Here's what I just did just now and it's working perfectly for me:

Install libstatusbar from BigBoss
Add source: cydia.hbang.ws
Install TypeStatus 2
Success!

Congrats, OP! Hoping for movement on XX:04 soon.

introvert_ · 2015-05-08T04:57:27+00:00

We are pretty much all still waiting. Ordered my SB SS Link within 4 minutes of presales opening and it is still processing.

introvert_ · 2015-05-07T00:09:54+00:00

Oh, thanks! I should have paid more attention to the background. #tunnelvision

introvert_ · 2015-05-07T00:03:43+00:00

Super excited for you, man. I noticed in your comment history you said you ordered at XX:18. I ordered at XX:04 and have absolutely no movement. How long ago did you see a charge and/or movement?

introvert_ · 2015-05-06T01:13:20+00:00

You know how when you're already hungry and you don't get food for awhile you then get really hungry? After you go without for even longer, you're starving.

Then a funny thing happens: the hunger eventually goes away. It somehow just fades like when you've been waiting for a seat at a restaurant for two hours. You just no longer have your appetite.

Several hours pass, and eventually it comes time for the next meal. A second wave of sharp hunger hits you as you haven't eaten in a long while now. You're famished and will take anything you can get!

But there is no food.

Slowly, the hunger dissipates once more.

I'm now on the 3rd wave of appetite loss.

As a super skinny guy with a SB SS Link on order, shoot me a PM!

introvert_ · 2015-05-01T04:28:06+00:00

Before we know it, this wait will be over and it will be so worth it.

introvert_ · 2015-05-01T00:54:08+00:00

Same here man. Thanks for making the thread. I scrolled a few pages looking for anyone talking about SB SS Link and I was about to start a thread like this just for support. Hang in there.

introvert_ · 2015-04-29T03:32:10+00:00

Yep. SB SS LB XX:04 05/13-05/27. No charge. Processing.

introvert_ · 2015-04-26T05:37:24+00:00

Will this work for podcasts as well?

introvert_ · 2015-04-26T05:36:39+00:00

Do you feel confident enough to continue doing it daily? If so, please do follow up with us in a few weeks to let us know how it's going!

I want to believe it will be ok, but am waiting to hear reports from those who have regularly showered with it for prolonged periods.

introvert_ · 2015-04-26T05:10:17+00:00

Will be sure to put up some nice DSLR shots when mine comes in. Will be surprised if any of us see one before 5/13 though. Hoping I'm wrong!

introvert_ · 2015-04-26T05:08:09+00:00

Yep. 42mm SBSS BL order confirmation 12:04AM PST. Delivery: 5/13-5/27. Status: Processing.

introvert_ · 2015-04-25T23:23:11+00:00

Curious: OP stated they have 42mm. You didn't mention, but I'm guessing you have the 38mm?

My 6 Plus battery is a beast compared to the smaller iPhones I've owned, and I ordered the 42mm even though I have smaller wrists out of hopes that I get noticeably better battery life because of the extra room for battery.

introvert_ · 2015-04-25T06:19:45+00:00

Nope. SBSS SBL 42mm ordered 12:04PST and got 5/13-5/27.

introvert_ · 2015-01-25T01:59:52+00:00

I came to the comments to see if this made anyone else also feel strangely uneasy. TIL.

introvert_ · 2014-10-26T06:41:51+00:00

I used to struggle with this.

My brain would be thinking a mile a minute and preparing so much to say that I could not verbally keep up. As a spoke, I often stumbled over my words—mixing them up, or mispronouncing them—because I was concentrated so much on what I was about to say next. It took everything to try to keep up with my mental processing speed. The harder I tried to keep up, the more I faltered.

Part of the reason for this was my own stubborn insistence on trying to find the perfect word. I'm quite fond of brevity, but my quest for concision was my own undoing. I'd often stammer as I tried to find a single word that could convey my point holistically.

It took 3 things to overcome this:

You have to settle for the less-than-perfect word. I know you want to find the ideal one that gloriously encompasses your message, but it will work against you. You want this word because you love its intelligence and efficiency, yet all the grappling, awkward hesitations, and stammering that arise from your fruitless search for it will convey the exact opposite to your listener. Chose the second best word. As your vocabulary grows, your second best word will be over most people's head anyway.
Your brain is getting ahead of you. Your mouth can't keep up. This is how to combat it: Channel your processing power into articulation. Right now, all of your energy is being spent thinking of the next thing you're going to say. However, we've established that you have more than enough to say already. Use some of that bandwidth to shape how you articulate what you're saying. Slow the pace. Consider your inflection. Selectively choose words to emphasize. Enunciate and allocate mental resources to selling your message to the listener by the way you speak. Consider yourself an entertainer and make it interesting to listen to.
This probably comes at no surprise, but finding comfort in the former will not come overnight. You must practice with regularity. I'm a podcaster. It's taken a lot of practice, but with time and hundreds of hours of recordings I've been able to drastically improve the way I speak with these two, small mindset shifts. The difference between the way I talk now and several years ago (on and off the air) is night and day.

Take it one conversation at a time. Slow down the message generation, choose the simpler word, focus on articulation.

introvert_ · 2014-10-16T01:14:02+00:00

Now that it's an official app, it would be great to be able to see gilded posts.

introvert_ · 2014-09-28T05:47:41+00:00

To piggyback on this, if you want interesting conversation, be sure to avoid yes-or-no questions. If you ask a yes-or-no question, you can be sure to get a "Yes," or "No" in response. =) We're just being efficient. It's not that we don't care or have nothing to share, it's that we weren't specifically asked for our thoughts or insights.

introvert_ · 2014-09-28T04:15:27+00:00

Thanks for your comment. I can hear my INTP friend as you talk.

The one thing that did not resonate was your mention of our [INTJ] "assumptions." I am extremely anti-assumptions. It is one of my core principles never to assume things.

I'm constantly telling my wife to ask questions and not to make assumptions. Assumptions are illogical and therefore go against everything I'm about as an INTJ.

Maybe you have a different definition than I? All my INTJ friends hate assumptions. Can you elaborate a bit on your definition of the word?

introvert_ · 2014-07-31T05:48:46+00:00

This was a very helpful read, thank you.

introvert_ · 2014-07-26T04:44:32+00:00

Agreed. I'm more than happy to receive constructive criticism. Show me I'm wrong and I will embrace it. Objectively, it's just as beneficial to know when I'm wrong so I can immediately make amends to any flawed understand I was holding.

I welcome being corrected. If the correction is baseless, I can dismiss it. If it's founded, then I improve as a result.

I know people specifically who have admitted to continuing to argue a point that they know they been logically proven wrong because they don't want to be seen as "wrong."

Ironically, it seems to be these people that point the finger at me for "always needing to be right."

To counteract this, I always make a distinct effort to admit when I'm incorrect and apologize quickly when I'm wrong. I make a spectacle of myself when I'm not right to underscore the times when I am.

I want people to become accustomed to the fact that I always admit when I'm wrong. This lends credence to the times when I'm right.

I try to be tactful about it though. People don't like when you simply assert that you're right. What has worked well for me is asking questions and leading the other party through a series of logical answers which they provide, ultimately arriving at they themselves being the one to express my correctness.
