Today is the System Administrator Appreciation Day<\/a>. \u00a0I wish a happy sysadmin day to everyone who ever took their time to answer a stupid question for a billionth time without resolving to violence, to everyone who ever spent a night or a weekend in the office fixing a problem that he didn’t create, to everyone who makes IT infrastructure invisible until there is a problem, to everyone who spent their own free time to make things better for the rest of the world, to everyone who despite working hard and taking a lot of initiative is often the first person to blame, to everyone who spent hours in the freezing datacenters or on pan-frying roofs or in dark and stinky basements, to everyone who’s mobile phone receives dozens of SMS messages every hour 24×7, to everyone who’s mobile number is posted on all office white-boards with the caption “Emergency”, to everyone … you got the idea.<\/p>\n

If you know a sysadmin, take a minute of your time, go and say “Thank you”. \u00a0If you have some change in your pocket, buy your sysadmin a pint of beer. \u00a0If you are a hot girl, go give him a kiss and a hug. \u00a0Or her. \u00a0If you are not a sysadmin, you don’t have and probably won’t ever have an idea of how hard these people work to make your life easier. \u00a0It’s their day today.<\/p>\n
