are google, gmail, and google classroom working for other people?

[lunabee34]

It just quit working for us this morning, and I can't google to see what the issue might be. All other websites seem to be working fine. Emma is freaking out because she has work due tomorrow.

Just checked, and both google and gmail are working for me.

Maybe try another search engine like duckduckgo.com or bing to see if you can find out more on the issue.

[lunabee34]

Good idea.

We can pull up the sites again. I think it must be a server issues. All the kids are home from school and trying to use it. I guess it's being overtaxed or something.

I can get to gmail now, but it's so slow that it's not letting me send emails. Oh, well. Hopefully it will soon resolve.

Yeah, we noticed that all our Google services dropped for a little while this morning. Things are coming back, but they're sloooooow.

[lunabee34]

Okay. Good to know. Thank you.

We are going to practice patience. LOL

I think Emma can confidently respond to any hassles about late assignments with "The dog ate my homework."

PS--spotted in the wild: my Working From Home tenant appeared on the stairs inside the house in a white shirt and tie, because he has a videoconference. When we finished chatting, it became obvious that he was wearing boxer shorts but no pants. He said he hoped that wouldn't become evident during the videoconference. It would seem simple enough to PUT ON A PAIR OF PANTS, but I suggested that he keep a newspaper near the desk.

[lunabee34]

Ha! I completely agree with you. I think it's going to be fine. She's like me, though, and has latched onto this as something to be anxious about, so I hope it comes back up quickly.

Not gonna lie, I totally filmed my class lectures with no pants on and no bra on because the camera only caught me as far down as my clavicle. Heeeee.

OMG, just put on pajama pants, guy! Not everyone wants to potentially inspect your sausage!

Gmail has seemed pretty slow, but still up.

[lunabee34]

It seems to be working again for us now.

*hugs*

I haven't noticed anything but then again I use ecosia for my web searches. I hope you're able to log back in or whatever.

[lunabee34]

It seems back to normal. I think the system was just overtaxed by so many people using it now.

[amejisuto]

That's good. I know you're depending on it for classes right now. Good luck with it today! :)

[lunabee34]

Everything going smoothly today!

[amejisuto]

Good. I'm glad for you all! :)

Darth Vader...Intergalactic Space Invader

Today I watched two webinars and had a call-in (People for the American Way with Senator Warren, who was awesome!). The webinars really sounded like they were being projected through either a voice disguiser or a Star Wars mask.

Insert Kylo Ren pun here.

I'm glad you were able to do some fun stuff.

Oh, that is adorable. *squee* I literally made that sound.
