Hug your systems administrator

 The last Friday in July is a special day. A day to celebrate those without whom the world as we know it would be one big blue screen error message.

Jul. 27, 2007 | Today is the last Friday in July. This means, as Cory Doctorow reminds us at Boing Boing, that today is System Administrator Appreciation Day.

If we understand contemporary globalization as a process that is in part driven by the emergence of a global network of computers, then it is no understatement to say that sysadmins make the world go 'round. Bow down before their might and swear fealty. They deserve it.
