The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin

Posted by michael on from the LART dept.

I_Love_Pocky! writes "Sysadmin Co. is a hilarious site built by some sysadmins at an ISP to help them vent their frustrations with dealing with non-tech types. This site is gives a hilarious picture of the daily frustrations of dealing with the inept. I am interested to see if these stories strike a chord with other admins out there."

    Site not hilarious, not well designed either. Have to scroll to read more than a half dozen lines of text in a story. It basicaly a small handful of stories about customers that don't understand DNS. As a sysadmin type, I was sorely dissapointed. Not only that, but the site melted almost right away. Yawn, next?

    Actually one program I found REALLY good for things like that is "Deep Freeze". It lets boot up and you notice nothing different but you CAN'T change the drive. Once you reboot it will go back to normal. Your user could delete the windows dir, it would break then simply reboot and it comes back. This would be good for more public computers not as much a "personal" computer. You can always "thaw" a drive if you wanted to tho.
