Help Brendan Study Social Entepreneurship at Oxford for THREE BUCKS!

Payment option is now up. It’s not exactly as I wish, but it’ll work for now. At least it lets people get 3 bucks to me.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to remove paypal notification emails! I can only imagine how annoying 30,000 notification emails would be! Of course, I really shouldn’t complain about the possibility…

I have a meeting with my supervisor in about 20 minutes, and I am going to have to bashfully tell her that I haven’t got any more of my dissertation done because I’ve been asking people for 3 dollars each. It’s a good thing she’s understanding.

Some of the more unique components for the site are coming, but not quite there (for example, you might notice the Randomizer doesn’t actually randomize, it just keeps showing ‘Brendan is a Photographer’. Well, there are dozens more facts to get up there, once the tech stuff is right (I just pick the pretty pictures while more clever people help make it work…).

It’s dusk as I coax Windows Vista into letting me access the net. It’s been a challenging 24 hours tech-wise. First my email server was down, then my ISP. It’s ok though, with Steve and Tess’s help, it’s coming together. Steve was good enough to walk me through setting up a site (and using Wordpress, which turns out to be pretty easy!) Tess is figuring out how to fit the Paypal donation function into the site in a way that presents well.

I’m going to add some content, so folks know what the heck is going on!

Cheers,

I got the letter in the mail today. The official-looking form letter from oxford that nonetheless says the magic words:

“On behalf of the Admissions Committee for the Oxford Masters in Business Administration (MBA) I am delighted to offer you a place for the academic year 2008-2009″

Happy times!
