Sad Day…
April 7, 2009
Today I’ve decided to finally shut down a trusty server. It’s been the office firewall for 4+ years, happily chugging away on an old HP desktop, running Gentoo linux.
$ uptime
08:44:48 up 267 days, 17:51, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
It’s currently been running for nearly a year. It’d be double that if we’d not had an issue with a snake, and the office transformed. Before that, it’d been running without issues for nearly 2 years, where the failure before that was caused by a PSU fan failure.
It was recently phased out with some network reconfigurations, and is no longer needed…
Good night lestats.

Funnily had to turn it back on because the PIX is blocking odd traffic. Go figure. $5000 device vs $300 device, and the $300 device wins.
It’s always sad to down a machine that has great uptime … my servers had more than 250 days before last weekends upgrades.
