From 1997, on Ftrain, its predecessors, and other sites, I've given away over 1000 separate pieces of text: over 600,000 words, over 400 images, a few audio files, and some site-building code. Thousands of people have spent thousands of hours reading Ftrain, and I've never asked for anything in return - honestly, I've always considered it a privilege to have a loyal, supportive audience, and putting a price tag on that bothered me.

But now I'm convinced that, if I had more time for the site, I could give more away. That's where you can help. By giving me money, you give me time - time to work on Ftrain for a few hours every day, time to post something new every weekday, time to edit more effectively, time to make the Ftrain site-building code publicly available.

How to donate. Give as much as you think this site is worth. You will be thanked at the end of the specific Ftrain piece you helped to fund. If you would like to remain anonymous, or want a link by your name, let me know.
