by I am really excited that I am going to go to PICC (http://picconf.org). The organizers have put together some great short videos of some of the speakers. I like this one:
http://www.youtube.com/user/lopsavideo#p/u/12/oK4cg7R3_88
Tom Limoncelli interviews Eben Haber, PICC keynote speaker, about his research, his keynote topic, and why he is excited to come to the conference. (PICC is the Professional IT Community Conference May 7-8, 2010, New Brunswick, NJ, USA; http://picconf.org, brought to you by the New Jersey chapter of the League of System Administrators (LOPSA), a non-profit educational organization.)
Hear Eben talk about capturing sysadmin activities in the wild, helping your bosses to understand what it is you actually do, the collaborative efforts needed among sysadmins, and the increasing complexity of sysadmin tasks these days. Sysadmins are important!
