“Error establishing a database connection”: A Ninja Explanation
Filed under: Uncategorized
I know you often encounter an error page with the message:
Error establishing a database connection.
Here’s why that happens: FAD’s pages are being served by invisible cute kittens. When you browse the blog, a cute kitten in my house runs back and forth from my house to your computer machine so fast you don’t see it. Sometimes, when so many are browsing the blog, one of these cute kittens dies from exhaustion!!!
So when you’re clicking on the picture of that naked jailbait, and you see “Error establishing a database connection,” remember that a kitten just died. The picture above is more or less an accurate representation of said dead kitten.
Okay, seriously, this error message appears when so many people are accessing FAD’s pages all at the same time. It also appears whenever I delete the blog’s cached files, which I do about two or three times a day (on weekdays), and once or twice (on weekends, when I’m actually at home). It’s nothing serious: you just have to wait a few minutes then hit Refresh.
