Pico Mountain in the late afternoon sun.
Friday January 26, 2007

Unlike last Saturday, today was not a ski day for me. However, I would bet that conditions this morning are great!. Light snow has been falling around the inn all morning. We have seen around 3 inches of accumulation since last night. In addition, temperatures have warmed up from yesterday to the low teens today. I am sure that friends visiting us at the bar tonight will be telling us of their Saturday conquests. I am jealous already.

Over the last 10 days or so, I have been very busy moving the web hosting service for my various web sites. (The fact that you are reading this is a testament to the move of Killingtonblog.com being successful.) For the last several months, we had been having problems with our old web hosting company. Unfortunately, our old web hosting company had fallen behind the technology curve in the last few years, resulting in several of my sites experiencing prolonged outages, primarily for email service, over both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Starting last week, I began moving my sites to a web hosting service provided by Network Solutions. I have used Network Solutions as my internet registrar for years, and I have used them to host several of my customers web sites, so they were an easy choice for me to host my websites. The inns web site, birchridge.com, was the last one moved. It completed the transfer early Thursday morning. For those personal friends who have experienced problems sending Mary and I emails over the last few months, I hope that those problems are behind us. After moving birchridge.com, our email inbox went from over 15,000 email messages on Wednesday (basically all spam) to less then 50 on Friday (virtually all real messages). And for everyone else who views our websites on a regular basis, I addition to continuing to visit because of the snowstake and the pithy prose, I hope that you find them more reliable and responsive to use.
