Re: Thought it would come yesterday
At the end of raspberry pi's fedora blog post I read
We hope the Raspberry Pis from the first batch will be out of testing by the end of Thursday, and on their way to freight.
I assumed that that meant that they would have them in the UK and were going to ship them off after testing, unless there were issues with the pi's

Ever hear the expression "A watched pot never boils" ??
And some folks need to stop being fanboys and see the forest behind the trees.

so true, but as a counter argument The ignored pot boils dry

Re: Thought it would come yesterday
This doesn't really fit the analogy but there are so many people watching this pot that it will go from boiling to dry almost immediately.

Re: Thought it would come yesterday
more reason to watch the pot
Re: Thought it would come yesterday
"A watch pot never boils" proof that grandmothers everywhere knew about Quantum Physics for *years*
And yes, the boards were supposed to get done with being tested today today (key word, of course, being "supposed" which is not any where near "are" or "will") but even in the event that they finished being tested, were all packaged *and* miraculously made it to the shippers, I've never heard of a shipping company that delivers from China to the UK on the same day, especially when it would have already been late in the evening by the time they got them all packaged up!

Re: Thought it would come yesterday
My guess is that the mailing list will get an e-mail once the bulk shipment has a definite arrival date/time.
Then, once it actually reaches the fulfilment warehouse (or is due to), the shop will go live.
That's just my guess of course, but an educated one.

This is true as well, I once burned the teflon off the bottom of a pot this way...
(who knew teflon could burn?)

Re: Thought it would come yesterday
I thought the testing was done in the UK not at the suppler, but in retrospect that makes sense. Anyway my bad for being impatient, as for burning Teflon I was surprised at how low the melting point is (327 °C) considering it is used for cooking.

Nonsense. It boils at roughly 2519 °C, whether you watch it or not, as long as it's made of aluminium, for instance (note to the maintainers of Firefox's spell checker: there's no such thing as "aluminum").
