    Sorry the site was offline for a short while - I kicked off a re-index of the site to pick up the HTTP -> HTTPS changeover and, well, I didn't put any rate limits in place so Google went full bore at it. Having the site hosted in Google's data centre probably helps it go faster than normal.

    In other news, I now know the site can scale to handle an insane number of requests if it ever needs to (as long as I put some more coins in the meter).

    Ah hah! That's what happened. I was just stuck in 'uploading post' so I signed out and signed back in.

    Was this around 11am EST, I have the site saved on my Chrome taskbar and when I clicked this morning I got can't asses or whatever it said. But was able to get on in about five minutes.
