Looks like Duke has not logged into dnf in at least 2-days, which would account for not responding yet.
Ron is in Philadelphia, getting his daughter settled-in for her freshman year at Penn. He&
#039;s not due back in Tampa until the weekend.
As timing would have it, his cell phone number -- along with everyone else&
#039;s numbers -- got wiped out of my desktop telephone system when we lost power in Miami during Hurricane Katrina. If anyone else has his cell, this would be a good time to reach out to Ron.
On a more ominous note,
Sid Parfait (Domainut, Dropwatch.com) has likely been wiped-out by Katrina. His home in Slidell, Louisiana was hit by the eye-wall of the storm, which reportedly breached the levy and sent Lake Pontchartrain pouring into Slidell.
I spoke to Sid as he was preparing to evacuate, but he got a very late start may not have gotten far, with highway traffic in all directions at a virtual standstill. He had assured me that he would call me when he reached safe haven. He&
#039;s not been online since then, nor have I heard from him, nor have I been able to reach him on either his or his wife&
#039;s cell phone. At best, he&
#039;s crammed into his Expedition in who-knows-where, with his wife, four kids, two great danes and his computers. At worst, well, I&
#039;m plenty scared.
Although unlikely, should anyone happen to hear from him,
PLEASE contact me immediately. In the mean time, prayers would be helpful and appropriate.
