When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sorry -- I didn't know you'd verified the theory. Have you submitted it to the developers?

Cereal confusion:

I figured out why ita's explicit closes were needed

But didn't that bug of mine you pointed out, which wasn't fixed until after our connection usage dropped mean that the explicit closes weren't responsible?

I don't know that there really has been a positive change. Turning off the quotes can't have helped much. I do think our hosts changed their configuration in a way that made the leaking connections much less lethal to the server.

Rob, feel free not to believe me. I'm not arguing the point with you.

Did the board just go away for everyone else?

It did for me.

Apparently the mere suggestion of turning the quote generator back on has the power to crash the board. Oy.

I haven't submitted anything anywhere.

I think our connection usage dropped because whe now have a much shorter idle connection timeout than we did during the bad times. The default, which is 8 hours, which would let us easily get 200 connections sitting idle. The current timeout is 5 minutes, which would make it harder to get to 200 idle connections.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

The Quote of the Day(once ita has time) seemed like a cool idea that would protect us if the refreshing quote was doing damage. I agree with whoever said it'd be like having a theme for each day.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, I got one of those too.

I got it too, Sophia. I've forwarded it to support.
