Avenue is going to be DOWN ?

 
Taking from avenue's website:


"Internet and ORION networks will be inaccessible due to ORION (Ontario Research and Innovation Optical Network) network maintenance. During this timeframe McMaster will be inaccessible via Internet from anywhere outside of McMaster; however, access to McMaster resources, including DTC and MIP, from within McMaster will remain unaffected.
This maintenance is being initiated by ORION and can not be rescheduled. UTS will be monitoring and assisting with testing after the maintenance to ensure all services have been re-established.
Start Date/Time: Friday December 10, 2010 - 11:00 p.m.
End Date/Time: Saturday December 11, 2010 - 1:00 a.m."


Are they mocking us or what ?


What do you guys think of this ? Right during the exam, when we need avenue the Most, they take it away... I'd like to stay home and study not get out and not study.

Relax... look at the times. It's down for 3 hours late on Friday night. I think you'll survive.

That is ****ing bullshit, no matter what time.
I have an exam on Saturday morning, and this isn't helping, I want to use all the resources I have... INCLUDING AVENUE.

This. You never know when your Internet will stop working, a comet hits mac UTS, or A2L pulls a ELM. Just save it.

Because then anyone could access the sources. I think there's a rule somewhere about distributing copyrighted material to people not in the course.

if you're studying between 11pm and 1am for a 9am exam the next day...you're doing it wrong.

You can do a print of the webpage and then do a preview of what you're going to print and it should give you the preview as a pdf file and then save that. I do it all the time if there's an online article or something that I want to read and I know I won't have internet access.
Not print screen though, just the print button on your web browser.
