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).
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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
