My Seti friends...............
It is that time of year again.
Seti fundraising time.

I just tossed in a c-note.

More than that is needed to keep the project up and running in this new era of telescope changes and the increasing need for us, as volunteers, to keep processing what we have and what we shall acquire in the near future.

Seti is OUR project, not just the property of the university in Berkeley.
They do not fund it. They do not buy the project new servers.

This is fact.

We need YOUR support, not just in donating computer time.
The infrastructure has to be supported as well.

So, I ask you to put just a little money where your heart is, kitties.

Give what you can directly to the general fund for Seti.
I shall make it easy for you.........
Here is the link.

The recent problems with the carolyn server should be enough to explain the need.

Even ten kibbles helps.....if enough of you do it.

And the kitties send their meows of thanks to MarkJ.
If they are counting right on their little toes, that takes us up to $650.00 so far!

Very nice going.....
Still room for lots of little $10.00 stars.

That was a limited edition. Awarded for one specific fundraiser. Unfortunately I did not have the money to spare at that time .
I would dearly love one myself.
Dunno if they shall offer the opportunity again.
I shall ask Eric.

Eric replied that he 'believes' there may be another special fundraiser with special stars again in April.

I have no idea if bitcoin donations qualify....
Perhaps they should, but I have no idea if an automatic mechanism is in place to handle them.

In the meantime, how 'bout some more contributors to the drive?
Even $10.00 gets you a shiny green star!

The real question is how much does a blue star cost. Green is only my 3rd favorite color.
