This Geek

Taken from the long weekend 19 - 21 March 2005.

I should also note that this is my 100th post! Yay me!

So I check out how cool Flickr is. I decide I want to expand from a free account, and purchase a subscription, because the advantages are, well, cool. So I enter the order function. They take credit cards (and well they should), but it’s handled by PayPal — not so cool. The reason why it’s not so cool? I can’t pay with my credit card. Because I’m in South Africa. It’s not one of the ‘45 Countries’ that can use PayPal. Fuckin’ great. Get with it you fuckholes (PayPal). How many damn years has it been?

– update: I should note that I searched the Flickr forums, and I’m heartened to learn that they will offer real payment options when they’re out of beta.

Let me point you in the direction of my wife’s blog — Bitch Blog, and it’s not a description of her, but a description of the function of the site. Erm. Go there and see what I mean.
