Blackboard said there is a problem with some of the systems in their data center. The best guess is that there is a network problem with one of their racks of servers. But we will have to wait for more information. Most of the systems are fine. Some of the system, ours included, is completely down.
I especially appreciate the error message that comes up on your screen when you try to go to Blackboard right now. Note how it says to (1) contact me and (2) explain what YOU might have done to cause the error. Is that insulting, or what?
