REGISTERING–OR TRYING TO–FOR OBAMA/MCCAIN??

By: Tom Faure at 10:09 am

As something like 10,000 people swarm to the lottery registration web site, many are complaining that they can’t get through. Faced with a similar predicament, I called CUIT. They said the server was being bogged down, but that the link itself is working. At this point, one of my friends has signed up for the lottery. The rest are hoping that hangovers or forgetfulness will deter enough people to give them a fighting chance.

The one who did get through to the registration said it took about 10 patient minutes to get through. Keep hitting those Refresh buttons!

Sure, the chances are slim anyway–but we all want a fair shot. It seems no extra precautions were taken to ensure the server would not lag today.

In the meantime, we’re getting back in the daily rhythm of a daily paper–come say hi at the Activities Fair!

  1. the most frustrating part is when you have entered all your freakin info only to find that 1. the server drops, AGAIN, 2. the site accuses you of entering false info (?!#@$%^##?!?!) and you’ve got to start the god-forsaken process all over again.
