NED hates me!!!

Today was the last day Jake would be gone so I have a lot to show him tomorrow as far as graphs go. Today I started by trying to get on NED after Jake IMed me saying what I should do...the operative word being 'trying'. I could get to the home page of NED but as far as trying to look up galaxies and all that good stuff, it would take NED 5 minutes to give me a blank screen or a background. So at first I thought that I needed to put more information into the search...I didn't have much more information than the name of the galaxy. I then tried to get directly to the galaxy I wanted from another site by hyperlink...another 5 minutes lost and yet no page. Then I began thinking maybe it was down or just an error with the page so I decided to open other tab with the search...another 5 minutes down the tubes. So then I asked Chris to try to get it from his computer but he had to leave so I was out of luck. We skipped going to Java's because no one came down to say 'Hey we are going to Java's' and we didn't want to be rude and just get up and go. We went outside for lunch and by that time we had lost two companeros Chris and Emma...Ashly and I split to go see the little presentation on E Coli while Liz stayed back to finish working her stuff because she is missing tomorrow and Friday. The talk was alright but short and we were late for pizza but lucky ate lunch before going. So, I came back to the 'lab' downstairs and found that NED was working for some reason and then began plugging data into a spread sheet from various different telescopes at different frequencies and such. Jake messaged me and I explained how NED had been down and he assisted me as to which data I should be using. Today seemed like a long day but I feel what I did accomplish was helpful in some way.
