b) made my bed
c) checked and memorized the 14-day weather forecast (weekend looks good!)
d) learned Hebrew and translated most of the Old Testament just for fun
e) started this thread
f) got a 6-pack, whitened my teeth, and earned $60/hr from home just by clicking on internet ads!

IMPOSSIBLE.
ELM is not slow. It's infallible. Maybe you're too fast.

You know, I don't know why it seems like it's just me... but ELM is working fine for me, and has been for pretty much this whole term. I haven't seen any issues at all. It's strange that some people would have serious problems while others would apparently have few or no problems at all.

I actually booked my reading week trip in the ~1.5 hours I had to wait before ELM gave me signs of life.
Go figure, I can't get on a McMaster website from within the campus. Defies all logic.

I find that ELM is a lot faster right now... I wonder if that's just coincidence or if they fixed it...

I was in my ENG 1D04 Lab, computers for engineers, and I logged into elm.
I walked into the other room, watched the TA's demonstrate how unprepared they were,and how they dont know how to use equipment or know programming, then finally watched the demonstration once they figured everything out. As I was walking back to my chair the elm page just started to load up.
