No system is an island - Using Windows And Tech Step By Step

Friday July 27 2007 - Systems Admin Day.

Definition of a sysadmin as per www.sysadminday.com is :

A sysadmin is a professional, with complex skills, ethical challenges, and a daunting job. Many, if not most, people find computers difficult to use, and sometimes they're unreliable. Being a sysadmin doesn't absolve someone of dealing with unreliable computers. Oh, one can dream of such a day, but the opposite is true; no one sees more dead computers in a day than a sysadmin. No one sees them doing truly baffling things, and no one has more stories of computers failing, acting possessed, or even catching on fire.

The challenge of a sysadmin is making a computing system -- a whole network of resources and servers and software -- work together, work right, work even when parts of it fail -- and work for you.

It was business as usual,however the day seemed special.

So all you folks out there who control the boxes that can be pinged or tracerouted....Happy Systems Admin Day.
