BellSouth is concentrating on repairing major cables, ensuring telephone switching centers continue to have back-up power until commercial power can be restored, as well as getting communications established for emergency personnel, city and government officials and hospitals. COX has not begun making an assessment, but did announce it was suspending billing for residential and commercial customers in New Orleans.

Cisco as a "First Responder"?
by Fergie (Paul Ferguson) 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Interestingly enough, there's an article on MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9131498/ ...that talks about all of the "gee whiz" tech stuff that is getting deployed to assist in the aftermath of Katrina: [snip] Among the first high-tech responders was Cisco Systems, which is setting up mobile communication kits and wiki-based networks to deal with Katrina's information overload. "Just wanted you to know that we will have 'feet on the wet street,'" Cisco's Lori Bush reported in a posting to fellow members of the National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue. Some of the equipment, like the Cisco kits, can fit into a search-and-rescue effort instantly. Other gadgets are being put into service on the fly, in hopes of boosting the communication systems currently being used. And still others aren't yet ready for prime time but will be tested in real-world conditions. [snip] - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.

now it's really serious in New Orleans
by Fred Heutte 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

In an running on WWL TV right now, Mayor Ray Nagin says that a planned sandbag drop to stop the levee breach near pump #6 at the 17th St. Canal didn't happen and the pump has failed, so the probability is that the "bowl will now be filled," meaning water will flood the majority of the city including the Garden District, French Quarter and CBD. If unabated the water will go to the level of Lake Pontchartrain, about 3 feet ASL, which means, for example, 9 feet of water on St Charles Street. The mayor called the missed opportunity a "blunder" and said this would unfold over the next 12-15 hours. Now it's time to really worry. fh

Which part of the transaction does this occur at? Do you have a specific URL? All of the VeriSign security seals are reporting known and trusted host and the certs are matching. They appear to be outsourcing their payment processing to Convio. It's all matching up. -M<

Ops: redcross.org certificate problems with Akamai

The donations page is Akamaized, and the certificate says "a248.e.akamai.net" instead of "www.redcross.org". I have the certificate signature available off-line. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

ATTN: Bell South of Telcove
by Chris Gilbert 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Sent on behalf of the guys over at InterNIC. They probably have better things to do, but it's the least I can do to help. [snip] If anyone who works for or has connections with Bell South or Telcove is reading this, tell us what it's going to take to get those OC3s back up and running. We will try to coordinate and make it happen. [/snip] Apparently they are down to one upstream provider. (as predicted they would loose them earlier on the list) Also: [snip] Huge convoy of fuel and generator engineer types affiliated with Bell South just moved down the street toward their building. That's where 2 of our OC3s that went down are at Bell's main. [/snip] Best of luck to everyone. -- Regards, Chris Gilbert
