First up I'll say that your wikipedia page is going to get deleted as things currently stand. Wearing my wikipedia editor hat I'd tend to vote in favour of the deletion. The big thing is that wikipedia is *not* a place to maintain the primary source of any information. What you are trying to d

There should be a wikipedia page of movies that list sysadmins in their credits. (If there is a wikipedia page that lists "known man-made objects on the moon", why not?) Tom On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 9:09 AM, Esther Filderman wrote: > On Mon, Mar 29, 2010 at 4:41 PM, Daniel Rich wrote: > >> Drea

Dreamworks has been doing that for a couple of years. Our engineering sysadmins have more of a project focus while the operations sysadmins are more focused on day-to-day tasks and the help desk. The ESA folks tend to be the senior sysadmins and the OSAs are the more juniors, but there are exc
