Please excuse the operational nature of this posting, but there are a few news items I'd like to share. This message is void of political arguments and wild, unwarranted speculation, and as such, some of you might find it uninteresting. - Genuity has opened a SEV 0 ("multiple sites down"; see NOC tour video for explanation of varying severity levels) ticket for NYC. For more info: finger ticket-1222256@tickets.bbnplanet.com - 111 8th Avenue and 60 Hudson Street are operating normally on utility power. Both of these locations are mostly unmanned, and obtaining physical access may be tough. - 25 Broadway, NYC (Telehouse) is without utility power, and has been running off generator since around 4pm yesterday. They expect their current fuel supply to last 20+ hours. Additional fuel has been secured, though transporting it into the city might be difficult.

They're viewable at <http://www.latency.net/~asr/wtc/>. I'll try to update this directory tree periodically. If you're interested in mirroring it, drop me a line off-list. - Mitch Halmu <mitch@netside.net> and <measl@mfn.org> remain subscribed to this list, despite posts made that are not only in violation of this list's charter, but are outright sickening.
