Sep 29 2004 - From Sunday evening until Wednesday morning, Blackboard suffered various temporary access problems. Under high load, the system was becoming unresponsive and looped.

Sep 14 2004 - The East Campus is still experiencing a power outage, howver, our servers and routers are running on a generator and there is now network access for all buildings on the East side that have power.
