Panhandling
Monday, July 23rd, 2007 @ 7:01 pmSooooooooooo… anyone wanna renew my Flickr account and then e-mail me the code, then post a comment here without the code to tell ppl that it’s already done?
Okay, wait, hold on, I don’t like to really ask anything of people through this site, I try to present it more as an offering and I cover the webhosting costs.
I would be such an extreme hypocrite that I’m not sure the word even still applies if I were to have banner ads on this site, and though I used to have an ‘ad free blog’ owl in the sidebar, it just seemed redundant. I think that it’s clear from the content that I’m not going to be putting ads on this website or selling you coffee mugs and baseball caps through it.
The thing is, I’m currently in between an expensive scouting mission to try to find a site for Northtek (that nearly got us stranded in the woods) and helping put together at least one stage / doing a workshop at Northtek next weekend, then trying to get to BC following that. I have next to no money.
Now, the webhosting costs consist of the webspace, bandwidth, and domains related to this and connected sites. Part of the storage and traffic costs are attributed to 1&1, my hosting provider, but images (aside from the Shopping Cart gallery) are hosted on Flickr.
Flickr also wants money for a sufficient amount of storage space and bandwidth. The problem is that, unlike the 1&1 account which I’ve covered, my Flickr account is expiring August 6th and I could really use a donation from someone ’cause otherwise, I dunno, I hope you really like reading plain text.
I’m also just curious as to whether this will work.

It’s US$24.95 for 1 year, incidentally.

I’d be prepared to pitch a portion of that total to keep you running, $10 or 15.

I can contribute some money as well.
