Hi!
Are you happy with Freecell Solver or its integration into a Freecell app?
Did it prove useful to you? Do you have a positive stream of income, and
enough money to support yourself? If so, consider donating me some money for
a beneficial cause.
I am a Technion student and as such has the studies to worry about. I
don't work during the studies because it makes me nervous and leaves me
absolutely no time to relax or work on open source projects and other
endeavours. It is rumoured that many students who do work no longer have
any nerve left for studies, and I don't want it happening to me.
At the moment I'd like to have a 100 NIS or more for registration into
Hamakor, an Israeli NPO for open source and free software.[1] I also like
to pay for a Linux Weekly News subscription so I'll stay update and
support their great and helpful service.
I think a nice $50 should do the trick. Please use the Western Union money
transfers to the post office at Ahimeir St., Ramat Aviv Gimel, Tel Aviv,
Israel. You can donate more if you'd like.
Things I plan to do with the rest of the money:
1. Buy Nando's chicken dinners (Yum...), pizzas, chinese food, CDs, DVDs,
etc. (nice things I try to save on nowadays).
2. Donate to the Free Software Foundation, the KDE foundation, ICCCF
Holland (a social aid organization whose founder maintains Vim), etc.
3. Keep some in case I need any.
Note that this is not a demand of sort. I will be happy to work on
Freecell Solver in the future regardless if I receive the money or not.
However, I feel that Freecell Solver has reached a somewhat stable
condition, and there's nothing substantial to add to it. Most users are
quite happy with it, as it is. I do however, has other endeavours in mind,
some of them dwarf Freecell Solver in importance.
Cheers and stay cool,
Shlomi Fish

activist, but I know the guys who formed it are great guys and would like
to get involved. There is no rebate for students, unfortunately.
