Re: Help!!!! I Need Help!!
You really want to push this puppy? Seriously? This is what you do.
Take some of that money, Nick, Mike, whomever ... go to http://prweb.com get an account and signup for the one-time gold or premium release. Forget what it is, $50, maybe $100 tops. Get a well-written press release made, utilize Red or Morgan. Mike, give your email and a phone number as the contact for journalists to use. Besides PR Web, stagger your bets (so to speak) and also send this out manually to USA Today, CNN, NY Times, the major networks news and morning shows ... You really want to do it? That is how you do it!! The media is dying to have something good to cover out of this tragedy. And here is an honest to goodness a courageous story. They'll eat it up if you get it in front of their faces. You only need one major outlet, in fact, to run with it and then they'll all want it. |

Re: Help!!!! I Need Help!!
let it rip kids... give those boys in NO something to make them feel good.. it wont take much, get them on tv.. they are in the middle of HELL
this is not spam, or an ad opportunity, we want these guys who are risking life and limb to do their job. NANOG has already said this about them Received-SPF: none (crufty.chroot.net: domain at merit.edu does not designate permitted sender hosts) Message-ID: <4315B4FF.8090307@LainOS.org> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2005 15:47:43 +0200 From: Chris Gilbert <Chris@LainOS.org> User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 (Windows/20041206) To: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Katrina: directNIC Stays Online - Blog + Images References: <OF0F1D761A.B3CECAAD-ON8025706E.004837FC-8025706E.00490744@radianz.com> In-Reply-To: <OF0F1D761A.B3CECAAD-ON8025706E.004837FC-8025706E.00490744@radianz.com> For those that don't know, directNIC as well as some other NOCs are located together in a high-rise in New Orleans. Despite everyone's warnings (including my own!) some tough-as-nails guys from directNIC stayed behind to battle the hurricane and keep the networks online. [snip] While the safety of our staff is paramount and most were safely evacuated, a small group of key personnel stayed behind to safeguard our data center and make sure that all of our services remained online and stable. During this time, while we spent a great deal of effort battling broken windows, incoming water, and flying debris, our hosting and registration services remained online and worked flawlessly. [/snip] Link: http://www.directnic.com/katrina.php (Pictures too!) It also mentions the power shortage, and that they are using diesel generated power. I remember a week or two ago people were talking about building redundant datacenters, off-grid power, failure mitigation, etc. I think if nothing else, this is at least a success story of building a NOC which can provide critical infrastructure that will survive major disasters. -- Regards, Chris Gilbert ----- End forwarded message ----- the netops world is in awe of the intestinal fortitude of these guys. i myself am very worried about them, to sickness even.. these are my friends, my brothers. for gods sake just pray for them. this is anarchy -Matt http://mgno.com/

Re: Help!!!! I Need Help!!
An email campaign is going out for you...
-------------------------------------------------------------- Wow, Katrina was huge. We are a group of people that were left behind as the hurricane arrived, so we could protect our interests. During this time we spent a great deal of effort battling broken windows, incoming water, and flying debris. The looters are insane - right outside of our window they're pushing around shopping carts full of goods. We have been documenting all of our experiences, taking pictures, and have a live streaming webcam setup from downtown New Orleans. Our journal is a place for people to share first hand experiences of the disaster, and to just talk with like minded people. We are in an ISP data center running off backup generators, so luckily we can still be online! We'd love to see you here to show your support. The red cross needs you too. Please visit us by clicking here. Stay safe! All the crew from NO. --------------------------------------------------------------

Re: Help!!!! I Need Help!!
This needs to be pushed as hard as possible! I hope everyone jumps on this, even if it's just to show the DirectNic people that they're in our thoughts and how awesome they are!

Re: Help!!!! I Need Help!!
It hit the big time
From the live journal blog Diesel Situation Update? (Anonymous) 2005-09-01 15:24 (link) Hey guys I got news of your BLOG from CNN on Sirus satellite radio. Great to hear your holding down the fort. Thumbs up on that. They're going to make a movie about you guys! That's my prediction! Any news on your Diesel situation? Your an inspiration to humanity everywhere. Keep up the good work! |

Maybe some physical addresses to where their families are evacuated to? I have already donated to the red Cross and Noah's Wish but I would like to also take care of some of our "family" personally.

Buff's blog link just made it through a homeschooling list here in Virginia - if they only knew what his "other" job was, LOL. But those ladies are some real networkers and they'll send some traffic his way.
I understand wanting to protect the business and the servers but guys if it comes down to it GET THE HELL OUT!!! Buff it's no time to be stubborn, your life is more important! ((((((HUGS)))))) to all of ya down there and sending good vibes... |
