Python script shell integration

In another silly Python/Windows hack, Hans Nowak shows how a simple Python script to move a file up to its parent directory can be added to the contextual menu for all Windows files. I can think of all kinds of useful tricks that can be enabled using this tool: instant uploading of a file to an online Photo Gallery for example.

I keep getting "database connection failed" everywhere on the site...

So have I. It's been happening for a week or two, and much moreso during peak hours, up to once every three requests, for me.

It's a persistant connection problem we haven't tracked down yet. Simon, switch from mysql_pconnect() to using mysql_connect() and it'll fix it.
