BLOG UPDATE @ 6/7/2011 – 7:51am

The last 24 hours have definietly been a unique experience. I dedicated all of my efforts outside of my job to trying to help with communications on the fire (mostly through Facebook, Twitter, and http://www.wallow.us. It has been such an intense time, but an amazing experience. Yesterday I helped the local call center located at the school’s District Office get properly segmented and secured with their data network. I installed an Untangle box which is doing most of the work for me now. Once they were back up and running I got ready for the live stream which was a whole other experience. Trying to live blog and run a camera at the same time is not an easy task. I hope that the stream was useable enough that it was beneficial for people. At the peak of the meeting I noticed 1740 people watching it live. I’m not sure if that was the highest number, but the highest that I saw. At midnight while reading through the amazing emails that I got from people all over the country I pulled up the analytics for my blog, and saw that i had over 10,000 views yesterday. I hope that this site is helping out, and hope I can continue to provide accurate information to everyone affected by this fire. Thank you for making this such a beneficial experience.
