I loved the parenthetical note by TextMate "...use the trial version and reset your clock!" Since you're building commercial software, the folks at TextMate might want to have a discussion with you, dude...
In his defense, he wrote this in response to a comment similar to yours:
"Actually, I am paying for TextMate, I guess I wanted to make a comment about trying to do things cheaply - bad joke. If one piece of software is worth buying it, it's TextMate!"
He also just deleted the part about resetting your clock from the post. Sounds like he was just trying to spice things up a little.

It wasn't working for me yesterday as well, but it looks like all is well again.
However, one thing that I've gotten used to with sites using textareas meant for copying and pasting is that when you click in the box it automatically selects all of the text for you, eliminating the need for any scrolling. For sites like yours whose success is based not only on its usefulness but also the small amount of time needed to get started, minor shortcuts like that can dramatically change the overall user experience if you can make your set up as painless as possible.
Oh.
Reminded me of the old Steven Wright joke when he went to the Quickie Mart and it was closed.
He said, "But the sign says 'Open 24 Hours'"
The owner replied, "Not in a row."
