Book tip: “Time management for system admins” by Thomas A. Limoncelli

Just some practical sentences about this book from 2005 by Thomas A. Limoncelli.

If you are working in Information Security or in Information Technology in general, and you need to improve managing your time and prioirities, this book deals with this eternal topic from a light (and IT based) viewpoint.

I do not favour a lot the omnipresent self-help books. However, this book could help if the reader needs to improve on this field or is under a lot of stress.

In a nuthsell, I would like to high light three points on time management:

- It needs to follow a focused and committed methodology.
- It helps organising any aspect of life.
- IT people has the advantage of being able to devise and use automation.

Happy reading!

2017 InfoSec Tweet Awards

Another year done.  You know what that means?  It's time for the annual InfoSec Tweets Awards!  This marks the 6th year running.  As you long as you keep reading them, I'll keep writing them. 

As in previous years, there are no actual awards.  These are just funny or thought provoking tweets that I've "favorited" over the year (I still refuse to call them "likes").  As always, categories are completely arbitrary and I make them up as I go along...

That's a wrap for 2017.  It's been an interesting year filled with record breaking breaches, crypto malware and the like.  No doubt this has kept many of you busy and as the year winds down it's my hope that this annual post will give you a laugh or two .  Feel free to comment below with any Twitter gems that I inevitably overlooked.  

I wish you all health and happiness in 2018 and hope to see many of you soon.  

Happy New Year!
