I hate paypal


I've been using my paypal account for about 6 months with no issues,  I never entered my credit card details because I do not want that, I use the money on my account to pay for online stuff only.

3 days ago I entered my account and a nice shiny red message appeared: "your account has been limited"

Under details it says that I entered a wrong credit card and the bank reported that credit card as missing or stolen.

I contact paypal with the horrible webform and all I got was a pre-defined reply with instructions on how to solve the issue, it would be great but on those instructions it says I need to contact my bank for more details...   awesome, I have no idea what bank they are talking exactly as I never never entered any credit card details.

I tried to enter their community but every time I want to create a new topic it ask me to log in, I log in with my account details and it shows me an error page, beautiful.

So now I'm stuck, I can't use the money that I already have on that account, I can enter a new credit card but I can't transfer the money so it doesn't make any sense for me to enter a new credit card.

I can, however, still receive money... of course it benefits them, I assume they gladly  take the money from accounts marked as limited that users just gave up looking for a solution...

Differences


I've noted something strange lately, I used to write a few lines of code and then go test it immediately and if wrong, fix it at the spot.

Now I write large chunks of code and mostly don't care about testing until I have something meaningful to test, dunno if this is a bad or a good thing.

I still don't know squat about code architecture but I'm capable now to see (in my head) how I want X thing to work and how this X thing will be related to Y and Z.

That's gotta be something.  Now, according to this:  http://polygeek.com/2222_flex_how-can-you-tell-if-your-code-architecture-is-any-good

my code currently doesn't pass any of those :P

BTW: http://mattiasa.deviantart.com/  <--- awesome work

New ModSite


So... since now I have more free time to do weird scripts, I decided to give the new modsite a chance.

The old one was a very fun thing to do and I learned a lot from that one but is obviously outdated and not so well coded :P

I've been learning a lot lately, mostly naming and inheritance stuff that I didn't notice/care about before. I still need to learn more about namespacing and the whole try/catch/exception thing.

I want to integrate the site with github, unfortunately, there is no php implementation for their GitHub API v3 (the ones listed there are incomplete or based on frameworks) so I will have to write a very very basic implementation, should be fun to write it.

This is the repo where I will be doing commits and this topic will serve as a place for my rants :P

LOL and adsense goes hand by hand


So, to my surprise, I checked my adsense account a few weeks back and I actually had less money (total) than the last time I checked, I'm going backwards :P

I cannot enter my account right now, dunno if it's just me or what.

To be honest, I'm just waiting until they send me an email saying my account has been canceled (with no explanation of course)  perhaps that day I will take the time to remove the ads, too lazy to do it right now.

I seriously don't know how other people maintain their accounts alive... I mean, the ads on this site doesn't appear for admins or for guest with the same IP as me, I have no idea how the ads looks like or what is been displayed.

If that isn't enough then I'm officially clueless.

Awesome


Isn't it awesome when you just got a job, well, a part-time job and two weeks later you just got a vacation period :)

I have a full free week starting today, it's kinda weird, a month ago I was so desperate to get a job, now that I found one, I got free time again :P the only difference is that this time is paid and I do have a job so I won't be going to more and more endless appointments.
