Just joined the forum - looks pretty useful.

Currently living on Vancouver Island after too many years in Calgary (traffic = yuck!).

Came to this forum while investigating hosting / co-location solutions for some companies that I do consulting for.

I've been in the IT business since 1980 - came to it via Chemical Engineering and writing reservoir simulators (FORTRAN). Ended up working in pretty much every area of IT.

Currently also teaching Java programming at a dintance-ed University.

Cheers,

-Richard

I live in Calgary and the traffic does suck so I just ride my bike to work 22km each way!

Where in Vancouver island? I just spent a year on Thetis Island off of Vancouver island, a half hour drive from Nanaimo. :)

The address says Ladysmith, but we're actually just south of the Nanaimo airport.

I went to the Ladysmith church, right by dairy queen off of the main highway every week during that time. I have been in the small nanaimo airport (if you want to call it that!) 4 times now :)

I really enjoyed the Ladysmith lights around Christmas time.

Small world :P
