Donation made - and I can't believe people are so mean sometimes.
I only gave a tenner, and I think it's worth more than that, but even if EVERYONE who downloaded only gave £3 that would be better than nothing. Come on, £3 is barely a pint! Donate!

I had a friend who developed an excellent bit of freeware (an A/D interface and code for it) BUT the deal was, the code was his. No GPL.
But it was still free. The result was, he got a fair bit of abuse, with one person harassing him, DEMANDING he release the full source, so that he could embed it in his commercial product. The irony. In the end, he just gave up and closed it, to the detriment of everyone.

Then there's The Oatmeal, an excellent and professional cartoonist who puts his cartoons online free, but has them for sale in books, and the deal is, no copying onto your own site without attribution.
When he found a site using his cartoons as their own, he didn't sue, but he complained and asked they be taken down. The result? How dare he want to make money off his work! Everything should be free, for everyone, all the time, forever. Someone else can work out how that works...

Sorry, rant over! Bottom line: great app, thanks for making it!

Hi Steve, donation made. I've had more fun with my weather station and this software than anything else for ages! Does this get me registered? Can I put my website on the Cumulus map?

Thank you

Andrew

There's no such thing as being registered; no part of being a Cumulus user is dependent on making a donation, including being on the map. Just go ahead and fill in the form!

Hi Steve,

Only been running your software a few weeks now and sent donation a few days ago.
Been having great fun screwing the templates up :oops: I am a radio ham and a mate of mine
that did some great software "HRD" and did it on a donation basis and he added tags to donators
that would show in profile IE: "HRD supporter 2012" and he found that the guys that did donate
did so every year so had a bunch of these donate tags :P

Thanks again for a great FREE program that deserves our support.

Parked up in my truck tonight so the templates are safe for now :lol:

Thanks again Steve

Paul

Yes, I noticed...

Your truckcam is quite addictive; I kept watching and trying to guess where you were going next - Hayling Island threw me completely :lol:
