In light of the fact that I am now bald, today I uploaded a new hackergotchi to the planet ubuntu bzr tree. Uploading the picture was easy, making the picture was a bit harder. This is my first time using GIMP 2.4.0-rc3 and it seems that the selection tools don’t work the same way that they used to. In the old gimp I was able to make a selection the drag that selection around in order to remove it. It would seem that in the new gimp the only way to remove a selection (That I my girlfriend, could figure out) is to cut (<ctrl>+x) that selection. On the other hand the fuzzy select still works great.
TIP: when using fuzzy select you can use the ctrl key to un-select things that you have selected.
All in all I would say the update was a success. I just wish I had had a larger source image, (The large scale version of my new hackergotchi is a bit jagged around the edges, stupid digital camera being broken).

On a side note it would be fun to make a web page linking all the planet ubuntu faces to there websites / launchpad IDs, any thoughts on this? (Update: it could be just like the gnome one unless we all ready have one?)
Also I have three midterms this week, wish me luck.
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntumembers/ mugshots is a good start.
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntumembers/+mugshots lets try encoding that url..
neat, the gnome one is more pretty but neat. any ideas what the rules on posting the images are?
I could wip up some python, just dont want to be using anyones face image without them saying its ok.
