I supported servers in California and Japan, and clients in London, Sydney, Tokyo, Rome, Seattle, and Redwood City all from Austin. Rarely should a sysadmin need to physically touch a machine; usually that job is reserved for junior staff. In Google's case, they mostly just reboot ill-behaving machines without diagnosing them and send crews through the racks on a weekly basis to reap dead hardware and add new machines to the clusters. A few of my coworkers from Excite got jobs there after Excite died from the cancer of AT&T; Google has a very small sysadmin staff compared to the number of machines thay have deployed, at least as of a year or so ago. > Robert Haig wrote: > >> I like how they now add "relocation is a must" >> >> twice this guy has contacted me about this position, and twice I've >> told him that hell would freeze over before I lived in california, but >> he could pay me the Mountain View salary, I'd live in Austin, and fly >> myself to meetings >> once a week. >> >> guess they've gotten a lot of those responses.

Very interesting jobs, though. It would be ideal if > google had built an op center here. I used to admin AIX and HPUX servers in Dallas from the Pepsico office in Wichita. Only the hardware wranglers need to have access to the machines. Pretty much you need someone to rack the servers, do the tape shuffle, cycle power if you don't have the gear to do it remotely and let the SEs in to work on the hardware when it breaks. Everything else can be done remotely. I don't think I ever actually touched the machines at Pepsico. During my stint at Deja, I think I actually went to the co-lo maybe twice.

There have been some recent developments on the YAPC::NA front, and it has been suggested to us that a reminder might be helpful to some people, so here's a quick summary of the event. Summary ------- YAPC::NA 2005 (Yet Another Perl Conference, North America) in Toronto, Canada, Monday - Wednesday 27 - 29, June 2005 Home page: http://yapc.org/America/ Conference Location: http://89chestnut.com/ A facility of the University of Toronto Accommodations -------------- Normally registration information would come first, but accommodations are the bottleneck -- our main group reservation (at the conference hotel) expires at the end of the week, and as the conference approaches it will be extremely difficult to find a hotel anywhere in the city. Info on how to book at: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml Registration ------------ Register now! :-) We are on track to break attendance records at YAPC::NA this year, and we could even sell out before the conference starts. The price for the full 3 days is USD$85. We keep it insanely low through many generous sponsorships and the all-volunteer organizational and speaking crews. Registration info: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml Direct registration link: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference_id=423 Conference Speaking Schedule ---------------------------- We've got an excellent selection of talks and speakers for Perl programmers of all levels, beginner through expert. We are fortunate enough to have presentations coming from some of the most recognizable names in Perl programming today, including Larry Wall, Chip Salzenberg, Dan Sugalski, Autrijus Tang and brian d foy.

MoinMoin )http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/) has a nice feature set, templates, no db requirement, good access control, and is fairly easy to set up. It's written in python and should run anywhere python does. I hesitantly recommend PhpWiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/) because while it has a good feature set, development and release is erratic. After a long period of inactivity, it's now under active development but the difference between CVS HEAD (current) and stable is pretty large, so you have your choice of older code (and attendant update issues once they issue a new stable release) or the moving target of the current 'release candidate.' That said, it works well enough. It's PHP-based (duh) and can run with or without a database (GDBM, MySQL, others.) I've installed Mediawiki (http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/) but haven't done much with it. It's based on PHP & MySQL with dependencies on Ghostscript and TeTeX. It can be run under Windows but the developers don't recommend it and they freely admit it's only been tested under Linux. That said, Mediawiki is the engine behind Wikipedia and it has good support for math typesetting and print publication, hence the dependencies on (Te)TeX and Ghostscript. It may be overkill for your client's needs but it has interesting features that others don't. Speaking of overkill, Tiki (http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php) is a full-blown CMS, Wiki, etc. The documentation is massive (350 pages), the release schedule is coherent and stable and overall the project is stunningly professional. Tiki also uses PHP & MySQL and it has installation instructions for most common platforms including IIS & MS-SQL if you're so inclined. I never quite sorted out access control or configuration but I also didn't put a lot of time into it; I'm certain all my questions would have been answered had I spent more time with the docs. Dokuwiki (http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:dokuwiki) gets a good recommendation from the brain trust on the SAGE (System Administrator's Guild http://www.sage.org/) mailing list. It looks straightforward enough, with an emphasis on web standards and documentation preparation. It's also PHP & MySQL-based. Finally, Twiki (http://www.twiki.org/) is perl-based, it's been around for a while and has all the basic features you'd expect plus a lot of sample applications and templates that might be what your organization needs. IIRC it doesn't require a database. There may be load issues. Otherwise, Twiki has cleaned up their page design dramatically since I first evaluated it. Summary: I'd play with the sandbox of each one, try a test installation, see how easy each is to secure and backup, and then find the easiest one to maintain with the simplest (most managable) feature set. I originally settled on PhpWiki because, never having used a wiki, PhpWiki was much easier to understand than Twiki; more features doesn't necessarily mean better usability. This was 3 or so years ago and the situation is different now. -- Bob From taylor at codecafe.com Sat May 21 18:46:11 2005 From: taylor at codecafe.com (Taylor Carpenter) Date: Sat, 21 May 2005 20:46:11 -0500 Subject: APM: Wiki choice?

A friend of mind uses Moin Moin all the time and the experience I have had has been good. It is python based. It seems to be fairly simple to use. I have been using Twiki for years. There are tons of plugins and extension for it. I have set it up for use at a university and other places. I use a skin called Koala Skin. It allows organizing "webs" into catogeries with "tabs" to quickly navigate to them. It also has quick edit features. I use forms, the table plugin, spread sheet plugin, and several others to add useful features for tracking jobs and other things. I advise using mod_perl to make things run faster. Another nice new extension allows the use of webdav for editing pages and supports versioning, etc. The two alternatives to Twiki I have considered are Mediawiki and Trac. Mediawiki is used as Wikipedia and seems very responsive. Trac is actually a project management system. It includes a CVS/subversion interface, wiki, issue tracking, etc. For project tracking I would pick Trac if I did not already have such a extensive Twiki setup. For a general purpose... or knowledge base wiki I would pick Twiki again over anything I have found except possibly Mediawiki. Then again having the perl core tends to tip the favor towards Twiki.
