Temporary Service Degradation – January 13, 2005

This morning between the hours of 12:00 am and 8:30 am Pacific time on January 13, 2005, the TypePad application suffered from a temporary service impairment. The problem occurred during a scheduled maintenance window while performing a system upgrade. During this time access to the TypePad application was severely impaired due to load issues associated with our database. While the ability for people to post comments to TypePad weblogs was hindered, published weblogs were not affected in any other way. The problem has since been recovered from, and steps are being taken to assure that the problem does not happen again.

The TypePad team, and all of us here at Six Apart would like to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.
