LOPSA-NJ - "What's the biggest problem in system administration?"2010-03-04 19:00 2010-03-04 21:30 Etc/GMT+7 "What's the biggest problem in system administration?" Date: Thursday March 4 2010 This month's meeting will be less technical, more philosophical. What's the biggest problem facing system administrators? Is it the vendors? The managers? The tools? Is it us? (nah, it couldn't be us! Must be the tools). Scaling? The inconsistant syntax of Perl? It probably isn't any one thing. calendar | 207 reads

LOPSA-NJ - Disaster Recovery, Crisis Management, Leadership and Responsibility2010-02-04 19:00 2010-02-04 21:30 US/Eastern As sysadmin I worked in state of continuous disaster recovery for three years; I did this in countries that I had never before visited, and in situations that could be extremely stressful. I'd like to pass on what I've learned from my mistakes and my successes to a wider audience. When I first started working as a sysadmin, I had enlisted in the United States Air Force as a Computer Systems Operator (3C0X1). It happened that I was assigned to the 1st Combat Communications Squadron (1CBCS) in Germany. Over the next three years I would participate in 30 exercises and several real-world missions. What a way to start a career. calendar | 559 reads

LOPSA Live December 2009 TranscriptAttached is the transcript of the December 2009 LOPSA Live session. My (pckizer) apologies for the delay in getting it posted; holiday activities and my forgetfulness colluded to lead to my lapse in posting. This was a short session we expect due to the already mentioned holiday prep on the part of many people. Volunteers and participants for SCALE are still requested as well as a pre-announcement of plans for a NJ event this coming year. Our new Executive Director, MaryBeth Kurland, was with us to be introduced as Deepa has an opportunity in a direction that takes her from primary but will still let her be available in Association Headquarters. read more | 547 reads | 1 attachment
