[Balug-admin] S.F.: BALUG 2006-03-21: Tom Limoncelli: Time Management for System Administrators

[Michael Paoli]

For the 2006-03-21 Bay Area Linux Users Group (BALUG) meeting, we have
as guest presenter Tom Limoncelli, of Google, on:
Time Management for System Administrators (and everyone else too)

synopsis:

Whether you use Perl, Python or Ruby, whether you use Windows, 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".
