01:00 <+Ardonik> Sorry.
01:01 <+Ardonik> Part of the reason I'm here is to understand more about what the interdictor team has done.

01:05 <@Donny> What's going on guys.
01:05 <@selcouth> Ah
01:05 <@Wohali> Here's Donny.
01:05 <+Ardonik> Hi, Donny.
01:05 <@Donny> Hi.
01:05 <@Wohali> We have feeds from Baton Rouge that are coming from some of the Wikimedia folks,
01:05 <@Wohali> including ChrisBradley.
01:06 <+Amgine> <nod>
01:06 <+Amgine> Certain of your irc channels are key locked; are these channels available for paying clients?
01:07 <+Ardonik> Also, can we have a round of introductions now?  I'm not familiar with who's who.
01:07 <@Donny> ok.  Mike has has gone to sleep for the night.  Can you send them and I'll get them too him in the morning?
01:07 <@DamYankee> btw amgine pls do not post that press release until further notification it has NOT been cleared by donny and camp crystal
01:08 <@Wohali> Amgine: The key locked channels are there only to assist us in organizing what amounts to virtual chaos.  We use them to hand off tasks between various groups.  AFAIK we are not soliciting payment for any of this information; our goal is to inform, not to profit.
01:08 <@Donny> I'm Donny.  Stripey shirt guy.  Tech guy.  In New Orleans.
01:08 <+Amgine> Yes. You can silence all reporting by saying "this is off the record".
01:08 <+Amgine> Wohali: Thanks for that clarification.
01:08 <@Donny> Mike is interdictor.
01:08 <+Ardonik> Donny, what role do you serve with the interdictor team?
01:09 <+Amgine> Donny, I'm Amgine, aka Wayne Saewyc, an administrator and contributor on Wikinews.
01:09 <@Wohali> I'm Joan Touzet, one of the irc daemon developers, and a long time supporter of using IRC to disseminate information in times of crisis.  My experience started with using IRC during the Gulf War.
01:09 <+Ardonik> Donny: I'm Uche Akotaobi (aka "Ardonik"), from Wikinews and other Wikimedia projects.
01:10 -!- mode/#interdictor-media [+o logan|] by DamYankee
01:10 <@Wohali> I'm presently in Tokyo, Japan, but based out of Toronto, Ontario Canada.
01:10 <@Wohali> (I'm actually on vacation, but being 13 hours ahead makes logistics for the north american contributors a bit easier.)
01:10 <@Donny> Ardonik:  I don't really server a role.  We all do everything.  Sig is mainly the pic guy.  Mike/Interdictor is the blog guy.  I'm a little bit of everything, I also keep all of the irc channels happy.  
01:11 <+Amgine> <chuckle> Have you contacted ja.wikinews.org Wohali?
01:11 <@mathx>  hi.
01:11  * Ardonik nods
01:11 <@Wohali> amgine:  <hah> Not yet.  My Japanese is fair, but not *that* good.
01:11 <@mathx>  Ardonik: im the guy who got annoyed with 1000 postings on the interdictor blog of "good luck!" drowning out the useful informational posts (like 'url to find loved ones' etc)
01:12 <+Ardonik> mathx: :-)
01:12 <@mathx>  people on the net are idiots and abuse the narrowcasted bandwidth cuz they love to hear themselves talk.
01:12 <@mathx>  (like me!)
01:12  * DamYankee grins
01:12 <+Amgine> <grin> Contact [[User:Aphaia]], she is fluent in English, German, French as well as japanese
01:12 <+Ardonik> For the record, that was off the record.
01:12 <@mathx>  So I went to irc to see what peopel were saying, and lots of info was flying about DirectNic/interdictor/Krystal Outpost people, so we decided to wiki it all
01:12 <@DamYankee> a double negative i love it :-))
01:13 <+Ardonik> My understanding is that you work for DirectNIC in New Orleans.  Can you clarify?
01:13 <@mathx>  from being on irc when there were perhaps 15 people, to suddenly seeing 250 people join (because of slashdot and the blog announcing irc), at around midnight EDT my time, within an hour we had a wiki and 3-4 other channels going. and it went from there.
01:13 <@mathx>  I do not. Donny does.
01:13 <@mathx>  of all of us, only Donny here does I think.
01:14 <@fugoo> I'm a shmoe in North Georgia, osx nut who moved through the ranks from data stream summarization through to operations planning and 24/7 scheduling [offshore sailing experience]
01:14 <+Ardonik> Okay.
01:14 <@selcouth> Donny is the one in blue stripes on the webcam if you are watching right now.
01:14 <@mathx>  Im in toronto and I've done media-via-irc/wiki stuff before (with openflows.org), so this kinda fit.
01:14 <@DamYankee> most if not all of us are puregeek thru and thru
01:14 <@fugoo> concur
01:14 <@mathx>  i have some traditional and online media experience
01:15  * DamYankee speaks for himself only though :-))
01:15 <@mathx>  tho i am definitely a geek.
01:15 <@fugoo> old school *nix/internet/IT
01:15 <@mathx>  same. 
01:15 <+Ardonik> Donny: where was your team during Hurricane Katrina?
01:15 <+Amgine> mathx: be warned, I will attempt to recruit you.
01:15 <@Donny> Yes, I work for directnic.  I am the Senior Vice President.  I've been here for about 6 years.  I manage all of the programmers.
01:15 <@mathx>  (find my first tangle with the media on the internet via usenet in '91...)
01:15 <@mathx>  Amgine: heh.
01:16 <@fugoo> correction oldschool = 32 here, apple Lisa power user at 9.. 
01:16 <@mathx>  I should check your site out
01:16 <+Ardonik> Donny: and what made DirectNIC decide to stay online instead of evacuating?
01:17 <@Wohali> amgine:  We've been working independently of your community, but then ChrisBradley got involved and we started to forge a closer relationship.  I myself have mostly worked on internal corporate wikis for the past few years, in conjunction with my jobs.
01:17 <@Donny> Ardonik:  All over the country.  From texas, to south carolina.  Peoplere were everywhere.
01:17  * Ardonik nods
01:17 <+Amgine> Wohali: Wikinews is the red-headed stepchild of Wikipedia, but we have a growing net presence and it would seem our programs should work well together.
01:18 <@Donny> Ardonik:  My wife and on left on Friday to go to Tennessee.  Sig called me on Saturday and asked me where I was going, I said if you are going to hang out at the office, I'll just come and stay there.  That was the decision to stay.
01:18 <+Amgine> However, this interview is supposed to be about writing an article about interdictor on Wikinews.
01:18 <@mathx>  you should do one on using irc to setup a slashdot-like news gathering effort thats much more realtime than /. :)
01:19 <+Ardonik> Donny: so it was never anything formal, really.  You just stayed on the weeked before Katrina struck.
01:19 <@mathx>  (once this one is done heh)
01:19 <+Amgine> <grin> Funny you should come up with that exact comparison... But actually, I see you as much more like newswires than /.
01:20 <+Ardonik> Also, I'd just like everyone to know that this interview has a relaxed atmosphere.
01:20 <+Ardonik> No pressure or anything.  I'm just happy that y'all are here.
01:20 <@Donny> Ardonik:  Nothing formal at all.  I got here think it was going to be me and Sig and we would just work all day and night.  I brought a half loaf of bread, a pack of ham, some peanuts, cookies, and apple jacks.
01:21 <+Ardonik> Donny: :-)
01:21 <@mathx>  Donny: ha! how did you get all that planning and food in place then?
01:21 <@Wohali> Amgine:  There's a long tradition of using IRC in this fashion, so it's no wonder that we're able to get the word out faster than even the wire services.
01:21 <@mathx>  (sorry dont mean to take over the interview, just really curious)
01:21 <+Ardonik> mathx: no worries!
01:22 <@Donny> When I got here, sig, myself, Mike/interdictor, and crystal were here.  Then later on 3 other people joined us, Chris Anderson, Jim McCallum, and James Winston.  We all rode out the storm on the 11th floor.
01:22 <+Amgine> <nod> I worked on Starlink in the mid-80s; much the same concept.
01:23 <@mathx>  Donny: so when did you all figure out it was more serious and start locating long term supplies and protocols?
01:23 <+Ardonik> Donny: was your team expecting the storm, and were you in any danger?
01:24 <@Donny> mathx:  We provide our employees with lunch everyday.  It's a real high-tech lunch, bread, cheese, and (ham/turkey/chick breast).  So we had plenty of sandwich stuff.  But twice a week we have either hotdogs or pizza.  We had some corndogs for a "special occasion".  But we did have a bunch of other things like soup, little debbie snacks, and cleaning supplies already.
01:24 <+Ardonik> Donny: how long did the storm last as your group experienced it?
01:26  * Ardonik tests the mic (tap, tap)
01:26 <@Donny> mathx:  I went to bed around 2am.  And it was getting to be pretty bad at that point, but we all needed some sleep.  I went to sleep on my office floor, and around 5:45am somebody came in and woke me up and said that the building was creaking and that I needed to get up.
01:27 <@Donny> We rode the storm out like anybody else would on the 11th floord of a building, we just had fun.  We have a balcony on the 11th floor, so while the wind was blowing on the other side of the building we were on the balcony enjoying the wind and seeing things fly through the air.
01:28 <+Ardonik> Jesus
01:28 <@Donny> Around 6:20am we lost power so we went down to our data center which had power because we had a generator and that's when things really started to get scary.
01:29 <+Ardonik> So you were forced to ride out the rest of the hurricane from the basement level.
01:30 <@Donny> We started hearing windows break, we didn't realize that our windows were double paned, and Sig an Mike were standing about 2 feet away from one of the windows when a big piece of metal flew from somewhere and crashed into the window and broke one of the panes.  That's when our instincts took over and we started preparing for the worse.  
01:31 <+Ardonik> From the 11th floor?
01:31 <@Donny> We moved bookcases in front of the windows in the data center, which are the windows that the webcam is facing out of by the way, and we use cat-5 to type 6 of them together with a file cabinet in for good measure.  We tied all of them to the door and too some shelving we had in the room as well.
01:32 <@Donny> Basement level?  No.  10th floor.  One floor down from our main office.
01:32 <+Ardonik> Okay.
01:33 <+Ardonik> Did the bookcases hold out during the remainder of the storm?
01:33 <@Donny> The storm was real bad from about 4am until 2pm or so if I remember right.  So it was a long experience.  Actually, my window in my office blew out at 3:45pm, I remember that one.
01:34 <+Ardonik> Ten hours.
01:34 <+Ardonik> Not an experience most of us would care to repeat!
01:34 <@Donny> The windows in our build room, where we have been staying never completely broke both panes.  So the bookcases didn't really help any.  But we did lose 4 windows inside the data center itself.  But we did have a wall between the windows and the datacenter anyway.  So nothing was effected.
01:34 <+Ardonik> Now, you were basically barred in the data center.  Was internet or phone working during that time?
01:35 <+Ardonik> Where you able to call loved ones and tell them where you were?
01:35 <@Donny> Internet was up, all of the fiber is under ground here.  Phones were down.  There were aboput 100 other people from other companies and building engineering that rode out the storm in the building as well.
01:36 <+Ardonik> Donny: Okay, so there were a lot of people in that building.
01:36 <+Ardonik> I'm really glad you all made it.
01:36  * DamYankee nods
01:36 <@Donny> There were no calls in or out for at least 3 days.  Except, my dada could always get through to me for some reason, it was really weird.  So he told everybody how everything was going.
01:37 <@Donny> Originally.  But most left after the first day of no power.
01:37 <@Donny> That should have been by dad.  Not dada.  :)
01:37 <+Ardonik> Yes.  :-)
01:37 <+Chiacomo> Where was your dad calling from?
01:39 <+Ardonik> With its underground fiber intact, did your data center never lose connectivity as a result of Katrina?

01:43 <+Ardonik> What I'd like to know is how "interdictor" turned from a small group of people around the country into what's essentially a household name at this point.
01:43 <@DamYankee> ardonik actually id like to remain here for a little while longer
01:43 <+Amgine> what points would you like to bring out, DamYankee?

01:44 <@Wohali>  /. posting of the LJ
01:44 <+ChrisBradley> I am honored to have voice among you
01:44 <@selcouth> Yea, the IRC channel #interdictor had around 200-300 people

01:44 <@Wohali> chris: Please be quiet unless you are contributing to the interview.  My apologies if this seems abrupt :)
01:44 <@selcouth> It had to be moved to another server because it was growing too quickly

01:45 <@Wohali> snaxxy: Can you introduce yourself and your activities?
01:45 <@selcouth> And got slashdotted later that evening
01:45 <@Wohali> ardonik:  Yes, tho I suggest fact-checking that
01:45 <+Ardonik> Wohali: yeah.
01:45 <+snaxxy> Hi, I have been assisting in irc channels for the last several days
01:45 <+Ardonik> Hi, snaxxy.
01:45 <+snaxxy> I started out as an op, but consider myself to be a morale booster
01:46 <+snaxxy> we have a lot of volunteers who have dedicated countless hours to this project
01:46 <+Ardonik> So /. linked to your live journal.  Did the LJ exist before the storm?
01:46 <@selcouth> As a result we had a peak of 1566 users in the news channel on Friday and 864 in the chat channel
01:46 <@Wohali> snaxxy also has many contacts directly with the relief effort, in RL.
01:46 <+snaxxy> that's correct
01:46 <+Ardonik> snaxxy and selcouth: when were #interdictor and its related channels created?
01:47 <+snaxxy> that's a question for selcouth
01:47 <@selcouth> #interdictor was created 6 days ago
01:48 <+Ardonik> Why did you establish the livejournal in the first place?
01:48 <@selcouth> The scanner channels, chat channel, and other various news channels came right after that
01:48 <+Ardonik> Was the goal originally to help get feeds out to people and coordinate information?
01:48 <@selcouth> Mike (interdictor) did the LiveJournal to share with his friends
01:49 <+ChrisBradley> The goal was to save lives :)
01:49 -!- Fuel3 [n=pdpcbot@pubserv.modwest.com] has quit [Remote closed the connection]
01:49 <+snaxxy> I am here through a livejournal connection- when I first "friended" interdictor, he had a little over 200 friends and from there entered into irc. I consider myself to be a irc fledgling, but the wonderful folks here have been extremely patient and helpful with my learning curve.

01:50 <+Ardonik> Was the interdictor team the only internet-connected group of people on the ground after Katrina?
01:50 <@Donny> Will have to continue in 20 minutes...  Military is here right now.
01:51 <+Ardonik> Donny: Okay.
01:51 <@Wohali> As far as we can tell, yes.  At one point, only 3 buildings had power:  City Hall, the Bell building, and direcNIC.
01:51 <@selcouth> They took a server over to City Hall at one point to get them back up
01:51 <@selcouth> Yea
01:51 <+Ardonik> selcouth: so the authorities that arrived on the ground naturally came to you to coordinate efforts.
01:51 <+Amgine> Thanks Donny.
01:52 <@selcouth> (for clarification I'm not in NOLA. I was an early helper via IRC)
01:52 <+Ardonik> selcouth: noted
01:53 <@Wohali> ardonik, amgine: I am a native of New Orleans, but haven't lived in the city for many years now.
01:53 <+Amgine> What is the expected status of DirectNIC and the current "Forced Evacuation" orders?
01:53 <@Wohali> My grandfather was directly affected, which lead me to assist here in as many ways as possible.
01:53 <+Ardonik> Wohali: is your grandfather okay?
01:53 <@Wohali> Amgine: I think we'll know more when Donny gets back from speaking to the military.
01:54 <+Amgine> <nod> That's why I'm staying online... <grin>
01:54 <@Wohali> Ardonik: Yes, but it was a harrowing effort for a very old man who had a heart attack in the process.  I blogged what happened to him at http://www.atypical.net/
01:54 <+Ardonik> Wohali: my god.  Glad he's okay now.
01:54 <@Wohali> Once they finally got him out of St. Bernard Parish via helicopter, they simply dropped him at an I-10 intersection, where he waited alone for hours until a passing ambulance driver took pity on him.
01:55 <+Ardonik> Wohali: How long was he waiting alone, and when was this?
01:55 <@Wohali> The logistics are more FUBAR than is widely reported; CNN/etc got the hype correct but they have been focusing on the high-visibility efforts
01:56 <@Wohali> ardonik: Everything is summarized in the blog.
01:56 <@Wohali> Monday.
01:56 <+Ardonik> Wohali: noted.
01:56 <+snaxxy> I am in Austin, TX, and am helping the Capital Area Food Bank with their relief efforts, when I am not at my day job. The food bank took in 1.5 million pounds of food last Saturday- some of that was directly airdropped to I-10, Baton Rouge, NOLA, other areas of LA, and Mississippi...One load was picked up by a group of Marines, who've been working non-stop. They would not accept any of the supplies, only food, the need was
01:57 -!- Fuel3 [n=pdpcbot@pubserv.modwest.com] has joined #interdictor-media
01:57 -!- Fuel3 was kicked from #interdictor-media by DamYankee [Kick!]
01:57 <+snaxxy> CAFB predicts it will take at least 6 mos to a year to re-establish supplies to food banks and pantries across the nation.
01:58 <+snaxxy> The support from the communities have been nothing but overwhelming.
01:58 <+Ardonik> Can someone can tell me which authorities first approached the interdictor IRC channels as a way to coordinate efforts?
01:58 -!- Fuel3 [n=pdpcbot@pubserv.modwest.com] has joined #interdictor-media
01:59 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: Your sentence about marines and food banks was cut off for me after "the needed wa..."
01:59 <@Wohali> Ardonik: Also, the famed interview with Mayor Nagin - an unedited version, is back online (see our wiki)
01:59 <+Ardonik> Is #interdictor directly involved in relief efforts now?  and in what way?
01:59 <+Ardonik> Wohali: do you have a direct link?
02:00 <@Wohali> www.atypical.net/mm/nagin.mp3
02:00 <+Ardonik> Wohali: thank you.
02:00 <@Wohali> Ardonik:  The scanner channels that we transcribe, we get that info directly to various RL contacts (e.g. thru snaxxy) as well as inform those who live in the area (e.g. interdicter, other channel denizens)
02:00 <@Wohali> these are pasted to #interdictor-digest, which is logged as well
02:00 <@Wohali> the log: http://nola.heavycomputing.ca/%23interdictor-digest.html
02:01 <+Ardonik> Wohali: so your job is to take the RL scanner feeds and translate them on IRC 'round the clock?
02:01 <+snaxxy> Ardonik: my sentence ended as: They (USMC) would not accept any of the supplies (diapers, bottled water) only food (canned meats, granola bars), ready to eat was the highest priority.
02:01 <@Wohali> That is one of the largest efforts under way here.  Unfortunately we do not have enough volunteers to keep transcribing every feed we find.
02:02 <@Wohali> Our greatest need are folks who can volunteer 1 or 2 hours to help transcribe
02:02 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: what became of the untaken supplies?
02:02 -!- mode/#interdictor-media [+o Fuel3] by ChanServ
02:02 <+snaxxy> If I could address the volunteer call first-
02:02  * Ardonik nods
02:02 <@Wohali> by all means.
02:03 <+snaxxy> my greatest concern for this project is the need for folks to assist, we have had volunteers literally contributing 12-24 hours STRAIGHT to irc channels. This is not good- 
02:04 <@michaelloftis> [ if you need me please directly say michaelloftis so my client alerts me ]
02:04 <+snaxxy> this is NOT traditional irc, in that the circumstances surrounding the creation is so tragic. This places additional stress on our ops, and volunteer staff.
02:04 <@Wohali> everyone you see here has contributed >12h at a stretch
02:04 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis: noted
02:04 <+snaxxy> yes- I think I've had 8 hrs of sleep over the last four days.
02:04 <@michaelloftis> [ because, as being talked about...alll of us are very busy ;) ]
02:05 <@Donny> ok.  I can continue now.  The 82nd airborne played a surprise raid on our data center while half of our people were sleeping.  Don't like having guns pointed at my head.
02:05 <+Ardonik> Wohali, snaxxy: wow.
02:05  * Wohali holds off waiting for donny here
02:05 <+Ardonik> Donny: are you telling me that you were raided during this interview?
02:05 <+Amgine> Donny: May I ask, how is DirectNIC planning to deal with the current "Forced Evacuation" orders?
02:05 <+snaxxy> [will address untaken supplies after Donny]
02:06 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: go ahead
02:06 <@Donny> Yes.  We were raided.  They saw our light on.
02:06 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: well, wait for Donny
02:06 <+Ardonik> Donny: are they telling you to evacuate?
02:07 <+snaxxy> [I'm not as quick, so i'll be prepping]
02:07 <@Donny> Amgine:  There is a forced evacuation of citizens of New Orleans.  We are part of the rebuilding team.  We are excluded.  Now our employees can't go hang out at their houses though.
02:07 <+Amgine> <nod> So, in effect, you're being quarrantied?
02:07 <@Donny> We don't have to evacuate.  
02:08 <+Ardonik> Donny: for the record, what was the loca time when the 82nd airborne visited you?
02:08 <+Ardonik> *local
02:08 <@Donny> We just can't live in the city, that's basically it.
02:08 <@Donny> 12:45am.
02:08 <@Donny> They were "protecting the security of the city".
02:08 <@Donny> Sorrry.
02:09 <+Ardonik> Donny: where is your crew living?  At the datacenter, or do some of them go home?
02:09 <+Ardonik> Donny: don't apologize.
02:09 <@Donny> They were "protecting the security of the city and the building."
02:09 <+Amgine> <grin> It is good to know we have such protections in force, yes?
02:10 <+Ardonik> Donny: and now that the order has been given to evacuate all non-rebuilding personnel, are you stranded in the city?
02:10 <@Donny> We live in the data center.  I sleep in a closet.  I sleep on 3 leather couch cushions that are taped together with duct tape.  Sig does the same.  Mike and Crystal have an air mattress I think.
02:11 <+Ardonik> Donny: at least you're not sleeping on rolled up cat-5 cables.  :-)
02:11 <+Ardonik> That was off the record, BTW
02:11 <+Amgine> Ardonik: you're the reporter, you don't say that.
02:11 <+Amgine> <grin>
02:11 <@Donny> Yes, I am glad they are here.  They may have scared us to death, but they are protecting us.
02:11  * snaxxy laughs
02:11 <+Ardonik> Amgine: :-)
02:12 <+Ardonik> Donny: so the military and NOPD are providing security to your area.
02:12 <@Donny> Cat-5 cable is good for belts though.  Sig didn't bring a belt, so cat-5 works great.
02:12 <+Ardonik> I can just imagine wearing a cat...never mind
02:12 <+Amgine> <chuckle>
02:13 <@Donny> NOPD, NYPD, about a million different police forces are here.  Plus the miliatry.
02:13 <+Ardonik> Donny: so you're not affected by either the raid or the forced evacuation.
02:13 <+Ardonik> Donny: and your team will be allowed to continue its work?
02:14 <@Donny> No, I'm not affected.  They are just a bunch of kids doing their job.  I could see their scared faces.
02:14 <@Donny> Yes, we will continue to do our jobs.
02:14 <+Ardonik> Okay.
02:14  * Ardonik scribbles furiously
02:14 <+Ardonik> Next question is for snaxxy.
02:15 <+Ardonik> I'm guessing you're the one who's obtaining the feeds that the interdictor team transcribes?
02:16 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: how are the transcribed feeds being used?
02:17  * snaxxy returns
02:17  * Wohali returns as well
02:17 <+snaxxy> I am not the best to address that- as I've said iirc, I'm more of people focused than computer, but this has given me the opportunity to learn from some of the best!
02:18 <@Wohali> Ardonik: I can take part of that question.  Our weblogs show that some of the large news agencies have been scouring our logs for info to report
02:18 <@Wohali> ardonik: As for local agencies, we have tried our best to coordinate with, say, St. Bernard parish (my childhood home) but it is VERY difficult to stay in touch
02:18 <+Ardonik> Wohali: so you're essentially providing a primary source to worldwide news agencies about the NOLA situation.
02:19 <@Wohali> Yes, for sure.
02:19 <+Ardonik> Wohali: and when something happens on the ground, you report it first.
02:19 <+Ardonik> Essentially.
02:19 <+Ardonik> Wohali: no one is compensating any of you for this, correct?
02:19 <@michaelloftis> [ feeds come from various volunteers on the internet...are mirrored to higher bw servers and then transcribed by our volunteers ]
02:20 <+snaxxy> Ardonik: and it's also helped us communicate with necessary authorities as needed - although I represent myself as an individual, I have the knowledge of how to feed important information to the authorities who might be concerned.
02:20 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: can you describe this in more detail?
02:20 <+Ardonik> How has providing the feeds helped you get in touch with necessary authorities when needed?
02:21 <+snaxxy> We've had so much information feeding in, it's hard to recall the specifics.
02:22 <+Amgine> Can you recall any single incident?
02:22 <+snaxxy> However, I forwarded scanner transcript of a possible hazard in LA to someone with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
02:23 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: how did you know who to contact?
02:23 <+Ardonik> *whom
02:25 <+snaxxy> [trying to find the words]
02:26 <+Ardonik> Can I also ask if the interdictor channels have been used to connect loved ones and handle other non-official matters?
02:26 <@Donny> Can I answer this?
02:27 <+Ardonik> Donny: go right ahead
02:28 <@Donny> About 5 days ago, one of our building tenants was wanting to come in and get some servers out of our building.  He found us via the interdictor channel.  
02:29 <+Ardonik> Without #interdictor, the servers would still be in your building.
02:29 <+Ardonik> What were they used for?
02:29 <@Donny> The only reason why it was funny is that he also has 3 porsches and 1 300z in the garage.  And they are 50 feet away from our generator and we see them all of the time.  We even had taken pictures of them.  And when he asked if his cars were ok, and he said that was them were were amazed, he's taking me for a ride in a few weeks.
02:30 <@Donny> Yes.  His servers would still be here.
02:30 <+Ardonik> Thanks for reminding me about the pictures.  :-)
02:30 <@Donny> They run some type of oil field company, not sure exactly.
02:30 <+Ardonik> I saw them yesterday in a blog link.  Are those being taken by your group, too?
02:31 <@Donny> The pictures?  
02:31 <+Ardonik> Yes.
02:31 <@Donny> Yes, those are all from us.
02:31 <+Ardonik> I was trying to dig up the link before the interview.  Can you remind our readers again?
02:32 <+snaxxy> [ready]
02:32 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: proceed anytime.
02:32 <+snaxxy> [first unaddressed question]
02:32 <@Donny> There really isn't one page, http://www.sigmund.biz/ is a good start.
02:33 <@selcouth> (http://sigmund.biz/kat is the main picture link, there are other mirrors everywhere)
02:33 <+Ardonik> Thanks.
02:33 <+snaxxy> regarding the Marines "untaken" goods?
02:33 <+snaxxy> Not untaken, so much as they didn't need to accept for that particular pickup on Saturday. The food bank was scheduled to be closed Sunday and Monday for the holidays- and rightly so, because their staff have been working 12-14 hour days. Food is still moving in and out of our food bank.
02:33 <+snaxxy> CAFB [austinfoodbank.org] is working with Second Harvest to move food where needed- emergency shelters, including Austin and Baton Rouge, and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank has set up a secondary site, in Baker, LA. Here in Austin Home Depot donated an old site, which is where the bulk of donations are being processed through.
02:33 <+snaxxy> The outpouring from our community is staggering- an emergency call for help at the Austin Convention Center shelter went out on a local TV station during a 10 o'clock broadcast, for 200 volunteers- by midnight 1000 people showed up to help.
02:34 <+snaxxy> But this is a mere glimpse, this is going on nationwide. If you want to talk about interconnectivity? Myspace bulletins have been flooded with volunteer calls, benefits, housing availability...
02:34 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: outstanding!
02:34 <+snaxxy> Heck, I received a Myspace bulletin from George Salisbury of the Flaming Lips regarding a collection of goods in Norman, OK, and when I requested it be substantiated, he quickly provided the necessary information.
02:34 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: did Austim become a major focal point for getting needed supplies into NOLA and other flooded areas?
02:35 <+Ardonik> *Austin.
02:35 <+snaxxy> A local musicians coop which was trying to fill apts, opened their facilities to NOLA musicians as well.
02:35 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: in addition to all the displaced residents of NOLA itself, many of whom are being moved to Texas.
02:35 <+snaxxy> Ardonik: Well, I don't know what's going on with the other areas of the state, but I do know that Austin has been the hub for most of Central Texas
02:36 <+snaxxy> okay, that gave me the chills...
02:36 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: and you've been at the center of it all.  :-)
02:36 <+Ardonik> I don't wish to spread the cold.
02:36 <+snaxxy> you know what makes it worthwhile?
02:36 <+Ardonik> What?
02:37 <+snaxxy> to come home tonight, exhausted, little sleep- at my day job, than to a special site that Home depot donated to CAFB to use?
02:37 <+snaxxy> and helping out here to keep tempers in check?
02:38 <+snaxxy> the smile on the face of my new neighbor- a close friend just moved out, and said she hoped some nice people moved in...Today a family from NOLA moved in.
02:38 <+snaxxy> I said hello....
02:38 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: a displaced family from NOLA now lived nextdoor to you?
02:38 <+snaxxy> to see that UT Medical Branch has a large RV with dental services outside of the Austin Convention Center.
02:39 <+Amgine> Sorry to break in, but are there photos of the DirectNIC people/spaces which are licensed under a free license like CC?
02:39 <+snaxxy> yes, they moved in this morning.
02:39 <+Amgine> Other wise, and publicity shots of the team?
02:39 <+Ardonik> Yes, this is a side issue.  Wikinews prefers to publish images that are compatible with its licensing scheme.
02:40 <+Ardonik> We prefer free licenses with no strings attached.  Public domain, creative commons, or the like.
02:40 <@selcouth> Somewhere in the thousands of pictures that Sig took there are some shots of the team. You will have to talk to Donny/team about license on them.
02:40 <+Ardonik> So if you can provide us some pictures under a free license, that would be great.
02:40 <+Ardonik> selcouth: understood
02:40 <@michaelloftis> I'm sure Donny or Donny can poke mike or sig or whoever is taking the pictures to get the license mentioned officially as CC
02:41 <@michaelloftis> i'm pretty sure that was the intention anyway.
02:41 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis: if you guys can do that, we would really, *really* appreciate it!
02:41 <+Ardonik> A question for the entire team now.
02:41 <+Amgine> Thank you.
02:41 <@Donny> thousands? tens of thousands, just got another 10k from sig.  I give approval for any article that mentions us to use the pictures.  How's that?
02:41 <+Ardonik> Where do you guys see interdector heading in the next few weeks?
02:42 <+Ardonik> When do you anticipate a return to normalcy?  Will there every be a return to normalcy?
02:42 <+Ardonik> *ever.
02:42 <+snaxxy> when they find Snowball!
02:42 <+Amgine> That's okay, Donny; we'll load them on Wikinews as Fair Use images, and include links back to the sources.
02:42 <+Ardonik> Snowball?
02:43 <@michaelloftis> Ardonik: if you can get her to explain that, i owe you a beer.
02:43 <+snaxxy> of all the heartache and tragedy of this week, the story of the little boy who's dog was taken from him, because it wasn't allowed on the bus from NOLA to Houston.
02:43 <+snaxxy> s/who's/whose
02:43 <+snaxxy> he cried so much he vomited...
02:44 <+Ardonik> :-(
02:44 <@Donny> I have no idea where interdictor will go over the next week.  It was started as just a way for Mike to tell his family how the storm was and if he was doing ok.  As things change so with the blog.
02:45 <+Ardonik> Donny: how can the community help your efforts?
02:45 <@Donny> I think for at least a year this city will still be in some turmoil.  New Orleans was never normal, but now it's just a mess.
02:45 <+Ardonik> Earlier I heard mention that there were more than enough people in IRC, but more effort was needed elsewhere.
02:46 <+snaxxy> Whaa?
02:46 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: Yes.  I don't recall who said this exactly.
02:46 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: I could easily be misquoting.  :-)
02:46 <+snaxxy> I worked an 11 hour shift on Saturday out in the sun at the food bank, and then came home and helped out in channels until 6 am.
02:47 <@Wohali> Ardonik:  Most importantly I want to thank every single volunteer who has come in, provided information reports, done transcription, helped maintain the wiki, provided us with links to their own efforts, and the like.  Without you we couldn't have gotten as far as we did.  Even those who have come online to chat with the direcNIC staff, they've been invaluable in keeping spirits high! :)
02:47 <@Donny> The biggest thing the city needs is just a good cleaning.  Once that is done, the levee system needs to be rebuilt from scratch, if not, we should just tear the city down.  Engineers shoudl rebuild this city, not politicans.
02:47 <+snaxxy> I have a mailbox full of emails to return for "Special Sessions team" for the food bank, because i am helping with efforts outside their normal operating hours...
02:48 <+Ardonik> Wohali: :-)
02:48 <+Ardonik> Is the interdictor team calling for more volunteers?
02:48 <+Ardonik> How can the community help?
02:48 <@Wohali> Ardonik:  I'd like to put in a special plug for St. Bernard Parish, harder hit than downtown and still underreported by the media.  Direct info from the parish can be found at http://www.st-bernard.la.us/ , and they have info on there for how to help.
02:49  * Ardonik nods
02:49 <+Ardonik> The water outside is still poisonous, right?
02:49 <@michaelloftis> Well...interdictor IRC definitely needs more volunteers.
02:50 <@Wohali> We are definitely calling for more volunteers to help transcribe, to help organize, to help organize the organizers...no one in this group is "indispensable," it's a self-maintaining organization.  People have really put their hearts into it, and if you care and want to help, but can't do anything other than sit in front of your computer -- you can provide great assistance on IRC.
02:50 <+snaxxy> i wouldn't use the word poisonous
02:50 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis, Wohali: thanks
02:50 <+snaxxy> but there is the potential acute risk involved.
02:50 <@michaelloftis> Esp. if they can cover the wee hours.  We've got a pretty big staff and transcriber vacuum from 12-6 or 12-8A (MDT).  Also we'd love to transcribe more feeds if we could get more staff to do that...we're working on better organizing and making the process easier too.
02:51 <+snaxxy> dysentery being the primary concern at the moment.
02:51 <@Donny> Ardonik:  Volunteers?  Actually we already have 4 people in replacing me and Sig tomorrow.
02:51 <+Ardonik> Donny: here's hoping you get more sleep.  :-)
02:51 <@michaelloftis> Longer term the team has talked about possibly staying around as a 'crisis central.'  This is an idea that I helped to start to push out, but that really I think has been here all along.  Someone just needed to give it a voice.
02:52 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis: so the feed transcription lulls at night (in the US.)
02:52 <+Amgine> This interview seems to be winding down. Are there any questions you think we should have asked?
02:52 <@Donny> You are not kidding.  And if you have ever been in a data center before, getting rid of the constant humming of the AC will be great as well.
02:52 <@Wohali> ardonik: Precisely why it's serendipitous that I'm in Tokyo on "vacation" this week.  :)
02:52 <+Ardonik> Wohali: :-)
02:52 <@michaelloftis> Freenode is extremely happy to have us here, and would love to see us continue.  Thats from lilo and all the other Freenode staff (including myself since I wear that hat here too)
02:53 <+Amgine> <grin> Thank you michaelloftis. What is the opinion at EFNet?
02:53 <@michaelloftis> Donny: the foam packing material they ship the servers in makes a GREAT bed :D
02:53 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis: just so you know, the hard work all of you are doing both online and offline is greatly appreciated.
02:53 <@michaelloftis> That I don't know, I guess no comment from them? :)
02:53  * DamYankee nods
02:53 <+Ardonik> It'll be our pleasure to write up an article on your efforts.
02:53 <@michaelloftis> The EFNet opers team was unavailable for comment? LOL
02:53 <+Amgine> <nod>
02:53 <@michaelloftis> sorry that last is OTR ;)
02:53 <+Ardonik> michaelloftis: ;-)
02:53 <@Donny> And pillows from popcorn shipping material filled in a trash bag works goof for a pillow.
02:54 <+Ardonik> One more question.
02:54 <+Ardonik> A small one.
02:54 <@Wohali> Amgine: Speaking as an EFNet operator myself, I am happy to see that a network with a bit more structure can be used to assist in the efforts.  I have put aside my squabbles with freenode and lilo in the greater interest of supporting the survivors and rescue efforts.
02:54 <+Ardonik> Who takes the pictures, and isn't it dangerous outside?
02:54 <+Amgine> \o/ Wohali
02:55 <@Donny> Sigmund/Sig Solares.  He's our CEO.  Yes, it is dangerous.  But he loves taking pictures.  Some of them are so good it's amazing.
02:55 <@Wohali> amgine: I was around for Gulf War efforts on EFNet, so I am happy to bring this spirit of dissemination of important information back to IRC as a medium.
02:55 <+Ardonik> Lastly, who all would like their real names used in the article?
02:55 <@Wohali> You may use my real name.
02:55  * Ardonik nods
02:56 <@Wohali> list both it and my handle please.
02:56 <+Ardonik> Certainly.
02:56 <@Donny> Real names are fine with us.
02:56 <+Amgine> <cheers even more - Wohali uses "handle"!>
02:56  * DamYankee is ok w that
02:56 <@Wohali> amgine: I'm older than I look.  :)
02:56 <+Ardonik> I only have a few.  Wohali's, mainly.
02:56 <+snaxxy> I agree with Wohali- I don't know if a "mission statement" has ever been discussed, but I feel that the focus should be on minimizing loss of life at this time of need, and put aside differences whether its what irc you embrace, or whether you support Bush or Paypal!
02:57 <+ChrisBradley> ChrisBradley has always been Christopher J. Bradley and will be that until he passes on :)
02:57 <+snaxxy> Just help get the correct and critical information out to the community.
02:57 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: *heartily* seconded.
02:57 <@selcouth> :)
02:57 <+Ardonik> ChrisBradley: easy to remember :-)
02:58 <+ChrisBradley> TY Ardonik
02:58 <+snaxxy> snaxxy is Debbie Cerda
02:58 <@DamYankee> ardonik  if you get w wohali she can get you all the names and info for all the people who have helped including quite a few who were not present this evening
02:58 <+snaxxy> can't forget the_Tick! RAWR
02:58 <+Amgine> generator at the top towers just crashed.
02:58 <+Ardonik> DamYankee: Okay
02:58 <+snaxxy> [comic relief for -chat]
02:59 <+Ardonik> Will any of you be available post-interview if we have additional questions?  Wohali, maybe?
02:59 <@Wohali> Yes, I will, for a time
02:59 <@Wohali> I am offline shortly to try and relax a bit, this is a very stressful operation :)
02:59 <+Ardonik> Wohali: understood
02:59 <@Donny> I will be until around noon tomorrow and then I won't be until tomorrow night.
02:59 <@DamYankee> ill b available for a while
02:59 <+Ardonik> Where should we get in touch with you?
02:59 <+Ardonik> #interdictor?
03:00 <@michaelloftis> Yeah there is a bit of history between Freenode and some of the other IRC networks out there, and I for one am VERY glad Wohali came to help here too.  That is totally awesome of her.
03:00 <@DamYankee> yeah ive been telling the people who work w me to go home get some dinner and relax  its very stressful for some of us
03:00 <@selcouth> Actually #interdictor-media is probably best?
03:00 <@selcouth> Being that #interdictor is so crowded and moderated
03:00 <+Ardonik> selcouth: alright.
03:01 <@michaelloftis> uhm yeah if you need to use any material from me feel free to use my name and handle, though my handle is normally ZOP
03:01 <@Wohali> Yes, keep media-related questions in this channel please.
03:01 <@Donny> ok guys, going to get some rest.  Good night.
03:01 <@selcouth> A lot of us idle in this channel so just mention someone's nick
03:01 <+Ardonik> Alright.  Again, I'm Uche Akotaobi, and it's been a real pleasure interviewing all of you.  :-)
03:01 <@Wohali> ardonik:  You can also credit Ken Chase, handle "math"
03:01 <@selcouth> Night Donny!
03:01 <@DamYankee> nite donny
03:01 <+snaxxy> I've actually been kicked once because i said i was going to bed for four hours one night..finally went to sleep 10am-2pm, good thing it was a long holiday.
03:01 <@michaelloftis> Honestly I got sick of everyone asking whats ZOP so I've been using my real name for the interdictor effort heh.
03:01 <@Wohali> Good night Donny
03:01 <+Ardonik> Wohali: thanks
03:01 <@Wohali> michael: what IS zop?  :)
03:01 <+ChrisBradley> Doitachmachte Ardonik
03:01 <+snaxxy> Ken Chase is the wiki God
03:01 <@michaelloftis> Wohali: don't you start too!
03:01 <+Ardonik> ChrisBradley: ??

03:05 <+Amgine> This is only a brief about the visit of the 82nd airborn.
03:05 <+Ardonik> Thanks, guys.  It's an honor to be able to talk to the people that made interdictor happen.

04:05 <+Ardonik> If I was to point my readers to a homepage for your team, which URL should I use?
04:05 <@DamYankee> its also private which may or may not b important
04:05 <+Ardonik> Oh, it's unimportant
04:05 <+Ardonik> I know about the wiki--should I use that?
04:06 <@snaxxy> DamYankee?
04:06 <@DamYankee> im not even here <g>  but yeh the wiki is fine  just "not" the admin wiki ok snaxxy
04:07 <@snaxxy> rity o
04:07  * Ardonik scribbles furiously
04:07 <+Ardonik> Where is Camp Crystal located?
04:07 <@DamYankee> im sure wohali will have to get a bunch of data from the admin wiki but im not sure how much is private   so  we will let wohali decide re that issue
04:08 <+Ardonik> I'm not asking for any private wiki or anything
04:09 <@snaxxy> yeah, i feel more comfortable with that- since i'm not directnic...but am a contributor to nola-intel
04:09 <+Ardonik> Just a public place that you could say is the center of your efforts
04:10  * snaxxy views wiki
04:10 <+Ardonik> http://wiki.nola-intel.org/?
04:10 <@DamYankee> btw snaxxy logan might be useful in collecting some of those links if you catch him b4 he jets off  to sleep
04:10 <@snaxxy> dang, someone gussied it up, but i need to get some info up...
04:10 <+Ardonik> You all need sleep :-)
04:11 <@snaxxy> http://wiki.nola-intel.org
04:11 <+Ardonik> Alright
04:12 <@snaxxy> tell me about it, but i've still got to respond and schedule food bank volunteers- i'm providing secondary support to the Director of Volunteer Services at CAFB
04:12 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: this being in addition to the regular work you're doing?
04:12 <@snaxxy> yep
04:12 <+Ardonik> AND the IRC stuff
04:12 <@DamYankee> snaxxy is a regular saint
04:12  * snaxxy blushes
04:13 <@snaxxy> yeah, but i've been in such a zone for days, i didn't realize until today that i had forgotten to drop off the rent check
04:13 <@snaxxy> DOH!
04:13 <+Ardonik> Just curious--where is Camp Crystal?  I'll read the wiki if the information is on there.
04:13 <@snaxxy> its on Poydras...
04:13 <@DamYankee> oh qwuit that you know that aint your favorite color :-))
04:13 <@snaxxy> one sec
04:13 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: who can think of rent at a time like this
04:14 <@snaxxy> not me, obviously
04:14 <@snaxxy> but I apologized and explained why, and when i asked how to pay, she said...the usual.
04:14 <@snaxxy> nice lady!!
04:15 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: that's good :-)
04:15 <+Ardonik> I'm misusing your -media channel, aren't I
04:15 <@snaxxy> i think there is a post that has some of the FAQs
04:15 <@snaxxy> one sec....
04:17 <+Ardonik> Ooh, I'd love to have that pic of the team from Camp Crystal about now :-)
04:18 <@DamYankee> actually ardonik this is what this channel was put here for so  please  continue
04:20 <+Ardonik> I never caught selcouth's name
04:20 <+Ardonik> I'll use selcouth if I don't have permission to publish it.
04:22 <@snaxxy> 650 Poydras - Poydras Center
04:23 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: thank you.
04:23 <@snaxxy> the FAQs are actually someone's comment to a post, and appeared on the first page...but can't seem to find
04:23 <+Ardonik> snaxxy: I really appreciate you going through the effort to find them for me.

04:33 <@snaxxy> sorry

04:33 <@snaxxy> after
04:33 <+Ardonik> Who came up with it?

04:50 <+snaxxy> heh, that's ture
04:50 <+snaxxy> ChrisBradley shared some of his story with me...
04:51 <@DamYankee> the distraction is certainly welcome
04:51 <+snaxxy> this project is beneficial for him
04:51 <+snaxxy> as long as he doesnt tax himself
04:51 <+snaxxy> he's a street kid, who pulled himself out of the streets
04:51 <@DamYankee> oh yeah i remember he invited you to #batonrouge ops or something like that
04:51 <+snaxxy> ex-raver, been drug-free for ten years, and alcohol-free for 1 1/2 yrs
04:52 <+snaxxy> trying to make himself a life
04:52 <+snaxxy> yep
04:52 <@DamYankee> yeh it has given him a new view of the world as a very big place with alot of great people with their hearts in the right place and i think he needed that
04:52 <+snaxxy> although i woke to him being frantic
04:52 <+snaxxy> 'cause he was trying to get channels up, when we didnt have the vols to take care of the ones we had
04:52 <@DamYankee> he gets verrry  frantic sometimes
04:53 <@DamYankee> it takes some time to calm him but he seems to respond well to me so i know what you mean
04:54 <+snaxxy> yeah- and its a little frightening how much faith he puts in me...
04:54 <+snaxxy> i woke up and backscrolled
04:54 <+snaxxy> he's sweet
04:54 <+snaxxy> "just wait until snaxxy wakes up, she'll take care of it!!"
04:55 <+snaxxy> because he wanted me to get everyone into #baton-rouge
04:55  * DamYankee grins  i might have something to do w that

04:55 <@DamYankee> i spoke highly of you is all
