Getting closer. (Meanwhile, the tracking on Apple’s website still shows nothing at all. Really, what’s the point.)

Yes, I know, you (or at least the half dozen that cares) wish I posted something more interesting than my iMac’s journey, but these days when I’m not reloading the TNT page I’m making scripts. For Gayattitude (now with live chat — again, in hopes that it won’t overload again, third time’s the charm, they say, but the French say “never twice without a third”, meaning everything bad happens three times), for this blog, and for other sites. Trying my best to be done with it all by the time my Mac arrives so I get to be fully focused on nesting in it.

Oh, and I also spent two hours reorganizing my feeds in Bloglines, because all Windows aggregators are utterly, amazingly, unbelievably unusable, and because Bloglines had trouble marking items as read on my most populated categories, so I gather you have to make smaller groups. The problem being that every time you move a feed around the whole list has to be reloaded — all 400+ feeds, and 400+ fucking icons, and all the Javascript around (would you believe that all Bloglines pages are entirely made with document.write, which means they don’t only take time to load, they also make Firefox freeze for thirty seconds every time?). Two hours to reorganize.

I know full well I could have exported an OPML list, made the changes in a local aggregator, and import the new OPML back in. But I’m stubborn that way. (And Windows aggregator disgust me.)

Want to know when I post new content to my blog? It's a simple as registering for free to an RSS aggregator (Feedly, NewsBlur, Inoreader, …) and adding www.garoo.net to your feeds (or www.garoo.net if you want to subscribe to all my topics). We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.

Meuh nan tu nous saoules pas avec ton iMac :) Bientôt là donc. J'aurai quand même dû te dire que le tracker Apple, il faut l'oublier. Il se met à jour quand tu as reçu ton carton :p

Sam, 7 years ago:

Ouin, je ne peux même pas utiliser ce suivi. La page de TNT demande un numéro commençant par 80, qu'il n'y a nulle part sur ma facture. La vérité est ailleurs ?

garoo, 7 years ago:

Chez moi le numéro 80xx est apparu un ou deux jours plus tard sur la page de tracking d'Apple.

Sam, 7 years ago:

Ah, au temps pour moi, je suis juste trop pressé. The MacWatch resumes...

K, 7 years ago:

T'es resté combien de temps en Sent to manufacturing ?

garoo, 7 years ago:

Ben deux jours, apparemment, pourquoi, tu en es où ?

K, 7 years ago:

Ouais mais avec tes horaires décalés à la con, je suis pas sûr qu'on soit soumis à la même ligne de changement de date. :D


Sent to manufacturing. J'ai l'impression qu'il est plus rapide de construire une voiture qu'un iMac. :/

Nothing, 7 years ago:

Moi, j'ai reçu mon PowerMac 2x2,7Ghz assez rapidement.

garoo, 7 years ago:

Pardon ? Tu as gagné au loto ?

K, 7 years ago:

Il a dressé un petit Yougo qui fait les poches des usagers de la ligne 2. Et ca rapporte visiblement...

Nothing, 7 years ago:

Oh non, sinon j'aurais pris un deuxième écran 30".

garoo, 7 years ago:

Ack.


(Si tu as honte de dire en public que tu as cédé au grand capital -- ou à la Porte Dauphine -- tu peux le faire dans ma boîte aux lettres :) )

Je vais le dire ici (c'est le meilleur endroit, non?): je viens de voir la nouvelle interface de GayAttitude. Un mot: somptueux!
Bravo!
