lol chatt, I almost got suspended when I figured out how to send messages to everyone's account in the school.

For an academic institution, it is pathetic how something as important as elm can be down/lagging for this long period of time. They seriously didn't learn anything from the first semester?

Just now, I thought ELM was working because I got to my course listings pretty quickly .. but then I clicked my course and of course it's slow again. This is soooooooooooooo annoying

I think ELM would make Skynet proud...destroying what's left of our sanity one student at a time...

EDIT: They should make a movie. Humans vs. ELM&MUGSI&SOLAR

ELM looks a whole lot like WebCT now.. I just don't understand the reason of the big switch.

"On January 12, 2010 at 7:30 PM an emergency maintenance procedure was performed on ELM. Since then, performance has improved."
