I've been doing this since Dec 26 2009 (which is a year xD).
I still haven't got no shiny yet.
I hatched over 300 eggs!
Any tips?

Get lucky. And really, over 300 isn't good enough :/ Your chances are still 1/2048. Theoretically you've got up to about 1700 more hatches to go through before you will get a shiny.

There honestly isn't much you can do about increasing your chances any more than using the Masuda method. Just get lucky. If you believe in a god, pray to it before the egg hatches. That's about all you can do >_>

8653/1 is 8653. You meant 1/8653 and that's not even right. It's 1/8192, or 1 over 2 to the 13th power. Just stick to 1/8000 if you don't need to get technical or don't wanna remember the number. And this constant applies to both hatching and encountering one. Also, the Masuda method increases this number to 1/2048. At least know what you're talking about before trying to help.

1. 8653/1 is 8653%.
2. The normal chances are 1/8192.
3. Through the Masuda Method, you have a 1/2000 chance.
4. The chance is the same for all forms of enounctering Pokemon. Unless you do stuff, such as Poke Radar, Masuda Method, RNG Manuplation.

To the thread creator: Are you using an English Pokemon a Pokemon of another language, such as a Japanese or French one?

Also, since the 26th is not long, at all. In fact, it's rather short, even for this way. Every egg has a 1/2000 chance, that doesn't mean after 2000 eggs you will get a shiny. Be patient. :/

And 300 eggs? Only? Yeah, most people don't even get shiny eggs until around 900-3000.
