Rails schema

Just found unpleasant bug while doing rake db:schema:dump - it appears that RoR doesn't save table charsets in schema.rb. So when you do load, your tables will be vanilla latin1. Not really cool. Promised to fix in 1.2

Credit card validation

Hot news: from now we support AmEx and Discover.

I had to write some JS validations for AmEx cause they have 4 digits in CVV and while writing code realized that I wrote smth as boring as this simple JS like 3 years ago. This is so 90s! Definitely not web2.0 style ;)
Pephaps if I weren't so lazy, I could write ajax-based validations. hehe. It reminds me another crazy guy who did "web2.0 redirect function" using ajax ;) Sometimes boredom makes me do crazy things like this too =)

Payplay.FM wallet is LIVE

We have finally published it on live server!
From now users can safely transfer money from credit card to their accounts on site and use it while buying licenses for tracks or albums. This will help both us - in providing features like bonuses, gifts, etc and customers in making it easier to pay in winamp/media player window.

https://www.payplay.fm/user/account is a new page that will definitely grow up in size soon =)

I remember the time when it was not that easy to find non-secure elements on your https-page. You had to check every line of your code to ensure no "http://" links were hardcoded. With CSS and advanced JS it became even harder but firefox is here to help. It can show all your media on one screen so you are saved =)
