Random Ubuntu Advocacy - Elvish Version

So, Andy Loughran, AKA EƤrendur of Dorthonion, has been busy translating these images into Elvish. Not wanting to upset our pointy eared friends, or the Elvish Linguistic Fellowship [I hear the E.L.F are BIG on Ubuntu!], I've uploaded Andy's translations and made them available from my file server. Thank you Andy, I think!?

GIMP and Ubuntu image translated into Elvish. Rhythmbox and Ubuntu image translated into Elvish. Pidgin and Ubuntu image translated into Elvish.

The complete Elvish set can be viewed on this demo page. You can help spread the word of Ubuntu to the oldest of all common races by copying and pasting the code below into your HTML/blog template:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://crunchbang.net/advocacy/ev/ubuntu_199_164.js">
</script>
<noscript>
<a href="http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu" title="Kaer Ubuntu!">
<img src="http://crunchbang.net/advocacy/ev/199_164_ubuntu.png" alt="Kaer Ubuntu."></a>
</noscript>

Can of worms anyone?

    I know of three letters that are highly appropriate in this case ;)

    I really wanted to contribute and didn't realise the French Language ones had not yet been done (it's the only other language I can speak other than English) - therefore my best contribution was a little Elvish.

    I'll stick the banner up on my site - any way of seeing how many click-throughs the Elvish ones generate?

    @Andy: No, sorry I've no way of tracking click-throughs at the moment. I could possibly set something up? I'll look into it.

    Is it also possible to have a random language pop up - i.e. a repo of all the images..? Sorry if I keep asking and not giving..

    @Andy: That should be possible, good idea :) I'll look into it. Thanks.
