of WTF and timetables

here's a story about how timetables made all of us here in UTAR went WTF!

earlier ago, we were told that we have arrange our own timetables starting from the second semester. that is why everybody in the original tutorial class for this sem is gonna be seperated. but i guess you can say that we people in the same gang slash groups-for-assignments wanna stick together so that it'd be easier to work our assignments on the following semester. and we began planning our timetable, then we're ready for war.
in other words, fight for our desired timetable.

so we were told that we will be able to register our timetable starting on the 31st of August 2009 at 0800 (GMT+8). and ALL of us, and i seriously mean ALL of us from UTAR woke up early in the morning getting ready to register our timetables.

it was then 0759 and we were all counting down to the very last minute at the homepage.
and once the time hit 0800, we started clicking.
unfortunately, no one could get in anymore, the page just died off. seriously.

so here's how it was like..


diagram 01 : we were at the login then we logged in and wait.

diagram 02 : this is what we got once the clock hit 0800.

and this is the time where we all went...



at that very moment you could see UTARians swearing all over facebook. they made us wake so friggin early in the morning to wait for the opening time and when the time comes they gave all all this system down crap. most of us were saying, FUCK YOU! to whoever is in charge with the registeration site. it couldn't even hold the traffic then it ran away. and the worst thing is, it was Independence Day so no one will be working and no one will be able to fix this whole crap. OMFG!

here's one of the most beautiful words i have ever seen before :

看羚羊，草枝摆

translate it yourself ;)

and at about 10am, the site reappeared (miraculously)! and we were all rushing to do our registerations like mad. once i was done with mine and after double checking in a mere fifteen minutes, the site died out.....again. and ya you guessed it. this is where we all go...

...again

REPEAT DIAGRAM 02.

some (like me) were lucky enough to have been able to finish the registeration.
some almost made it to the finish line but apparently couldn't make it with one subject left.
some didn't even know about the 'miracle' that happened.

the day ended quite well when someone found out the secrets to accessing the registeration site. and there are TWO secrets to it :

01 : One MUST use Mozilla Firefox to access the site.
02 : One MUST add an alphabet 's' at the end of the 'http'

(so it would be https:// instead of http://)
from this : 'http://unitreg.utar.edu.my.....'
to this : 'https://unitreg.utar.edu.my.....'

makes you wanna go WTF! ain't it?

and ya, we had a "wonderful" independence day.
all thanks to UTAR =.=
