@yonbeastie thanks, i'd completely forgotten about fireworks. i remembered our PNG convo months ago, forgot the solution. we're on it! |
@jstein JPEG can't do that transparent fade though :/ |
@jstein yeah - that's what we're looking at here, ~1600x600 with a fade out to transparent |
@jstein hm... i'm concerned that there too many necessary colors to do palette reduction and keep it looking sharp - will try, though |
Dear Designers/graphics nerds: what's your preferred method for reducing .PNG file sizes to something reasonable? |
@woscholar they had one of those a few Woot-Offs ago, the little missiles shot about 15 feet - perfect for intercubicle warfare |
@baconsalt mistletoe + bacon lip balm kissing = christmas season 2008, thanks to @wootblabber and BaconSalt |
@jstein discovering that is part of the Constructivist approach to Twitter knowledge creation. Oops, just threw up a little. |
@clintschaff oddly enough, Good Magazine forgot to put the 4th of July on its calendar of events - but www.350.org is there. #tcot |
@jstein i guess i'm old-fashioned. some dolt writes a baseless academic paper and it erases about a trillion years of combined social wisdom |
@jstein we can't be trusted - not one bit. the literate ones, like us, are even more dangerous. |
@billkunz yeah - a solution with multiple options can get a bit complex, but is appropriate down the road |
@jonbecker what's the "particular orientation," btw? |
@jstein i appreciate it, but seldom does "n of x" trump "n of ideology" in the education debate - here's hoping! |
@jonbecker no, i'm drawing on 3,000 years of humanity and wisdom - you know, what existed before postmodern weenie-ism and Piaget |
@jonbecker golly gee, it's incredible that i grew up with guns and haven't shot a single person yet. i even watched westerns! lots of them! |
@principled #tcot plus, it's important to have fast-moving channels like twitter alongside statics like e-mail that you can refer back to |
@Principled agreed - it's just straight up effective communication, mixing familiar, easy channels with newer channels |
@Principled @michaelpleahy #tcot it's got to be mass DM or e-mail - something that gets a msg to users without any work on their part |
