It's Sysadmin Appreciation Day, and that means it's time, once again, to give our dear, tireless, essential administrator Ken Snider a sliver of the thanks that are his due.
I've worked with Ken for more than ten years, and he's been with Boing Boing almost that long, rescuing us from a DDoS attack — just one of the many, many times he's come to our rescue. Today he's running several side-projects for us at Boing Boing, like administering our Tor exit node and setting up our long-overdue SSL-by-default.
Thank you sincerely, Ken, for all the midnight calls and overtime, the thankless hours and the smart sleuthing, the vital foresight and the brilliant flashes. We owe you, buddy!
