I lucked out, too. The world's not fair: I'm hosting a bunch of stupid sites on my Linode in New Jersey (like http://histaniputyourpictureonthewebihopeyoudontmind.com/ ), whereas I bet some other people with Linode problems are losing money. I feel for them.

EDIT: I just checked my uptime and it looks like my linode was rebooted. But I never noticed (and I was actually logged in and working there a lot today).
