[ale] uptime

[Jim Kinney]

Dang! Totally forgot to mention the server I helped a friend move hot and
live to keep his 1000+ day uptime. We opened the box, split open the power
supply, hot spliced the output from a DC/AC power inverter and 2 fully
charged car batteries into the AC feed lines, parked the hard drive heads,
pulled the wall plug and secured the now very dangerous ends, put the server
on the hand truck with the batteries and inverter and walked the entire pile
2 blocks through downtown Atlanta to the new building and set it all back up
in it's new home.

Of course the building power failed about a month later and it was all just
exercise in dangerous geekdom as the generators failed to kick in for an
hour!
