Oh noes


And your freebie for tonight: a guide to optimising animations on Linux. This started out at a fat 1.2mb and ended up as the sexy beast you see before you.

Best I could do
With the tools I had :/ Anyone run into any good optimising widgets?

is gimp any good at it?
I find it too much of a headfuck on linux or windows so usually run photoshop natively or under wine

It can do some things
However most tutorials on this for Linux seem to have been written when black and white was the state of the art.

Screwing around with the colour depth
has reduced it in size to 128kb, but it's still not fantastic.

220kb is a massive file size for an animation that small and simple
I think you need to rewrite your guide

but choke you with their excessive use of deodorant and/or perfume

rather that than the smell of sweat...
... and smelly farts :)

true story
a mate of mine pulled a fat bird and took her back to his flat student house which he shard with another one of my mates...

me and this other mate and 2 other lads were drinking and could hear the moans and groans from upstairs.... at one point we heard a female voice saying "I'll get on top" to which we also heard the reply "NO U FUCKING WONT!"

needles to say she didn't hang around too long afterwards :)

It's not excessive
Mearly commensurate with their size.

yes agreed...
.. probably same ratio of perfume:skin area but they obviously have more skin...
( hubare originator of "NEAR THE TOP", Sat 2 Sep 2006, 20:31, archived)
