2 points by theolivenbaum on Nov 6, 2022 | hide | past | favorite
Not sure if anyone noticed this before, but I always had fun with the waiting messages from porkbun.com

Today I had a particularly slow domain purchase, and I think I got to see all of them at once while waiting for the payment to go through

They're all returned as part of the repeated calls to check the order status (https://porkbun.com/api/orders/checkOrderStatus), the response looks like this:

{ "error":0, "orderStatus":"0", "processingStatus":"going out to lunch", "item_count":"10", "items_processed":"8" }

Here's the whole list:

"waiting for book six"

"going out to lunch"

"sharpening pitchforks"

"for great justice"

"bringing it on"

"herding piglets"

"washing the dishes"

"getting jiggy with it"

"kissing a gift fish"

"testing your patience"
