Ask HN: T-shirt gift idea for a friendly sysadmin?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm leaving a company where the nicest sysadmin works. I'm thinking of giving him a tshirt as gift for all the time he helped me.

Any ideas? His qualities are being humble, friendly, and he knows too much about linux and drones :D

Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with gift cards. Amazon, ThinkGeek, whatever. Or, y'know, a nice thank-you card. "Hey, you're awesome, thank you for everything you've done for me."

It seems to me that Think Geek has some good ones, e.g. a "bow before me, for I am root." Or he might enjoy some of the "O'Really Associates" tee shirts.

Humble you say? "The sysadmin giveth and the sysadmin taketh away."

Custom printed: #1 sudo

The joke is it's a bash comment.
