downtime, alas
well, pooh.
i was at 428 days or so, not that it's a guiness record or
anything, but...
$ uptime
11:14pm up 4:05, 1 user, load average: 0.03, 0.05, 0.06
1) i left my mac and 21" monitor on
2) the laptop was plugged in
3) backup/secondary server, and monitor were on
4) laserjet printer was plugged in
our poor ups didn't have much of a chance to keep the real
debian server going for long. usually i at least turn the
monitors off when leaving for extended periods... sadly, these
outages were major bigtmie -- whole sections of town were out
for hours at a time.
and the outage was itself quite interesting. we were putting the
final touches on "season's greetings"* and heard "bvvvvt" in the
distance. sounded like a large pump starting up. the odd part
was, the sky (really low drizzle rain clouds) lit up blue, at
the same time. happened at least four times.

Looking for a way to CREATE A PAGE OF LINKS to all the
*/index.html that already exist in your /usr/share/doc tree?
#!/bin/sh
# as /usr/doc contains lots of symlinks to /usr/share/doc, adding
# -follow to find args may be useful.
