  1. .@pieteromvlee I've now posted an update on our case. In short, PayPal called, apologized and lifted all limitations. http://bit.ly/4vVV8Z
  2. @toxinide Thanks and indeed, the post made it.
  3. @tarasis I saw that. Unfortunately, Amazon and Authorize.Net are not an option in Israel. As is Google Checkout.
  4. @sgaw Indeed. Just see how many bad comments and stories followed my post on the blog and on conversations on reddit and ycombinator.
  5. @uliwitness Yes, at least we'll get the money sooner than later. And I'll be able to use my account again.
  6. .@arepty For them the case was closed. My appeal was denied and that's it. And no, he didn't offer any compensation, and I forgot to ask. :)
  7. He was apologetic and explained why the account was so severely limited in the first place. He said they're going to teach my case to reps.
  8. Following my post about PayPal, which so far got more than 40K views, a PayPal person talked to me for nearly an hour and lifted limitation.
  9. That's it, I'm going to rest. Thankfully I wasn't featured on Slashdot or my server were a toast. Looks like flow from daringfireball fades.
  10. @Kristof_be And I thought my 560MB should be enough for anything! Now more than twice the amount. And thanks for the kind words re. article.
  11. Bought another 360MB and increased Apache to 550 connections. Holding so far.
  12. No, the server dies under load from daring fireball. Increasing RAM again and rebooting. Also need to adjust Apache to more connections.
  13. Still holding the crowd from daringfireball. Maxed apache to 256 connections. How to increase?
  14. @tarasis Now @daringfireball will try to kill my server. And reddit is not over yet. Will it handle them both?
  15. For our american friends: Our PayPal horror story with MacGraPhoto sales. http://bit.ly/4vVV8Z. Please retweet.
  16. Submitted my story to slashdot: http://bit.ly/607YaC. Moderate, if you have an account there. Still don't fully understand how they work.
  17. @uliwitness Hehe. It's actually a combination of reddit's first page + top position at http://news.ycombinator.com/news
  18. Server's back up and seems to be working well. Combination of wordpress super-cache to reduce mysql access+0.9GB of memory does it. Phew.
  19. Just added 360MB to my linode. Now have 900MB of RAM. Let's see if it will help.
  20. Thank you reddit.com main page. You killed my server. Now need to get it to work.
