Thank you for your expressions of concern.

The Iowa City Press Citizen has posted an article on their website warning that Internet service in Eastern Iowa will most likely be lost soon. At first I thought it was just for those who use Quest as an ISP, but apparently Quest hosts stuff for other ISPs.

So I will most likely be absent. For quite a while. The Iowa River currently pouring onto the streets of Iowa City is not expected to crest until June 20. And then there’s the matter of waiting for the flood water to receed and then dry out.

It could be august before I return.

Take care. It’s just nasty weather there.

I remember when it flooded in Salt Lake City in 1983. They had a river running down State Street, a main thoroughfare. I also remember filling sandbags.

There are several Tiers of service providers. ATT, Savvis, and the other major players are Tier 1. They provide service to Tier 2 and 3. My former company was a Tier 3 provider. We had two different Tier 1 providers to allow us flexibility, in case of failure of one.
