So, it's abundantly obvious that I don't know how to maintain a minimal MySQL box. I had assumed that once I set up databases and grants, that would be about it for my tiny little universe of websites.
I got an IM that I was showing a "too many connections" on my wiki, and sure enough, PhpWiki was giving every browser a tremendously ungoogle-able error message. (All the hits were to sites with the same problem, not sites discussing the problem.)
Disgusting savages

I've been slack in updating the public blog lately, but seeing this offense gave me no choice but to post an update.
See, that's a coffee ring.
On a toilet paper dispenser.
Now, you might hear those things and not think,"Eww, gross," but listen.
What's a coffee ring? It's a mark left on a flat surface, usually a counter or a table, by a sloppy cuppa joe with coffee clinging to the bottom. It's a very clear sign of where a cup of coffee was left, and left by a sloppy, disgusting, slob, who can't be bothered to a) wipe off the bottom of his cup after spilling coffee all over while pouring, or b) wipe off the surface befouled with his slop.
(Lightning storm over Bethesda, caught with my iSight.)
You haven't seen fast until you've seen boom truck operators climb down at the first sign of lightning.
