Why am I not sur­prised that the Star-Bulletin has only one news arti­cle about the earth­quake posted on its front page?

Seri­ously, any­one out­side Hawaii knew much more about what was hap­pen­ing than most of the aver­age peo­ple in this state.

My home’s elec­tric power was restored 30 min­utes ago, so I am going to make a brief post before I get some sleep.

Seems I have some more mate­r­ial for my dis­as­ter recov­ery plan­ning (DRP) lecture!

Seri­ously, I hope every­one made it through the earth­quake and power out­age in good shape. I’m a lit­tle sweaty and grumpy, but that will pass.

I’m happy that the earth­quake hap­pened on a Sun­day morn­ing, when very few peo­ple were out and about. On a Mon­day morn­ing at 0707 HT, this would have been chaos dur­ing the morn­ing rush hour.

Except for Gmail on my cell phone, I’ve had no access to any of my online courses since the power first went out at 0720 HT on Sun­day morning.

I’ve extended the due date for the IS 6100 paper 3 assign­ment to Fri­day, Octo­ber 20. Looks like at least a third of the class have not sub­mit­ted the assign­ment yet. If you would like to me take a peek at your assign­ment and give you some com­ments, please send me an e-mail with the sub­ject line “Paper 3 request”
