Jamba needs you!

[Jafula]

Hey,

In case you don't know, I'm the developer of Jamba. If you don't know what Jamba is, stop reading now.

I have dropped my day job in favour of spending my time developing my own intellectual property to sell. One of the consequences of this, is no regular income. I'm looking to cut costs and 3x WoW a month is a luxury that can be cut. A year ago, I dropped down to triple boxing from five boxing as three toons is the minimum I need to develop and test Jamba.

A few really nice people have made the effort to make a donation towards Jamba. Thanks! I have been using this money to pay for my WoW accounts. I can continue to do this, if I keep getting donations. See where this is going? With the money I have from donations I can pay my WoW subs up until the middle of August.

So my proposal is to you, the Jamba user and fan; next time you buy a Keyclone license or pay your ISBoxer/GameCommanderPro/WoW subscription fee, consider donating a small amount to Jamba and hopefully if a few of you do that, I'll be able to play past August (and I might hack on Jamba some more as well...)

Jamba will be two years old in August (I started writing in August 2008, was released 4th Sept 2008)!

BTW, I like Jamba, I am reasonably active on these forums and I think I have done a decent job of maintaining Jamba so far. If I end up leaving WoW, I'll be back as soon as my income picks up again.

Also re: Jamba features, someone in the Jamba thread suggested a bounty for features, so if someone wants to start a discussion along those lines, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for reading this far!

Cheers,
Jafula.

P.S. If you decided to donate, you can find a donate button at http://wow.jafula.com/addons/jamba and please note the donation currency is in GBP, so make sure you know what the exchange rate is for your currency before you plug in an amount.

FIRST!!!
Bwahahaaa, I have always wanted to do that. :)
Thanks, Jafula. It's a great addon.

[warbringer]

I'm going to make the switch from keyclone to ISB in a bit. When I do, i'll donate to you as well since mutlboxing simply isn't the same withoout Jamba. Keep it up Jafula!

[Daeri]

I created my paypal account a few days ago because I'm going to need it for a purchase I'm planning. I'll credit it with a few more bucks to be donated to you :)

Will transmit the call to the French forums as well. (edit : done (http://www.dual-boxing.fr/forum/showthread.php?tid=1884))

[Redbeard]

Ill hit you up on payday Jafula (next Friday).

Thanks for all your hard work.

Hello jafula:

1) you have done an amazing job for the wow boxing community, many of use can't imagine boxing without jamba. hats off to you. I just hope you had some fun along all the hours of coding & bug fixing :)

2) some people (like myself) are not a big fan of donating money. I will give a present rather than money for a birthday for example. In the past I've donated hardware parts to open source projects rather than making a paypal donation. It's just a personal preference, not really based on objective reasons.

If your goal is to use the donated money to extend your wow subscription, then how about the idea we can get you a free month of gametime? If anyone is starting (over), he/she might give you a whisper. You invite them and with the RAF you get a month for free. Another option might be that all 'old school' boxers who took a break set you as the ... (insert proper english word - the guy who invites you to reactive their account). I can imagine that when a few ppl do this, your gametime will stack fast.

Just an idea :)

And best of luck with your new project.

I have nothing but respect for you and your amazing addon, WoW wouldn't be the same without it.

Hi Jafula!

I just wanted to post that your doing an awesome job and i will also be donating. I tried yesterday at work, but my pay pal login would not work with your website due to my authenticator having issues with your site.

I will definitely find a way around my problem to donate. :)

Take care and I definitely hope you find a job you love!

Thanks for the French forum notice. I appreciate it. And thanks for your hard work translating the addon as well.

1) I love coding, so yes, it was definitely fun (but it has its boring parts).

2) RAF would be a good way to go as well; but I imagine many boxers would want the RAF for themselves for the 3x experience.

Thanks for the luck re: the new project!

I think if someone hasn't played for 3 months you can scroll of ressurection their account.

It doesn't link you in anyway except when they buy gametime, you get a free month (or a few I'm not sure how it works?).

So I think perhaps if some people are coming back for Cata perhaps they could PM you and you could rez their accounts if their happy to provide you there e-mail.

You can also rez an account with a server/character name :)

[lightstriker]

i donated after 0.4 release. It is an amazing work. Sadly I have been unemployed since then.

[OzPhoenix]

Jafula,

What a FANTASTICALLY useful add-on this has been for me. I'm an All-Paladin 5-boxer so I'd be right royally screwed without follow strobe (ok, maybe not screwed, but surely frustrated as hell by now... lol).

The auto-purchasing, proc notifier, taxi, auto-sell, all so very useful in reducing or eliminating the mundane aspects of multiboxing.

I've just donated some money then, and I'll be happy to again to see this excellent add-in continued.

[Emenems]

Donated. I cannot think about multiboxing without Jamba, thanks!

[Catamer]

donated... love this addon

[Shodokan]

If you play on US servers, i'll buy you gametime for three accounts for 4 months each shortly. Send me a PM if you do and i'll send you some timecodes.

I could be up for that!

Sweet, thanks, I plan to keep hacking away on Jamba. I've got Jamba running on the 3.3.5 test realm and Jamba seems to be working...

[Thyristor]

Donated because your addon is a must-have and you do amazing work!

You dseserve to be able to keep going.

[Darxider]

Thanks for a superb addon, multi-boxing would be so much harder without it! Have donated and wish you every success in selling your IP. :-) Will do again like you suggest whenever I need to pay subscription on Inner Space and WoW subscriptions.

[Krycek]

Author of Jamba deserves a donation from here too.

[boxblizzard]

i'l pop a donation when i can because this addon is amazing and have been using it since the release and it really has made boxing come alive, if i win the euro millions you never know might get a little more than you can handle :)

[128z]

should keep you going for a couple of months

keep up the good work

[wokka]

Bump, and donated. You mentioned Bounty, how much for an option in Jamba to enable the <I Win Button>?

Thanks for the hard work, I know everyone is saying that, but mboxers would be severely limited without your addon. Care to share your other project if its related to mboxing, wow, etc?

An I win button would take all the fun away! My other projects are not wow related, so nothing new coming from me in that regard. I want to keep Jamba going and add new modules when I have the time, plenty of life left in WoW yet.

Thanks for your donation. And thanks to everyone else who donated as well.
