Tumblr takes a tumbl

Tumblr CEO David Karp has (finally) posted an update on the two-day outage causing outrage among users of the short-form blogging platform.

"Yesterday afternoon, during planned maintenance that was not intended to interrupt service, an issue arose that took down a critical database cluster," explains Karp. "This brought down our entire network while our engineers worked feverishly to restore these databases and bring your blogs back online."

"Sorry we let you down today," the post ends.

Even the hungover owls seem sadder than usual. But good news, Brooklyn: tumblogs are slowly coming back online tonight. All should be well in tumblandia by the morning, I'd wager.
