Happy National Sys Admin Appreciation Day!
July 27th, 2007 javier
Its that time of year again. Yes, a very SAAD day, indeed. That is, Sys Admin Appreciation Day!
On this day, I encourage all you “users” out there to follow 10 simple rules to really show your appreciation:
1. Remember your password
2. Fix your printer yourself.
3. If you get the message “Critical System Updates Available”, don’t ignore it. Take the updates.
4. Don’t get your laptop stolen.
5. Use sudo, not root
6. If it was working yesterday, something changed. Fess up
7. Check to make sure its plugged in
8. RTFM
9. Don’t open that .exe your nice new stranger friend sent you.
10. If its 4:55 pm, let it go. It can wait until Monday.
