Spring Fundraiser and a New Server (Merged)

[jwinslow]

At my school we have Skip-A-Meal's fairly often, where the proceeds go towards some good cause (usually missions or poverty related).

I would suggest the same thing for many of you who might not have much money to spare for donations:

Instead of eating out for lunch tomorrow, pack a lunch and give $5 to BP. If even 100 of you do this, that will be $500 towards the server, which will bring us 6% closer to our goal (assuming $8K is the total).

By the way... shouldn't my medal be changing colors right about now

No, cuz you didn't help paint the pretty pictures. They don't give silvers to the grunt workers

Anyway, in case some of you missed it somehow, we are selling BP T-shirts to raise revenue for BP as well. All of the profits go towards this new server.

Thank god I looked over the beginning of the server thread ...

I was concerned when I saw Clarity relating that 8MB of Ram might be overkill.
(More like roadkill!)

Reminded me of one of those techie definitions of slow death -- Windows on 1MB of RAM

Luckily I see the specs get a boost (1,000 fold) in the server thread.

Keep the ball rolling guys...

We have our excellent graphics crew working on a progress meter to show where we are in regards to the new server.

Counting previous drives?

 

[Clarity]

Counting previous drives?

Yep. Running total from this new drive is about $150 The rest are general donations from the last few months, and the remains of a Christmas gorilla.

 

[osugrad21]

Counting previous drives?

Right now, this is an estimate after recent expenses related to the software, and some machine maintenance.

We will have exact figures in the coming days.

 

[jwinslow]

None of the t-shirt funds are included. Those will be added much after all of this, probably mid to late April. We should have a SIZEABLE donation from all of your purchases.
