I further thought about your feedback and the comments from the owner of exchangerate-API and have removed that section from the blog and mentioned it in a follow-up post. I appreciate your comments, as they made me think more about that to

Back in the day, we had long internal conversations about doing verification 'properly' with government-issued IDs, third-party verification agencies and the like. But that never amounted to anything, sadly. They might consider it

Sure, there was a bit of guesswork on my part. I could analyse the traffic in more detail, but when I wrote this all up, it was Sunday evening, and I wanted to do the minimum analysis to get a response to the unlucky rube. I still have the

When I signed up and put in my credit card details, they immediately cancelled my order and completely deleted my account. I had to resort to moaning at them on twitter to get them to unblock me, which they did. Bit of a rubbish start to th

Heh, Rabbit (another one) was a location-specific mobile phone company in the UK back in the early 1990's. You had to be near an antenna to make or receive a call. It's the first thing that came to mind when this post came up. ht

It may have evolved since I last used it. But when I tried, it was a bit of a "bag of spanners", thrown together shell scripts which made some incorrect assumptions. Back then it didn't even make a bootable device. Everyone s

Wow, I don't remember this at all. It seems (according to WikiPedia) that the email password was revealed in the studio on a hot mic. Someone in the green room revealed this to an external party, "Oz and Yug". https:/&#
