When was the last time you thanked your SysAdmin?

SysAdmin day is celebrated on the last friday of July every year around the world. With this year's SysAdmin Appreciation Day just a week away, we wonder how much importance companies around us give to the overworked and (mostly) underpaid SysAdmins! Do companies still think that they are a necessary overhead? Do they still try in vain to figure out how to calculate their effort into monetary gains for the company? Are they respected as much as they should have been? Or, are they also dragged into the nasty politics that is typical of Indian companies? Were they ever provided with enough system resources they needed?

Well, we feel that more and more companies in India started looking at SysAdmins as valuable assets to their companies than they were a few years ago.

As a coworker, when was the last time you thanked your SysAdmin? Not that they expect someone to appreciate them, but still, they do need a pat for all the good work they do - silently.


As a company or coworker,  feel free to appreciate your system admin(s) at least on the SysAdmin Day on coming friday (July 30, 2010).

A funny experience with DTDC Couriers

The delivery boy from DTDC couriers says that they can deliver our consignments only between 1 and 2PM. Just to pick on us, they have sent one of our consignments back to the sender instead of working it out with us on the best time of delivery. It seems that these service-motive souls try to teach us something! Requesting all our clients not to send us any communication through these great courier company as we are not at their level of professionalism as of today :-) We do not want just some kind of service - we want top-notch service.

Summer Training Batches

Getting ready for summer training batches that we will be starting soon.

Still at work

2010 has come already, while we are busy announcing our new hosting offer (2x Hosting) and modifying the hosting server's firewall wrapper (which is causing unnecessary extra load). Fine, let's hope for the better and let's hope the decision makers in our state and country talk and act sensibly, rather than act like comedians. We have had enough entertainment already, watching their flawed theories and actions ;-) We wonder where we are heading by using words like "high command" in a democratic setup!
