For awhile now, I've been meaning to experiment with Puppet to get my server (and maybe even desktop!) config management under control. Since I've called in sick today (I guess I'll just have to miss that budget meeting...), I figure this is a fine opportunity to invest in some skill-building.
Note that I'm not a sysadmin or developer by training; but thankfully, I have the privilege to work with several incredibly competent ones at Koumbit Networks.
