• "Systems Administrator Domas Mituzas blogged about how the Wikipedia database system compares with those of other websites, and the upgrade from MySQL versions 4.0 to 5.1." That blog was actually written in July. An interesting read, but not particularly recent. I actually read half of it before realizing I had read it before.

  • Well, it's only, er, September. Guess I should have noticed the URL. Hmm, something must have given me the impression it was new, some other story, or Twitter or something. Still, an interesting read we didn't cover in July (thankfully, now that really would be bad). - Jarry1250 ^{[Humorous? Discuss.]} 16:26, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Oh, found it. The de.wp's version of the Signpost (sort of) covered it [1] as news. - Jarry1250 ^{[Who? Discuss.]} 14:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, my bad. Some folks at the talk page of WP:NEU (a pace dedicated mostly to technical news) noticed the update. Because some of the servers seemed to still run 4.0, I presumed the update was still ongoing and up-to-date. I didn't consider the possibility the update was spread over several months ;-) --Church of emacs (Talk) 20:12, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
