Yes, it has, and I’m really sorry but at the moment all the blog writing has to take a lower priority. I am working very hard to finish my chapters of the upcoming  Pro Oracle Database 11g RAC on Linux, which turned out to be a lot more work than I expected. The last chapter I have to write from scratch is about ASM, and it’s again a meaty one. Luckily the first draft is complete and I sent it to Apress for review and the usual editorial work.

I so decided to quit my daytime job to focus entirely on the book, which I’d like to see released between Open World and the UKOUG conference this year.

Once completed, I intend to become a freelance Oracle database consultant, specialising on RAC (no surprises here!) and Oracle 11.2 upgrades. I am available from mid September (the first 4 weeks are already booked!) if you like-just contact me!
