Hey, it's July 29, and that means that it's Sysadmin Appreciation Day, and once again, it's time to all the systems administrators who toil through the nights, the holidays and the weekends to keep all our machines and networks running. I've been a sysadmin, but I was never fit to power-cycle the router of the administrators whom I am privileged to work with today, including the incomparable Ken Snider, who has kept Boing Boing running for years and years, through thick and thin, but not forgetting the likes of Boing Boing's Dean Putney, our spamfighting sumbission-ninja Chris Smith, Mark Perkel, the folks at Canonical, and all the other skilled technicians, gurus, troubleshooters, firefighters, and technological saviours I've had cause to rouse at odd hours to fix things that they didn't break.
Thank you, sysadmins: you keep the universe running!
