Temporary Service Outage at Tiny.cc affecting Lab 1b

The URL appearing in Step 5 of the Lab 1b instructions uses a URL shortening service, tiny.cc, to make it easier to type. They are normally quite reliable but today the service went down unexpectedly about 8 hours ago (12:30am PDT today), making the link inoperable.

In the meantime, students can bypass tiny.cc by simply going directly to the destination page using this link:

The Help FAQ at the student support site, MaxzPlace has been updated accordingly so students will always be able to get the fix immediately themselves right away, now and in the future.

Apologies for the confusion/hassle. Thanks for your understanding.
