We are investigating this issue, too many requests is made in one second.
Meanwhile we allocated more memory resources during this time temporarily.
Update 09:43 pm — Server has been stabilized. We are still in the midst of finding out what happened.
Update 12:12 am Sunday — It began when one of our servers had an overloaded queue due to a bug introduced in a recent update. This server attempted to resend too quickly to another server which couldn’t keep up. The whole chain reaction is the reason for our 2 hour service disruption. We are optimizing our load right now.

The Singapore SMS device was malfunctioned this morning. We did not get notified until @chrissyypoo alerted us. Sorry for the delayed messages, we have successfully delivered all delayed messages from Singapore.
We are currently investigating what went wrong and update you guys on what actually occurred.
The Singapore SMS feature is up and will be monitored closely.
Update: A glitch occurred on the software that checks the SMS device and it stops checking for new messages until we restarted it.

We are 33 days old today and how Google Analytics work is it compares your last month results with your this month results and does some sort of a percentage that showed us a shocking spike. We don’t really have a last month so our percentage is just ridiculously high:

Crazy Google Analytics results
The above result combines gladlyCode and gladlyCast websites without showing hard numbers.
