This month's meeting features Tom Timoncelli who will be speaking about time management for system administrators.
Tom Limoncelli, www.EverythingSysadmin.com
Whether you use Perl, Python or Ruby, whether you use Windows, GNU/
Linux or Unix, all system administrators have a problem with time
management.
Users interrupt you constantly with requests, your managers want you
to get long-term projects done but flood you with requests for
quick- fixed, and the machines you manage just never behave, causing
problems at the most inopportune moments.
Tom will discuss techniques he has developed over the last 15 years
for dealing with these things — all of which (and more) can be found
in his new book from O'Reilly, Time Management for System
Administrators.
Tom Limoncelli has over 15 years of system administration experience
and has been teaching workshops on Time Management at conferences
since 2003. Tom has worked for both large and small organizations,
including Google, Bell Labs and AT&T. He speaks at conferences
around the world. His previous book, The Practice of System and
Network Administration, is considered a standard reference in system
administration and just received the Usenix/ SAGE "Outstanding
Achievement Award" for 2005. www.EverythingSysadmin.com is his web
site.
