I would take 212 again in a hot second. I miss ML so much sometimes.

Glad you're ok.

I've had big sideburns for a long time, actually, but they were less noticeable when I had long hair. But they'll never achieve the stature of Jeff's!

The glasses look good with the sideburns that you stole from me. Too bad I didn't get to see them in person.

Buy a Volvo to go with your boxy glasses.

Yum.

Sorry Jeff, I didn't make it. Next time, I will know to take you up on New Year's activities and not get in a car accident.

They stick a lulu one there for you, too. Whenever I suggest something like this on the forums, they claim that they're working on it and plan to offer more options, so maybe they will, eventually.

That's too bad. It would be fun to make up a little publishing-house logo that sits on the bottom of the spine.

The front and back covers are uploaded separately. You can set the color for the spine, and text to appear on it (in either "Serif" or "Sans Serif" (looks like Arial). With my title I had a gradient on each cover to the spine cover, which I think looks pretty good.

You should take a look at my copy and my latex settings if you're interested in using lulu.
 
1197. jcreed (curry.wv.cc.cmu.edu) – 09 Jan 2004 13:49:41 Name of Author By Title of Book Book ]
Also, when you design your cover, does the width of the image depend on the thickness of the book? Otherwise, what goes on the spine of the book?
 
1196. Tom 7 (gs82.sp.cs.cmu.edu) – 09 Jan 2004 12:57:31 Name of Author By Title of Book Book ]
No, it was just a screw up, but apparently several people had the same problem around the same time. Their support is actually really nice; they refunded me my money *and* sent a free replacement.

One thing to watch, though, is that they stick a mandatory logo in the bottom center of your back cover, and it's black on white.

Was there anything you changed to make it better for the next print, or was it just a fuck-up on their end? Just wandering if there's anything to watch out for if I submit stuff to them at a future date.

Wow, with only 7 pieces you can form over 6000 combinations? How is that even possible in our universe?!

At least Wolf's has an interesting concept which builds upon FVWM's theme. FVWM has no canonical form though it can be configured into countless states, much like tangrams. But all of these logos accurately represent the underlying idea of FVWM, namely that no matter how you set it up, it still looks like ass.

I've just been creeping around your site(s) and have had a bit of a giggle.

Thought I could return the giggle-favour?...

Personal favourite is a toss-up between:

"Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. If the horses appear skittish, the motorist must take his car apart, piece by piece, and hide it under the nearest bushes" (Now there's a car incident to bitch about!)

or...

"It is illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors"
