I’m obsessed with NOLA
I am officially obsessed with Interdictor’s blog. For those of you who don’t know, this blog is being run by one of the guys at DirectNic, the sister company for Zipa.com, the fine folks who provide the wicked crazy bandwidth for SA. Well, usually, but there was this matter of a small little FUCKING GODAWFUL HURRICANE and they’re headquartered in New Orleans. Right now they’re holding the colo building like a fort. On my list of things that I’d do if I had money: Go to NOLA and help folks like this out.
They managed to keep SA up for somethlng like 72 hours after the hurricane hit on sheer tenacity and good goddamn luck but it finally ended, as their connections to providers keep dropping and nobody shows up to help them fix it. On the upside, the loss of SA’s bandwidth sparked yet another memorable quote from R.Lo:
“Our last-ditch plan is to change the forums into a podcast, then send RSS feeds into the blogosphere so our users can further debate the legality of mashups amongst this month’s 20 ’sexiest’ gadgets.”
