    I did get word today that the circuit was done being installed this morning. I'm hoping to get all the equipment physically in the data center this week. Just need to coordinate the move (getting people to help, etc.)

    Just so people realize, this is a considerable amount of power at any data center. We are not HUGE, but any means, but getting both more power to the data center, and adding more power for a customer does take time. We added another 800 AMPs last year as our needs have continued to grow and it was a MAJOR undertaking! http://home.mia.net/~jeremy/powerupgrade/

    My advice... Be patient!

    When it comes to spending any amount over $50, I don't spend easily.

    But the decision to donate $500 for this worthy cause was a no brainer. Of course, the added incentive of the free ad was very enticing, no doubt.

    DP is an excellent resource that I use almost every day, from checking the progress of my mission critical keywords/keyphrases, to keeping up with the latest happenings with Y! and G.

    I always seem to find myself linking to a DP post from one of my blogs. Yep, good stuff.

    I've learned a great deal just by hanging out in these forums and absorbing all the great tips and advice from all the smart members who post here. I'm confident that DP will only get better with time, under Shawn’s stewardship, of course ;) .

    I encourage anyone and everyone to donate whatever you can. When you think about it, it’s easy to invest in something that’s constantly giving back.

    The new equipment looks great! My 2 workstation / 3 server network I have running here seems like a 80's technology in comparison.


    Shawn: I may want to add another link to your donors page. Is 2x donations = 2x links acceptable? RSVP whenever.

    Cool.

    I've donated $2,000 in total, a challenge of sorts: who's going to beat me as the top donor? :D ;) :D

    Was waiting for new version of MySQL to move the forums to the new server... but it's out now, and when I get back from Costa Rica, that will be something that happens next week.
