EaHH: Here’s the final figures!

Time for some accountability (we all knew it had to come). The grand total for EaHH came to *drumroll please* US$8673.83, which equalled AU$8,337.03 at the time of being transferred out of Paypal. Now to get down to the nitty gritty.

First off, the complete transaction history for the EaHH donation account: EaHH Complete Transaction History. As you can see, there is L$1208 extra currently in the account added since after the finish date – I’ll happily pop that onto the total myself.

Now to show that the money came out of the account, and that my figures, as presented, are accurate. Click any of the images for a larger view:

The first three sell orders.

And the forth.

The first three sell orders filled.

And the forth sell order filled.

And now to show the translation from US dollars into Australian currency.

First the info for how much it is going to be exchanged.

Review of the order.

Currency conversion successful.

Setting up the withdrawal.

And the withdrawal is complete!

Unfortunately the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal is not set up to allow donations directly from Paypal, which is why I had the money forwarded to my bank account. I will be posting proof of donation once it arrives into my bank account (some time this week) and it has been properly donated to the Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal. I’m sorry that the process has taken a while – getting the money from Linden Labs and into Paypal takes a little bit of time – in this case, more than a few days.

I hope that all of the screen-shots and information has gone some way to easing any inquisitive minds that have been curious about whether the money was getting to where it is supposed to be! If the images aren’t popping up big enough for you to see all the info, please right-click the images and select ‘Open Link in New Tab’ and the image will pop up at full resolution.

I will post again when the money arrives in my bank account and has been donated.

Sketch / Photo: Flooding in Brisbane prevents my posting yesterday.

Kat Johnston Sketch: Yes... this is what I planned to post yesterday. That didn't freakin happen though...

Yesterday I planned on posting an image, this sketch I had created moments before scanning it in. However, no sooner than I had uploaded it to Flickr and was preparing to write my post today, that the incredible occurred. My rumpus room flooded.

It has been steadily raining here over the past few days, and of course, we had to get flooded. The room went from dry to having a third of it covered in water in about two minutes flat. Now here’s the thing – this didn’t have to happen. There was no reason for this to happen – it was preventable! Our lounge had been flooded before, and there was ample opportunities for the owners of this place to fix the problem – in fact, I think they even filed an insurance claim over it. Did they fix the seal that allowed our rented property to flood though? No. They decided in their infinite wisdom that it ‘wouldn’t happen again’. It was very obviously a problem with dodgy construction, but they decided that rather than caring about the well-being of their tenants, they’d just let it slide and get the carpets cleaned.

I’ve been absolutely fuming over this, mainly because it was only by sheer luck that I was downstairs at the time this occurred to whisk all of our electronics equipment up from their places before they were drowned. It doesn’t do anything to help that the owners violated the residential tenancies act and had builders over to our place twice without any notice whatsoever either, twice in two weeks. Once this week, at 7:30 in the morning!

I’m telling you, if we didn’t need a place to live right now, I would be shooting daggers at people and glaring very very angrily. There might just be the use of flame-throwers too. I am not currently a happy camper.

Anyhow, hardly anything we can do about it now… so here’s a photo! Welcome to our new indoor swimming pool, courtesy of fools who would rather get annoyed tenants and carpet cleaned after the fact rather than fix the problem in the first place.

Kat Johnston: Flooding in Brisbane... why'd it have to be us?
