I noticed I had actually signed up for one session twice so I tried to login to ScheduleBuilder. I managed to delete the duplicate, but I haven't been able to add a new session to replace it. The site is getting hammered, even at 7:30 in the morning, and whatever they're using on their backend (JEE perhaps?) isn't up to handling the load. A few minutes ago it went down completely. This is a classic example of why one should design web applications RESTfully and without session state. Session state doesn't scale.
