Hurricanes and Brave Souls
Not trying to capitalize on a horrific event even though this seems like it’s doing just that but after reading an entry in my Google Reader just now about a New Orleans data center’s employees riding out the storm in their data center plus providing coverage from their windows, I had to sit down and write this down just in case anyone else might stumble across this blog and find theirs in passing.
Their About Us page is quoted below:

We work for a group of related companies that includes Parked.com, Intercosmos Media Group, directNIC.com, Zipa.com, and ModernDomainer.com.
Geez! These folks have been through this before and it’s happening again. That’s some bad luck and it’s gotta stink that it’s happening again so soon. But enough with my drival, let me link you to thier blog so you can get the real scoop, as it happens. They’re keeping things updated almost by the minute!
