Live weblog from downtown New Orleans. This guy works in the DirectNIC datacenter in a New Orleans skyscraper. He says they haven’t lost power and should be able to keep online for the next three weeks. There are pictures of looting, etc.; Poydras web cam.
What cops looting? Say it ain’t so!
I took our Honda Civic Hybrid over to the dealer to get the ECM recall done last week. My wife drives the car the most and she reports noticing slightly more “pep”. I could see why that might be if, as Honda reports, the fuel mixture was too lean. Our mileage seems to be running the same: high 40s to low 50s, so no difference there.
I’m gonna give a plug to the dealer, Ragsdale Honda in Westborough, MA. The building is shiny new and their service department is open to 9 p.m. and friendly as well.
On a related note, a day or two before we brought the car in for the recall, the engine light came on. They diagnosed the light and found problems with the catalytic converter and sensor. Luckily these items are under warranty.
