Touched

For some reason, I am very touched by this (appended below):

Intercosmos Media Group, Inc. wants to thank all of its directNIC.com customers for the overwhelming support and inquiries into our well-being.

We are based in New Orleans and located in a secure and dry skyscraper, where our datacenter has remained fully operational.

Our staff is safe and well -- some have been working around the clock in New Orleans to keep clients running smoothly, and other employees have left to safer locations to keep an eye on the network from afar.

We are pleased to announce that we haven't lost service once during this entire disaster, and we have three weeks of backup power secured, and more resources are on the way.

Additionally, backup options outside of New Orleans are being implemented as an added precaution.

Thank you for your support and know we are working hard to maintain our excellent services even during this catastrophe.

Sincerely,

Sigmund J. Solares, J.D., M.B.A.
CEO
Intercosmos Media Group, Inc.

I host some of my domain names with them. And am very touched by their tenacity to survive without any downtime whatsoever. It gives hope that people who believe in something with all of their hearts, people who are willing to sacrifice to ensure that their customers' welfare are taken care of, can survive the bleakest catastrophe. To the extent that the customers themselves are blissfully unaware that anything was amiss.

My brother says that they must have had huge arrays of UPS and power generators to last them 3 weeks without power, and multiple locations / redundancy, too.

I am proud and honored to be hosted by them.

This week has been a rather crummy one for me. But I didn't really have to look far to notice the gems in our midst. People who lead by example. People who care. People who share, even when they don't have much themselves. People who make you feel that better things are ahead, if I would hold on just a little bit longer. Thank you.

I feel so encouraged and inspired by them. And humbled, too - for the many times that I have been oblivious to the needs around me. May I be continually spurred to reach out and help out and to just do it*.
