Edit: The previous entry wasn't appearing. I've left it there because it's been linked, but hopefully people will actually see this one.
I've been having problems with my sourdough starter. The culprit seems to be an overly-cool fridge; like most living organisms, too much cold puts the beasties in hibernation mode.
Since I'm planning to use the starter this weekend, I innocently decided to keep the container out on the counter, refreshing with flour and water daily. This should get the sourdough all nice and active for its use in a few days.
That turned out to be an understatement.
