You may remember our last fundraiser, the Green Bank Transport Project, to purchase hard drives for transporting data from the observatory (and which ended up fulfilling another drive requirement on the same day.) Well, just in case you’re wondering what happened with it and why I’m back with another fundraiser, yes, it was very successful and has been put to good use:

Your order is complete! Your order number is 1330. $490 so it should be down to $4000 left now, except gpuug.org isn't updating the amount BOINC blog |

Your order is complete! Your order number is 1330. For the second time in as many campaigns you've utterly astounded me with your generosity. Thank you! :^) Regarding the totals: for some reason it was decided to rename the GPUUG fundraiser entry with a "SETI@Home - " prefix which has caused the totals to go wonky when a donation is made; notice that a second entry with only $490 of $6600 appeared below. I've written to the site admin. and he'll merge the two as has been done the other times. I'm watching the totals and logging all donations so all's well. And I can't let a contribution so large go unanswered, so; Thank you for your gift of $490.00 via Visa on 03/20/2014. Your gift will benefit the following area: SETI@home - $490.00 Your confirmation number is: 130685 There's my bit with the GPUUG special designation, leaving $3,510 left to raise in total, $1,755 from everyone else and the same amount from me. |

Here's mine: Excellent and thank you! Well, we won't be needing a fundraising weekend anymore. Fellow GPUUG member, Robert M. Deller, just remembered he hadn't made his annual donation to SETI@Home, so he did so and swung it our way. It's for $1,000 and was placed through GiveToCal, confirmation number: 130686. This was sent to me in a PM. Just astounding! Oh and @MarkJ, he's a fellow Canadian, so it's a tax writeoff... I'm quite moved that you donate as much as you do without any deductions! So here's my matching donation for Robert and Fred: Thank you for your gift of $1,050.00 via Visa on 03/20/2014. Your gift will benefit the following area: SETI@home - $1,050.00 Your confirmation number is: 130689 We're now only $1,460 from completion! That's only $730 in donations left which I will match to reach our goal (and let's hope those goalposts don't move too much!) |

Oh, I really didn't need to eat this month, anyway. From the Beverages thread we have going I was starting to suspect that GPUUG didn't think food was important. ;^) And thank you! Now that is a little better than the ten bucks I was expecting. @{BDC} Thomas Dupont: Very nice and thank you... another team founder donated. :^) Here's mine, (I'm almost skint so have been putting it off): Nah, your timing couldn't have been better. Happy you put it off for this and thank you! Here's mine to match your three: Thank you for your gift of $293.00 via Visa on 03/20/2014. Your gift will benefit the following area: SETI@home - $293.00 Your confirmation number is: 130698 We are down to $406 remaining or $203 from you with my matching... one nice donation could end this! |

Thank you for your gift of $203.00 via Visa on 03/20/2014. YEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Thank you John! Ahem... I think I earned an over-the-top there. :^) That was about the most amazing thread less than one day old I've ever seen. Thank you for your gift of $203.00 via Visa on 03/20/2014. Your gift will benefit the following area: SETI@home - $203.00 Your confirmation number is: 130701 And we're done here. I'll ask that the moderators keep it open in case there are any questions or feedback; if it's still open in a few hours I'll request it be closed. I need to archive it as well! |

That was fast!!! Indeed! Open less than a day and the goal reached... still hasn't sunk in yet. Now what do I do? :^) So I'll ask a moderator to unpin and close it now. Note to moderators in future: The SETI@Home team may change the hardware required, so more funds may be needed and I'll ask that it be unlocked and pinned again. |
