Roelof has released a new version of Seti Spy to work better with Windows XP. Unfortunately he has also been diagnosed with Primary Sclerosing Colangitis (PSC) a rare untreatable liver disease that can only be overcome with a liver transplant. He has been advised that he needs to raise $50,000 for this purpose.

We always take care of our own here at TA and even though Roelof is not officially a member of the TeAm, with all the enjoyment and information we have gotten from SetiSpy he is one of us! Let's show him what we at TA can do!

---

A sticky and our very best wishes for Roelof's recovery.

:( Very sorry to hear that :(

Do we have a place set up to send donations? I may be able to send a bit of cash in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Crazee for the 'Heads Up' . . . too bad 'bout his Health 2 :(

He has also changed URL / Mail (take note on his Pages)

and anyone here @ AnandTech . . . > Please see this note on the future of SETI Spy . . . - might be of importance to the 'great minds' here @ AnandTech ?

A Prayer for Roelof . . .:heart:


<EDIT> MOD - "should make this THREAD a STICKY, eh"

Oh my :(

Prayers to our friend. I will do what I can as well.

Mods can we have a sticky? It will be quite a challenge but a possible one for all the DC TeAms combined to help Roelof, we can start by showing our support here.

Yeah I saw that ,but bank transfer from UK to USA is very expensive:disgust::confused: ,it would be cheaper for me to send $'s via secure delivery.
Anyone in the UK with Paypal?

Everyonce in a while I go to the forums at amdmb and poke around a bit, so I posted a link to his page and the donation page there. Hope they don't get PO'd! But thought that the more eyes that see this the better!

Don't worry MoFunk I posted it here, Team Ninja and Team Phoenix Rising :) I think anywhere there is a Seti team that you know is a good place to spread the word.

I would have posted at ARS, but Roelof beat me to it ;) :)
