Adium binaries... and why PayPal sucks
October 10, 2007 18:41 | Permalink
Here's a build of
todays Adium from the SVN repository because
Bonjour wasn't working properly in the 1.1
release and it does in this checkout (only
negative thing I've noticed was a prompt to
upgrade Growl, even though it was already at the
most recent release, but there's an ignore
button for that).
Also removed the PayPal donate link because PayPal sucks. Thanks for the two donations I've received by the way. The reason for removing it is that the PayPal system is not able to comprehend that people can move to other countries - so you can't change your country of residence, and neither can PayPal support. Instead they actually asked me to delete my account, which I promptly did. They also asked me to create a new one with the UK as residence, but I skipped that step. After all this was my second PayPal account, because on the first one my password randomly vanished from their records and they were unable to recover the account or the money. And no, I did not forget it (it was stored in Mac OS X' KeyChain) and neither was I careless with it or got phished or anything like that. I was told the money was still on the account and it would be transferred to my new account after a while, which of course never happened either.
