October 2010 Donation Summary

During the month of October, this blog received four donations. They came from Sweden, the UK and the US. The total net amount received [after PayPal deducted their fees] was $110.66 (US dollars).

As a point of reference, in September net contributions totaled $108.86 from six donations.

I do not feel I can emphasize too much that every donation, of any amount, is greatly appreciated. At this point in my life this work that I do, the results of which you see posted on this blog each day, IS my job. I began this, and continue to do it, not because I had expectations of deriving income from it. Rather, I saw it as something of importance, something of value, that needs to be done -- and I enjoy doing it.

Day in and day out, this work requires a lot of hours and sometimes is made much more difficult by having to deal with hardware that is old and in need of replacement (kind of like me!). Currently I am trying to raise approximately $250 to replace some of that hardware that died. Since that need arose a little more than a week ago I have received $33.13 net.

Rest assured that I will continue to do the best that I can with the equipment that I have. I am having to do some sharing, which on some days makes it difficult to get torrents done in a timely manner, but better late than never hopefully.

I want to sincerely thank all those who help me carry on, whether that comes in the form of occasional words of appreciation for the effort, or in the form of a financial contribution. It all means a great deal to me.
