Nyarly's Journal: Nyarly, Cogigrex

I want 5 year old English speaking children all over the world to learn the name of my profession alongside Doctor, Lawyer, Plumber, Fireman and Policeman. For that to happen, it needs to be easy to say and remember. Digital Systems Analyst is utterly useless. Sysadmin is incomplete. Geek and techhead miss the idea of a job.

In response to the "what should sysadmins, programmers, and network engineers should call themselves" I still like the idea of the word cogigrex (cahj ee grex) n. One who herds thought.) The roots are certainly bastardized, and any Latin speakers in the audience are encouraged to pipe up with corrections. Or even other suggestions for a good solid English word for Data Systems Professional that a kindergartener could learn.
