OK, my “so funny” there was well hidden sarcasm. That site had a big warning, kind of “could not connect to mysql socket, could not find mysql socket, mysql fail”. See, for PG people it is fun to say “mysql can fail!”. Now, what made it much funnier to people outside of PG community – for past few hours the www.postgresql.fr server did not respond, and later was telling just “Maintenance – Des travaux sont en cours sur la plateforme postgresql.fr”. Ironic :-)

I did similar joke, not too funny, last year, probably in a bit more polite fashion, in this email.

Update: Though I failed to mention a word cloud on my talk (I guess I was entirely alone in whole conference in that regard), it still made it to Slashdot.

Also, we already replaced ‘Wikimedia Grid’ with ‘Wikimedia Cloud’ on Ganglia.
