Boing Boing: 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: Systems 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.

Hey, I did not know this. My husband David is a kind of sysadmin of the various systems, computers, archives, and professional and personal endeavors here at Chez Gique, and as it happens, when I came home on Friday I appreciated him very much.
