I guess that's your answer. I'm sure it means for the year ahead, not the past year. :)

I've never been in a position to contribute monetarily before... now seems as good a time as any.
Wait a minute



Does this mean that Donut is earning his own way in the world?

For some reason I thought he was still at school.
If Donut is earning his own way in the world? What about Korexus?
Is he done with the school thing also?
WOW where does the time go?

Depends on your definition of 'done with school'.

I teach maths these days, so I'm still going to school, but from the other end.

Except today because it's SNOWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You didn't have classes because of snow? :shock:

It's been snowing for a couple of days now in my city and still, today, I did teach (at least some of) my students how to express certainty and possibility using modal verbs. :)

I just got my latest CC bill.

It reads $179,40 payed for 1 year hosting. *sic*

After COUNTLESS emails detailing that Chris is already paying for it I STILL got charged.

Now I can run after my cash to get it back somehow - great. Talking to the people there in charge feels like talking to the deaf & dumb. Im really pi$$ed off atm.

The service has been completely useless. Does anyone know how tricky it would be to switch providers, given we want to keep the same domain name and everything? It shouldn't be a problem really, but I can see us having trouble if we try it...

Just got this in my mail:

A credit/refund has been issued on the following order.

Sale: xxxxxx Amount: 179.40

Additional comments: Order canceled per customer request without response from our supplier.


I should see this on my next CC statement, guess thats good news after all. Note that MBSHost / Dotgig apparently didnt even bother to answer me and only the payment processing company helped out.

Han has just mailed me a hefty cheque having got sick with paypal. Thanks to that we should be clear for a year or so now. Thanks, Han!

I guess I'd better go update the donations page now.

Just a minor problem.
After looking at said donations page I see I am listed twice??
I thought I had gotten rid of that evil twin guy awhile ago.
Now I have to find him again and do the job right.

Thanks in advance for fixing this little oversight. I'm pretty sure you don't want me trying to take credit for twice as much as I have actually donated over the years.

Any updates will have to wait a couple of weeks. I'm visiting my folks and don't have the files with me...

I also have none of Al's records, anywhere. Hence the bit about the year with no records. - I've just tried to update what was there as best I can, sorry...

Vortan has donated us $20, he's only played one turn and already he's hooked! :D

WoK now has a $400 bank balance, which is probably the healthiest it's ever been. If anyone has any suggestions for what to spend it on (advertising, software, *coughwageforchriscough*) post it here. Al has volunteered to carry on paying for the name and so currently our only cost is for the server space at $119 per year. Therefore we do have a decent amount of cash in hand...

I would say advertising but I would have no idea how much that would actually cost.
