I think in the article they ended up with a wait_timeout of 60 seconds, not 30. (30 being the minimum they could get away with).
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which article is this, TB? I must have missed a post.

Yep, and after considering it while I was in the shower I think that something like five minutes would work for Buffistas. I can't believe the system leaks hundreds of connections in a few minutes, or it would be bringing the server down all the time.

Ah. Okay. I did miss that. Kristen's pitching it, so we'll see.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
If Steve does wind up changing wait_timeout, he'll need to make sure server threads get cached properly (they don't by default). This blog entry by one of Yahoo's database masters has more details.
While I'm here: Kristen, I humbly apologise for not getting back to you about CVS a while ago; my life had something of a meltdown. ita, did you get my mail a few weeks ago about CVS and the developer list? I'll take down my server if Kristen's got our needs covered.
Also, insent to ita re: developer list and SQL.

Do we have enough mySQL's to change the Random Quotes at least once a day? I like the Woodstock line, but it's not that good. :)

It's a matter of coding the QOTD, Wolfram. Not a top priority at the moment. :)

Got it. Although I had to read the sentence ten times before I figured out what QOTD was, and why it needed to be coded. :)

Are you ready to be strong?
Probably you guys already discussed this and everyone knows the reason for it but me, but I keep getting the same quote at the top right corner of the screen:
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock

It never changes.
