del.icio.us down

Over the past day we've seen some weirdness over at del.icio.us. Last night I saw this error:

System error

error:	Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at /www/del.icio.us/comp/user/get line 13.
context:	... 9: my $usedb = 'master'; 10: my $ret; 11: 12: if (!$auth_user) { $usedb = 'user' } 13: if (!exists ($db->{$usedb})) { $usedb = 'master' } 14: $user_name_q->{$usedb} = $db->{$usedb}->prepare('select * from users where user_name = ?'); 15: my $query = $user_name_q->{$usedb}; 16: $query->execute(lc($user_name)); 17: ...
code stack:	/www/del.icio.us/comp/user/get:13 /www/del.icio.us/site/dhandler:194 /www/del.icio.us/site/autohandler:110

raw error


Then on clicking raw error it showed this stuff here:

Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at /www/del.icio.us/comp/user/get line 13.

then Wednesday from around 4:30 pm to Thursday 1:00 am PST del.icio.us was down showing the following message:

del.icio.us is down for maintenance. we'll be back in one hour.

I just checked again, I saw my user page and then I saw the first error again. It kind of looks like the database is having issues. Unfortunately all this meant that Alex's Livemarks and my Trends were both having issues today too. Hope they get all this worked out soon...
