135 years of uptime





That equates to over 135 years.... pretty impressive, obviously a software bug but leads to interesting notion that it was around in 1880, the same time as the following:

Jan 27th 1880 - Thomas Edison patents electric incandescent lamp


Jun 1st 1880 - 1st pay telephone installed 

(In 1960, the Bell System installed its millionth pay telephone)

Jun 28th 1880 - Ned Kelly the Australian bushranger captured at Glenrowan.


Aug 2nd 1880 - British Parliament officially adopts Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
