Yep, we’re hitting this topic again this year. I’ve already got a sizeable chunk of these reserved, but I wanted to open the door for more reader input like we had last year.

The call is the same: send me your anecdotes with as much personal information about yourself as you’d like–from anonymous to name, rank and serial number.

Anecdotes should concern moves that a user(s) made that did something to the network at large (crashed a server, burned up a printer, opened a security hole, etc.). In other words something a user did that just ruined a system administrator’s day. Follow that with what you learned from this experience.

Winners get their anecdote published in the online & print story and an InfoWorld backpack–provided you provide shipping info. Get’em to me by the end of next week.
