You really want to push this puppy? Seriously? This is what you do.

Take some of that money, Nick, Mike, whomever ... go to http://prweb.com get an account and signup for the one-time gold or premium release. Forget what it is, $50, maybe $100 tops.

Get a well-written press release made, utilize Red or Morgan.

Mike, give your email and a phone number as the contact for journalists to use.

Besides PR Web, stagger your bets (so to speak) and also send this out manually to USA Today, CNN, NY Times, the major networks news and morning shows ...

You really want to do it? That is how you do it!!

The media is dying to have something good to cover out of this tragedy. And here is an honest to goodness a courageous story. They'll eat it up if you get it in front of their faces. You only need one major outlet, in fact, to run with it and then they'll all want it.

For those that don't know, directNIC as well as some other NOCs are
located together in a high-rise in New Orleans.

Despite everyone's warnings (including my own!) some tough-as-nails guys
from directNIC stayed behind to battle the hurricane and keep the
networks online.

[snip]
While the safety of our staff is paramount and most were safely
evacuated, a small group of key personnel stayed behind to safeguard our
data center and make sure that all of our services remained online and
stable. During this time, while we spent a great deal of effort battling
broken windows, incoming water, and flying debris, our hosting and
registration services remained online and worked flawlessly.

It also mentions the power shortage, and that they are using diesel
generated power.

I remember a week or two ago people were talking about building
redundant datacenters, off-grid power, failure mitigation, etc.

I think if nothing else, this is at least a success story of building a
NOC which can provide critical infrastructure that will survive major
disasters.
