My office at work is getting renovated. This afternoon a crew of contractors is coming in to demo some partition walls. As a percaution against stuff getting damaged, everything has been moved out. Holding out till the bitter end is my desk. The crew will be here in approximately a half hour, so I'm moving out now.
I don't do anything except work (office apps, web surf, etc) on this machine, so it rarely crashes and its been a long time since I've manually rebooted. But I was supprised when I noticed just how long it's been since I've rebooted.
Task manager, which among other things, records the amount of CPU time expended by different applications. Idle time is recorded by the "Idle Process". In total, I have more than two thousand two hundred hours recorded since the last reboot. This works out to over ninety one days or roughly three months of uptime!
Servers I manage have uptimes surpassing this mark, but I think this is a pretty good number for a desktop. Sadly, the UPS this system is plugged into is shared by other systems, which are not effected by the move. I had thought about loading the computer and its UPS onto a cart and rolling it into my temporary space, to keep the timer running, but no such luck.
