About those 503 errors you were seeing

Several of you took the time to e-mail or tweet at me about the 503 error messages you were seeing when posting comments.

I want to thank you for letting me know and also tell you we have a temporary solution in place. I won’t bore you with the details, but suffice it to say it really had nothing to do with a traffic overload.

We handled the NCAA championship traffic with no problems. The servers don’t usually even break a sweat in the dog days of summer.

I did say the solution we’ve developed is temporary. We’re looking for a permanent one and hope to have it in place soon. Meanwhile, if you see any more of the 503 errors, please do let me know.
