Hurricane Frances did not effect the server in the Miami data center. In fact, the only item I backed up was the Team Speak server logs. We could do without anything else on the server for a day or so, recreate a lot of the information in a few weeks from scratch. But the communications we get from teamspeak would be a blow to everyone. So lets run down the individual items:
Server
   up and running with no issues
Web site
   up and running on DNN 2
   no issues
   I would like to have some stats on the site
   I saw a phpnuke module that displayed your IP address, ISP information and physical location. This was cool to look at, but given the ability for it to be inaccurate, especially outside of the US, I have not looked for this more then 5 minutes on search engines
   Top 5 Referral sites: This would be interesting to show, but again, who would ever look at it?
Forums
   up and running on what was going to be ASP.NET 2 forums, now
   CommunityServer:Forums 
   Statistics are still not working properly I have gone through some items at asp.net and CommunityServer.org,
   but nothing has fixed our statistics yet
   Checking a few other sites and forum posts, this seems to be an FAQ broken or quirky item
blogs
   up and running on .Text, which will be CommunityServer:Blogs
   individual blogs work great
   the blog front page aggregate statistics just don’t work at all
   OPML is not working, but I have no idea who wants this, and have not seen any .Text blog site where it did work    RSS works in individual blogs, but not the main feed
   the main RSS not working stops me from referencing the blogs on the gaming site front page
WMS9
   up and working, with issues
   the rebroadcast of The Statesman, Jack Emerett, from Cryptic Studios works great, with 12 .mp3 files in a loop rotation, no shuffle
   the Best of the 70’s & 80’s continues to be an issue
   individual files ripped from CD at 64k/44/Stereo show up on my local desktop and my local laptop correctly. If sent to the server over RDP or FTP, the server sees them as 161/44/Stereo and they play with a large amount of pop, hiss and noise.    some other files are being interpreted as 255k and higher bit rates and on WMP play sloooooowwwww. WinAMP plays them with music long pause music pause music
   other .MP3 files play fine
   okay, so maybe the files are corrupt. I also have ShoutCast and WinAMP on the server. Play the files and listen to the stream from Shoutcast, and they sound great    there is a .WMA plug-in for WinAMP, but I have not tested it
HALO Dedicated server
   up and running
   we had a return to Monday night HALO last week and it was a great time - 6 hours of fun
