I resync’d the feed, hopefully that helps. But I really think it is a problem with bloglines, I don’t experience this in Google Reader. =/

Yeah, this post has shown up every single day in my Bloglines since you published it. It’s getting kinda annoying.

Wow that is weird. Is this only bloglines? I don’t think this happens in Google Reader.

My Bloglines is suffering the same fate — and it’s also not updating a lot of my feeds lately. Something is up (and I’ve opened a ticket), but they think the problem is on my end. :(

Hrm, that’s weird. I haven’t touched it since I published it.

Why does this post keep showing up in bloglines? Are you updating it everyday?

(no I haven’t saved the article, marked it “Keep New”, etc..)

[...] Phill Ryu filled me in on a little of that MacHeist secret juice and I have to admit, I’m ready to start the “heist”. Mac enthusiasts will hack their way through unique heists which will net them a free shareware application downloads. That’s right, your tech / hack knowhow may award you with one of those shiny shareware apps that you’ve been hesitant to fork over a little cash for. Paul hints at a sample heist including such tasks as hacking a participating Mac software’s site. [...]

Hey jimmy, thanks for stopping by. unfortunately I have no invites for you. Just put your email in on MacHeist and I guess they will systematically invite people.

I’m all for TextMate and Keep It Together (KIT). Maybe Yummy FTP?
You know, with all the press these “events” get I think some freeware app developers should be involved too. No harm in it. :)

What garbage. I mean really, we don’t need to have a virtual heist in order to get software. If you need software you go out and buy it.

I love the way it says “1 million dollars worth of freebies” – I don’t think they would ever have sold any of those garbage dolphin music programs anyway.

I’m also frustrated by the way the Apple category on Digg is being clogged up with this stuff. Yeah, My Dream App was a good idea to begin with which was spoiled by people constantly submitting stories about their own application to Digg. I now bury ANYTHING from these guys (I assume that Austin Sarner guy that needs a haircut is involved in this too) like Disco, MDA or MacHeist as Spam or Lame depending on who submits it.

I’ll say it again. If I need software I will research it myself and buy it myself. I do NOT need someone to turn the software development market into a series of online gameshows to convince me to buy something I do not want or need.

What’s your next trick, Phill? App or No App? Wheel of Applications?
