Fin de año en carreras y terminando cosas pendientes

Bueno por dicha, después de muchos meses de sequía, hemos tenido algunos trabajos extras, que ayudan en mucho a cubrir los gastos de fin de año, pago de matrículas, aguinaldo para mis hijos ( si para que se compren sus cosas de fin de año ), traslado de las oficinas de la empresa que actual trabajo, etc.

De paso, centrado mucho en temas de Backup&Recovery, tanto en la Universidad, como en asesorías.

Pero al estar a menos de dos días para  "21/12/12", las noticias del "mundillo" tecnológico no se han movida de la misma manera que mi día a día.

Hemos entrado en un pequeño período de quietud, que no deja de ser extraño, pero que se justifica, debido a lo arduo que fue los trimestres II y III.

Por el momento, espero poderles compartir en los próximos días, dos buenos artículos, sobre conceptos básicos de Backup&Recovery y de Afinamiento de base de datos, con aportes de mis alumnos del Diplomado Database Administrator, de la ULACIT.

Hasta entonces y ahí les dejo algo alegórico a la fecha.
