I went to http://build.opensuse.org/ site to see this:

Then it occurred to me – it would be much better if we had some funny image on this page to cheer user up, something like twitter failwhale or the one Jimmac made for SUSE Studio. I started Inkscape and after a couple of minutes I created this one:

I know it is far from perfect (I’m no artist), but feel free to grab the original SVG and create a better one! We’ll include it in the 2.0 release of Build Service which will be using Bento theme by Robert. :-)

What a surprise I had today when I saw a tram decorated in a very similar fashion. The weird thing is, that both bus 183 and tram 8 have their stops near our Prague offices. There is definitely something fishy going on! :-D

I was even able to find a video on Youtube, so you know it is not shopped^Wgimped. :-)

It was a postcard from my dear friends from Brno (so called #fedora-cs mafia :-D ) depicting a 3D image of a geeko on sand. Luckily I was able to find two shops (here and here) which offer this jewel. The latter one also had the 3D picture so I can share this viewing pleasure with you (click on it to animate):

It looks even better in real-life! :-)

While they are usually in Prague Public Transit’s traditional colors – red and white, today this one came to bus stop:

Zoo Bus

I was really happy that I could go to SUSE offices on Geeko Bus. It really made my day! :-)
