    Default TampaDiving.com (Cave Conditions)

    So for sometime I have had issues with my sites staying up (x64, x86, SQLServer, ADO, MDAC, yadda yadda). It has frustrated me to the point of finally doing something about it. I have finally embraced virtualization for my personal systems and now have new servers running for my sites (caves.tampadiving.com, www.karstunderwaterresearch.org). You should not experience the downtime you have seen in the past. My apologizes if you were looking for conditions or using the maps and they were unavailable.

    Other Updates
    • Changed method of displaying system overview pictures
    • Changed method of posting condition reports
    • Fixed Firefox 3.x bug experienced when attempting to add a condition report
    • Added TOPO maps to all map views
    • Resources tab for system pages (maps, pictures, videos, etc.)
    • Always new systems being added

    If you have any comments or questions please let me know. Also, I am always looking for new features to add to my site.

    Walter, you have no idea how many of us use and love your site.

    Actually, if you have a counter, you have an idea how many of us use your site. So the above statement was kind of silly, wasn't it?

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    Wow, I've visited this site before but it appears much improved. Thanks for the *unique* resource. (One stop shopping for all FL cave information. Wonderful.)

    VMWare ESX? Xen?

    Philip
    VMWare Server (no ESX Ranger -- it isn't freeware and i just got my maintenance bill at work for ESX Ranger)...But I toyed with Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V...I decided to stay with what I know.

    I am glad to know a lot of you are using the site. Like I said, I think the sites will have much higher uptime now.

    Seriously, if you guys think of anything you might want to add let me know. I am always looking to work on projects.

    It must be the command line only access...
