Operation: Hunker Down!
Posted by Eddy in Maintenance, News on Sep.12, 2008.
Just an FYI, in the event that we don’t post for a few days, there’s no need to fear. It’s just that measly old hurricane Ike is bearing down to swallow up our fair coast of Texas. Ground zero happens to be Houston, which is where we’re located.
So if I do in fact lose power and am unable to update til early next week, just know that you guys rule. For real, thanks for all the great feedback on Web Zeroes.
Some cool stuff coming next week.
UPDATE, 5pm Saturday: This is your friendly webmaster, Jeff, speaking. I’ve just heard from Eddy, and both he and Nick made it through the storm alright (Daniel lives in Dallas, and I live in Austin). Eddy asked me to go ahead and update the site so that folks wouldn’t be worried about them. Eddy and Nick are both without power at the moment, but hopefully things will be back up and running in a day or two. I’ll keep you posted on here if there are further developments.

We have a Typhoon coming here, but compared to Ike… the Typhoon will seem like a sunny day. Well, good luck guys…
September 12th, 2008 on 5:39 am
A sunny day? Are you feeling Ok?

Typhoons, hurricane, and here in Australia were enjoying nice hot 30 degree days (Celcius) In Singlets and thongs.
Hope you guys are alright through the storm.

Oh man best of luck. Best we get here in Seattle is Heavy Rain and Thunder.

I’ve never actully been even a 10,000 miles near a hurricane since i live up north in canada =P
September 12th, 2008 on 7:34 am
Heh, well good luck. I’m up in North East Texas near Dallas so it won’t be much by the time it gets here. :p
September 12th, 2008 on 7:41 am
Oh damn. Well, good luck guys!
September 12th, 2008 on 7:45 am
I live in the Dallas area, so I will just get some rain. Good luck guys!

No kidding, I was born in Houston and raised in Sugarland. Ironically I go to college in Florida now and I haven’t taken any direct hits yet from hurricanes in 10 years living here.
September 12th, 2008 on 10:53 am
Ha, weird. I grew up in Sugarland and then went to Florida State…

Yeah, I’m new to Houston (Spring, to be exact), so the most exciting weather I’ve seen is the leftovers of hurricanes that tend to piss out on San Antonio.
I was wondering what you guys were gonna do. I had assumed that your server was in Houston, but you don’t seem too worried about that.
Where is your server, btw?

One of my teachers said that one of her friends drove by a gas station in Winsburrow,TX today. Gas there was $5 a gallon. O.o

We don’t even come close to having the resources necessary to host it in-house.

I wish that Hurricane Ike had come a little closer to us here in Miami. I had no school days off just because a big cloud decided to go south.
September 12th, 2008 on 6:43 pm
I make it RAIN, bitch!
September 12th, 2008 on 10:39 pm
Ouch! Good luck you guys. Hope all goes well down there in ol’ [Insert Area Here].

Holy S#!t, $5 a gallon!!?? And I thought us New Yorkers had it bad, highest ever I saw was $4.27! That really sucks, how do Texans survive that kind of crap?
September 13th, 2008 on 6:02 pm
Good to see y’all alright. Now make more stuff for me!
September 13th, 2008 on 6:23 pm
All, is lost. ALL IS LOST!
September 13th, 2008 on 8:03 pm
Not exactly priority one at the moment. The city is a mess, and the park near me is torn to pieces. No power at my place, writing this from my brother’s. Just wanted to check in and let people know we’re all good.
September 13th, 2008 on 8:17 pm
Dude, is your place okay? Besides the obvious power outage, did any extreme damage befall your home? Cause that would really suck.
September 13th, 2008 on 9:19 pm
Dude is all your computer and all other stuff okay?? If not, CURSE YOU IKE, CURSE YOU!!!!
September 13th, 2008 on 9:30 pm
I hear some people’s power could be out for a week. I live in Fort Worth, but we didn’t get any effects of Ike.
September 14th, 2008 on 2:10 pm
Heh, well that was just there and most likely because of hurrcain Ike. Normally it’s around $3.60 or so and it didn’t go up to $5 where I live. :p
Yeah, I’m about 2 hours away from the Dallas Fort Worth area and all we got was some rain. How high did gas go up there?
September 15th, 2008 on 6:13 am
WOW!!!! The highest gas price i’ve ever seen was 2.4 dollars per gallon (had to change from liters) in north america, but ive seen gas prices around 25.00 a gallon in some other places =/
September 15th, 2008 on 4:03 pm

September 15th, 2008 on 4:31 pm
Are you serious or did you misplace the decimal? 25 DOLLARS A GALLON!!?? That’s insane! That can’t possibly be right!
Edit: Please tell me that you misplaced the decimal.
September 15th, 2008 on 10:00 pm
Stay safe! The hurricane did a real number on the coast (It screwed up the electricity pretty bad ;-;). Hopefully Entergy will have things up and running soon. Hurricanes so suck.
September 23rd, 2008 on 4:57 pm
I didn’t =), and that was in 2003 and the price is now higher……that was the daily regular price, not the highest XD
