There will be an episode of FAIL on Sunday.

In case you haven't heard, there will be serious network outages tomorrow involving all campus services ...
All campus networking, Internet access, and central computer services will be unavailable Sunday, Jan. 25 beginning at 8 a.m. This is necessary to replace the central UPS, which is inoperable, and prevent unplanned power outages from damaging equipment and losing University data. Office of Information Technology staff members will begin shutting down machines at 8 a.m. Critical systems, including the network, medical systems, e-mail, Web sites, Banner, myBama, eLearning, and Bama, are expected to be operational by 1 p.m. Other central systems should be up no later than 3 p.m.

  1. Fail is right. I slept in then went to work (I work at the Office of Student Media) around 1pm, since that's when Bama was supposed to be up...Well, about an hour in, they turned it back off. So now I'm at work with nothing to do.

    This may even call for epic fail.
