Replacement Chat Fundraiser

[ScottM]

However, PoA needs YOUR help in raising the necessary funds to procure the $300 license needed to operate RealChat here on our beloved front porch.

The tape on the front page says the $$ drive is for $400. What is the extra $100 for? Jesse's new iPhone or beer for the MC?

 

[Greebo]

I'm not accepting friend requests from anyone. It might smack of favoritism.

As for the thank you PMs - those are automated.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, guys.

Both. Jesse has to bring the beer since he's the techie.

I didn't get a "Thank You" PM.

Gosh, I thought the Velveeta would have been enough. Do I still have to donate the ramen noodles I have left in reserve?

 

[gprellwitz]

I didn't get one

And Chuck still has not accepted my friend request either

I wonder if there's a message in that?

Edit:

I didn't get a "Thank You" PM.

Now I know there is!

if (posts_in_spin_zone > 10)  
then send_thank_you := FALSE;

Chuck wants no friends and is making up excuses.

 

[dmccormack]

I donated but didn't get a thanks OR see the bar go up...

Somebody call the whaaaaa!-bulance...

 

[Frank Browne]

I didn't use chat very much, but I kicked in $20 bucks.

 

[flyer]

Done. I couldnt afford much, but I did get a thank you note!

 

[silver-eagle]

I threw in even though I didn't use the old system more than a few time. I can't stand adults crying.

 

[drizzt76]

Hey looks like we made it!!! Where is the chat link??? Geez you guys are slow!!!

 

[KennyFlys]

Even the moon is happy...

But, now that the money is there....

 

[skyflyer8]

Wow, that was quick.

 

[Greebo]

Thanks guys, that was awesome!

We need to wait on all the payments to clear (4 business days, sorry), and then we'll get the ball rolling.

 

[EdFred]

Can we get a donation fund going for my next plane?

 

[jason]

Both. Jesse has to bring the beer since he's the techie.

But he can't even buy it yet.

 

[SCCutler]

But he can't even buy it yet.

I was thinking the same thing, but was gonna try to preserve some dignity.

Truth to tell, I am not at all certain Jesse will start drinking anyway... this, based upon the exceptional role models we drinkers have been for him (Exhibit A- the late-night dam run- thanks, Jesse, for being the Sober Van Driver Guy).

 

[Frank Browne]

Hmm, I could sure use a new bicycle. Just thinking out loud.

 

[vontresc]

Hey Spike has all photographic evidence of the Dam Run been erased????

Dignity? Hell, he's ten times smarter than I was at his age.

Besides, when have you ever known him to lack in self confidence?

 

[flhrci]

What about a fundraiser for those of us that cannot afford to buy our first plane?

id rather starve than ever eat Ramen again

I actually like ramen, but not as a soup, as side noodles. Cook the noodles, drain, add 1/2 of the salt^H^H^H^Hflavor packet, mix, serve on the side.

You'd like supper at our place, Bill.

Boil the noodles, chop up some california mix veggies (broccoli, cauliflour, carrots) and fry in a frying pan after the noodles are cooked. add Flavor pack. MMMMM MMMMMM Good stuff.

 

[AdamZ]

Where the heck is this donation bar?????

 

[KennyFlys]

Where the heck is this donation bar?????

It's Sunday... is a Blue Law in effect?

I presume it's gone, since it's not needed anymore! Talk about a record-short fundraiser!

yea no kidding, thanks a ton Jesse. We probably would all still be in Arkansas jail if it wasnt for you.

 

[Greebo]

Yep. We hit the goal in about 18 hours, which is totally awesome!!!, so I turned it off.

"Still"?

 

[vontresc]

You mean that $300 RC cub

 

[jesse]

We purchased the chat software over the weekend. I received the license for it today. So I'll work on implementing it.. It might be a few days off yet as I may need to program a few things.

 

[jesse]

I just installed the chat and wrote some custom code to properly implement avatars and a who is online list. Let me know what you think--this can be a work in progress. You should see a "Live Chat" link at the top.

 

[deafsound]

quick criticisms...it doesn't open in a new tab or window(which I care about)....it totally screws up myspace music listening (which I don't care about much).
But thanks for doing this dude.

 

[jesse]

it doesn't open in a new tab or window(which I care about)....

Fixed. It should open in a new tab/window now.

 

[deafsound]

VG. it does now.

Looks good so far. Not a huge fan of the default color scheme though

I'm a tech guy, not a color guy, find me new colors for each part of the chat and we'll change them.
