Tom Limoncelli: Time Mgmt for SysAdmins

6 pm, Soho Apple Store at 103 Prince Street

Who has the time for 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 
including:

     * How to find time to get projects done
     * The best way to manage interruptions from users
     * Open Source tools for tracking requests
     * How to turn chaos into free time

If you pre-order his book, there is a small chance it will arrive by the 
meeting so that it can be autographed.
