Sysadmin day!

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

No, we "power cycle the box"...

Also, we don't hit things to make them work. We indulge in "percussive maintenance".

I don't know why I'm saying "we" - I haven't been a sysadmin for half a decade!

As an electrician we cure lots of things by 'power cycling' them, it sounds better than 'I switched it off then back on' where I work now they say 'recycled' instead of power cycle. recycle is a term that I don't like, it makes it sound like you threw it in an appropriate receptacle and fitted a new one. Powe cycle is much better
