mmm.. stability
About a year ago, I bragged about a linux box I have reaching a full year of uptime..
Guess what this one is about?
Two years! (well, yes, of course, same box).
[kasia@geddy ~]$ uptime
11:16pm up 235 days, 18:05, 18 users, load average: 0.25, 0.16, 0.11
Now to put that in terms of the older kernel that rolls over at 497 days..
[kasia@geddy ~]$ fup
11:19pm up 2 years, 2 days, 20:35, 18 users, load average: 0.01, 0.09, 0.08
[deity] bless whoever invented the ups!

So your not running a DeathStar ( www.ibm.com/harddisk )harddisk then, and your geekness has lost 30 points because you've not been inside and upgraded in 2 years.
:D

When a box's uptime reaches a certain high, its more important to keep the uptime growing, than changing hardware in the machine. Thats why geeks have so many PCs, because we need a faster one anyways, and we cannot bear to turn of the old steady one :) so we compile a pile of old boxes in the corner, with a very high uptime. :)

You realize this means you're running a kernel with two year old security holes... <ducking>

that computer isn't named after the bass guitarist and lead singer of the band Rush is it?

I need a UPS, my uptime sucks :( Every 3-6m my aptmt has a power outage. Not enough of a PITA to make me go and spend $ on a UPS, but enough to kill my uptime. Oh well. Shit, even my co-lo box is only at 30 days now because someone disconnected it from the UPS it was connected to! ARGH!
