On Pictures from the 'Escape The Don' ride

Well I have to admit the speed at which the MapMyRide data loads is not exactly impressing me here. Guys you may be using Apache version 2.0.52 on Redhat Linux but your site is still too damned slow. What kind of database backend is that? MySQL? (Okay that was just mean, I'm sorry.) The secret is cluster and use a big pipe, and what is the PE router? I like the Cisco CRS-1 but I am told Juniper makes some nice routing technology too.

Its official boys and girls, Michael has spent too much time in the data centre!

For those of you who basically understood none of the above, don't worry about it, I was just being a total computer nerd, but hey when outside of my day job can I show off my fancy computer networking know-how?

Anyway as promised here are the images. Both were taken by Dan prior to the start of last night's hammer and drop feast.

I think I was explaining something when this was taken. And I am sure Thi was telling me how I would be so fast tonight, minutes before I end up breathing the dust his back wheel kicked up.
