hey krew!

does anyone know where the old content from pogos website got to? i had a look on the ftp thing but couldn't find it. I'm especially looking for all the cia nights pdfs etc..

(please don't tell me this stuff got deleted)

ultra cheers

chris

nah, S-dawg, you have clearly been duped, that picture is just some cheap photoshop job.. whilst browzing though.. i did find this gem.. can you spot which one is not J-dawg?????

chris

thats not what i heard...

chris

i will add a lot of emoticons to that mock-up.

you are correct, it will make it much better.

i wonder what jane will think?

chris

"ultra rough mock-up"

the buttons dont do anything, they are merely illustrative. something that jakob does not understand, not having much in the way of illustration, pictures or diagrams on his site.

chris

i always liked that mural, so something like this ultra rough mock-up:

http://xforest.tumblr.com/

chris

frankly, he doesnt know if he is coming or going!

chris

due to popular demand i have changed it.. but i do think its bullshit. the article milk cites: http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990530.html is from 1999, when almost no-one knew how to use the internet, and browser 'tabs' did not really exist in a nice way. these kind of links would actually open a new...

chris

whoa!

the patented jane/shannon attack approach!

well unless someone steps in, in defence of the "new page", i'll switch it soonish...

chris

interesting points. I think its pretty standard that links that leave a site open in a new page. Most other sites do this (guardian, ). The funny thing is that these external sites are still forest, so there is an argument to be had there... I personally prefer new windows to open in this type of ci...

chris

yo visual crew! as you may have noticed, forest has a different website right now, with some nice calendar type stuff etc. it would be pretty good i think if you were to add your gallery opening events to the events calendar, that way they will appear on the website, and probably on all other mail o...

chris

chris

please list the films. dont live in fear!

Chris

chris

you on that fancy thing. is it all shiney? i always found that the chrome would peel away, and leave a bitter aftertaste...

chris

I still can't edit. and see no need for a time delay...

chris

anyone who has other browsers, please see if this looks ok: http://xforest.tumblr.com/tagged/events forget about the sidebar, its just the format of the text in the events listing i'm interested in.. its ripping the content out of the google calendars, reformatting, and changing the link text to act...

chris · Re: Web meet-o-rama Fri 19 Mar 2010 bueno.

bueno.

chris

it would be great if the programme and events information told us what film is going to be screened. That way people would know in advance if they wanted to come and see it. ie. instead of: Monday 29th March 9pm Film Night it would be: Monday 29th March 9pm Film Night : Star Wars : a documentary abo...

chris

i have fixed this colour issue, (i think), let me know if its gone wrong in some weird or (un)interesting way.

cheers.

chris · Re: Web meet-o-rama Fri 19 Mar 2010 nice idea!

nice idea!

chris

nice one dudes.!

that was a bit like a battle at the ok coral and swithin just out drew you martin!

will do soon :_

x x x

chris

you got the code for that?
it'll save me some time messing about if you know it...

cheers doods x x x

chris

yknow what? i kinda think do it from the basement and itll just be fine yknow, we'll get away with it... as for noise, that will only be an issue in the hall, and we can build it so that the hall bit can be switched off if needed, while the rest can keep running..

Chris xx

chris

he! neil: yeah i think your browser is caching an old version of the layout or something. cos at one point i had them different colours (cos my laptop colour is not too good and i didnt notice..)and the size of the top image was a bit out, like you've got it... if you look at the page source code yo...

chris

is there a high rez version?

chris

looks good, but when and how long?

cool.

chris

the flat area to the right half way up the stairs (above the fire doors) would allow for a large section of crazy bits.

Chris xx

chris

on a tedius note. the firebrigaed won't be up for it going through a hole anywhere, as those doors on the ground floor connect two fire exclusion zones, so holes are not allowed...

but it could go above peoples heads in the hall?

chris

hey peoples! its the next xforest planning meeting this monday (22nd), in the cafe, come along if you would like to shoot some ideas around!.. we got a lot of great stuff already. but we always want more, because we are greedy. if you cant make this meeting, dont worry, there will be plently more. C...

chris

sounds essential!!

chris

awesome.

i have also arranged to have an x-ray scanner delivered in time for the meeting. And we will need someone to frisk everyone who comes in for concealed weapons.

cheers!

chris

er? could be a good idea? is he an experienced facilitator?

understanding of forest may be more important than knowledge of websites, to be facilitator for this.

chris

splendid idea!

furthermore, i suggest scout or ryan as facilitators, if either are available...

chris

cool,

To help make this meeting run smoothly, i think we're going to need a facilitator, and an agenda.

chris

some twat uses it to change what they've said half-way through a debate to make another look bad. i'd like to think that wouldn't happen, but you do get all sorts on the BB.. yeah, thats a pretty low thing to do, (although normally the post will say it has been edited, so that doesnt really work). ...

chris

they still cost plenty, and it was special flame retardant fabric. The problem was they were measured wrong. But, if we still have the material it can easily be reused through the power of sewing, and only a small amount of new fabric need be sourced!! hurray! recycling! we can turn our old curtains...

chris

yeah, at different times different people have done em! the point was to make something amazing looking, that had all the info.. we'd stick em in a pile by the door, and people would take them and put them up in their flats and in other cool places. trick is, to make them amazing looking, that way p...

chris

why don't we have them?

A poster listing all the events, that would be flavoursome!

chris

hmm, we spent £300? £400? on them before and they were shit? and ripped up?

i say we tin foil, costs about £30, works great.

chris

jane put up the doodle.. and that honey has never been awake as early as that... thats why baby, thats why!!!

chris

sounds great.

chris

cool, but what happened to the ones we bought 2 years ago? does anyone know???

chris

i did not close the thread. i dont know how. i wanted it left open.

chris

meeting time:

chris

read my post.

chris

hey mike, it seems you keep missing the point of what i write, perhaps i am not explaining myself very clearly? The point is to avoid compromise in design, not to exclude people. if i want to do a design, i can chose to work with anyone i like who also wants to work with me. So can you, and so can a...

chris

i agree with jane. additionally i had intended to post this thread, within which i discuss some web considerations, that were unable to be implemented at the time due to a lack of technical knowledge. http://www.theforest.org.uk/bb/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=5349&start=0&hilit=website this is an old desig...

chris

And also repeating: there is little point in producing a design until you know what you're designing. with all due respect, i think i have a pretty good idea. Here are my suggestions; please refine and ponder your own for Saturday: also as far as i am aware we are yet to agree the day and time of t...

chris

incorrect. read my post. my original designs for the drupal site are here: http://www.theforest.org.uk/bb/download/file.php?id=594 looks a bit similar doesnt it? and as for your comment: That's not very Forest, is it? is also incorrect, when magdas doing her mural do you tell her to use a bigger pai...
