A massive power outage in Los Angeles took town the data center housing my servers on Monday, September 12. The backup power generators for the data center also failed (strike one for DreamHost). As a result, my website and associated services were not available for several hours on Monday. During this downtime, the SMS widget was not able to send text messages and displayed “There was a problem sending the SMS”.

I apologize for the inconvenience! Everything is back to normal now.

Check out the CNN article and the DreamHost blog for more information on the power outage.

Aloha,
