Sitepoint Helping Victims of Recent Australian Bushfires

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

Quick details:

  • Offer ends on Friday 13th February (2009).
  • 100% of the proceeds from this sale will be donated to victims of the recent Australian bushfires.
  • Choose any 5 books (in PDF format) and pay $29.95 USD.

Over 170 dead, 5000 now homeless… I hope my friends in Australia are all ok.
