 Sysadmin heroes[2007-06-24 12:17:40] 
Woke up earlier than usual today, and lay in bed reading mail and my feeds on BlogLines on my PDA.

A long-time blog I have been following is that of the guy who got me into keeping an online diary in first place (I refuse to call it a blog) - Wil Wheaton - blogger extraordinaire, great writer and fantastic human being over all. And oh yes, Ensign Wesley Crusher from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

When Wil says something is worth reading, I usually take his advice, especially since his reading tastes (and software tastes - he is a Linux user) closely resemble my own.

This morning, he pointed us at a story by Cory Doctorow called When Sysadmins Ruled the Earth.

He claimed to have read it through in one go, which is a tall claim these days - no one writes that well anymore.

I was wrong.

I read the story through in one go, beginning to end, no stops. Before I even had my first coffee of the day.

This is truly a story written for people of today. Every sysadmin is going to love it.

Go read it.

Now.
