Why we moved to Linode

I recently built a project (http://www.coatapp.com - A simple weather forecast application with clothing suggestions) on Linode and couldn't be happier. The disk speeds are very impressive, and super useful for apps that deal with large amounts of data that gets updated frequently (i.e. weather data).

This previously posted benchmark shows some of the difference between Linode and a few other providers (from 2009): http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison

Cool project, would be really nice to have celsius support though.

Ok, I'll look into that too. The app only offers weather forecasts for the continental US so I originally assumed most folks were interested in fahrenheit, but I can see the appeal of celsius :).

My zip codes don't work in your app, but I really like the idea.

07030 - Hoboken, NJ 07647 - Rockleigh, NJ

It looks like those zip codes weren't in the original zipcode dataset. I'm adding them now, thanks for pointing that out! update: It was actually a bug in the code, fixed now :)
