   Again a bit off topic, but the links in this post are relative and thus make them non-functioning from your RSS feed. I checked the source and the link was indeed “/merchtable” only.

   Shrike, we use relative links since we have a cluster of web nodes and it’s useful for checking content on individual nodes this way. Each page has a baseurl so that the relative paths get resolved fine in a browser.

   What I want to know is what type of RSS reader you’re using. I have no problems looking at our feed in FireFox or Safari. Those browsers assume the domain as the baseurl and all the links work fine.

   please guys dont waste your time with t-shirts. you only have a preview release out. please lock yourself into your offices and work on the program. everyone including me is so excited about songbird, but i dont want to wear a t-shirt of an unfinished product. i’ll buy as many t-shirts as possible, but first of all, i want a kick-ass music player that will allow me to kick media player, itunes and winamp off my harddisk guys. keep up the great work, and dont waste time on those t-shirts

   The source for translation is in the songbird install folder.

   Look inside our chrome/locale folder.

    When we wind up wasting 7 weeks on lawyers, one becomes easily able to allocate days to your artist — who can’t do anything on the app until the work on the next release begins — to make all sorts of art and design samples.

    Including tshirts. And stickers. Hell, he even made a plushie felt doll as a master sample of something we might sell on the site. Because he got bored. But he knows his job well enough to know that none of it would ever be allowed to threaten the application roadmap.

    Besides, what makes you think the programming team would have any ability (let alone any desire) to get “distracted” by the production of tshirts?

    Spending our time answering forum posts and blog comments threatens our schedule far more than “making tshirts” does.

    Should we, then, stop communicating with the public?

    Yes, once we’ve gone through our initial test batch of 100 T-shirts we’ll offer a wider selection of sizes. And hopefully we’ll be well versed in the art of shipping.

    Thanks Shrike - I sent them a comment regarding how they can fix this issue. Should be simple if they have the time to deal with it.

    Trust us that we have more than selling you a T-shirt as the motivation to get a MacOS and Linux version out there

    Now that would be pretty damn cool.

    Hey Shrike - I got an email back from bloglines saying that they’ve forwarded the bug on to their technical team. I hope it gets fixed soon - thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Now that, would look great sitting right next to my desktop (right by my Firefox plush).

    Somebody stole my fucking T-shirt! OK, most likely it was seriously misplaced, but now I need a new one.

    I hope there still are T-shirts of batch#1 vintage. Also Koshi, when are you coming up with new designs?

    i’d like to see you sell t-shirts for much less as a way of marketing (maybe you’re not ready for that yet).
