New Orleans Disaster Takes Out the XODP Blog

The XODP Blog is hosted by a service that operates out of New Orleans, but up until today -- Thursday September 1st, 2005 -- my hosting service had proven itself to be both hurricane- and flood-proof. Even so, when I checked my e-mail this afternoon at about 2pm PDT, I found that my website monitoring service had notified me twice that the XODP Blog was suffering from interruptions in service. Truth be told, I couldn't care less about the status of my websites: Right now, my thoughts and prayers are with my friends in New Orleans as well as being with everyone else who is suffering the wrath of Hurricane Katrina.
