Yes, I hate them all.
I hate ebay because it is full of idiots.
I hate paypal because it is fundamentally shit.
I hate the pizza place down the road (Red Planet) because they have a sign out saying "ANY PIZZA", and a table of size->price. However if you go in and try to order a pizza, they tell you that they only do pizzas with two toppings or less for that price. Which isn't anything close to "ANY" by my definition! Hmph.
The ebay/paypal hatred currently comes from my last transaction, over a week ago, where i won an auction, paid for it, and the bloody seller is too incompetant to actually retrieve my payment from their paypal account. So I've paid for it, but it shows up as Unclaimed in Paypal, but because it's sent to a registered account, I can't cancel it for a month. Meanwhile the seller has asked me to pay for it *again* by sending the money to a different paypal account. Uh huh.. I wasn't born yesterday.
The good news is, I have coffee and have figured out a not-too-hacky way to integrate some stuff into my current work project.
And I managed to get OpenGL-ES running on my PSP last night. (And I had SDL running the previous night.)
Perhaps I should have just bought a GP2X instead? (Cheers to Azekeil for the link, although I'd seen mention of the GP2X elsewhere on dev forums and wondered what it was..)
[Edit: I have suggested to the seller that they should post the item to me now.. and in 30 days when I get an automatic refund for the unclaimed money (if they haven't claimed it by then) then I will happily send them the money again to their 2nd account). How much do you bet they refuse? ]
