Mt. Robson, the second oldest park within the BC park system, is rumored to be challenging to get a clear enough day where you can see Mt Robson’s summit from the main parking lot. True enough, it is often shrouded in the clouds, however, I think I’ve been fortunate to be able to see the peak on several occasions. This was one such occasion in August of this year.
Tech Notes
For those of you within the web industry, hosting and development in particular, there’s an interesting post overviewing what the underlying technology is behind some of the monstrously popular sites. Check out What nine of the world’s largest websites are running on post on the Pingdom blog. This will prove particularly useful in debunking the gits at some of our ISPs (Shaw, Telus) as they try to inform the uninformed and informed alike that they are running the most conventional and reliable hosting configurations available. Nothing but snake oil salesmen I tell ya!
While I’m at it, check out this hosting company (wish I had thought of it first!)
