Fundable.com wrap up

You will be happy to know that fundable.com has issued a refund to my donors. Mr. Pratt sent me screenshots this morning of a PayPal payment going to Donor 2 and checks going to my dad and Donor 1. I’m paraphrasing, but if I get permission to post the email, I will — He reiterated

My experience with Fundable.com

Edited to add: In 2009, the original fundable.com shut down. In 2011, Virtucon Ventures (http://www.virtuconventures.com) purchased the domain. They are not associated with the original Fundable.com or Mr. Pratt, and will be re-launching the site in April of 2012.

New RAM or not new RAM

Rob picked up some new RAM for my computer, reasoning that it might help with some of the sluggishness problems I’ve been having. Alas, when installed, the computer turns on but fails to boot. So I pulled them out and put the old RAM back in. I’m sure it’s my imagination but the darn thing
