They say on the Internet Pictures, or it didn’t happen. So I just want to give you my assurances that the System Administrator’s Appreciation Day Dinner did actually happen!

System Administrator Appreciation Day falls on 27 July this year, a global celebration of System Administrators around the world. To see what System Administrators do,
have a look at some of the systems they have to administer.
After the KWLUG meeting in July, Becky asked me where System Administrator Appreciation Day is being held. “It’s a global event”, I said, but Becky was hoping for something a bit more local. So we decided to have a System Administrator Appreciation Day Dinner. What better way for System Administrators to celebrate than by treating ourselves to dinner?

So, if you’re a System Administrator, married to one, or good friends come join us!
Friday, 27 July 2012 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm

If you’re planning on coming, let me know
by e-mail or
in the comments by Wednesday 25 July so that I can reserve enough seats and egg rolls for everyone.
