Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.

Got the new error message twice in a row when I first logged on.

ETA: And twice when I tried to post

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

We can see if msyqld was actually restarted by doing a "SHOW STATUS" query, and seeing what it reports for uptime.

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

What's the unit for uptime? It reads 3261582. Looks like a long time, if those are seconds.

Yikes. Forgot being in mysql would lock everyone out. Sorry.

Yep, the unit is seconds, so it's been up for about 37 days, i.e. not restarted last night.

Forgot being in mysql would lock everyone out. Sorry.

That's why the repeated error message? So me doing a little chicken dance on my chair didn't help? Damn.

We're still at the 'asking them to restart it' stage, then. Or the 'moving to somewhere else' stage.

Hey, developer types!!

LOVE the new error message. I was getting kind of tired of the old one, clever though it was.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

It would have been nice if we could have gotten a restart before we had to make a decision.

Okay, folks, the FanGeek offer is now off the table. I've told Steven that, given the non-events of last night, I'm passing and I thanked him for his efforts.

My recommendation, at this point, would be the istrata proposal. Though I would suggest that since it is cheaper, you spend some extra money up front and go for the RAM upgrade. If you could please make a decision and let me know what you plan to do in the next week, I'd appreciate it.

Jesse, you should have something from me this afternoon.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

Thanks for your efforts, Kristen.

I think that mysql was just restarted.
