Alright, this sleep disorder thing.. really starting to annoy me. Been awake for almost 50 hours and I took 3mg of clonidine. Usually .5mg of clonidine will knock anyone out within 30 minutes. I took the 3mg about 2 hours ago.

I ended up sleeping.

Hopefully that’s what you’re doing.

It turns out that I can easily renew books online from my library’s Web site. Yea! I hate renewing, but I’m reading a book about steroid abuse that makes me sick if I don’t take breaks. (I’ve always found the act of injecting something – prescribed or not – into the body to be particularly unsettling.)

Nope, I actually haven't slept since monday. Been up for, well I lost count after 72 hours. I'm at maybe 75?

Sleeping is a waste of time anyway. Cafeine has been proven to make people more productive in the office. Well I don't really reading anything about it, but I'll just believe it anyway, since it just makes sense.

I don't drink much caffeine anymore. Back in the day I could chase yellow jackets with red bull and it wouldn't phase me. Nowadays a strong cup of coffee from starbucks can give me the jitters for most of the day, kinda scary.

Tim Hortons rules all!

Except at 7:45 in the morning when you have to be at work for 8:00 and you realize the drive through has not moved for the past 15 minutes and theres still 10 cars ahead of you.

Thats why I like starting at 7:00 theres like nobody at timmys when its 6:45ish.

Imagine this: You’re downloading Ubuntu updates, and it asks you to restart. What if they’re just “recommended updates” (as opposed to “security updates”) that fix problems you’re not having? What if you want that little restart notification icon to go away without restarting?<ol type='1'><li>Delete /var/run/reboot-required .</li><li>Kill update-notifier .</li><li>Start update-notifier .</li></ol>It’s working so far, anyway. The update manager seems to call a shell script at /usr/share/update-notifier/notify-reboot-required to touch a file at /var/run/reboot-required . I suppose you could edit the script to not touch the file at all or, more interestingly, to e-mail someone when the machine needs to be rebooted.

Linux, asking to reboot? I knew they were making it closer to windows in terms of usability, but woah there!

Usually restarting the individual service is good enough (and is done automatically), but a handful of components, e.g., the kernel, require a restart, because you can’t really restart them without restarting everything else too.

I believe Ubuntu also asks the user to restart for X server updates, although it’s only technically necessary to restart X. (Of course, X is the system for the average user, and they shouldn’t be expected to know the difference. Still, I would like the update manager to tell the users to log out instead and then automatically restart X.)

And for a workstation guess its not that bad. But for a server reboots are avoided. I was looking at our current web host and uptime is like 200ish days lol. its awesome how linux is so stable without any reboots.

Yeah, we have linuxunix boxes with crazy uptimes like that here too. Hell we've got windows boxes with uptimes just as long... then we have ones that reboot for no reason every couple of days. Honestly though stability is just as much about what you run on a box as what OS you use. With that in mind I'd like to say that citrix blows

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Fri May 23, 2008 7:16 pm

True what you run is a big factor. And yeah don't get why citrix blows so much - like what it does is great, but its just very unreliable, and its a total PITA to setup, you have to do everything manually, such as setting securit policies. You'd think they'd make it so the installer does all that out of the box.

Theres also a funny bug where publishing a exe with no icon can cause it to crash as it tries to list the available icons during publish process. We discovered that when trying to publish a batch file that loaded an app in a certain way. I had solved that issue by making an exe with an icon in it.

I currently have an uptime of nine days and three hours. I usually average a month or so, and then something happens – essential kernel update, hardware upgrade, ripping my computer in half, etc. I just don’t see the point of shutting down when I can suspend or hibernate instead and keep all my programs opened.
