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.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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
Spike, 'School Hard'
It never changes.

Also, shouldn't there be a period after "Woodstock"?

Did I say this already? Steven thinks that trying to keep the database as small as we can will benefit us. So yes, the archiving of the closed threads that we're doing [Ha. I say we. Like I'm actually doing anything.] will help.

Due to server resource issues, we've had to disable the random quote generator. Until someone has the time to code a Quote of the Day feature to replace it, we're all stuck with Spike and Woodstock.
