Looks like updates are relatively slow. Early November he said there would be a exchange recovery site put up, then late in november he claimed that it is in progress and hopefully will have something up soon....
over 45 days later...nothing still...

2013-11-07: An exchange recovery site will be operating in a few days
that will allow users to check their recovery status,
balances and get an overview of the progress of balance
recovery. I'll notify here when it's online and update
further on the status when it's up. The original exchange
address, https://exchange.bitparking.com/main, should
link to the recovery site when operational. Email queries
can be sent to admin@bitparking.com. Email can be encrypted
using PGP. The admin PGP key is on keyservers and has
fingerprint: A3A1 644E 6B0A D139 C249 8E99 9E4E 1AC1 23DF 1B31

2013-05-03: Some recovery requests have not been providing any information resulting in a rather painful and slow back and forth getting it. To facilitate recovery, when you email a request please include:
Some addresses you used to deposit or withdraw from the exchange to confirm identity
An approximate estimate of the balances you held in the exchange
Whether you had any buy or sell orders active at the time of the crash
Whether you had any deposits or withdrawals pending at the time of the crash.
2013-04-24: Recovery is still ongoing. I'm working through the queue of users and a number have had their accounts processed. The process is ongoing and will take time to process all accounts. I endeavour to answer bitmessage queries about status in a timely manner if you have questions. Email responses are less timely as I'm mainly using that for account recovery requests and general support queries can get hidden in the large number of those.
2013-04-14: I've been working through the emails and bitmessages sent to me for exchange balance recovery. This is taking quite some time as there is a large number of users and it is time consuming to reconstruct account details. I'm working through it on a case by case basis. Emails are getting answered as I process your account details, don't panic if you don't get an immediate response. As I'm processing email messages as I deal with them I suggest using Bitmessage to BM-BbgTgGa6LX3yYqwJSwdwrzysvfWjM2u6 for urgent status enquiries so they don't get lost in the queue of recovery emails.
2013-04-08: Work is still ongoing in recovering the transaction and wallet data from the exchange drive. I'll report here when I have more information. If you have data that will help identify you as the owner of an exchange account please send it to the email or bitmessage address at the bottom of the page. An address you deposited to or withdrew from and your account name, contact details and a namecoin/bitcoin address to send funds to will speed things up. Those that have already sent details I'll contact within the next couple of days all going well.
2013-04-05: It appears the namecoin exchange has suffered corruption on the drive holding the exchange data which caused the crash. I've now got a disk image of the exchange and will be working on recovering the transaction data this weekend. Once this is done I'll post a status here of what effect this will have on trades that occurred between the last backup and the crash. Once a state of the database is determined and balances of coins in the exchange wallet are recovered I'll bring up the site for withdrawals only and the exchange will cease operation.
2013-04-03: The machine hosting the bitparking namecoin exchange has gone down and I was not able to successfully bring it up remotely. I'm working on getting it operational again and hope to have more information about the state of it tomorrow.
Email
admin@bitparking.com for queries or send a bitmessage to BM-BbgTgGa6LX3yYqwJSwdwrzysvfWjM2u6.
