    Last year, on July 29th, we asked you to show a little love to your sysadmin because, without them, our world would probably come to a screeching halt. We suggested a card, or at least a polite nod in the hallway. Instead, you went all out and actually gave them a bit of raise. That doesn't mean you can let System Administrator Appreciation Day slip by this year without acknowledgment, however. We're not saying you've got to outdo yourselves and get them some sort of super yacht -- a simple thanks will do. But, they probably wouldn't mind a repeat of last year's gift either.

    Blog posts listing the 'top ten apps for OS X,' or '25 apps that will make your Mac happy,' are a dime a dozen. You are bound to see Quicksilver, Growl, Adium, and the like on those lists. It is a rare occurrence for me to find a blog post that recommends software that I have never heard of, and that is gear towards the geekiest of the geeky: the system and network admins.Niranjan Kunwar has compiled a list of OS X apps that are great tools for anyone who needs to admin servers or networks alike. It certainly isn't comprehensive, but it is a great start.Sysadmins out there, what are some of your favorite Mac apps?
