“I Got My Jet Pack and I'm Still Not Happy”
David Blank-Edelman

Systems administration needs help. Over the last twenty-five years or so I've watched the tools we've used just barely be able to keep up with the challenges of our field. New advancements in user interfaces get promised, offered, adopted and then shed with nothing but temporary relief. In this "from the trenches" talk we'll look some of the challenges that have thwarted our best efforts. I'll also show you some of my puny attempts to poke at the beast from new directions and see if I can enlist your expertise in the battle.
