http://www.cmdln.org/ 2008/ 08/ 29/ 10-traits-of-a-successful-sysadmin/

I was recently asked how I became a Systems Administrator. I answered with the normal story of my life and moved on. However, it got me thinking about what has actually led me to where I am.

Sustained IO on EBS == No Bueno
http://www.protocolostomy.com/ 2008/ 08/ 27/ sustained-io-on-ebs-no-bueno/

I have a small EC2 instance running with a 25GB EBS volume attached. It has a database on it that I need to manipulate by doing things like dropping indexes and creating new ones. This is on rather large (multi-GB, millions of rows) tables.

More Adventures in Amazon EC2 (and EBS)
http://www.protocolostomy.com/ 2008/ 08/ 27/ more-adventures-in-amazon-ec2-and-e…

PyWorks Conference Schedule Posted
http://www.protocolostomy.com/ 2008/ 08/ 27/ pyworks-conference-schedule-posted/…

Hi all, The schedule for PyWorks has been posted! I’m really excited about three things: 1) there are some really cool talks that I’m looking forward to attending. There are a couple of sysadmin-related talks, AppEngine, TurboGears, Django, and an area I’ve been especially slow to move into: testing (I know, shame on me).
