Ok I've been messing with the php GD to generate images and learning php/mysql for my portfolio so i gave myself a little project - 'the pam button'

Here it is:



So basically I have a form that i just type the current value of the pamfund into it and it updates the image. i know - noob php but im learnding!

The likeness of pam is based on the one time i saw her at a poker game in samba's house. She had those big glasses on.

Could always change it to use this pic.

If anyone actually wanted to run with the button in there sig thats cool, and I'd give the location of the form to update the graphic to whoever of the group is keeping tabs on the fund. - just not gonna post it here cause trolls could wreck it obviously.

billy the squid

just a quick question, is it possible to include "days to go" in the button?

it looks good though.

dangerman

aha, cool suggestion. i look at it. 27th nov right?

billy the squid

it would like add a sence of urgence to the donations

dangerman

done, days to go added.

billy the squid

thats pretty damn good if i may say so

Unfortunately a large number of people have pledged without actually doing the important bit:

Total collected to date: 369.04

Please please dont make me have to go through them all to see who did and who didnt cough up... I know a few people are paying at the beers but we're far from the total pledged...

I am pledging at the beers! If you will be there should we all hand it over to you? there were quite a few people bringing it to the beers I thought. Perhaps everyone should edit there post to include that info?

DeV... my transfer should have gone through immediately last night seeing as it's BoI to BoI. Let me know if there was a problem.

Does that include the SSF BOI account plus the Paypal system or are they a combined thing ? I did my transfer in BOI in Swords so that should have gone almost straight away to the SSF account - The other 20 quid for the Tagline I will hand up at the Beers on the 27th.

I thought this might be an issue. For the purposes of the pam button does it really matter though? The amount pledged is the amount to get pam in a dress, just like it was the amount pledged that got amp to change to pam.

If you think it's too misleading etc. the value could be changed to 369.04 but then the dream of that cute girl in drag seems so far away.

i'm all paid up! Paypaled!

DeVore

No, sorry, people are misunderstanding me (and I was quite mistaken too)

I'm sure the money will be raised, I just wanted to remind people that while its fun to pledge money and screw around with Amps account (with his consent, nay encouragement) there is a "follow through" of actually donating the cash pledged.

I had thought that Paypal automatically forwarded the cash to the bank account too... I copped that it doesnt when the amount raised in the Paypal account was a bit more then the bank account and (righteously) went looking to see who had taken a slice from the cash!

Turns out the money is in Paypal and the bank account has collected almost as much.
(which, while making me feel foolish, means that we've already raised about 700 euro for the charity before we've even started. Foolish I can live with )

It strikes me that we raised about that ENTIRELY last year in cash. The fact that that doesnt surprise me at all is testament to the mental barricades I've thrown up to deal with this year. I have a feeling its going to get a bit crazy.

Also, please dont take what I said as any negative comment on this. I think the whole Amp <-> Pam thing is pure oldskool Boards.ie culture all the way. I couldnt be prouder of the site then in the last week or two as a result.

I presume that you or one of the other Admins will be at the pissup at the end of november?
I was going to put the dosh into one of your hands that night, along with my re-subscription....

As I understand it, DeV has realised there's more money than he though at first already donated.

Anyway, to help the situation, can people who pay by paypal make sure they include their boards username and some reference to the amp=pam fund with their payment? There's a dialogue box for you to fill in a comment on the payapl payment page (like my alliteration? )

For those who are using the BOI account, IIRC you can include a refernce when lodging money to a bank a/c, if you're not too embaressed include your boards username and the amp=pam fund thingy as well

Personally I feel everyone will come good on their promises for this one, you're all good people and the response has been terrific so far. Now, hows about we get to the €3000 figure???

Zaph

Just double checked my Paypal account - I'm definitely paid up but left my name off the payment. Doh! If you need a reference to tie payments up let me know.

I think thats one for DeV or one of the other SSF organisers to decide. Should be easy enough to sort out if required.

Seraphina I have put you down for €50, If when you are in the bank you decide to put the taxman on the long finger {he will nott mind}and lodged more than that to the S.S.F please advise for the pledges and totals to be altered.

Are you serious aboout the €50 extra to do pams make up subject to her approval ?
