Is there a more accessible intro to Prolog for someone who is a sysadmin and is trying to write more code.

I've looked at and read a bunch of different Prolog books. In my opinion the best one is `Programming in Prolog: Using the ISO Standard' by Clocksin & Mellish. It's actually one of my favorite programming books. Do all the exercises!

If you are looking for an on-line resource nick_dm's suggestion for http://www.learnprolognow.org/ is spot on.
If you would like a book, I cannot recommend "The Art of Prolog" by Sterling and Shapiro enough. It gives a very understandable introduction to the language and is focused on teaching you how to approach different problem spaces while "thinking" in Prolog.
I recently started reading http://www.learnprolognow.org/ and the first few chapters have been excellent. There are exercises and practical sections at the end of each chapter too (unfortunately I haven't had time to look at them in detail yet).
