As the end of the year draws near, Passpack is taking stock of it’s 2008 hits and it’s 2008 misses. We’ve gotten past our growing pains and at 2 years old, I’d like to think we’ve had more hits than misses [ego-bump]. A Walk Down Memory Lane We started 2008 with the announcement of Sharing [...]
It was a fantastic experience being in Berlin during the Web2.0 Expo this week. I met a lot of interesting people, and was happy (though not surprised) to learn that privacy and identity management is a key topic for many Web 2.0 users. A top highlight for me was having the chance to ask Tim [...]
Donato is a sucker for all things Web 2.0 and innovation, so when a few interesting conferences caught his eye, we couldn’t help but get him a ticket to Web 2.0 Expo Berlin. Our Passpack socialite-to-be wants to make the most of his time in the German capital and meet any Web 2.0-ers who may [...]

The Passpack team is expanding all the time and we would like to keep you guys up to date on our new additions. You may have read the post on the women of Passpack, which gave you a taste of some of the crew but here are a few you haven’t met and a few [...]
Francesco’s always making jokes about how he is constantly surrounded by women here at Passpack. I don’t blame him. It’s a small office and on a typical day the ratio of women/men is 4:1. It’s pretty evident that more and more women are making their way in front of the computer. And some of these [...]
Passpack has been selected to present at EASY London so the gang just me will be flying in tomorrow and staying for a few days. If you’ll be in town – drop me an email or catch me on Twitter. Hopefully I’ll have my phone in working order by then* * I’m in the process [...]

Since Yesterday, PayPal is not sending us confirmation notification of the payments. So the system is unable to update the status of the accounts. We could do this manually, but when PayPal will solve the issue, it will probably send all the notifications and this could create worse issues. So, we are waiting for a while. If nothing happens, we will fix the updates manually.
UPDATE, Jan. 29. The strategy worked because PayPal sent all the notification at one moment, and all the accounts have been upgraded correctly.
We completed the performance improvement of Passpack moving the static files on a new server. This improves also the general security because it is now much harder for an attacker to try to inject Javascript code.
Passpack has discontinued Google Gears support. It was used with slow browsers like Internet Explorer 6 or 7. If you use one of these browsers, probably your account will become really slow without Google Gears. We strongly suggest to upgrade to IE 9 or to a totally different browser like Chrome.
Follow-up to the last post, the billing system is completely functional again. Happy Tuesday!
