He he. Just got a report of the uptime of one of my web servers this morning, prior to it being shutdown for a physical location move.

The uptime was 1002 days, 12 hours and 36 minutes. I think that's a personal record...

Its worth noting that I've changed nothing on that server in that whole time (beyond some critical security patches).

Most of the time, to some extent, change = disruption. Despite the best laid plans... that might be because change always opens up a new window for human error.

But I think it's probably more often just sod's law, or a similar principle.
