[9fans] another offtopic link

[andrey mirtchovski]

who's selling those t'shirts? i'd like to know whether my money is going to
a good cause:

	http://www.cafeshops.com/plan9gear/

have they signed the license? paid royalties? would they mind putting this
on t-shirts too:

I don't know, but I'm glad to see that the ``Plan 9 classic thong''
is only US$8.29.  Surely the royalties on that would mint someone a
small fortune.

If nothing else, it'd be a great thing to hang on the Unix room wall.

hey, the text on the page with the glenda images explicitly requests
that you send us (well, them now) a copy of anything you make using
them, for the collection.  and the lab guys didn't set this up because
the prose at the top of the page talks too much about unix and doesn't
know the difference between seamless and seemly. yet this is the
first i've heard of this.

it's weird.

still, the classic thong and baby's bib make a great outfit.

Their IP page is here:

	http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/iprights.aspx

"Our Intellectual Property Rights Agent is Abdul Popal, who may reached by
mail, email, telephone or fax as follows" and so on...

On the other hand the glenda page (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/glenda.html)
states:

	Feel free to use these images to make t-shirts and other paraphernalia,
	but if you do a production run, please send us a sample for our collection.

Now, since I'm a Contributor (or I will be once the new license is out and
I've written anything worth putting in the distribution) I should be
eligible for a small piece of this "sample". If no t-shirts are available I
could make do with a pair of size XL panties, since the thong appears to be
spoken for.

You're taking this too seriously.  There's no problem
with the page or whoever set it up.  The line on the
glenda page is a request, not a demand, and you could
argue that using cafepress.com is not really a production
run anyway -- none of the stuff on that page exists until
you order it.

Then again, maybe you're not.  ☺

we ought to prepare for every possibility! one of these t-shirts (or a thong
even, the horror!) may end up in north korea!

this.

I trust you'll send a picture to the list once you try them on?

Uh huh.  Andrey, a bit of advice: there are some things it's best
not to advertise in public....

Froggie Inferno stuff is still available at http://www.cafeshops.com/chunder/

tho alas the frosted beer mugs are no longer available.

I make no money from these but Mr plan9gear has marked his stuff up.
And stuffed up his plan9 description.

I recommend cafepress.  There stuff is good quality and the turnaround
is surprisingly quick.  And they don't give a shit if you only sell one,
to yourself at that.

Hmm... wondering if Andrey posted the original msg because...
It is his own site??? tee hee :-)

I made a hoodie a while back with Hewlett Packard
iron-on printables. I think that was a year ago...
Coincidentally, I happen to be wearing it right now!

The BBQ apron has possibilities too.

if it was my site there would only be the glenda vs tux image on the
t-shirts :)

I think the thought of Andrey in a thong is something to be treated
seriously, and with great fear.

p.s. oh, yeah, :-)

Oh, yeah. I grew up with influences like the Grateful Dead, etc,
so I don't hesitate to prefix 'dead' infront of things. For those
that don't know, the skull is the traditional 'steal your face'
symbol from the old GD tours and the Steal your Face LP. For
those of us that actually went to shows and toured with family
and extended family, it holds much more special symbolism.
