Bear's Log

I've been doing a slow boil over the Google Group's widget complete inability to get it's unread count to reflect any form of reality. I can sit on a group summary page for minutes, read each message and then go back to my summary page and it will have the number completely wrong - heck sometimes I think it just guesses what number it should be!

So, while sitting here waiting for a slow, slow, SLOW! darcs push command to finish (it's been almost 45 minutes) I started thinking that I should check to see if Google Groups has any feed love happening... Sure enough, tucked down at the foot of the page is that little lovely orange XML button - wooo!

So, ok, you would think I would have figured this out much earlier - but it's been awful convenient to just click on one of the widget links and go to the group page that way.

Heck, the folks at Google are serious smart so you would think they could get unread counts right! Wouldn't Ya?
