I recently had the opportunity to speak to Matt Simmons, of http://www.standalone-sysadmin.com/blog. He just moved to NJ and also joined LOPSA; I had the privilege of being on the USENIX/LISA blogging team with him a few weeks ago as well.

I ask Matt about being a standalone system administrator, and how his blog, online and local face-to-face communities help him in his daily tasks. We talk a bit about volunteering for one’s community as well.

Please take a listen to the audio, available on http://www.youtube.com/pamelaEsoteric.

I will post the transcript here sometime later today.
