mt robson
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!)

Nice shot!
And I particularly like the nouptime site. Trust Us. We are experts. As soon I see someone proclaim they are experts I run. Why are the self-proclaimed experts so often the most idiotic and ignorant? Probably because they get away with it most of the time, reinforcing their mediocrity. Asshats.
It’s a good thing I have a decent host :-)

Well, your host tells you up front “I have no idea what you’re talking about” and then asks you “So, how do I do that.”

Yes, he’s humble and open that way :-)
