Today’s outage…
…was apparnetly caused by too many concurrent MySQL connections. As usual, nothing had changed. And we were doing so well lately!
In any case, I did notice that the Google Feedreader blog decided to reprint “But is it art?” and boost my subscribers by 30% in one day. 😛 Maybe that had some effect.
Anyway, there seem to be a few lingering effects which I am working on fixing now. And I will get a Sunday Poem up before bed!
If you are using Feedburner and noticed the jump in subscribers from Google Feedreader there, it’s because Google is now reporting subscriber numbers. There’s a good post about it, over at problogger.net, which contains links to the relevant Google & Feedburner announcements along with some commentary.
Bizarrely, the RSS feed off raphkoster.com no longer works, but the feedburner one does!
