everything looks perfect from far away

So, my system has been acting slightly funny recently. For a long time, not much stuff worked the way I wanted it to work. Then, all of a sudden, it worked (almost) perfectly. But now, it is not recognizing my cell phone as a modem, which it usually does. So, I figured it was time to reboot. I hadn’t remembered the last time I rebooted. So I went to find out how long my system had been up and running. I was quite surprised, considering this is a Windows box. 31 days and change. Wow. That’s quite a while. Then I wondered, how long has my Linux box been up? 39 days and change (not surprised by that one). Still, it’s time for a reboot.
