:04 <sbp> wow, they just destroyed the BBC News homepage
11:21:05 <phenny> sbp: 13 Jul 23:52Z <Morbus> tell sbp favorite serif-y reading font is... ?
11:21:20 <[bjoern]> They announced it in advance though
11:21:39 <[bjoern]> I am already annoyed about the redirect
11:22:13 <[bjoern]> There is a graphics glitch when zooming in opera, get a white bar next to the "NEWS" logo at the top, which is rather annoying too
11:22:16 <sbp> I'm annoyed about the basically 50% information density
11:22:41 <[bjoern]> Yeah I can't make heads or tails of the content area layout either
11:23:03 <[bjoern]> They might have hired the one redesigning the u.s. news.google.com edition.
11:23:13 <sbp> also some of the internal pages are of the new style
11:23:17 <sbp> and some are of the old style
11:23:27 <sbp> e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8818955.stm is old
11:23:36 <sbp> and http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10629017 is new
11:23:42 <sbp> both linked from the new homepage in the same section
11:24:13 <sbp> not sure if I'm keen on the font or not
11:24:55 <[bjoern]> I do wonder what the point of the numbers in the most popular top lists is
11:25:11 <[bjoern]> I mean, seriously, people do know how to read top ten lists without making the numbers explicit
11:25:25 <[bjoern]> and people do not care much about quickly knowing whether some story is #7 or #5
11:25:36 <sbp> Helvetica Neue apparently, not sure if it's @font-face embedded
11:27:11 <[bjoern]> I dislike that zooming in places the content in articles on the very left, while it remained in the centre with the old layout, mostly, due to the left hand nav bar
11:27:22 <[bjoern]> reading from the very left of the screen is somewhat annoying
11:27:47 <[bjoern]> if you are trained to expect a nav bar there at least.
11:27:53 <sbp> phenny: tell Morbus screen, Georgia. print, Galliard
11:27:53 <phenny> sbp: I'll pass that on when Morbus is around.
11:28:19 <[bjoern]> I probably dislike the new font
11:28:30 <sbp> do you see the Helvetica Neue?
11:28:34 <[bjoern]> My verdana-trained brain has a hard time coping
11:28:44 <[bjoern]> well I see it's different
11:29:48 <sbp> http://imagebin.ca/img/p5eP6G.jpg
11:29:54 <sbp> from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10617075
11:29:59 <[bjoern]> what's with all the rel="published-1277951184281" ?
11:30:23 <[bjoern]> You are jpging a screenshot
11:30:37 <sbp> yeah, that's because to change the screenshot format I have to do this:
11:30:50 <sbp> $ defaults write com.apple.screencapture type png && killall SystemUIServer
11:30:53 <sbp> and I couldn't be bothered
11:31:40 <sbp> something like "$ screenshot type png" would have been nice
11:31:47 <sbp> you know, something that we have a vague hope of remembering
11:31:55 <sbp> but OooOoOohhhHhh no, that's not the apple way
11:32:19 <sbp> we should all be using the iPad anyway, see
11:32:30 <sbp> where you probably have no choice but to screenshot in png
11:32:31 <[bjoern]> Careful, they might demand swhack log access to do away with all the criticism
11:32:37 <sbp> heh, heh
11:33:06 <sbp> also, Growl gets uninstalled now
11:34:26 <sbp> meh, I'll just turn automatic updates off
11:35:18 *** nogagplz has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
12:11:01 <[bjoern]> Tool that takes video files and tells me the (approximate) frame rate on the command line, analyzing the first few seconds if that's not in the metadata?
12:17:51 <[bjoern]> hmm ffmpeg seems to do okay maybe
12:20:09 *** laplink (~link@tos-tjnat-fw1.tj.unn.no) has joined #swhack
12:29:49 <MacTed> sbp - since when does Growl get uninstalled? it's never been uninstalled on my MBP, and I'm current on Apple and other updates...
12:32:20 <sbp> I must have installed it myself
12:32:23 <sbp> but I don't remember doing so
12:34:07 <MacTed> I've gotten Growl with Adium, and through it's own update/installer... but that's installation, not uninstallation

15:46:15 <yano> heh I was making a reference to the crappy verizon commercials
15:46:35 <[bjoern]> Yeah, we don't get those in the civilised world.
15:47:16 <yano> well that's because everyone can hear everyone else. No need to keep asking.
15:48:10 <yano> and well the rest of the world has GSM phones.
15:49:35 <yano> well I do too, but that's because I avoided verizon/sprint/at&t. I have t-mobile.
15:49:50 <[bjoern]> my condolences.
