You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll even look towards the future and wonder why you’ve lost the taste for seafood.
Congratulations ACSpike on this masterful releasing of songs.

Made for NARMo , Stremenstance is a journey through awesomeness!!!!

The Inkscape logo has been re-aligned

Monday, May 8th, 2006

Nowadays the inkscape logo gets alot of exposure around the world and our beloved app has also greatly matured since the logo was first illustrated.

It’s high-time the logo-design matured to suit the quality of the app itself. So I’ve re-aligned the inkscape logo . Changes are now in svn trunk.
Hopefully without close comparison there is little difference to the casual observer.
So here is the 2-up just incase you don’t notice the change.

You can click the image to download the 2KB SVG file of the new logo.

Participate: Summer of code

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

Straight from the inkscape website:

The Inkscape team has posted a list of ideas for the Google Summer of Code project. If you’re a student and would like to have a summer job working on Inkscape for pay, this is a great opportunity! You can sign up send in your proposal through the Summer of Code site.

I added the idea for implementing external linking and external styles support. This is a wall-breaker for geeks like me and should be a top priority for everyone looking to make me dance on my desk.

Actually this gives me an idea. Recently I bountied up Dom Lachowicz for implementing external styles in RSVG, more people should do this, its not payment .. its like giving a case of nice beer to the mate who helped you move house. Thanks so much Do rsvg 4lyf~!!

So my deal is this: I’ll email a photo of myself dancing on my desk, signed with the inkscape calligraphy pen saying thankyou for implementing xlinking and external CSS maniulation. On top of that, you get the summer of code cash-money and the love and respect of countless SVG lemmings like myself. Pretty sweet yeah ?

just do it !
