Haha, yeah, I got stumped trying to get Paypal working. Did you have your speakers turned up though? I tried to do my best to convey my thought process which I still feel is valuable to someone who still struggles with troubleshooting difficult issues.
And just to toot my own horn, I got some positive feedback from a few others who were watching at the time.

Either is more interesting than watching someone browse API documentation.
one is a little more disturbing than the other.

I'm not sure if you've ever tried to use PayPal but that is entirely plausible, unless it's much better than it was back when I was paddling in that pond.

Well, setting up a Donate button was trivial, and as for using PayPal for actual transactions, that was quite straight forward as well. There's a PayPal Ruby gem called "catarse_paypal_express" which the crowdfunding website that I was working with used, so it was straight forward too since it hid all the nuances.

Oh it's a foreign site, I guess they didn't check their name in English before going global.

I just dropped in and your browsing the Lounge. 
Audio sounded like listening to a weak radio station during an electrical storm. Beep, gurgle, hiss.

Wonder if I should suggest auto-playing video ads in suggs and bugs?

I must have popped in at the same point as others as you seemed to be going on an existential quest to work out the meaning of life, the universe and certain keys in the Paypal API. "Where does this value come from? Why do I use it?" I really needed to crank up the speakers to hear what you were saying as you spent a fair bit of time mumbling - you really should have used a professional quality microphone to capture your thoughts.
To be honest, while I can see what you were trying to achieve, it felt like I would have been better off watching a Pluralsight or CodeProject.TV video.

I just found about this today. Is it worth spending money here for courses?

It certainly is. The courses are excellent. And, of course, it's well worth checking out CodeProject.tv.

Interesting. I am looking for a WCF course for intermediate to expert level professionals. I found a rather old series of blog on MSDN. Not that they are bad, but it seems REST is most preferred while showing code samples. For instance, I would have appreciated full implementation of IEndpointBehavior interface rather than inheriting WebHttpBehavior.
I will check out if there are fully course like videos on CPTV. If not, I will have to go with this website. Of course I will come after you to get my money back if I don't find the courses useful. 
On an unrelated topic, have you seen Codility[^]? I did a demo test and it looks interesting as well.

Code project has a TV station? Are there dancing girls???

Ah, yes. Ruby Star. My cousin used to record with her after Black Oak Arkansas. But there were no rails or any other track marks. She wasn't really into needles.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
