Обсуждение: Calender
Hey all, well were designing a postgresql calender as one more thing to put on the merchandise page. (coffee mugs are ordered, get yer orders in while they're hot :) ) the image we've chosen is at http://bignose.org/pg/catalogs.gif its from the docs. i'm going to spiff it up and put the elephant behind it. i guess my main question is , "is this complete" or does anything else need to be added to it before it get's printed ?

I personally would like someone to make a much more modern looking diagram, perhaps using xfig which I used for the backend flowchart on the web page. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
hi, the calender is a one page (11x17 inch) calender with an 8x9inch image at the top, bottom is "jan, feb yadayada" i'll be "revamping" this in illustrator to make it look better, right now i just need to know if it is complete. or if you know of a better image to use, please send the url. jeff On Mon, 21 Feb 2000, Bruce Momjian wrote: > > Hey all, > > > > well were designing a postgresql calender as one more thing > > to put on the merchandise page.

Might look better with the elephant in front of it ;). Looks like a lot of spiffing up to do.. How about an Elephant, Penguin and Little Red BSDaemon dancing under a Solaris Sun ;) ? Hehe. Hmm what other logos... Cheerio, Link.
Um , we're trying to push postgres here :) i was thinking the diagram with "spiffier arrrows" and some drop shadows with a "ligntened elephant" behind On Tue, 22 Feb 2000, Lincoln Yeoh wrote: > At 03:28 PM 21-02-2000 -0400, Jeff MacDonald wrote: > > >the image we've chosen is at http://bignose.org/pg/catalogs.gif > >its from the docs. i'm going to spiff it up and put the elephant > >behind it. > > Might look better with the elephant in front of it ;).

You know, you may be better off just choosing a few table like pg_class, pg_attribute, and pg_type, and pg_proc and showing those in a fancy manner. > Um , we're trying to push postgres here :) > > i was thinking the diagram with "spiffier arrrows" > and some drop shadows with a "ligntened elephant" behind > > On Tue, 22 Feb 2000, Lincoln Yeoh wrote: > > > At 03:28 PM 21-02-2000 -0400, Jeff MacDonald wrote: > > > > >the image we've chosen is at http://bignose.org/pg/catalogs.gif > > >its from the docs. i'm going to spiff it up and put the elephant > > >behind it. > > > > Might look better with the elephant in front of it ;).

that's also a good idea.

How about a picture of the Postgres People pushing elephants in various ways ;). Link. p.s. Any sign of the stuffed toy elephant? It's got to be cute tho, e.g. bright big black eyes, big head, cute little trunk, wearing nice little Postgres t-shirt, that kind of thing. And not too expensive....
My wife's mom makes stuffed teddy bears. I've been working on convincing her that software-inspired stuffed toys would be cool (*BSD daemons, and now maybe elephants). The first few will be experimental and probably pricey, assuming I can convince her that it's cool.

people pushing elphants ? i say hell with that, we should just buy 2 elphants, breed them and tatoo "PostgreSQL" on the calfs and sell'em. re: stuffed elephant, supppliers haven't found anything yet, and they said that these would probably be quite pricy. jeff On Wed, 23 Feb 2000, Lincoln Yeoh wrote: > At 11:39 AM 22-02-2000 -0400, Jeff MacDonald wrote: > >Um , we're trying to push postgres here :) > > Yah, but I just couldn't resist.. > > How about a picture of the Postgres People pushing elephants in various > ways ;). > > Link. > > p.s.

Hehe :). We'll call the parents Postmaster and Postmistress. Talk about spawning child processes ;). Come to think of it, the mom should be Postmaster and maybe the dad psql. Well the dad could be Apache as well :). Multiple dads allowed but only a single Madam Postmaster. >re: stuffed elephant, supppliers haven't found anything yet, and they >said that these would probably be quite pricy. Awww. I recently bought myself an Opus Penguin stuffed toy, and it was about RM10 (USD2.50 ). Looked strictly legal too - with all the various copyright labels, plus even warnings to remove tags/clips in case children choke on them. But of course the manufacturing run for Opus will probably be a lot bigger than for a Postgres stuffed elephant. So... :( Maybe I'll just look for a Dumbo stuffed toy, do an ear reduction (both ;) ), and make a mini postgres T-shirt for it. Cheerio, Link.
