So let the record be set straight &#8211; SysAdmin Day 2010 was a blast. My feeling toward the SysAdmin meet up is similar to the feeling after having installed a program upgrade for a user and having it be accepted with open arms and minimal follow-up support. Especially when in the back of your mind you were expecting the follow-up to be an afternoon of &#8220;Well the old program did x, y, and z like a, b, and c&#8221; with a few &#8220;Are you sure you can&#8217;t leave the old program installed?&#8221; mixed in for cheer. Dilbert sums up an accurate representation in the following clip of such a situation.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Dilbert.com\" href=\"http:\/\/dilbert.com\/strips\/comic\/2010-06-27\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px initial initial;\" src=\"http:\/\/dilbert.com\/dyn\/str_strip\/000000000\/00000000\/0000000\/000000\/90000\/2000\/700\/92768\/92768.strip.sunday.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Dilbert.com\" width=\"448\" height=\"201\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But I digress, SysAdmin Day was awesome on so many levels. First, it was encouraging to meet such a diverse group of admins \u00a0from departmental IT techies to gurus at <a href=\"http:\/\/maps.google.com\/?q=Google%20New%20York@40.742412,-74.004915&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Google<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Etsy<\/a>. Regardless of system size and\u00a0complexity everyone was open to talking shop or kicking back and meeting new people.\u00a0There were numerous people from all over the world who attended the meetup because they were in the city for <a href=\"http:\/\/debconf.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">DebConf<\/a> (I had no idea Perl was still so, alive! *wink*). Second, it helped foster the desire to give back to the community and made me just a little more thankful for some of the open source\u00a0projects I&#8217;ve come to love and depend on. Last, well, I may not frequent bars but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gingerman-ny.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Ginger Man<\/a> was great (a large part due to the company). My only regret was not being able to hear better above the crowd noise and having only a couple short hours to know a bit more about my fellow IT workers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/DSC_1385_tn.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[648]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-649\" title=\"SysAdmin Day NYC Welcome Poster\" src=\"http:\/\/www.insidethe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/DSC_1385_tn.jpg\" alt=\"SysAdmin Day NYC Welcome Poster\" width=\"233\" height=\"349\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you detected a hint of apprehension in my last post you weren&#8217;t mislead.
