I've got the "pretty graph" bug as described by Rob Church that he
states Mark and Domas also have. What can I say? I figure every little
bit helps and when all of the other IRC channels start filling up with
people wondering what's going on. I enjoy using my knowledge, although
limited, to help in any way possible.
It just so happened I was at the right place at the right time. While
there were other people noticing slowness and trickling into
#wikimedia-tech, I imagine it would have been longer delay in
resolving the issue had someone like me not been there. *shrug*
FYI: I'm EDT -4
