I will tot up the total to date and post it later on Bunny.

I will try to update this weekend (but I did think Fil was going to do updates when possible). If anyone is keen to take on the role please let me know. The other thing is the web hosting - I am happy to wear the cost of the web hosting for another few months to see where things go. If things do take off however we will need to look at options. At present the actual song files are kindly hosted by a friend of Shars which helps my bandwidth issues greatly. :thu:

Alright Dan. Glad to have you onboard. I'll put you on the roster for Mixing and Keys. Nursers is on for keys too but there should be room for both (especially if you're doing the mixing) ;) Nursers has already said 'The more the merrier'.

 

thanks!

:cool:

Absolutely :thu:

Ok, donation update. No donations have come in the past week. Website hits are dropping off but we are still getting them.

We just need to get a 2nd song on the site and plug the hell out of it and things should fire up again.

 

One other question: does ANYONE have even a tiny contact to see if we could get the songs on iTunes Music Store? Wraub was going to have a try but he hasn't checked in lately.

 

Anyone?

Ahh you are partly correct - I have connections with Apple Oz, who have been unable to get me anywhere with Apple US. Trouble is we don't have iTunes music store down here :(

Hi Nursers.

I have the reciept number which i posted up here that the DEC gave me.

Its 20000000161330 and if you need to confirm this payment, please call the DEC on +44 0207 436 6000.

I payed via their site from our website and they didnt send me a reciept, just a confimation number which is above.

I can provide a reciept though from my bank account confirming the money was payed to the DEC if you want via a statement or something...

 

The rest of the money will need to be changed over to £ and then transfered to my account again and if you rather (and i would actually) I can send it to your PP acc Nursers as the exchange rate maybe better in Aus $ than British £.

Let me know what you would like me to do. :)

Hi Shars,

 

That's all fine. There's not a lot of point transferring to me as it may provide more aussie dollars, but aussie dollars are worth less than pounds. It's all swings and roundabouts really - so go for it in pounds :thu:

Hey again all. Sorry, but have been out of town on family business. Glad to see you are all still going on this!

I had attempted Apple contact, but no response. Perhaps a group effort would be productive, a concerted attack, as it were, especially as I am entering the busy season at my workplace, and the band is gigging more.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Peace,

 

wraub

 

I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here.

Wait. I thought we had generated over $1,500 in donations. You're saying it's only $1186.18???

 

Our website has been claiming, for more than a month now, that the total is "over $1,500 US"!!!

 

Go look at our site, under the January 11 update.

 

What's going on here??? :confused::confused::confused:

I can explain this as I was the one that put $1500.00 on the site update. Firstly, the total amount was a little more than Shars quoted, but I know from my own business that US exchange has deteriorated a little in the last month.

 

Secondly, I rounded up to $1500 to keep the vibe going that things were going really well.

 

Thirdly, I can confirm no donations have come in, in the past few weeks, but this should resolve once Song 2 goes up on the site :thu:

 

What this does emphasise is the post I made above this one, stating it would be great to have a better billing interface set up. I don't have the skills in that area unfortunately. We do have checks and balances in place, but would be nice to go that step further :thu:

I total agree with Nursers.

When i last looked at the PP acc and totted up the totals, i was givern a different exchange rate by the currency convertor as these change everyday so no 2 days are the same. When I looked again to transfer funds...its one of those bastard things that we have to put up with.

Hope this explaines it but its the way things go with changing money from $ to £ and thats why we need a different way of doing this.

As Nursers said, we haven't had any donations in ages and this should change with songs 2,3 and 4 on the site.

Hope that explains it Bunny.
