Despite my aversion towards Paypal and its practices, I tried to pay my bucks for RubyConf and be done with it. Looks like I am banned from using it, but other than "we can't tell you why, but there's some block in the system" no information from Paypal itself. I guess it has something to do with me "slandering" them at SecCon last year...
Code
Rodent comes alon nicely. rodent.pl now supports scanning for certifications, recentlog entries from people on a watch list, some standalone webserver functionality (coutesy of webrick) and the usual stuff.
Life
Is good.
Car
Will be back on Friday. Against my hopes, it's not totaled, so I'll have to drive it a few more years :)
