I have several servers hosted with GoGrid, and every time I reboot one of my cloud servers, the system clock is incorrect. The server isn't a member of a domain, so I just have the OS set to sync with an Internet time server.

I package our server releases into zip files using a batch file (Windows), running the command-line version of WinZip. Previously we did this sort of thing "by hand" but I developed the process of automating it with a batch file.
