And one easy way to pay back a little is to make sure you always credit the free/os software you rely on.
Open Source isn't free; it's paid for by the maintainers.

That tournament was this weekend. The WashU Women's Club Soccer team went thanks to everybody else who donated too -- and won the tournament scoring 15 goals over 5 games, conceding 0. Results etc at chartrandsoccer.com/ Donation page gofundme.com/get-washu-women… is still open...
Anna's team rocks, and they would love to get to Kansas to play a spring (== off-season) tournament. Please help with a buck or two. gofundme.com/get-washu-women…

One final #caturday (or two) for our poor cancer-struck tiger. Once more in her favourite position paws on my right arm so that I won't type, and this time carefully inspecting the code on my screen. #mydebuggerisacat #fuckcancer
