Time Management for System Administrators Thomas A. Limoncelli
Publisher: O'Reilly Media

Just finished reading Time Management for System Administrators by Thomas A. S previous path translation management system required users to manually define translation mappings at submission time. Time Management for System Administrators looks like its going to break the cycle. I work for a trucking company myself and while I do not have trouble with getting the funds into the systems (for the most part), I am expected to install it all and manage it all, which becomes quite a task. Take the more recent example of Anthony Almodovar, a system administrator (and fellow SpiceHead) with Smith Trucking. System administrators spend time validating the design and implementation and then must provide appropriate monitoring and management. Time management for system administrators deals with focus, prioritisation and a simple-but-effective system of managing requests (I use a variation on this system to manage my daily and ongoing workload). I highly recommend this book to every System and Network Administrator. I bought it yesterday at Digital Guru (their last copy) on my way to the colo in San Jose. I'm happy to announce that Time Management for System Administrators (O'Reilly) is now available on Kindle (both Kindle 1, 2 and iPhone), and is being sold without any DRM. He takes his time to present his time management technique and explain why and how it works. The other half of the book is spent imparting his wisdom from almost 25 years of system administration. The proliferation of configuration management packages changes that. We specialize in providing IT support and implementation services to law firms in the Metro Vancouver area. The ServerFault Systems Administration team continues its growth with the addition of sysadmin icon Thomas Limoncelli. Time was my most valued currency. BMC Networks is Managed IT Services Provider located in downtown Vancouver. Tools, such as Puppet and Chef, make it easy for systems administrators to maintain multiple servers at one time and quickly upload information. This year, I'm using a Mead at a glance planner that fits with a work mgmt system described in Tom Limoncelli's book, TIME MANAGEMENT FOR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS.
