Ping. Clunk.
After nearly 60 hours of uptime running the latest Newton Personal Data Sharing modules, my Newton server stopped working. Not to worry, it’s not a permanent situation. In testing this new thread-safe version of the NPDS software, I’ve stopped using the NPDS Watcher component. The Watcher would keep an eye on the various connections and threads on the Newton and would reboot the device if the server stopped doing what it was supposed to do. With nothing watching what what going on, nothing happened when the server stopped responding to connection attempts. You could ping, but nobody was home. Still, having more than two days constant uptime is a bit of a record for this software. A big tilt of the sombrero to Paul Guyot, the big brain behind the current development branch of NPDS. Kudos can wait, however. Right now, it’s time to go home and reboot my Newton.
