Happy Sysadmin Day, Ken!
Today is the last Friday in July and that makes it Sysadmin Appreciation Day! As I said in my acceptance speech when I won the Locus Award for my story, When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth:
Boing Boing's sysadmin is the tireless and brilliant Ken Snider, who keeps us running so smoothly that it's easy to forget just how much work he does. A million thanks, Ken! LinkSystems administrators are the unsung heroes of the twenty first century, our tireless morlocks who keep the entire universe running. The best sysadmins I’ve met treat their jobs as holy callings. They understand that they’re keeping the infrastructure of the information age alive and functional.
