Changes to how I tally the budget:
Added 2019-07-30 08:50:53 +0000 UTCStarting next month, I'm going to switch to using the payout totals to calculate the budget, instead of just rounding up and tacking it to the budget counter all willy-nilly every month and every time someone new pledges.
This method should be simpler, and it means I don't have to keep track of different pledges as they come and go.
Side note, I'm thinking maybe I might buy another hard drive for my computer. It mostly depends on how much I can clean out on the current one, though, since I don't want to spend any of the budget unless it's necessary. Most of the time, my storage is around 10-20% free; this is after I deleted a bunch of older games I don't play anymore and transferred my video collection to an old external hard drive. I think the next things on my list to toss are probably going to be my older .blend files for projects that are just too old and outdated to recycle.
I know, I know, hard drives aren't reaaallly necessary for rendering, but when I'm bouncing close to the cap, it takes minutes to save a rendered pic after it's done rendering, choking up the computer in the process. Still, I'll focus on tidying up the one I'm currently using for now.
