What a bowl of fubar soup we got served for dinner
tonight. Yummy. Fuel is still a no-show. No ETA on my resupply schedule
tonight.
Was waiting on the street freaking out the Federal Cops
guarding the Bogs building until the actually came over to talk and found
out who we are and what we're doing.
Then Homeland Sec comes
driving by and yells water and hums a 20 ouncer at our feet without
slowing down. I know I'm not looking too hot right now, but come on. I'm
standing out there with my flashlight on in the middle of the road,
obviously waiting on a convoy.
Bunch of stressed out,
trigger-ready police and military types driving by suspicious as all hell.
It's not safe just standing out on the street even if you look like you
belong there.
Anyway, I'm gonna sit tight up here until something
definite appears on the street.

Message
from a Co-Owner
As an owner of Intercosmos Media Group, Inc., I would like
to thank all of you for the overwhelming support you have shown our
company, our group, and our fight. This week has been a nightmare for
everyone involved. The team at Outpost Crystal has done an outstanding
job. There are many employees behind the scenes who have also committed
themselves to working 16 hour days amidst complete turmoil, to keeping
direcNIC.com up and operational.
Unfortunately all of these
people are scattered across several states and telecommuting via hotel
connections, pc cards, dial-up connections and even wi-fi hotspots. This
dedicated group needs a temporary home until New Orleans is
rebuilt!
Please help us to find a temporary home for 55
employees. We are looking for the following:
Short-term
solution
6,000 - 8,000 square feet
Ready to occupy, desks, chairs,
etc
Workplaces for 55 people
Nearby datacenter
preferable
Internet connectivity
Nearby housing
Texas, Northern
Louisiana, Georgia, & Florida are preferable...
Please send
any information to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I also want to take this
time to thank all Internet providers who have offered assistance in
secondary collocation, bandwidth and hardware. We especially want to
thank National Net (http://www.national-net.com),
Marlin Web Hosting (http://www.marlinwebhosting.com),
and EV1 (http://www.ev1.net). They
have been invaluable with their assistance.
Best
regards,
