Byebye TuxCard
March 31st, 2007 by HenI just got a letter letting me know that the Linux Fund credit card I had with MBNA was being discontinued (I’m guessing as a direct result of Bank of America being the new owners of MBNA). As of June 30 2007 it stops sending money to LinuxFund and then on to open source projects.
So a couple of thoughts. Firstly - gah. I liked that I was sending money to projects, and the penguin makes an impression every time I buy something (cute, alternative or cool). Secondly - anyone able to recommend a new card?

Hey! Remember me? I happened upon your blog from fnokd and recognized your name.
I’d love it if you’d check out the latest JavaBean Tester source and take a look at it. It blows up when it tries to pass an array of int primitives to a method accepting such objects. It returns an “Out of Memory: Heap Space” error and I think it might be a JVM bug (not the perm gen problem I think, because I’m not loading tons of new classes or anything).
Would you please download and look at it independantly so I can decide which course of action to take with it?

Allyson got the same notice on the same day. She’s heartbroken. We will miss the fat’n'happy herring-filled penguin on her card!
