This afternoon I’ll try to start catching up on some of the tech news I’ve neglected this week. Frankly it seems fairly insignificant contrasted with the disaster along the Gulf Coast. There have been some news items though. I don’t know at this point how I’ll deal with catching up, I may summarize and lump a few things into the same posting.

New Orleans Datacenter STILL up and running
Of course the thoughts and prayers of the nation and indeed the world are with those in the Gulf Coast area of the U.S. and particularly the situation in New Orleans. I ran across an amazing story of a webhost that is based in New Orleans and their datacenter is still running. They are keeping a blog of the goings on there.

Lots of news…
It looks as though there are quite a few things that I have skimmed over the last two days and haven’t posted on. I’ve been preoccupied with a couple of projects and frankly following news regarding the hurricane along the Gulf Coast. I thought I’d pass along two links that I’ve been following today specifically with regards to the situation in New Orleans. This is as much for my reference as anyone elses, but… The Times-Picayune’s Breaking News page, some detailed reports from a paper in the New Orleans area, they had to evacuate earlier today due to rising flood waters and are now keeping things updated from a temporary office. Also, WWltv.com has a blog page up with brief updates as they get them. These two sites have been sources that seem to lead the networks in updates. (The news networks seem to get bogged down recycling earlier stories.)
