30/07: Funding level update (yes, at last)
Category: Success Stories
Posted by: Lord Matt
I have not been idle in my quest but with the stress of being harassed for (what is now) seven months solid by my local council I have not exactly had much by the way of spare time. Not for anything.
However I have been putting the coins I find in a pot on my desk and then feeling guilty that I have not updated my journal of finds, attempts and results.
This is the update for all those other updates. It was prompted by a big search for the none standard cable used to directly attach the digital camera to the PC.
My 2 gigabyte SD card works fine in the camera but the reader in the printer does not want to play ball. Since we moved at the start of the year I had yet to use the camera direct to the PC. In my search for the blasted cable the wife noticed a stash of small change at the bottom of a box. This was all I needed to get down and sort out the box in question.
Added tot he other coins I have been picking up the finds today amount to 18p in coppers and 55p in silver for a total of 73p which is worth about US$1.51 or there about.
Adding it all up I now hold UK£3.02 which is worth about US$6.05 or there abouts.
This puts me on Step 14 of my plan and the quest to put a £5 together. I have a theory about this that relates to the development of civilization. I am currently at the hunter gatherer stage. Just foraging for berries and going where-ever coin is to be found. I am starting to form an idea about what is next but until I get into stages 15 and 16 I don't think I'll be ready for it.
The good news is that I will soon be publishing photo's of the book I will be selling. I will give my reader(s) the chance to jump in and nab it for a song first.
