Today Sysadminday is 2009! Time to Celebrate!

Dear Admins and friends. Today it is once again ready. The annual Sysadminday, which is now celebrated on the 10th is at times. Thanks to all the hard-working colleagues around the globe

The emergence of Sysadminday's

tedwires200 The "System Administrator Appreciation Day" will take place since 28 July 2000 each year on the last Friday of the month of July. The memorial was created by the system administrator Ted Kekatos. Kekatos was inspired by a display of Hewlett-Packard, in a system with flowers and fruit baskets thanked employees will be because he has installed new printers.

He should serve the system, usually carried out his tasks in the background, without attracting much attention, once a year to thank for his good work.

Although the creation of this Memorial Day certainly has some humorous aspects, the grave is behind the background to thank also the people whose work is not always noticed immediately and you usually only cries when something does not work.

What does a sysadmin, and why he deserves a little recognition!

adminschicksal A sysadmin unpacked a server for this site, closed the electricity to installed, an operating system and took care of the air conditioning in the server room, monitored it, put software that makes backups in the event that something goes wrong. Everything on this site.

A sysadmin installed router, laid cables, configured the network, put on firewalls, looked at the traffic at each node which the website by copper, glass, and even by air to bring you can.

A sysadmin takes care that your network connection is safe and stable. A sysadmin is also concerned about how your computer is running stable in a healthy network.

If a server stops by 2 clock in the morning to work, the sysadmin will angepiept, he gets up and goes to work.

A sysadmin is a professional, he is planning, handles, patches, protects, defends and makes good computer networks, to bring your data to work.

So if you can read this, thank your sysadmin! He is just one of hundred of the cares that you can receive your e-mails from America, your message from Australia, your phone call from India. Show your appreciation!

10 tips for sensitive systems administration

A very nice article, it is simply worth to mention it. Written by Martin Strings in IBM developerWorks blog - thanks for that great

Benjamin Franklin: scientist, scholar, statesman, and. . . systems administrator? Yes, 200 years or so before the birth of UNIX ®, Franklin scribed say advice to keep systems humming. Here are 10 of Franklin's more notable tips.

Ask anyone about Benjamin Franklin, and you'll likely hear about his experiments with electricity, his participation in the founding of the United States, and his invention of bifocals. Less well known but nonetheless impressive, therefore, advocated the adoption of Franklin paper currency, printed money with innovative anti-counterfeiting techniques, established the United States Postal Service, and formed the colonies' first fire department-the Union Fire Company in Philadelphia in 1736 . In fact, centuries before Smokey the Bear, Franklin proffered sound fire safety advice, famously stating, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Wise words and pertinent to this very day-especially if you're a UNIX systems administrator .
