UNC Webmail
So UNC's e-mail has been down since yesterday. For those of you who are not tech-savvy enough to follow the status of UNC IMAP e-mail, I'll provide a synopsis.
Update 1:
E-mail is down. We've called up the one person who knows how to fix it. The rest of us are busy playing Snood. We're sure it's not a big problem.
Update 2:
Whoa, the hardware failed! Lucky for us, we have backup servers to... oh sh't. Wait. No, we don't. F'ck.
Update 3:
Sorry, we were playing Snood all night. Who checks their e-mail in the middle of the night anyways? Um, we better get back to fixing the problem. We're sure it's not hard to fix...
Update 4:
Read Update 2. But we better explain more. We found out now only was it hardware, but the underlying programs were corrupted. But luckily we have uncorrupted backups of ... oh sh'it. Wait. No, we don't. F'ck. We're beginning to think this is a serious problem.
Update 5:
Ahh, we still can't fix it! We've decided to play "pass the blame game" by now bringing in every company that had a role in servicing the original server (4 companies in all!). Now we're all sitting around the room while one person attempts to fix the damn thing. Thank goodness we have backup servers... oh sh'it. Wait. No, we don't. F'ck.
We're not really sure when e-mail will be back. BUT DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN STILL SEND E-MAIL!!
