We are currently experiencing network problems across the entire UCD network. We will update this page once we have more information.

Update

Due to a fire in the UCD Data Centre, all IT Services are likely to be unavailable for the remainder of today. The UCD Website is available and updates will be posted at www.ucd.ie/itservices.

I'm so glad I saved my notes onto a disk for my exam on Saturday!!:eek:

I hope it will be back by tomorrow? Its the worst timing ever for the system to be down.

WoollyRedHat · 08-12-2011 5:09pm

Oh you've got to be kidding me? This is terrible timing, I need to get onto blackboard..****ity ****... Also, there is no further information when you follow the www.ucd.ie/itservices link

It's a weird one. I actually had a take-home exam today that I've just had to email to the tutor as proof of completion.

I wonder what they'll do about the people who don't bother emailing their exam.. Seeing as there's no real way to prove they haven't completed the exam by 5pm as required.

Were you able to access UCD connect?

conor.hogan.2 · 08-12-2011 5:14pm

Rule number one, switch as much mail away from your college email and rule 2 download everything from blackboard, moodle etc.

Well I was earlier today - the exam was uploaded at 9am.

WoollyRedHat · 08-12-2011 5:17pm

UCD Connect , blackboard through direct login and e-mail through direct login, all bring up an error message.

upandcumming · 08-12-2011 5:26pm

You can't log into stuff.

What a useless shower!

Conor108 · 08-12-2011 5:50pm

I can get to blackboard via https://elearning.ucd.ie

steddyeddy · 08-12-2011 5:55pm

I entered Gmail for my UCD connect mail!

Digits · 08-12-2011 8:34pm

Connect back for me now.

Stasya_x · 08-12-2011 8:40pm

Everything in Copiprint wasn't working when I left.
Was nearly having a nervous breakdown.
I NEED TO COPY, I NEED TO PRINT.

parker kent · 08-12-2011 8:45pm

Getting almost everything back for students and staff is actually pretty decent. Nice to see that people were relatively calm on this thread too. The Facebook Registry page had a few over reactions. I know exams are coming up and people are stressed, but there was a fire for fecks sake. It is not as if it was planned.

Hopefully it is something that they can ensure doesn't happen again. Plus as always when the word fire is mentioned, glad it wasn't a large fire and that nobody was hurt.

And thats the most important thing

Power outage again. Was in the Dadalus building attempting to print off so work when the computer just ground to a halt, Microsoft Word, the internet, everything. Logged off but it wont let anyone log back on. Went to the IT help, they said they don't know when it will be back. Ucd connect & all still working so far. I know it's nobody fault, but when your trying to print off work saved on your UCD account and you can't...:mad:

They have to make allowances for this sort of thing, no?

Raphael · 09-12-2011 6:03pm

This is the first time in my 5 1/2 years in UCD something along this lines has happened. You don;t make allowances for things when they're incredibly improbable.

Indeed. I have to say I was shocked at some of the comments on the ucd registry facebook page.

conor.hogan.2 · 09-12-2011 6:30pm

People are under pressure, some are likely to be really annoyed and post about it here and on facebook.

I'd say quite a few of these people wouldn't hesitate to use "lost my USB key", or "savage sheep ate my computer" as an excuse. Their difficulties are to be accommodated, but not other people's.

Indeed but they were no more put out than I or others who have similar deadlines and exams.

Indeed if you look at the fb pages a lot of them are acting like spoiled brats.
