Hello, Just wanted to do a little self-advertizing and point out that I'll be giving a talk at next Wednesday's NYCBug meeting: http://www.nycbug.org/index.php?NAV=Home;SUBM=10226 The talk is entitled "Building Better Tools" and has the following sales pitch: Every System Administrator has his or her own set of tools, programs and scripts; within every organization, every team of engineers has theirs. This means that a lot of the software used to maintain the infrastructure around the internet is written by people who are not (primarily) software developers. This talk tries to explain how these people can build better tools: tools that scale well, programs that can easily be extended, systems that behave well. While not specific to BSD systems in general and completely programming language agnostic, this talk focuses on a number of principles, guidelines and concepts that should apply to virtually any system administrator`s or engineer`s daily routine. I believe you can drink BEER not only before and after, but even while attending this talk, so please stop by! -Jan
