It just sits in the corner doing it's thing, not bothering anyone. Jim. Chris, that’s what I love most about Linux. It just sits in the corner doing it’s thing, not bothering anyone.

Now, I sure as hell do not remember rebooting the box, even in various intoxicated states. I also checked my eggdrop bot in the shacknews KOCK radio channel, and he reported being up for 47 weeks. Various googling led me to this post:  http://www.jimohalloran.com/2002/12/30/linux-uptime-wraps-around/ [...] […] The first thing is…I noticed the uptime on the server read 4 days.

Guess I forgot the details, because here I was, waiting for this machine to roll over before I decommissioned it, and I started to wonder, "wait, what time on day 497 does it roll?" 3:10pm up 497 days, 13:26, 22 users, load average: 0.08, 0.10, 0.09 Oops. Maybe the kernel was patched for this (either upstream or by my distribution, Aurora Linux), or maybe it's because this is a 64-bit system (Sun Ultra 10), but...I don't think it's gonna roll. It's sad. I'm actually disappointed. I guess I'll have to pick a new milestone to stop at. Maybe 500 days. Huh, I remember Googling and finding this psge eons ago when I “discovered” the rollover.
