As an update to my earlier post, I am happy to announce that Relakks have finally responded to my numerous emails. It seems the service is not going belly up, but is experiencing technical problems related to PayPal, here a quote from their email to me:

There is something seriously wrong with PayPal, they are working on the problem. But it’s a big technical solution that might take up to one month to accomplish…

A message on their website informing their customers about this issue would have been both professional and nice.

Several months ago, I discovered Relakks, a Swedish VPN service, which I posted about and began to use. One and a half months ago, I noticed that I was no longer able to access the payment page in order to renew my account (I renew my account on a monthly basis).

Upon searching the internet, I realized I was not the only one experiencing this problem, all Relakks users trying to access the payment page are greeted with this message:

Our payment methods are being looked over, it is therefore impossible to pay for the service. We apologize for any inconvenience.

It would also appear, that many inquiries by Relakks customers have so far gone unanswered, including my own.

I do know that Relakks customers who paid for one year in advance are still able to use the service even though they too cannot access the payment page. So it would appear that Relakks is currently not accepting new purchases of account activation or renewal.

The Relakks website however offers absolutely no information concerning this profound disturbance in the service.

Currently all we have to go by are rumours that the service may go belly up soon.

This is the result of playing around and combining vector images into a wallpaper with a heavy dose of colours and filters. When I started out I did not really have any specific aim, I let my imagination guide me.

I seem to be on a role, I have created yet another wallpaper. Being a WWII history enthusiast, I have selected this as my theme for a collage wallpaper. This is my first attempt at a collage.

While browsing deviantART today, I came across a great HDR photo of a tree in the middle of a field. It screamed out to me, asking to be edited, and so it came to be that I whipped up this new wallpaper.
