*cough*

Not exactly sysadmin.  Close, but not quite.  I was more of a netadmin/webdev 
person.

I stopped doing that sometime before the year ended.  Dwight pissed me off so 
badly when I couldn't teach him how to get things out of CVS so he could push 
my work for the website live.  I didn't have root on the webserver (and I 
wasn't risking expulsion by rooting the box), so he was the one I had to ask.  
I got to the point to where I wrote up a shell script on my box at home to 
tarball and upload a snapshot from CVS and made cron execute it every 8 hours.  
I made it even simpler by linking to the damned current tarball from my 
homepage.  Okey... still no pushing my work live.  Right.

Any and every little bit of that project is gone now.  Byebye.  See yah later!  
I did end up investing a good... eh... week on that damn thing, though.  Wrote 
the it almost entirely in shell, too.  Shows you how much of an obscure coder I 
can be :P

BTW, that was something out of the kindness of my heart.  *laughs*  IMHO, I got 
reamed.  Remind me never to do something like that without an agreement of some 
kind other than verbal.  And, I'm not necessairly pushing for a legal 
agreement, either.  I mean, something that has a merit that two parties agreed 
on something that was supposed to be done; something 'tangible', if you will.

Pfft.  What a joke...
