Journal Chacham's Journal: froze my system :( 3
Well, the seemingly inevitable happened. My computer froze. After 205 days, 2 hours and 22 minutes, my computer stopped responding. *sniff*
And it was just a harmless command. wine
Well, the nice thing is I beat half a year for uptime. And that's solar or lunar, leap or regular. I wanted a year, but, oh well. Maybe it's time to update the kernel. Gee, what version am I running anyway..... uname -r... 2.4.17.
Now that Diablo has spread its evil (e-vill) to my computer, I think I'll name my character tux, and beat him back.
It's also time to get a new CD-ROM. I'd like a writer. I wonder if an external DVD writer would make sense.

I know it's cool, but is there a reason other than just the coolness of it? Are you going for a record or something?
Not intended to be a troll.

It is mostly cool. But also, I've always wanted to have a large uptime. I have this dream of getting a year. If I got the year, I probably wouldn't care much past that.
It's also self-feeding. Imagine you had *your* computer running for >200 days. Would you want to reboot?
Getting into personality types (MBTI), I'd venture to say, that updtime is a J thing. Ps wouldn't care, and even if they did, they would hardly be wiling to sacrifice anything for it over such a long period.

(though some Win2K users have had an easy 6 months of up time, it all depends on the setup, hardware, and how it is being used. I tend to beat my machines to death with the sheer number of applications that I load and unload on a daily basis)
