Mount Madonna School, November 2000
A gift of a framed image of Ganesh - ‟The elephant headed god, the remover of obstacles, the protector. With his blessings, a person gains confidence in the success of their endeavor and his guarding hand keeps negativity and ignorance at bay.”
In addition to the thank you cards and gifts there was a continual expression of gratitude for the work I did. This is, of course, a wonderfully effective way to motivate volunteers. Here is a mail thread which is a good example of the feedback I got through the years.
The complete code for Reg is kept in a public open source repository at github.com a total of 2,137 commits. Just for fun, here are some selected code fragments with the coolest parts colored in red.
A total of $175,665.54. The rewrite began in 2007. It was important to have my ‟sustained attention” so that the project could be completed (including migration of data) and ‟go live”. Unless that happened all the work would have been for naught.
After Babaji’s stroke in 2013 I donated 90% of the monies I received to help with his 24/7 care.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, MMC had to shut down in July 2020 and had no income at all. I stopped charging for my work - up to the completion of the transition to RG in November 2024.
A total of $7,536.34. Mount Madonna Institute shared the cost of development when the features were mostly for MMI.
