[Friday Links] The Eventful First Week Edition
So this was an eventful week, something new every day.
- Monday-Tuesday was a power outage at the main C&IT data center
- Wednesday the Board of Governors meeting where the budget was approved
- Thursday the high traffic due to the first day of classes took down Blackboard
- Friday came with a water main break at Warren and Cass which stopped water to a few buildings
Even with all of that this week turned out to be a successful first week of classes. Enjoy these links of the week.
