How long do you get to be in Uganda?
kevinfairchild
Nice. I came close to getting one of these because I love Petzl, but I just didn't need all of the colored lenses and stuff. If my Princeton Tec ever dies on me, I'll probably consider one of these. I take it you've had good experiences so far with this one?
thetyson
indefinitely :)
thetyson
absolutely. i like the red lens because doesn't wake up my wife on those early morning runs out to the farm.
saunieindiego
I 'awesomed' your (indefinite) stay in Uganda. What are you doing there?
Amazon Web Services
pretty cheap for data backup
amyuhrich
How does this compare to something like Dropbox?
thetyson
honestly, i haven't done the cost comparison. i've been using www.jungledisk.com to back up media files for a while and i'm happy with it. i'd guess AWS becomes too expensive when your bandwidth grows -- if you try to stream your vids from the cloud or something. right now, as a backup only, i pay about $0.67/mo to store something like 10GB at AWS.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't heard of JungleDisk either (clearly, I'm out of the loop here).
