Hurricane Jeanne Report 9/24/04

Vortech/MatrixReseller Service Notice:

Hurricane Jeanne is currently on a projected path to the Central Florida area this weekend.

For the safety of our staff, we will be unavailable by phone from approximately 2 AM Sunday, September 26th to approximately 2 AM Monday, September 27th Eastern Standard Time. We will continue to have technicians monitoring the entire network and responding to tickets via email both remotely and at our downtown Orlando facility.

Approximate times may vary depending on power outages and any evacuations which may be put into place between now and Saturday evening. We do expect to maintain all web and email services via our backup generators and UPS systems as we did during previous hurricanes. Please refrain from calling our phone systems during this time to help keep Florida's phone lines open for Government, power and emergency worker use only.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation,

Vortech, Inc. Staff

these hurricanes keep ruining your weekends.

Well, if you ask Dave & Alex (the overtime crooks), the storms aren't ruining their weekends!!

Check out these guys, we host them and they're supposedly going to be sending out a live feed from a boat (off the coast) on Sunday:

Hmm, perhaps its time for vortech to consider moving inland?

That should be a fun boat ride. Hope they take along their Dramamine and Life Jackets.

Why? They haven't dropped service during all of these onslaughts which I think is pretty damn good!

Set up a DC down here in Australia, guys! Then you can migrate for the winter!
