[06:43:04] <MrBluze> cheers FrogBlast :) catch u later
[06:40:54] <MrBluze> i am - i gotta get home
[06:40:10] <FrogBlast> I guess I should, too. Later!
[06:39:57] <FrogBlast> You're off?
[06:39:52] <MrBluze> cheers :)
[06:39:47] <FrogBlast> Will do.
[06:39:41] <MrBluze> whenever ur in here etc
[06:39:32] <MrBluze> just let me know if i need to take items off or on and i'll do it
[06:39:21] <MrBluze> dont worry
[06:39:20] <MrBluze> its dumb
[06:38:12] <FrogBlast> It's the most counterintuitive thing I've ever used.
[06:37:57] <FrogBlast> Something about the layout and... Talk sections, and... I just get lost.
[06:37:13] <MrBluze> and once u are logged in, u can edit
[06:37:07] <MrBluze> its easy jjust get an account
[06:37:03] <MrBluze> haha lol nah
[06:36:37] <FrogBlast> *cough* I should learn to use wikis
[06:35:33] <MrBluze> http://wiki.soylentnews.org
[06:33:25] <MrBluze> i will put that list on the wiki now
[06:33:19] <MrBluze> okay
[06:33:13] <FrogBlast> I've only SVGed four sections, so those are all left.

[06:32:46] <FrogBlast> Answers
[06:31:34] <MrBluze> as i said i mostly draw not really edit and pixellate so i will do things how i can - at worst they might just be ideas for icons if they are not up to standard
[06:31:02] <MrBluze> there is
[06:30:39] <FrogBlast> I was going to do a carbon atom for Science today, but there's just so much to do in this life.
[06:30:30] <MrBluze> can u make a list up so i can pick them off?
[06:30:12] <FrogBlast> More icons would be great help.
[06:29:01] <MrBluze> yeah that's the nature of this
[06:28:45] <MrBluze> oh and btw if u have tasks for me to do that might offload your work
[06:28:41] <FrogBlast> It's so depressing to be like, Daaaaaamn... then load it in Chrome and be like... Awwwwww...
[06:28:36] <MrBluze> :) all good
[06:28:14] <FrogBlast> I think I'll give Inkscape a try tomorrow.
[06:28:10] <MrBluze> but i reckon if we can do this with svg we're onto something good
[06:27:57] <MrBluze> no rush
[06:27:50] <MrBluze> i cant just now but later i will do some experimentation
[06:27:35] <MrBluze> yes
[06:27:06] <FrogBlast> My shines all have sharp concavities that really piss off the filter
[06:26:51] <FrogBlast> They usually involve a convex bezier path
[06:26:25] <MrBluze> u know, the usual 3d effect for aqua
[06:26:16] <MrBluze> i do recall a tutorial on how to make shiny buttons with svg
[06:26:02] <MrBluze> but wait
[06:25:58] <MrBluze> hmm..
[06:25:49] <MrBluze> bother
[06:24:12] <FrogBlast> SVG does not like gradient masks, apparently
[06:23:56] <MrBluze> mm?
[06:23:19] <FrogBlast> aww
[06:21:11] <FrogBlast> ooh
[06:11:12] <MrBluze> then the general room light makes a more dull and diffuse shine
[06:11:03] <MrBluze> firstly the spot light on the bar makes the white bright and tight shine
[06:10:53] <MrBluze> but the shine is made up of several things
[06:10:46] <MrBluze> it's getting better
[06:10:40] <FrogBlast> And the filter isn't following the actual shape... weird...
[06:09:57] <FrogBlast> It should be more beautiful shine... it's not behind anything weird...
[06:09:20] <FrogBlast> ?
[06:09:07] <MrBluze> u have to trim that layer
[06:08:19] <FrogBlast> I can't get rid of that weird white corner sticking out...
[06:05:45] <MrBluze> then there's the curved shine on the ends, hard edge going to soft
[06:05:14] <MrBluze> and that has a hard edge at the corner but smooth towards the middle
[06:05:02] <MrBluze> but in a layer under it is the dull grey shine
[06:04:46] <MrBluze> so .. in the marsbar, the shine has a hard edge and fades upwards to black
[06:04:05] <MrBluze> whatever u are doing is working
[06:04:05] <FrogBlast> Illustrator thinks it's a real fill, so applies the filter, but the transparency still works.
[06:04:01] <MrBluze> well that's interesting
[06:03:50] <FrogBlast> My cunning solution was to apply a gradient made of two colors set to 1% opacity
[06:03:45] <MrBluze> oh.
[06:03:31] <FrogBlast> Based on the way you describe things, Illustrator behaves very differently. I've been trying to use inner-glow shadows and drop shadows to replicate sheen, but when I have a solid background it looks crap, and when I have a transparent background, it doesn't evenapply the filter, or applies it with 0% opacity.
[06:03:27] <MrBluze> look at the mars bar again
[06:03:24] <MrBluze> ok now
[06:02:55] <MrBluze> it's working
[06:02:51] <MrBluze> yes
[06:02:31] <FrogBlast> There's a little corner of something I need to kill, but it mostly worked.
[06:02:22] <FrogBlast> http://personalpreferences.info
[06:02:21] <FrogBlast> Gah...
[06:01:26] <MrBluze> now u at least gotta tell me what that is lol
[05:59:55] <FrogBlast> I have a cunning plan!
[05:57:35] <MrBluze> setting black to be alpha will remove the edges and make a very convincing effect
[05:57:01] <MrBluze> .. alpha repaint?
[05:56:48] <MrBluze> where's the alpha setting thing.. u should be able to say black is alpha
[05:56:48] <FrogBlast> That may be the problem. I keep trying to blend the results of filters
[05:56:22] <FrogBlast> Ah
[05:56:13] <FrogBlast> Even weird fringes
[05:56:12] <MrBluze> it wont work unless it's white to transparency
[05:56:00] <MrBluze> lighten doesnt work?
[05:55:50] <FrogBlast> Maybe I should read more about filters lol
[05:55:48] <MrBluze> its just experimentation
[05:55:43] <MrBluze> haha doesnt matter
[05:55:36] <FrogBlast> Man, I sure am making it worse now.,
[05:55:26] <MrBluze> oh
[05:54:35] <FrogBlast> That was the best blend mode I could find :(
[05:53:56] <MrBluze> for the layer
[05:53:39] <MrBluze> change the blend mode
[05:53:08] -!- LaminatorX [LaminatorX!~Laminator@Soylent/Staff/Editor/LaminatorX] has parted #style
[05:53:06] <MrBluze> okay
[05:52:58] <FrogBlast> I'm trying to use a filter because gradients seem to lack features I need...
[05:52:30] <MrBluze> not sure where to set that in illustrator
[05:52:16] <MrBluze> so it goes to transparent over the black behind
[05:52:09] <MrBluze> that layer should be "black is alpha"
[05:51:53] <MrBluze> top and bottom
[05:51:48] <MrBluze> the white shiny bit
[05:51:25] <FrogBlast> Which?
[05:50:47] <MrBluze> is it rendering to alpha, or to black?
[05:50:38] <MrBluze> annoying rendering with svg.. it's unforgiving
[05:49:17] <MrBluze> http://ts2.mm.bing.net .. maybe
[05:48:03] <MrBluze> i may be able to try some things and send u examples to try
[05:47:44] <MrBluze> dunno.. i cant find a good one
[05:46:26] <MrBluze> slightly comic cursive
[05:46:01] <MrBluze> http://slodive.com .. or
[05:45:38] <MrBluze> try a cursive type font for Soylent
[05:45:19] <MrBluze> yes
[05:45:03] <FrogBlast> Even int he middle, if you zoom in, there's a subtle white fringe around the highlits
[05:44:57] <MrBluze> oh, also
[05:44:54] <MrBluze> but i dont mind what program u use
[05:44:51] <MrBluze> well it exports to it
[05:44:45] <MrBluze> yeah it's just svg on inkscape
[05:44:24] <FrogBlast> Maybe I should switch to inkscape jsut to be working in (I assume) native SVG, instead of hoping things make the jump in style.
[05:44:23] <MrBluze> at the end?
[05:43:43] <FrogBlast> Those fringes look terrible...
[05:43:35] <MrBluze> just top left corner, but it's good
[05:43:28] <FrogBlast> Agh, here too...
[05:43:19] <MrBluze> rendering is a tiny bit broken on my firefox
[05:43:10] <MrBluze> that's looking pretty promising
[05:41:56] <FrogBlast> http://personalpreferences.info
[05:37:41] <MrBluze> it has been on my to do list for a week or two now
[05:37:21] <MrBluze> cheers :)
[05:36:48] <LaminatorX> I'm very glad we've had this conversation.
[05:36:34] <MrBluze> and i will chase ppl until they stop running
[05:36:26] <LaminatorX> Got it.
[05:36:19] <MrBluze> or mrbluze@hotmail.com
[05:36:17] <MrBluze> style@soylentnews.org
[05:36:11] <MrBluze> yep, email them to me
[05:36:00] <MrBluze> lol
[05:35:52] <LaminatorX> Alright, we've got communication open and a framework for next steps. I'll write some before & after samples (heck I can use real submissions) in the morning, and some draft style tags tomorrow morning once I settle in at work. How am I to get you these documents?
[05:35:50] <FrogBlast> But man, the time I sued to waste panning around images...
[05:35:35] <FrogBlast> I got a Magic Mouse for Christmas, and I was like, "Eh...?"
[05:34:39] <MrBluze> and just say.. I want <byline> to look like this: ... etc
[05:34:28] <MrBluze> so the way to do this quickly is do format a document
[05:34:19] <MrBluze> yes
[05:34:16] <MrBluze> ok im here
[05:33:54] -!- martyb [martyb!~a6b5030d@Soylent/Volunteer/martyb] has parted #style
[05:32:25] <LaminatorX> <byline> alone would save us something like 20 keystrokes per article, and Dopefish would never again forget the colon.
[05:31:20] <MrBluze> brb
[05:31:13] <MrBluze> woohoo ;)
[05:31:06] <FrogBlast> Ooh, this wrapper is startin' to look niiice.
[05:30:57] <MrBluze> and <quote> and <code>
[05:30:28] <LaminatorX> Go team.
[05:29:48] <MrBluze> and it woul be great to work this out with u and make it work
[05:29:39] <MrBluze> start with basic though - get something in
[05:29:25] <MrBluze> this is gold, LaminatorX
[05:29:22] * MrBluze nods
[05:29:11] <LaminatorX> I'm also very interested in some CSS support for establishing things like <book></book> and <movie><movie> for pre-defined title reference styles.
[05:29:01] <MrBluze> it would be good to have something that allows images
[05:28:08] <xlefay> e.g. http://beta.etherpad.org
[05:27:39] <MrBluze> FrogBlast: i made a page for u on the wiki
[05:27:17] <xlefay> etherpad*
[05:27:16] <MrBluze> LaminatorX: .. well give an example of how u want the submission text to appear to u first go .. they have to then fix the perl so it doesnt bastardize it
[05:27:14] <xlefay> (least, if you do it at the same time, that is)
[05:27:05] <xlefay> Etterpad might be better for group-editing the same document?
[05:26:43] <FrogBlast> I was just thinking a wiki is a good way to group-edit. Preserves changes, everyone can see it, etc. Might even be a fun historical tool in the future to see the process early submissions went through. But no idea if it's practical.
[05:26:39] <LaminatorX> What the editor gets has already had a perl-wash to lay it out in HTML the way slashdot would.
[05:26:36] <MrBluze> LaminatorX: .. it will do heaps .. i have noticed if i put images or stuff up, it's acted on more readily
[05:25:51] <MrBluze> or is the problem that the submissions u are seeing are already butchered??
[05:25:50] <LaminatorX> I could do somethng like that in the morning.
[05:25:10] <martyb> FrogBlast: there's gotta be a way... remember when Sarah Palin was nominated for vp? they protected her page; I'm sure there's lots of others.
[05:25:05] <MrBluze> and we give it to them, and they just do it.
[05:24:57] <MrBluze> then below write what you want to see
[05:24:48] <MrBluze> make a word document or equiv, write the article how you want to input it, format it in monospace so it's obviously input
[05:24:30] <xlefay> There should be.. it's MediaWiki, best to ask FunPika.
[05:24:24] <MrBluze> do this..
[05:24:17] <MrBluze> LaminatorX:
[05:24:12] <MrBluze> no, not really FrogBlast
[05:24:12] <LaminatorX> That's what we get to work with.
[05:24:03] <FrogBlast> Is there a way to protect a wiki page?
[05:23:37] <LaminatorX> Slash puts a bunch of HTML formatting in place automatically, basically it takes the submission, wraps it in quotes and <i>, and puts in <br><br> between paragraphs.
[05:23:35] <MrBluze> as it's just one protected page that the editors only access - the js doesn't need to be integrated to the site in any big way at all
[05:22:53] <MrBluze> that is very easy
[05:22:45] <MrBluze> well to that one, FrogBlast, what we need to request is a wysiwyg editor for the editors
[05:22:26] martyb_afk is now known as martyb
[05:22:05] <FrogBlast> Is the issue with the formatting just that it's hard to edit?
[05:21:52] <MrBluze> if u make that look pretty and nice, with exactly the font and formatting u imagine would be ideal,
[05:21:21] <MrBluze> in libreoffice word or something
[05:21:06] <MrBluze> so..
[05:20:56] <LaminatorX> I forgot to close quotes before that last </p>.
[05:20:47] <MrBluze> yes
[05:20:32] <LaminatorX> <p>Some Member writes:</p><p>"I came across this interesting <a href="story.example.com/index.html">article</a> where they said, 'Here's a short quote.' What do our members think?</p>
[05:19:31] <MrBluze> one that has a quote by a programmer, and then an example of some code, etc
[05:19:28] * MrBluze is thinking, LaminatorX, what could be a good idea is to take one of the stories, format it in a word processor, output a PDF and we hand that to css
[05:17:41] martyb is now known as martyb_afk
[05:17:40] <MrBluze> what is the formatting doing to your stories?
[05:17:34] <MrBluze> ok
[05:17:12] <MrBluze> thanks martyb :) i will note that
[05:16:59] <martyb> MrBluze: BTW, I have a QA background and know my way around HTML and CSS a bit; if you need a quick check on something, let me know.
[05:16:56] <MrBluze> and also how much text u want stuffed into a box, and stuff like paragraph indents, stuff like that
[05:16:50] <LaminatorX> Right now, the story submissions get spit out with things in paleo-slashdot style, which we then have to undo.
[05:16:07] <MrBluze> and then styles for blockquote, and code
[05:16:05] <martyb> MrBluze: so, thanks, but no thanks.... I think my time and skills could be better used, elsewhere on teh site.
[05:15:53] <MrBluze> fonts
[05:15:52] <MrBluze> what we probably need to decide on is ..
[05:15:46] <MrBluze> ok LaminatorX
[05:15:43] <MrBluze> you're more than welcome martyb
[05:15:35] <MrBluze> yes
[05:15:34] <martyb> MrBluze: I appreciate the invite; not my bailiwick, but I seem to have a knack of sticking my nose into things once in awhile.
[05:15:30] <LaminatorX> I don't have a ton of time just now, but we can get the ball rolling.
[05:15:08] <MrBluze> welcome :)
[05:15:03] <MrBluze> 1. content is everything, we are here to sell your content
[05:14:53] <LaminatorX> Hey.
[05:14:40] <MrBluze> hi LaminatorX
[05:14:38] <MrBluze> martyb: u wanna be part of style? just out of interest
[05:14:36] -!- LaminatorX [LaminatorX!~Laminator@Soylent/Staff/Editor/LaminatorX] has joined #style
[05:14:01] <martyb> FrogBlast: I dunno... I could always identify with charlie brown
[05:13:54] <MrBluze> reminds me of southpark
[05:13:50] <MrBluze> lmao
[05:13:49] <MrBluze> salted nuts
[05:13:43] <MrBluze> marsbars are peanut free.. says on the label lol
[05:13:42] <FrogBlast> It's as bad as it sounds.
[05:13:39] <FrogBlast> I had a bad experience with something called a Salted Nut Roll.
[05:13:31] <FrogBlast> I could never stomach anything with peanuts.
[05:13:28] <MrBluze> oh, the staff thing is always madness
[05:13:18] <MrBluze> man i'd kill for a mars bar right now, but im on a diet
[05:13:17] <FrogBlast> I'm giving it a shot, while trying to keep up with the madness in #staff
[05:12:59] <MrBluze> waddayafink?
[05:11:31] * MrBluze is thinking to copy nearlty line for line the shadow of that wrapper
[05:09:43] <MrBluze> okay
[05:09:14] <MrBluze> with faded fill
[05:09:14] <MrBluze> using shaded polygons
[05:09:13] <FrogBlast> Changing the color of that layer will change the color of the bar
[05:09:03] <FrogBlast> There's a layer named "Wrapper + color copy"
[05:09:02] <MrBluze> .. can always lighten/darken/apply curves on it whenever u want
[05:08:55] <MrBluze> then colorize it later
[05:08:55] <MrBluze> it becomes easy to work out the highlights
[05:08:28] <MrBluze> but if u make the bar, say, a darkish grey
[05:08:14] <MrBluze> u dont have to go backwards on your work
[05:07:53] <MrBluze> i think i'll be able to dissect it
[05:07:40] <MrBluze> i see..
[05:07:05] <FrogBlast> That's got pizazz... honestly, I've learned a lot in the last month, and I think adding some better highlights and maybe a little shading across it is a good idea.
[05:06:05] <FrogBlast> Illustrator seemed to find layers in it.
[05:05:57] <FrogBlast> Try this bad boy out: http://personalpreferences.info
[05:05:48] <MrBluze> what do u think?
[05:04:45] <MrBluze> it's a shiny wrapper overlay onto a mars logo
[05:04:23] <MrBluze> that one is also actually hand drawn
[05:03:58] <MrBluze> http://imgur.com
[05:02:26] <MrBluze> lemme try again
[05:02:19] <FrogBlast> That imgur link be broke
[05:02:00] <MrBluze> i mean the shadow/highlights
[05:01:26] <MrBluze> if we copied that and put Soylent on it

[05:00:07] <MrBluze> actualyl best example i found is .. hmm lemme get it to imgur
[04:59:12] <MrBluze> for example, see the specular highlights that go across the text in that image
[04:58:35] <MrBluze> https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com
[04:57:48] <FrogBlast> I'll take a look.
[04:57:41] <FrogBlast> I think there might be an export option I've been overlooking that preserves layers...
[04:57:07] <MrBluze> re: the logo, i dont use illustrator, i use inkscape and when i imported it, it was without layers but .. what i was intending on doing is taking the logo image, maybe making the wrapper black (for starters) and making it shiny, copying the shades and highlights of a web image, eg: the marsbar one
[04:55:44] <MrBluze> hi FrogBlast
[04:55:01] -!- FrogBlast [FrogBlast!~FrogBlast@Soylent/Staff/Style/FrogBlast] has joined #style

[04:48:11] -!- FrogBlast has quit [Quit: Leaving...]
[04:43:28] <MrBluze> i wonder if i can import that svg into inkscape
[04:43:20] <MrBluze> ive done some of that myself here an there
[04:43:07] <MrBluze> ok so there are tutorials online on how to make shiny gooey icons and stuff, how to create gloss effects and whatever in svg
[04:42:43] <MrBluze> true
[04:42:40] <MrBluze> oh yeah
[04:42:32] <MrBluze> FrogBlast: ?
[04:42:29] <MrBluze> .. what kinda examples?
[04:42:27] <FrogBlast> So on national becaon day we could have bacon coming out of the wrapper, or something.
[04:42:16] <MrBluze> lol
[04:42:13] <FrogBlast> In the good old days, Barrabas said he thought some Google-Doodle typed icons would be a fun idea.
[04:41:55] * martyb notes that's not kosher.
[04:41:23] <MrBluze> bacon we could tie in.. actually
[04:41:14] <MrBluze> I could try to improve that logo though, and see what u think?
[04:40:42] <MrBluze> like the coca cola device etc
[04:40:42] <FrogBlast> Apple*
[04:40:39] <FrogBlast> SVG, yeah... which everyone Appl apparently mangles...
[04:40:38] <MrBluze> and for our logos we did spoofs of exiting logos
[04:40:29] <MrBluze> when I was in medical school we did medical revues
[04:39:47] <xlefay> Just remember, we need bacon.
[04:39:31] <MrBluze> is it svg?
[04:39:14] <MrBluze> inspired stuff actually
[04:39:11] <MrBluze> oh it's good
[04:38:57] <FrogBlast> Illustrator, but it's the fanciest thing I've tried in quite a while
[04:38:50] <MrBluze> why?
[04:38:16] <martyb> FrogBlast: won't that make it hard to create a site icon?
[04:37:59] <MrBluze> what did u draw it in ??
[04:37:52] <martyb> FrogBlast: okay, thanks for that.
[04:37:46] <FrogBlast> MrBluze: I was going for super-realistic :'(
[04:37:14] <FrogBlast> It was the primary foodstuff, or was about to be.
[04:37:13] <MrBluze> dont mind, dont care
[04:37:00] <xlefay> MrBluze: Soylent/Staff/Style/$account ?
[04:36:59] <FrogBlast> Yeah
[04:36:53] <martyb> Did people *eat* soylent green? never read the book or saw the movvie.
[04:36:52] <xlefay> I don't mind giving feedback, suggestions and "expert" advise if you like
[04:36:15] <MrBluze> until ppl come forward again
[04:36:09] <MrBluze> reduced to me and frogblast
[04:36:02] <MrBluze> http://www.pressinformation.be
[04:36:01] <xlefay> and what cloak do you want for stylers?
[04:35:51] <xlefay> MrBluze: can I get a list of all style members.. it's getting confusing to keep track
[04:35:42] <martyb> Soylent News is <made up of> people.
[04:35:34] <MrBluze> what i'd like is your idea, FrogBlast, and then made into a super-realistic wrapper
[04:35:24] <martyb> If we do this right. we might even get some kind of koan out of it
[04:35:14] <MrBluze> ok so the mars wrapper which is a studio photo
[04:34:56] <martyb> MrBluze: ur welcome!
[04:34:19] <xlefay> FrogBlast: PM pretty please?
[04:34:19] <FrogBlast> For anyone wondering about the "white wrapper and barcode" - http://personalpreferences.info
[04:34:18] <MrBluze> thanks martyb
[04:34:17] <MrBluze> but the mars bar image i linked
[04:34:10] <martyb> just trying to be polite and not tie up their communications
[04:33:50] <martyb> hi
[04:33:45] <MrBluze> hi martyb
[04:33:37] -!- martyb [martyb!~a6b5030d@Soylent/Volunteer/martyb] has joined #style
[04:33:26] <MrBluze> we should go with that
[04:33:23] <MrBluze> yes that is good
[04:33:20] <xlefay> Think Landon has the log in data
[04:33:03] <FrogBlast> The white wrapper and barcode I'd been thinking about for a while, to vaguely symbolize the corporate-style wrapper that Soylent is bursting out of to do its own awesome thing.
[04:33:01] <xlefay> but... only via Bender...
[04:32:44] <xlefay> I do
[04:32:34] <MrBluze> [14:31] <MrBluze> oh, no idea
[04:32:32] <MrBluze> <FrogBlast> Oh, you just reminded me... who actually has access to the Twitter and Facebook stuff? We've got style just laying around, waiting to be dragged and dropped into place, at least for Twitter.

[04:30:13] <MrBluze> http://img2.findthebest.com
[04:29:52] <MrBluze> or .. hmm eg:
[04:29:45] <MrBluze> we should study how a real life, perfectly made nutrition bar looks like
[04:28:59] <MrBluze> ok hear me out, it might not be so dumb:
[04:28:51] <MrBluze> hmm... i am just full of ideas ..
[04:28:30] <MrBluze> it is
[04:28:24] <FrogBlast> Although I tried to make it shiny and slick
[04:28:21] <MrBluze> it's very clever
[04:28:17] <MrBluze> yes
[04:28:03] <FrogBlast> My intent was something like breakfast bar... not candy, but also not "extra" ntrition for a workout... just essential sustenance, like Soylent from the movie was meant to be.
[04:26:33] <MrBluze> we should make it very shiny and slick
[04:26:33] <MrBluze> i think if we go with the idea of the candy bar, which is a good idea
[04:26:13] <MrBluze> what do u think??
[04:24:59] <MrBluze> candybar vs. nutrition bar
[04:24:38] <MrBluze> hmm
[04:24:34] <MrBluze> [14:23] <MrBluze> and inside is newsprint
[04:24:32] <MrBluze> <MrBluze> it could be a candy bar, torn open
[04:24:28] <MrBluze> u are ons taff afaik
[04:24:25] <MrBluze> u need to ident into your nick
[04:23:02] <MrBluze> i been thinking about it
[04:22:55] <MrBluze> but in #staff
[04:22:06] <MrBluze> hey FrogBlast.. i just am talking about the logo
[04:21:53] <FrogBlast> I'm around
