OH GOD OUR INTERNET IS DOWN! How will we live? More importantly, it’s deadline day. How will we put out the paper?
We’ve currently decamped to Urban Grind coffeeshop, a vast space full of laptops and crying children. A man near me just poured what appeared to be kelp powder into his coffee. This could get worse, maybe?
The blog will be slow for the rest of the day, or until God flips some mighty switch and the Internet returns. I’m tasked with manually running back and forth across two blocks, ferrying a USB drive full of fact-checked stories to the layout guys. It’s like we’re living in 1995. THE HORROR.
UPDATE: We haven’t made much progress on putting out the paper, but film editor Erik Henriksen just revealed that in 7th grade he took a mandatory class called “Utah Studies.”
UPDATE 4:48 PM: And we’re back! Erik has this to share about his Utah Studies course: “I think the best thing I can remember about it is the teacher, despite her allergy to dairy, had ice cream anyway and spent an entire day teaching with giant, inflamed lips. Or that she was vain enough to take glamor shots at the mall instead of just doing the regular yearbook photos.”
Just borrow more content from Slog. Problem solved.
This is happening because Matt never apologized for calling IT workers assholes. Revenge is a dish best served cold, or something. Or maybe you guys could try turning the router off and on again.
Just jiggle the cable…..
@Sock Person. We would borrow more content IF THE INTERNET WORKED… idiot! Wait… hey, the internet is working!!
Mine was too. The problem looked like a bad tower on the Clear network from my end. But my tower is a long ways away from you, so…
Who is your ISP? Was is just a coincidence that we both lost connection at the same time or what?
The Clear network was down in Vancouver (US), also.
My Clear went down Thursday and stayed down until yesterday. Bastardos!
What is Matt measuring in the photo?
