By Bwog Staff on Oct 30, 2012 13 Comments

Update, 1:30 am: Facebook, CNN, and Wikipedia are now back up! Try going to Facebook. Now try CNN and Wikipedia. If you’re in a Columbia-owned building, it’s likely that none of these websites will load. But the websites themselves aren’t down. If you try them from a non-Columbia IP or from your phone (once you […]

Profs Admit Defeat!

By Bwog Staff on Oct 29, 2012 19 Comments

All across campus people rejoice at the receipt of emails from sullen professors. Essays are pushed back and classes are cancelled.
