Well, school is canceled today due to the Canvas hack. The kids are currently sleeping in on an unexpected 3 day weekend. Let's see if they figure something out by Monday.

Ook bij ons is Canvas ondertussen offline met de waarschuwing volgens Trajectum: “De HU verzoekt iedereen dringend om deze software niet meer te proberen.”

Dinsdag werk ik weer voor de HU, dus zal het wel opgelost zijn, hoop ik. 😬
