Database unreachable again?

REGISTERED
This is in Freecell, don't know if other games are affected. For the last few hours, when you complete a game you get "Checking for a high score..." and a spinner, which never resolves. Clicking High Scores gives "Error! Could not load high scores (unknown status text [500]). Retry?" Just like last summer when the database server went unreliable.

Update: sometimes now the spinner does resolve and gives:
"Error! Your game could not be saved. You can click the little card icon in the top right corner to try to save it again. (unknown status text [500])."
I well remember this dance from last summer. You click on the little card 40, 60, 200 times and maybe eventually you hit the window just right and your game saves. Not this round though, at least not yet. The little card never goes away indicating the game saved successfully. That database is just unreachable.
I've been getting that most of the day. I thought it was my internet connection. I wouldn't worry about it too much. This site isn't perfect, all the time, but extremely close!
Thanks, Sage. I'm sure Jim & David are on top of the situation. An update and ETA to fix would be welcome though.
Whoops! Yeah that was me. I rebooted a machine and didn't realize it didn't completely come back up. Things should be working again now.
Thank you David! All better. (I can't see a way to mark this Solved, but feel free to do so.)
