This morning, there was an unexpected email waiting for me in the inbox, my first ever flattr.

Since Flattr takes 10%, you can calculate that the flattred amount is €2.00 on this thing for httping, ping for HTTP requests.

Frankly, ever since I added donate page two years ago, I was never giving a hope that I would receive anything. Last time, I had a surprising donation, it was three years ago.

I don’t even know how to create a thing, but it seems connecting to my YouTube account does help and do not need to me create any things if someone wants to flattr.

Anyway, the flattr was made on 2015-09-08 by the author of httping himself, Folkert van Heusden (flok). I am only aware of that after the transaction is finalized for September. I didn’t receive any notification after the date until now, even I do have all account notifications checked.

Nice way to start a day, wouldn’t you agree?

Thank you, Mr. Van Heusden!
