Wow! $3,887 in 2 days!? That's amazing! I am really happy for DonationCoder and I am feeling confident that the goal will be reach very soon.

Thank you mouser and everybody that with great dedication and hard work makes this a incredible website.

Sorry... $3,906! (It is getting faster than the time that I take to write my messages...)

You should write more posts then, so the donations keep coming

Every time I look away that thermometer rises. I hope you all appreciate the effort I'm putting into looking away!

Cheers! And what a *awesome* prize is the "10-25 hours Custom Coding Time" on anything we design!

...uh, it has to be legal, now that I read better... D'oh!

Hi everyone, there IS hope for the DC-pages !
So much donating means that the users definitely want to keep the pages and the forum and the coding snacks and and and
ALIVE!

Greetings from a very rare poster :-)

Yes housetier, you are right. I will try to do it more

(Let's hope with this post the temperature gets even higher

)

housetier · « **Reply #65 on:** March 03, 2011, 04:03 PM »

That's the spirit!

Hi all. I am an "Old Guy" of 70 years who started coding in the mid 1970's when computers were very different. Learned my stuff from 3 computer scientists who guided me through some very strange stuff and I had a blastl. I ended up hooked and never left the sight of a computer. My wish was that I had the kind of community and resources that are available today. Keep up the good work and and I will be watching what happens. Just do not stop when you reach $6,000. You can always use the funds to expand your work in other ways.

mouser · « **Reply #67 on:** March 03, 2011, 07:45 PM »

I love seeing all the different people on this thread, both the old timers and the new members -- thank you oakvillan, muadib, TAF2000, Rambo54, insert_nick!

Big thanks also to Ishan at the ILoveFreeSoftware site:

How would you want to stop volunteered donations, put a stop-sign at the site? That's not going to happen

Any donation, big or small is more then welcome, mouser said that several times, in the last 6 years

mouser · « **Reply #69 on:** March 03, 2011, 08:15 PM »

I think what he was saying is to expand the scale of the thermometer if we reach $6,000 and keep the fundraiser going throughout the month, something i think we should do. Just remember, donations won't continue at anything close to this initial pace; most of the donations so far have come people responding to the special fundraiser email/newsletter that went out over the last couple days.

J-Mac · « **Reply #70 on:** March 04, 2011, 07:33 AM »

C'mon all.... Keep it coming! Give up just a few latte's and we'll blow that thermometer up. $:-\$

Wasn't that what you did during the previous fundraiser?, it felt (and feels) so natural and rewarding to be happening

Winkie · « **Reply #72 on:** March 04, 2011, 07:02 PM »

Woohoo, already at $5.500

Wow!

Three days + 15.5 hours into it and you're almost at goal!

I've never seen anything like that for site like this one. Tells you something doesn't it?

(NPR & PBS could learn something here.

Oh, I scribbled a small message on my blog about my coding snack of today (small self-promotion

)
