Cake and Video

We all learned something new on Friday – System Administration Appreciation Day.

Even our infrastructure team didn’t know about it! It was first organized by Ted Kekatos in 2000 and has been celebrated every year on the last Friday of July. You can read an interview with him here.

We marked the day with a cake but I will leave the words of appreciation to Praveen Kumar:

To all the sysads (infra team), who toil every day in relative anonymity ensuring the services we rely on stay operational, I say thank you.  It is you that make things work, keep the users, developers and the managers happy day after day.

For a more amusing celebration check out this video on the UK’s Unix & Open Systems User Group website.
