Poor Man's Monitoring Tool

A couple days ago I was mindlessly browsing the web when suddenly my internet went out. With it being 1am, it was a clear sign for me to go to bed, but I ignored it and just hopped on my phone for a bit. 30 minutes later I noticed the internet was still out and I was kinda pissed. (As if I was doing anything actually important.) Usually these outages only last about 10-15 minutes or so. I then decided to think more rationally and realized it was probably some maintenance upgrade since the outage started almost exactly at 1am. I was curious how long this outage would last and decided to create the greatest uptime script known to mankind:

@echo off

:internet
ping 8.8.8.8 -n 1 | find "Reply" >> gimmeINTERNET!.txt
echo %time% >> gimmeINTERNET!.txt
goto internet

Forget Uptime Kemu, this batch script is clearly better and much more sophisticated.

The next morning I woke up to this master piece:

Through my genius and ingenuity I was able to figure out that the network went back online at 7:35am. After doing some heavy calculations for a couple hours, I figured out that the maintenance took roughly 7 hours and 30 minutes. All that maintenance and my internet speed is still shit, pathetic.
