Site unavailable [resolved]
Remember The Milk has been misbehaving tonight (since approximately 12:45am Pacific time), and we’ve taken the site offline while we sort out the hiccup. We’ll post updates as soon as we have them — apologies for any inconvenience in the meantime!
Update 2:16am Pacific time: We’re back! It turns out our database wasn’t ready for the 2 billionth* time a task was modified (doh, sorry everyone!). Bob’s made sure the database is ready to deal with bigger numbers now. Sorry to all affected by this downtime!
*Technically the problematic number was 2,147,483,648, but 2 billion is close enough…
