Sorry for the difficulty, folks. I think I have it beat. The nice thing about a database connection error is that it points to the likely locus of the problem. Once it became a more permanent error than intermittent, it helped narrow down the likely causes. Also, I dusted off some old skills and dug into the thing.
Seems we’re up.
BZ, Huzzah and Thanks!

I blame Ten Cents
Now, I can never take credit because Brent said it.
Highly likely, Brent.
Good on ya!
Now all those juicy conspiracy theories will go to waste. It was fun being the oppressed freedom whisperers, working underground to rail against the oppressive miasma. Turns out it really was a database error. Damn.
I was War Chalking Uptown Dallas waiting to hear back from y’all.
Like the fade out on the Twit feed1
Over at the Heckle & Jekyll website, SMOD was mentioned, Sir Yeti is opining, and the Happy Warriors aren’t as happy as expected, so in conjunction with the worrisome absence of BDB, I assumed the worst. Is it OK to take off my flak jacket now?
I think so. . .
Brent is still overhead. I am keeping my flak sock on.
Still, don’t look up.
Flak jackets piled by the door. What’s the juicy gossip?
The usual trolls have taken their game to a new and more irritating level, allowed by the biased moderators and white-washed by Yeti. It is explained perfectly by Conrad Black.

Thank you. That is a great column.
Pencil hasn’t returned to the scene of the crime yet.
Dime, I don’t know enough about coding to have messed this site up! Hey I think I’ll apply for a job at Google. You know, diversity and all.
Wouldn’t you say that if you were guilty?
