So... Dr Jekyll sat down to draw a few small icons. Eleven days and 2,842 commits later, the laboratory is getting rather crowded. And this is still the Dr Jekyll part.

“Just one more icon” is apparently a dangerous thing to say. A row needs inserting. A column needs hiding. Then there are merged cells, borders, filters... and suddenly the spreadsheet tools have become a small population of their own.

The experiment has spread into drawing and image tools, selections, clones, alignment and distribution, colour controls and paths. Then version-control graphs, users and groups, debugging, and Amarok’s filename and music controls. There is always another little corner asking for attention.

Jekyll is rather pleased ehhheheheaahahahahaa... hehehe behold the creation ...

The commit count includes revisions, size variants, naming and cleanup. These creatures need quite a few visits before I let them out of the laboratory 🙂

Then comes the slightly terrifying realisation: I now have hundreds of icons to do for full-colour Oxygen as well. The symbolic work has been kinda writing the instructions for a much bigger horrible experiment.

I think I’ve created a monster.

Well I haven’t created that other monster yet. The full-colour one is still waiting to be brought to life... and it promises to be a far more terrifying creature. Mr Hyde hasn’t even entered the laboratory.

But there is good news! We have more victims... *cough* volunteers helping me now. Mwahahaha! So at least I have some company in the laboratory. I should probably warn them about what is still waiting downstairs 😉

Anyway... just one more icon.
