Greetings, folks!

If you've been following OGA for a while, you're probably already aware that I've been considering serious funding options so that I can work part time on OGA, and eventually even transition to working on it full-time if funding allows.  I've been putting it off for several months now due to time constraints, but the last few days of disastrous performance issues have made it clear to me that I no longer have enough free time to even tackle the routine maintenence this site requires in order to stay in working order, particularly given the increasing amount of traffic we've been getting lately.

The performanc issues are now fixed, but I had to take two days off of work to do it, and given that I do hourly contract work, that isn't something I can afford to do very often.  The upshot of my job is that the hours are very flexible, so that even while my contract is in effect, I can work up to half time on maintaining and improving OGA, but in order to do this, I need continued funding so I can keep paying the bills.

While I had originally been considering Kickstarter, Patreon is a better business model for what I'm trying to do, since the monthly pledge model allows me to devote time to OGA continuously, rather than raising larger sums of money with periodic Kickstarter campaigns.

If you've found that OGA has been helpful to you in the past, please consider supporting this site with a monthly pledge.  Click the link below to help out:

Thanks in advance for your continued support!

P.S. I would be happy to address any questions or suggestions that people have either here or on Patreon.

Sometimes the problem is something so stupid you don't think to check it.  The disk was full.  Now it's larger.  Problem solved. :)
