Have I mentioned recently how cool it is that I have SSH on my phone?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there a PostgreSQL version of phpMyAdmin?
I don't know.
Is there any reason why we couldn't have two users named "admin" (just so we can have an admin user #1)? Or doesn't it matter what the user #1 is called?
Or should we avoid confusion by renaming the current admin, then add the admin user #1?
(Back when, I was thinking that the admin user would be determined by the name, not the ID #. Oh well.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As long as you have a user numbered 1, that will work out. I'd steer clear of duplicate user names -- the code does check for it at registration. It may still at maintenance. It certainly should.

I know the code prevents you from registering with an email address that's already been used, but is there any problem with manually changing a user's email address (just for testing, of course) after the user's been added? 'Cuz I've used up all my email addresses (I have three users on the system).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nope. Once it's in, you can change the address, and you can have multiple user ids with the same address.

Oh, so even a non-stompy user could do that through the usual means (browser)?

Thanks, Gus. I'll give that a looksee.

What time of the day is the board typically the busiest?
What I'd like to do (or someone else can if they want) is watch the Unix 'top' command and note the times when the CPU usage gets pegged at 100% (It actually happens a fair amount). Then see how many posts a minute the board's getting at those times. (Of course the test board should not be active during these times.)
Or is there some way of logging when, say, the CPU is at 100% for 30 seconds straight or something? Or just log the CPU usage % for half an hour?
Then at some point in the future when the real board is quiet (but not for a few days at least) we can see how many posts a minute on the test board it takes to peg the CPU.
