    Longest I've ever done was 72 hours in the office.

    University research department withbugger all security and got hacked big time. Ended up pulling the plug to the outside world and rebuilding 50 or so Sun servers cos we had no idea which ones were compromised or how badly.

    I slept during the patch updates for each batch.

    Department manager decided to spring for a proper firewall and some network security after that.
