While universities can be a great place to build your technical knowledge, real-world experience and free courses on the web can give you a foundation for what the market really needs and for innovating…
Nice tip! I'll also suggest that anyone who does join should consider putting you down as the person who referred them: http://campus.acm.org/public/mgm/

So you got laid off. As did thousands of other highly qualified scientists, engineers and technical prof…
Great post, Jason.
So can you tell us -- what exactly >did< happen in this case? Please, give us all the gory details! What was the end effect, and was there anything that could be done to fix it?
Looks like we made 500 users! Awesome! Congratulations Elizabeth and Michael (and all you other sysadmins!)
So, in reference to the digest email that was sent out the other day:
"Do you want more advice on solutions? (Like the Wikis in the Workplace thread)"
That's always good. I like to hear what other people are using and how they're using it. So far t…
Wow! Okay, I retract my vote for a gerbil cannon. Plus, after a while, the area pet stores are bound to get suspicious after you keep buying out all of their rodents.
And there I had you down as the peaceful kind :-). Failing the gerbil cannon, there's always the Rapid Fire 20!
I vote for buying a gerbil cannon.

SysAdmin Network – what’s it all about?
There is no shortage of sites offering technical advice and news to Sys Admins, so why a social network?
It is true, there are plenty of technical sites (eg. Microsoft TechNet, TechTarget sites like SearchStorage and SearchSecurity), but in contrast to the Linux community, Microsoft-centric sites tend to leave me… Continue

- Indeed. I feel like I'm doing some kind of bombing run when I make these greeting rounds. Just call me The Carpet Bomber of Friendliness.

- Ah..
For next year, the Large Installation part of LISA is pretty much a misnomer. From what they tell me, large installations are represented, but so are medium and small. In fact, I'm attending a workshop called microLISA specifically for small infrastructures.
If you'd like, I can get you in touch with the right USENIX people who could probably get you the demographics for the event.
Let me know if you're interested!

- Elizabeth, it looks like you're RSVP'd to LISA in Baltimore! Are you really going to be there?

Andrew Hale said… - Elizabeth, first off thanks for the comment. I've gotten some good advice from other admins (a few are on here). I've got a plan, now it's just taking everything one more step at a time. Unfortunately, I'm at a brink where if I bag one more bag of groceries or make one more Baconator, I'll snap!
Second, and most of all, Thank you for creating a site like this. I've been wanting to be a SysAdmin for going on 4 years and I've been rather surprised at how few sites there are for such a techie job. At first it was just a couple Networking sections on various PC and IT forums. Between ServerFault, PlanetSysAdmin aggregator, and this awesome site you and Michael have made, it's awesome. Not just great for a SysAdmin-in-training like myself, but for those in the trenches and livin' the life.
Thank you for the site, and Thank you for the warm welcome.
(P.S. - I do have IT related photos, but my last 2 jobs have very modest IT needs.)

milt mallory said… - Well, we're not completely happy with what we have for monitoring like most folks I suspect. Zenoss just got moved from the back burner toward the front, so I might comment on our early experience (mostly good) comparing it to (our particular) Nagios setup.
