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's not due back in Tampa until the weekend.
As timing would have it, his cell phone number -- along with everyone else'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'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's cell phone. At best, he's crammed into his Expedition in who-knows-where, with his wife, four kids, two great danes and his computers. At worst, well, I'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.
