This seems like a useful thing for Future Me to remember:

Back up your DNS records:

If I did this nightly, I'd have a handy-dandy zone file that I could use to import into $SHINY_NEW_SERVICE right now.

UPDATE: This is relevant for backing up your DNS stuff _if you are already on DNSimple_, since it uses the DNSimple gem.

I'd love to import my zone files into either (or both) DNSimple and Route53 so I can try switching over.

Now, if I could only get into my Zerigo account to get my zone files. Alas!

UPDATE: Zerigo's dashboard is working for me again as of 6:30 EDT. I'm trying to export my zone files, but I get "Error exporting domain for download. Please wait a few minutes and try again." I'll keep trying.

2) My own positive reinforcement, after losing over forty pounds with this site, is that I just graduated from "obese" to "overweight" today. HURRAH, I'M OVERWEIGHT! :) http://www.tikaro.com/2010/09/im-overweight-isnt-it-fantasti... Disclaimer: I'm r38y's minority partner in the site.

Yup. We call the tips "happy" money, and the penalties "sad" money. We like happy money! Plus: what's more valuable -- a site that skims a couple of bucks off of failure, or a demonstrated and proven way for folks to achieve their weight-loss goals? Hell, we'll write a book and get our faces on Oprah! :)

Hey, this is John, I'm Randy's minority partner in the site (and so far, I've lost 43 pounds, though as someone with an interest in the site, my own success isn't really relevant.)

Anyhow, I like the actual foot _photo_, not just an integration. It might just be personal preference. I use a withings scale, and weigh in daily, but then I "capture" that with accountability by taking an actual photo of my actual feet. It's a trivial task for a once-a-week thing, and it brings that integer number into the real world.

As far as the "why not charity", people often ask that. Our feeling is that if you want to donate to charity, great! Donate to charity! Don't entangle that with your goals. Besides, then your interest and the charity's interest are at odds. Consider donating your _winnings_ to charity, so your interests are aligned! You can check out the FAQ on the site for more of our thoughts on that.
