One of the last things I did before I left the forum, on hiatus, was to donate 500 BTC to Gavin's bitcoin faucet, because it had 'run-dry'. Coins which I almost put into cold-storage.
It could be worse, you could have donated ฿1,100 to get it started off, then added more later like Gavin.
For my first Bitcoin coding project, I decided to do something that sounds really dumb: I created a web site that gives away Bitcoins. It is at: https://freebitcoins.appspot.com/
Five ฿ per customer, first come first served, I've stocked it with ฿1,100 to start. I'll add more once I'm sure it is working properly.

The donation address from Gavin's faucet shows you weren't alone in making huge donations. It had 19,715 Bitcoins donated to it!
