MoDaCo are trying to rise £10,000 for Cancer Research, to help with the donations people have donated items for people to win. Everyone that donates to Cancer Research has a chance to win something.

The following details are from the MoDaCo post.

What is the ’10K for £10K for Childhood Leukaemia’ campaign?

Since the very early days of MoDaCo back in 2002, we have been involved with raising money for Cancer Research. When we’ve held our face-to-face events over the years proceeds have always been donated to CR and other fundraising efforts since have always contributed to this extremely worthy cause. Just recently I noticed that my follower count on Twitter was heading towards 10,000 and this got me thinking about whether I could use this following to do some good. This in turn led me to wonder if we could raise £10,000 for the MoDaCo Cancer Research ‘My Project’ in aid of Childhood Leukaemia, which equates to a donation of £1 per Twitter follower.

Of course, the best reward of donating to such a worthy cause is the knowledge that your are contributing to helping the most vulnerable of Cancer sufferers, but there’s no reason there can’t be an extra carrot of a gadget or two up for grabs is there…, hence we have a prize pool, the recipients of which will be chosen at random the end of the donation effort from those who have donated.

What are the prizes?

I have started the ball rolling by donating some of my personal tech to the prize pool and I have also invited some friends of MoDaCo to offer prizes too. I hope that the list below will grow as the effort gets publicised.

I went to the Irssi website to grab the latest copy and saw this on the home page. It seems people who use and know what IRC is got it all wrong.

I was shocked at how wrong numb3rs go it. While people who know about IRC will laugh at how wrong it is, anyone watching it who doesnt know what IRC is now has completely the wrong idea about IRC.

I think this video response says it all.
