A boring way to go about this would be simply to monitor the server for downtime, and record when it became accessible again. But impatience is one of the three great programmer's virtues, and the best way to predict the future is to create it, and so forth, so I decided on a more proactive approach: crash it!" A nice reminder to stay on dfranke's good side.
