Well, apparently, Pendrell went down some time last night, which i didn’t notice. But i did notice that mysql.pendrell.textdrive.com was down for a bit an hour or so after that reported outtage. I logged in to my WordPress Dashboard, and when i hit the Write link, i got the Error connecting to database page. I checked mysql.pendrell.textdrive.com directly, and got a “too many connections” error when trying to log in to phpMyAdmin. It cleared up after 30 minutes or so, but looking at the Status Blog is a little disconcerting. Several issues. Every day. I never noticed the service before moving to TextDrive. It was invisible—just there—just working. Which has me wondering if this was a worthwhile investment.
