Speaking of money won, maybe if I start hitting up the blackjack tables again, I can manage some better donations, or maybe I'll be needing donations...

Sorry, Blake......the Seti server fund is a one way road....no withdrawals allowed...LOL.

I hope those of you reading this thread and wondering if it is worth the effort to donate just $10.00.........will take my assurance that it is.

Well said. :-)

Excellent, Sir, just excellent.

I am hoping that Uli will do me the favor of updating the tally tomorrow.

Now let's play a little baseball........

Now........I am looking for a few good $10.00 men......
Step up to the plate boyz.

The deal is this........
I've had a few and I'm gonna put the kitties' kibble bowl on the line one last time in this drive.

If I get 20 $10.00 donors between now and when I wake up in the morning.........
The kitties will match it.

Yup......20 $10.00 donations...(that's $200.00US)....and I will make one last donation of $200.00 from the kibble bowl.

I doubt that you folks can do this, but I am laying the gauntlet on the table.

This has to be from individual donors. Not somebody dicing up the pie and making multiple donations.

And it's already 5AM here, so you better be quick about it.

Those who are the chosen ones who have stepped forth.......
And it is NOT a matter of how far you have stepped. Only that you have.

My friends............

We have done some great things here. You have followed in the footsteps of the greatest kitties of all time.

I can remember no other donation pledge where so many came forth offering so much of what they had.

You honor me. You honor the memory of Oscar........who was only 7-1/2 years old when taken from Lori and I......
You have honored your chosen project.

You have done well, my friends. You have done well.

I...see... You.

If you have seen Avatar, you know what I mean. It means something between 'hi' and 'I love you'.....it means we are one.
It means we have somehow been apart and wish it never to be so again.

You have all been so wonderful. May it always be so.

I see YOU. I cry now.

But I think the kitty's ribs will be starting to show, so I'll opt out of that offer.

Well, I found the email in the spambox. Seems the berkley mail server has an invalid HELO (if I'm reading the log correctly).
Anyone I can send the headers/log to for investigation?

Oh, my........again.........

Even Robest, with whom I have had some, shall we say, differences of opinion in the past.

Uli, can you do the totals for me?

We are well over $3000.00 by now.

Oscar should have a full complement of drives by now.......and twelve cores instead of only eight.

What could we possibly do next?

The fibre, as I understand, has already been pulled up the hill.

I need some conversation with the boyz........and that is not always easy to arrange.

You all keep the donations coming.....
I will arrange what they are going to do next.......LOL.

Meow meow, my fellow kitty and Seti sisters and brothers. You have done so weel this weekend, so well.

You make the kittyman proud to be a participant. All I did was ask you to come together for a common goal. I did not make this happen on my own.

YOU did........

I see YOU. Watch Avatar, and you will know just what that means....at least to me.
