Shorthand for "my squirrel" - the whole internet is run on squirrel power - every now and then they have to change the squirrel. Nuts, I know. Paddy is one of Irelands foremost squirrel wranglers, a legend in certain circles.

Its all one big con to make us want to use the site at the precise moment they take it down just to piss us off. There's no such thing as a mysql, that aint even a word ffs. How dumb do they think we are ?

HeyThereDeliah

Paddy paddy who the fcuk is paddy? He lives next door to Alice.

Mr Simpson

Paddy is one of the poor unfortunate fcukers that works to keep the boards hamsters alive. The update is to clean the cages out and change the hamsters wheels. Simples

He just might be getting paid to get up at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning (to ban you!).

Hamsters were too slow, Boards made the big switch to squirrels a year ago, feckin keep up.

Can someone there at Boards HQ take a pic of the veins in Paddy's head and the fear in his eyes around a half an hour after the site was supposed to be back up ?

Its a derogatory name for an irish person

What the hell is an MySQL update?
MySQL is a database.
SQL is a Structured query language
MySQL update is a query run on a MYSQL database

And who gets up at 7am on a Sunday morning?
People who were not out partying on a saturday night

I reckon that bloke needs a holiday. According to his post history, the last 7 threads he started were:

"Test"
"Ghffjh"
"Blah"
"sdfsdfsdf"
"Test"
"sdfsdfsdf"

and

"sdfsdfsdf"

Reminds me a bit of "The Shining".

Or do the hamsters have to update the squirrels to keep them alive?

No idea, its your SQL!

I do, when I'm starting work at 8am

MaxSteele

SQL = Structured Query Language.

It's a database design system for storing information.

Not only does Paddy get up at 7am, but he's obviously a failed serial killer who hadn't the stomach for the job. Skulking in the shadows of the server room, he immersed himself in and found a love for the working innards of IT and programming. Cleaner and a lot less messy than a human cadaver, Paddy knew there was no going back.

Oh no, it's a little bit more than that. This update is an actual server software update. Our 3 database servers are all running different versions of mySQL. So by the end of Sunday morning we're going to be running the same version on all our servers will be awesome.

Estimated downtime window is 1 hour from 7-8am. I suspect there won't be much alcohol consumed on Saturday night, it's not the thing you should do when hungover.

7am Sunday is just about when I'll be falling in the door looking like a zombie. I'll be in fancy dress aswell.

Bitta down time would prevent drunk posting. Keep up the good work paddy.

If you know the answers to that Ted, you're fücked. The second question is why most of boards doesn't give a shyte. Grateful, but let's face it, most of boards will be either sleeping off a hangover or in my case, fiddling with himself while he sleeps.

Sounds a bit like my plan for this sunday morning.

Insert Dinosaur meme:

Is a database update...

..a SQL?

Pottler

What I really wanna know is how it takes a full hour to change a feckin squirrel. I've seen it done in ten minutes flat, out at Intel, but they did have some seriously tasty nibbles to tempt the old one out with. And leather gloves. I believe paddy still uses the bare-handed method.Pfffft.
