Skiing- Spring Skiing

I went up to Stevens yesterday with Eric and some other friends. Conditions were great, especially in the afternoon when temperatures got up to 50 degrees and the sun came out. Seventh Heaven was great and I took some of the steeper routes down under the Southern Cross chair that I haven't skied for years due to a combination of my being out of shape and poor conditions. What a great day and I've now already almost half paid for next year's weekday pass.

I did a lot of research on hosting and co-location. Matt recommended 1 and 1 since they let you have shell access and run cron jobs on their shared servers. Eric suggested rbwtech and Peyman suggests Server Beach for co-location / dedicated servers. I'm just not quite there yet since I don't have the actual usage load to justify paying $100/month rather than $10/month right now.

Given their money-back policy I've signed up for 1 and 1 for now and this site will likely be moving there in the next couple of days. I will be doing some performance testing on the site and will report results back here.
