Building a better bird
Friday, Oct 19. 2007 – Category: Songbird
Yay, I had my first putback^Wcommit to the Songbird source yesterday. Okay, granted, it was pretty trivial - but it gave me the opportunity to continue the tradition of fun commit messages.
The more important thing I suppose is that exposing addBookmarkAt() let me build a Songbird extension to address 5144. Seems like people miss Songbird coming with a seeded list of MP3 blogs. We’ve moved this out of the player and into the Media Web Directory in the Birdhouse page that’s part of Songbird.
Turns out people don’t want to look for stuff. They just want it there for them. Go figure.
Anyway, I put together the Birdhouse Bookclub extension, more as an exercise to familiarise myself with some of the extensions APIs. It’s a pretty cheesy add-on, in that all it does is create a menu option in the “Tools” menu to seed a “Music Blogs” bookmark folder with bookmarks from the Birdhouse, but hey… it’s something I guess.
