Was the Server Down?

traffic jam

It might be that an hour long video and 3 assignments due overwhelmed a lot of EDM310 students. Or maybe the hoard of students trying to access the server late on Sunday overwhelmed the server and crashed it. I have been getting LOTS of reports that students could not access the Instructions Sunday night. Whatever the reason, 44 EDM310 students did not show up for work. That's 28% who did not do the Randy Pausch video report by last night. Sometimes the tunnel is blocked and traffic on I-10 is at a standstill. If you had left a little bit earlier you might have missed the traffic jam. But I understand because I live on the Eastern Shore. So don't worry. I think the tunnel is clear now. Those who did get through the tunnel will tell you that the Pausch video is a video you cannot afford to miss! So get your post up as soon as possible and don't worry about it. If you are still having trouble accessing the server, let me know. I will need to do some additional troubleshooting.

The picture? Didn't you know I-10 is now an eight lane road? My how Mobile has grown!

  1. I tried to gain access to it before Sunday, I thought it was just my computer. The video kept freezing and locking my computer. I did complete my assignment, but the hour long video took me about three hours to watch. It was a great "head faker".

  2. I had the same problem. It wouldn't let me access the instructions. I tried several times over a course of a few hours.

  3. The video was really jumpy for me too. It took at least two hours watch. Well worth it though.

  4. Yes it was well worth it, just thought I was the only one who was having problems.

  5. Mine did the same thing. Every time I tried to watch the video (even before Sunday), it would freeze up, skip, and say my browser wasn't responding. I guess it was just because the video was so long. The video was well worth it though.

  6. I couldn't access the instructions Sunday night, but at the exact same time, my boyfriend who I was with could access it. I'm not sure why some could and some couldn't, but I was lucky enough to have someone with me.
