- srmklive/laravel-paypal: Laravel plugin for processing payments through PayPal. Can be used separately.
I need to upgrade the Badgers and Jam checkout to support Paypal, very soon.
- Toy Town by watabou
This is also great! Same author, really hoping they link the two up, so you can generate a map, then walk through it.
- Medieval Fantasy City Generator by watabou
This is just great. Loads of options, loads of visually distinct cities to work with.

I wish to acquire this for to listen to on the electrical ipod. I must remember to download it when I get home. For free and everything.
- PayPal Here
Paypal have launched a competitor to Square. Neither are available in the UK, so I don't care that much, but they're an indicator of the future, and it's good to see competition in this space. Although frankly, I think you'd have to be mad to try and run a serious business with Paypal, given their oft-demonstrated willingness to simply seize their users assets for spurious reasons like "we thought you were making too much money".
- Rob Reid: The $8 billion iPod | Video on TED.com
It's not going to come as a galloping shock to anyone here to discover that the numbers quoted by the pro-copyright-enforcement lobby in terms of lost revenue and jobs are total crap, btu this TED talk makes it clear just how much total bullshit they are. And is funny. Go watch.

- Dirty 30s! – The Lester Dent Pulp Paper Master Fiction Plot
Lester Dent sold a lot of books in his day. Writing a series of modern day stories that ultimately follow this formula might be fun. 10 or 12 would make a nicely publishable volume, too.
- Paypal orders destruction of antique violin
I'm not sure what to say. This feels very like something that ought to be a crime – the seller had an authenticated antique violin, worth $2,500, and sold it. The buyer disputed the purchase. Paypal required proof of destruction before they would refund money. Buyer destroys antique, seller is now out both an antique violin *and* the money. Surely Paypal could be held to be complicit in a theft, here?

Just a thing worth noting, should I ever be required to set up a service that needs payment processing with Paypal. Shitty behaviour.

Weird, and sick. I cannot fathom a motive to do this that doesn't leave me faintly nauseous.
