• DBA: can you be more specific
• matt: sure
• matt: this is matt, I'm 31, do we have some pretty long-running transactions, in the database?

I love this stuff! I am going to build a quadcycle, and now I want 4 of those 'smartwheels' as a power-assist to augment raw pedal-power to get around town.

This is a topic I've wanted to apply more thought cycles to, and write about for a few years.
