All of Campus is down as a fiber cable was severed. Here's the official word on any assignments due:

Are emails that were sent during the outage appearing in your inboxes? I sent myself an email around noon and it isn't in my studentmail account, but I haven't gotten a bounceback for it yet either...

Edit: Looks like emails are slowly coming in

-Campus Internet: Incredibly slow (at least using library computers)
-Library Computers: Innis, Mills, Thode, Health Sci, take your pick the computers are slow everywhere
-A2L: Lets just say their "maintenance" has done wonders year after year, after year
-Campus servers: If you knew where these things were located you would probably shake your head, and be estonished at the same time that Mac can even run a technology system in that environment

Conclusion: Thousands of dollars from students wasted each year and not one of these things has been improved. Lets keep our fingers crossed for Mosaic....if it arrives when its supposed to....
where are the campus servers located? I'm curious

A couple of blades dont take up much room. At least I would hope they are using blade servers...
I would guess BSB since that is where UTS is. They just need a small dorm like room with a really good air conditioner and power supply.

Those servers in ABB are the local sharcnet machines. Much more powerful than what MUGSI runs on

Not ABB, Not BSB, a *bit* more than a "dorm like room"...

Yes, a whole bunch of blades, but also a "mainframe"/Enterprise Server, a bunch of rack mount servers, a few sun boxen remaining, disk arrays, storage networking, tape libraries, networking gear of a wide variety and many other bits of tech...

But, sadly, no match for construction workers wielding fibre seeking backhoes...
