390 Days of Uptime

I wonder if I will ever be able to beat this record…

Today is the day that I finally had to reboot my Linux router. It was able to stay running for 390 days and 57 minutes. I was able to keep it running through multiple hour long power outages, migrating ISPs, and countless other daily issues. Alas, a problem with the hard drive caused the system to start haning any time it needed to access the drive, causing the internet to become practically unuseable. It took a reboot, disk check, and some error correction to get it working again. It worked fine after that for 15 minutes or so, but now I’m back to the same problem. A temporary solution might be cutting the bittorrent sharing of the new ubuntu release. There might be too many open connections for the router to handle in ram, or it might be trying to cache something. I’ll update when I’ve figured it out.

I just finished watching this animated comedy, and I have to say that it was very enjoyable. It’s a shame that not even all of the episodes were aired in America. The jokes are repetitive, the plot is predictable, and the characters are stereotypical, but the creators managed to do it all in a unique and entertaining manner. It unfortunately ends on a cliffhanger and a 2nd season will likely never be produced, but if you’re looking for a original, cheesy, animated comedy to spend a few hours watching I would recommend ordering the DVD online.
