I started Server Check.in , a simple website and server uptime monitoring service, almost four years ago. I built it when I was in the hospital and recovering from mono (symptoms were worse because of one of the Crohn's-related drugs I was taking), and it's been a very slowly-but-steadily growing service since.
I wrote a four-year retrospective post on the service, and published it on the Server Check.in blog: Four years running Server Check.in .
It's one of the many side projects I run under the umbrella of Midwestern Mac, LLC , and it's nice to be able to look back and see all the progress I've made, where the work has taken me (e.g. publishing a book on Ansible!)... and to realize that I was finally able to finish that retrospective post because of some free time afforded by another Crohn's-related hospitalizationâthis time due to surgery.
So Crohn's is good for progress in building and expanding Server Check.in, at least :)
