Surprisingly, the upgrade went pretty smoothly. While dinking around in the admin section, I noticed:
Akismet has protected your site from 15,874 spam comments.
Man, I hate spammers. The more popular my domains get, the more they get targeted. One of my other sites was used as a forged from address in a bunch of e-mails and I got all the bounces. Thanks for checking SPF everyone.
Update:
Ugh! Damn it.
WordPress database error: [Table 'wp_post2cat' doesn't exist]
SELECT cat_ID AS ID, MAX(post_modified) AS last_mod FROM `wp_posts` p LEFT JOIN `wp_post2cat` pc ON p.ID = pc.post_id LEFT JOIN `wp_categories` c ON pc.category_id = c.cat_ID WHERE post_status = ‘publish’ GROUP BY cat_ID

Yes, I ran the update which supposedly updated my DB. Lovely.
Update 2:
Apparently I need to update my Google Sitemaps plugin as found in this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/135564

Keith Adams has an intriguing post about VMWare vprobes:
VProbes attempts to provide a set of tools for answering the question, “What the heck is this computer doing?” It’s an open-ended question, so vprobes is accordingly open-ended, as well. In its current form, it provides an interactive, safe way of instrumenting a running VM at any level: from user-level processes down to the kernel, and even into VMware’s VMM and hypervisor, if need be.
First, we are aiming to provide a Dtrace-like tool for other commercially important operating systems than Solaris. Second, VProbes can combine with other virtualization-based techniques in powerful ways. For example, VProbes and deterministic replay combine to make the most potent tool that I’m aware of for debugging intermittent performance anomalies.
