fuck yeah. im so annoyed, i went for a 3hr run, came back and its still fucked up.Sammy-Blue said:Seriously, SCREW ISIS:burn::burn::burn:
yeah it's absolutely unnacceptable. 8 hours after the results are out and the server is still unresponsive.
ANU can transport matter and mix oil with water but they can't fucking figure out when thousands of students log into a server in the same minute it causes problems

a mate went to chifley to check his results.
Everyone is just sitting there continually hitting the refresh page every 30 seconds. After 5min the server goes idle, so people are just flooding the server with requests, then it idles and forces them to log off. Its never going to work.

I think they opened around 11:40am, I managed to get my grades from enrolment around then, still very slowly, didn't get marks for a few more hours... Why couldn't they release them early like they normally do then everyone gets them more staggered...
ISIS servers don't load balance. this means when ISIS is getting absolutely hammered and ANU's other servers (like WebCT or ANUMail) are free (i.e. not many people are using them at the moment), the strain on the ISIS server doesn't get shared among all of ANU's servers equally. this is why you can log into WebCT or ANU mail instantly, when ISIS is unresponsive.
this is why this happens every freaking time release-dates come by. as stated above it's not hard for ANU to think more logically - release the marks at 4am and therefore the load on the server gets spaced out evenly. people who are eager to check their marks stay up at 4am (the logic behind this is not everyone will check them at 4am) and people don't tend to check their marks multiple times after getting them already; they log in, check them and log out. or an even nicer idea - charge each student $5 or so to get a service where marks get sent via SMS. now that would be 21st century thinking. i know i'd pay the $5 happily.
now to find a suggestions inbox i can send that to so hopefully, come end of the year, my heart won't be racing the whole time the page takes 40 minutes to load.

i chose to get my vce results by sms, rather than internet as so many peole i know had problems with them over the internet. obviously hsc isnt the same but vce it was a bitch...
i got them for free by sms... so they shouldnt even charge us...
