Newton webserver still lives

npdslarge.jpgSometime around 6 months ago I remember checking out Grant Hutchinson's Newton webserver , running NewtonOS and Newton personal data sharing.  Grant had been running a section of his site with his Newton.  Much to my surprise, when I went back to visit his site; lo and behold, the Newton is still serving up the pages!  Granted the server had only been up for a little over an hour, thats still pretty amazing. 

Grant also has a web screen cast if you want to see whats on the Newton's screen at the moment, a listing of installed packages, and some other stats.  Its worth a look.  Lets see if we can flood it with traffic and crash it...

yea, I figured you had set a cron on there for a reboot.

Hey Jacob. The reason it appears that the server was only up for an hour is that the time counter resets after each reboot. My Newton has been running (with restarts) without my intervention since the middle of March. Occasionally things get gummed up and I have to forcibly reboot the little guy. Thanks for the mention, regardless.
