In Dracula's Secret, one of my heroes works as a system administrator at CERN. Yes, that CERN, home of the Hadron Collider, five Nobel Prize winners, and the World Wide Web.
Why a system administrator? Well, first, my beloved Charming Man is, himself, a system administrator at a very large facility, too. I find the way his mind thinks about information management absolutely fascinating (helps that I used to be a librarian, too).
Why CERN?
Many years ago, The Charming Man listened to a sys admin at CERN speak at a conference. My honey brought home notes about how the information systems worked at such a unique facility.
And now, I hope to arrange the chance to tour CERN itself. I go to delve into the mysteries of arranging a tour!
Edited to add: I submitted my request form along with a little note about wanting to ask about information systems. I hope they are amenable.
Nerds rock!
